It's already been one year at the MTC! Impossible! We have had one wonderfully exciting year. So many changes and memories made. Serving a mission in Provo has its advantages. It's a place that everyone likes to visit, so we see friends and family more often than we would otherwise. We have been blessed throughout our lives, but it just continues to get better!

We feel like we've found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

We have seen most of our children and grandchildren this year. Aaron and Erin live in Holladay, so we get to see them the most. Just this week, Sophie was baptized and confirmed. It was a blessing to be close enough to be a part of that ordinance.

Aaron and Erin have a musical and intelligent progeny. We look forward to the new member of the family joining us in summer 2010. Most of the family will be here to greet the one Sophie is hoping will be a little sister. Brendan was ordained to the office of a Teacher in the Aaronic Priesthood in June. He and Damon were in the local production of "Annie", which was great to see.
