March and April are sort of a blur...
we were finishing up our new home and putting our old home on the market.
The old home sold within a week and this put the pressure on getting the new home ready for us to actually move into before closing on the old house.
Things fell into place perfectly, well for the most part, and it all has worked out so far.
We are living in our new home now, have not closed on it yet, but mostly settled in.
We had some great run-ins with RMs during these two months.
We were at a friend's reception when we thought we saw Kyle Denny...or someone who looked just like him, but I thought he was still in Missouri. Nope, he was here in real life!
So good to see him!
Then Michelle Summerhays Watts arranged to meet up with us when she was in town visiting and also helped orchestrate meeting up with Kellie Carrigan and Kaitlyn Tolley with her husband.
They are all just so great!!
We met at Kneaders in SLC for dinner and it was just so much fun!
Scott and I got away for a long weekend to Bryce National Park and had a wonderful time hiking in snow...
...and not so much snow! Beautiful place!
OK...this makes us SO HAPPY! Remember Molesi Vaoga? Well, our dear friends the Janulis from by the Mission Home are actually sponsoring him and his wife to live in the US and get work Visas. They live with them in Peoria now.
This is Molesi with Dana Janulis.
Got a call from Jesi Burton while she was in town working on job stuff and master's degree stuff and we went to lunch.
She was one of the first to get to see the Mission Quilt in it's new home in the APM room of our new home.
She is doing AMAZING! Hope it works out for her to come here to school!
OK, this is a little story about judging. See this moving crew we hired? Look a little rough around the edges, right? Well, we really enjoyed having them move our big stuff to the new house and they were so nice and friendly. At the end, one of them (the one in the gray shirt across from me) starts telling us about "my Church" and some of the things he is doing with them. Pretty soon he is telling us about being baptized 2 months ago, about being ordained to be a Priest and going to do baptisms for the dead in the temple. Yup. You CANNOT judge a book by it's cover. Made our day!
We had another visitor to the house. CarlosCecena was back in town and arranged to meet up at the house for dinner with us. What a great young man! He is working hard in Mexico making dental lab work like crowns etc and also practicing to be a dentist.
We love how he keeps in touch each time he visits.
Katrina Woo married her sweetheart in Bountiful in April and we got to be there for that special day!
This makes us so happy seeing HER so happy!
Our baby Braden graduated from BYU this month. We are also so happy for him!
We hosted our first APM DINNER GROUP in the new house this month and it was SO FUN!
Here the group are checking out the quilt in the APM Room.
