love it

I sure have loved all the posts lately.. Kayla, thanks for sharing the story of Jeff washing the feet of your daughters on Trek, while he did share quite a bit of Trek with us, he failed to mention that storing and I have been unable to get it out of my mind. Like you, I will always think of him doing that. I have had quite a week as I continue to work on family history. I have had new doors open up. I was going through some old papers that I had filed away and found a note I made at least 20 years ago mentioning that my mom's mother had had a baby girl die at age 2 back in 1907. I found it on an old tombstone long before my grandparents were even married when my grandmother was married to someone else. I can now have that little girl sealed to her parents. That work might never have happened if I had not jotted that note down when visiting the cemetery one day in Caldwell and just made a note of it. I am amazed of things that are happening. I read of things like this, but now it is happening to me and it is quite unbeliveable. Rick and I continue to move towards retirement and a mission. I confirmed with my boss this week and I will definitely be retired by end of year. I am meeting with a realtor on Tuesday. There are 2 other houses on the market right on my street. Darn. May make it harder, but I will not stress...the Lord will help us. We know McKenna will hear this week on her mission. We are so excited for her. By this time next week, she will know and be making her plans. Can you believe it? Just yesterday, she was in diapers...or so it seems. That is how fast the time goes. Mark and Angie will be in their new home. My family is on the move. David and I had a nice phone visit last week. I wish he weren't so far away. He needs us. June 29th is the Hannum family reunion in Belle Valley. Rick and I will be going. Sure would be fun if some of my kids could go. I would love to show you off but I know it is so far away. Jeff, let me know what you are thinking for your trip here....we want to get making plans ASAP. Well, getting ready for church, but wanted to send a quick update. Rick and I are speaking tonight to the elders Quorum and their wives on balancing our lives...church, family, work, school. I don't know if I am a good one to address those topics, but will give it a shot. My kids might tell a different story. I love you Hall. MOM
