Ted and Melinda 2012

-->

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.
