It's Always An Adventure

By -
Yesterday was our day to work at the Temple in Manhattan. Jess had to work so I had Charly in the morning and Karen Wall watched her in the afternoon. (oh, Aunt Vicki came for lunch which was really nice.) Dad took the motorcycle to Manhattan and I was to get on the train and get to the Temple by 5 p.m. (IF all went according to plan, which is really hard, because a few minute would have made the difference of me getting the train or not).

Well, we had lunch at the Dailey Planet and I was able to leave there by 1:45 p.m. Got to Walls by 2 p.m., left there by 2:15 and got to the train station and on the next train to NY. It was really nice. I prepared my Sunday School lesson and talked to grandma. I got to Grand Central. Found my way to the Times Square Shuttle and then to the 1 train going up to Lincoln Center. I was really proud of myself because I never did that before. I was dressed in my white clothes and ready to work by 5 p.m. Iknow the Lord helped with all this and making it work so perfectly. It was great to be in the Temple and step outside of the world, even if for a little while. Usually when we work in the temple, I never run across dad, but yesterday I was able to be with dad in the Endowment session and in the Celestial room. I really do love him.

After the temple, we rode the motorcycle into Times Square, parked and walked around and got a bite to eat. It was run and such a contrast to the quiet, calm of the Temple. Then we prepared for the long ride back to Poughkeepsie. It was an adventure! We were both sore when we got back!!

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!

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...

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...
