DECEMBER 2017 JANUARY 2018 FEBRUARY 2018




OK...so it has been a very busy few months, and I have not updated.
Sorry!  More about this photo later...











This was our DECEMBER 2017 APM DINNER GROUP!

Way too much fun and a BABY!!!
Jessica Scott, Andrew, Alex and baby Griffin Pehrson, Lance Cabral, Emily and Adam Murry, Caleb Brown, and Christina Muhlestein


Alright...remember how President T and I would always coordinate our clothing to match??  Well, our MTC missionaries make sure to check each time they see us.  One night, I had not seen the tie Pres T chose, and ended up at the MTC wearing like burgundy and he was in yellow.  So, cute Sister McClung drew me a yellow PANDA to match his panda tie so we could be matchy!  Awesome!!


It was pretty  much GIRLS NIGHT for our January APM Dinner Group.  Lots of cancellations left us with the most beautiful group of girls to spend the evening with!

Lise Bennett, Sarah Jensen, Christina Polander and Crystal Bailey.
We laughed all night!


Early February we took a much needed trip for an ARIZONA FIX!!


First stop...the PHOENIX TEMPLE

Next stop, our favorite past-time of HIKING near the temple!

And we followed up with going to the temple with our dearest friends, the Janulis.  Nothing better!!
Who remembers Hannah from LDS Family Services?  Our lifesaver in so many ways!
Well, she came to an open house in our old ward and it made our night to see her and Greg and their two adorable adopted kiddos!!
Missions have a way of bringing people into our lives that we were always supposed to know!



Just one of our LIZARD friends...


We had a lovely luncheon with our dear Mission friends...


the Morris and Williams...



The Kiggins...

The Elcocks and Lyons...who just cannot stop serving missions!


The Rodgers and Cherry's...


And the Kings near their new home they are building.
OH HOW WE LOVE THESE PEOPLE!!!


We arranged to meet President and Sister Collins before they were going to dinner with the Waldrons for a Presidency meeting.

They are wonderful people and so happy to be serving in the BEST MISSION IN THE WORLD!


We arranged to stop by to say hello to our dear neighbors the Kluempers who live across from the Mission Home.  Cutest Family Ever!!



Our challenge in Relief Society in AZ was to get our pictures onto our LDS Profile so people could know who we were...




...Dana and I took the challenge and got our photos updated on our LDS accounts!!

We stayed with the Janulis family during the weekend and just had the BEST TIME!



And, to culminate a lovely weekend, we met with a few RMs in the area.
Karalee(Glenn) and Aaron Darrow and boys, Maureen(Keelin) and Chris Hirsch, Amy (Folsom) Wurm, Zach McCook and Steven Hunsinger.
WONDERFUL time visiting with all of them and getting updated!  WE LOVE YOU ALL!  Come visit or sign up for dinner!




















 OK,  Here is our fun group from this month's Sunday Dinner Group!

Chris and Tiffany Stott, Amanda and Tanner Gardner, Laura and Landon Bouwhuis, Garrett and Brianna Nuttall, Brooke and Nathan Wainwright, Caleb and Elizabeth Leonhardt and us!  We had a great time visiting!

President T happened to be at Frontrunner at just the right time to get to ride up to SLC with our Albanian District as they left for their mission assignment!  This group was one of those amazing groups that we really connected with.  They reminded us of you!  Fun, Loving and Obedient!







We ended the month in the best way ever...at the sealing of Jesus "Fredy" Castro to Mandy Halloran in the SLC Temple.







We were joined by GregMcCuch and Jake Parry too, so it was a triple blessing to be there!
CONGRATS TO Fredy and Mandy!
