Updates

I looked at our blog this morning and was so embarrassed to see how long it has been since we have posted anything.  Well, it's time to make amends.  I will attempt to update you on a few things that we have done over the past several months and then try and keep up from now on!

I'll start back in May - I went to BYU Women's Conference for the first time.  My friend, Katheryn McCurdy (former BYU roommate) and I went together and shared a dorm room in Helaman Halls.  I came away very grateful I never actually lived there as a student. I think I would have had permanent back problems from the wooden-like beds.  But it was fun being roomies with Katheryn again for a few days.  And the conference was awesome.  I hope to make it an annual event.  I loved being on campus again.  A lot has changed in 30 years (Did I say that?) but that wonderful nostalgic feeling was still there.

 

While we were there, we met Jared in the Cougareat and visited with him for a little bit.  Then on the way to the airport we stopped in Lehi and saw Nicole and Camden.  Camden, of course, gets cuter every time I see him.

Then in June (I think it was June anyway.) Dan, Nicole, and Camden came down here for a visit.

Camden learned to play the piano.......

.....and became an expert at ping pong all in one week.  Cute AND smart!


In July, we went up to Utah for a Klundt family reunion.  We stayed in a house in Heber City and spent the week playing games, going for walks, and catching up with members of the extended family.  We were also able to get in a couple visits with Mom and Marlowe in St. George at each end of the trip.  For some reason, we have no pictures of that entire week.  I have no idea why.  You'll just have to take my word for it that we had fun.


On August 15, my sweet grandmother (Nana) passed away.  She was 94 years old.  She was not doing well at all and I know she is at peace now, but I will miss her terribly.  Whenever I see canned peaches, crocheted blankets, chocolate covered cherries, calico kitties, or patchwork rugs, I will think of her and smile.

Last weekend we drove up to Prescott to celebrate Ashley's birthday with her and Jason.  We spent Friday evening at Jason's parents' home.  They cooked a wonderful dinner then we played Wits and Wagers and ping pong.  It was really great getting to know them.  Then Saturday morning we went out to breakfast with Ashley and Jason then back to their apartment to visit for a few minutes before heading back home.  It was fun spending time with them and it was a nice break from the heat of the valley.

Don't let the bonfire fool you.  She is only 25 years old, but the camera is very illuminating.

This is a sewing machine she got for her birthday.  Looking forward to seeing her projects!

Well, that's all I can think of for now.  But keep checking back for more updates, I promise!!
