What? It’s Christmas
again? Wasn’t Christmas just last
month? Have twelve months really gone by
already? We must be getting old – time
is starting to fly by way too fast. Our
children are busy with their families, work, school, and church callings. Our
grandchildren are getting taller and smarter. We don’t think we have changed a
bit – then we look in the mirror and see that we have. Still, this is an exciting time in our
lives. Our children and grandchildren
seem to be doing well, and so are we. We
are serving in a Young Single Adult Stake.
Ted is in a bishopric and Melinda is a counselor in the Stake Relief
Society Presidency. We have had some time to travel to the National Parks in
Utah and Yellowstone, spend some time in Southern California, and ride our
motorcycle some. As you are reading this
blog, we are probably on a cruise across the Atlantic from Barcelona, Spain to
Brazil. We have looked forward to this
for a while and hope to be able to meet with a family that Ted baptized on the
last day of his mission in Brazil. We
love our immediate and extended families. We cherish the memories we have with
family and also with all the dear friends through the years. May you be happy and healthy this coming
year, and may we express to you our sincere thanks for all you mean to us.
