Labor Day Weekend

By -



It's Monday evening! It's been a great weekend. I am waiting for dad to change because we are taking the bike out and going out for dinner. He spent all day at the lake with uncle bob and the cousins and I was with Aunt Julie, but we did go out and meet them. I took Aunt Julie to look for photo spots for the photos for Stacey's reception. We found a nice spot. They filmed Hello Dolly there. It's in Garrison. It looks like a place lost in time. Around the 40's. With an old fashioned train station and building and a beautiful park on the rivers edge with a gazebo. West Point is just across the river.

Now is the count down to the wedding and all the festivities. Do you all know your flight schedules??

Saturday we went with Stacey to the Washington DC temple. (I have pix in Stacey's camera, which my USB cable doesn't fit - since I can't find my own camera). The Spirit was so strong and Stacey was so touched by it all. It was wonderful. I am so grateful for the temple and the covenants we make there. The temples has blessed my life tenfold. I am so grateful that you kids have a desire to go there and make those sacred covenants with God and to feel the Spirit there. It is one of the greatest blessings of my life. I have to pinch myself when I think I got to bring my own dear mother to the Temple in Boston. There we were sealed to my father and he was sealed to his parents, and my mother was sealed to her parents and her brother, Sal, who died in a fire at a young age. That is something I don't take for granted at all. I look forward to the day when Jessica and her family will go to the Temple for those same blessings. I know it is a desire of Jessica's heart.

Dear Jessica

I want you to know how much I admire you. I know that time is short for you and your family to be together and there are lots of things to do. But somehow I feel that you are one of the lucky ones. In these next few weeks, you will love Jeron more than you ever have and you will cherish all your moments together as a family as most of us civilians never do. You are strong. You come from strong stock. Me, my mom, her mom, grandma hett, aunt julie, stacey, kristie. When you were Charly's age, you always loved to be in the wind and rain. I would carry you and try to shield you from the bad weather, but you always poked your little face, loving the rain and wind beating on it. I still have that image of that baby girl as I look as you now. You have challenges and trials and yet are so willing and ready to face them head on. Love each second with your husband! He is a good man. Know that the Lord is mindful of you and keep a record of his many blessings to you and Jeron. You...

A Challenge

By Stacey -
So Jake and I have been watching a lot of tv and decided to take pick at least one day of the week and not turn on the TV at all. We challenge you guys to do the same. We are going to do Mon ( our fam home evening day). So, we challenge you guys to do the same...no TV, no movies, and no excessive internet surfing for one day a week. Go for a walk, a hike, start reading a book together, clean, make dinner together, do random service for people you don't know, go to bed early! Let me know how it all goes!

hi Ya'll (thats what everyone says here in TX) Jeron and I have made great friends with Vanessa And Eder..... (jeron works with him) They are really down to earth and are SO good with charly. They are our age and both mexican.....(jeron fits right in with them... lol kidding) Last night the 4 1/2 of us went to a carnival.... we all took turns riding the rides and watching charly.... then we all stuffed our faces with corn on the cob, cotton candy (which charly loved), and caramel apples YUMM. we watched all the animals in the petting zoo, got fake tattoos (some things never get old) and just sat and talked. It was so fun. It just made me feel so good.....Just in the sense of me and jeron and charly being our own little family in Texas..... 100's of miles from where we were raised..........being on our own... not depending on anyone anymore.... and being so happy together. I feel like we have come so far from where we were 2 years ago... when I didn't eve...
