our house is haunted

for a month we have had a leak on our roof leading down the chimney and into the livingroom. No wns in sigt. We had a new roof installed two months ago and they say "its not our fault"!!! so now we are struggling to get answers and repairs and looking for sanity ( well, that is my part)

so we had to move eveything out of the living room

empty livingroom with mold on the ceiling and window wall

more stuff being stored

so I am the louevre thief looking for my own jewels to pay for this!

good news, our Lindon temple will be open for my Birthday 2026

we celebrated Emilys birthday

we celebrated with our Geneva 1 ward

Parker is home from his mission and helped bring  some sanity to our home

but we continue to leak

and the paint is coming off. 

 

Siblings in Dallas

Terry and I in 90 degrees in October--everyday in the pool! As our dAd would say, A LITTLE SLICE OF HEAVEN"

the trip included helping Dallas with his 4 kids under the age of 5 as they atteneded the Dallas temple. Somoved like VAlerie taught me, as a preschool teacher. Playing outside which included a walk past Halloween decoration and a little picnic there, a craft with acorns, more food, lots of help from Doug and Jim, more games, 

Did I mention the 90 degree weather?

here are the COmpanions of Victoria after a temple visit

And best of all COUSINS in the MTC. My heart is so full and I feel so blessed to see this photo. Two oldest grandkids willing to serve and bring people to Jesus Christ, to sacrifice their youong adult life to serving others. I could not be more joyful in this. I continue to pray for their health and happiness and all our other missionaires who are serving others.

Jim and I awaiting the opening of the Lindon temple, biking and hiking by each week. Prayers for all of our fellow neighbors in this trying time in Orem as we have been in the news for several shootings, these are to times that try mens souls.
