Black and white + color on a Saturday.

 Bill and I have started working in the Mt. Timpanogos Temple on Saturdays. It is not our ideal or preferred shift, but we were thrilled to be able to both start on the same shift (the sweet Temple Presidency member we met with said, even though they didn't need more sisters for the Saturday 2nd shift, they will do what he tells them to do). Bill had worked for 4 years in the Denver Temple prior to the pandemic closure (he only worked once or twice after before we moved), but I have never been a Temple Ordinance Worker before, so it's all new to me. We are excited for the opportunity to work in the Saratoga Springs Temple once it opens.

This does make our Saturdays a little less free and available, but we manage to squeeze in what we can.

Saturday, February 19

After our temple shift, Bill changed and headed over the Austin and Britt's to help tile their laundry room.

It turned out amazing... and now I want my laundry room to have this tile too haha.

While Bill was doing that, I headed over to Westlake High School to watch my niece, Larkin, in her Color Guard competition.

It was so fun to watch her perform, and you know I miss those high school activities, right? I'm hoping to make it to a couple more this season. Larkin is a freshman, so will have a few more years of shows and competitions if she stays with it. I was totally impressed.

The Andersons came.

**My first time on the "new "blogger**I already hate it. It takes me so long to adjust to changes, so I'm not a fan when I am forced to comply. If things turn out funky, don't blame me. I can already tell I'm having issues with centering pictures and text, and ain't nobody got time to figure it out right now.   And WHY would blue be the default text color? AAAUUUUUGHHHHH!

July 11-19th

Britta and fam came to visit. I love summer visits, and it was especially fun because the kids are at such a great age. There was a lot of cousin time, and Little Billy and I loved the time we were able to spend with our adorable grands. 

**WARNING** Picture overload ahead. We did lots of "at home" activities, thanks to our friend COVID19, but also took a couple of trips to nearby parks. Not much commentary needed when there are so many cute pictures with sweet faces.

 

I've spent way too much time trying to get pictures to line up, let alone add any commentary. I may have to quit using Blogger and start doing chatbooks or another physical form of memory-keeping.

Regardless... it was the funnest week, despite a pandemic limiting what we could do (we nixed the zoo after discovering we would need to wear masks the whole time, and because we would need to reserve tickets online, and all morning sessions were full, and it rained nearly every afternoon... it just wasn't worth the $$ and effort).
