Melissa's big day!

How happy we are for Melissa to have found "the one".   I continue to be amazed at how many people meet online but what a blessing it is to have that avenue to meet people you otherwise may not cross paths with.  We met Michael for the first time back in November when they were in Utah together and stopped by the house for dinner. They seemed to compliment each other so well and it was clear they were looking forward to spending the rest of their lives together!  

What a treat it was to fly to Phoenix a couple months later to be a part of their special day where they were married in the Gilbert Temple.  We couldn't be more happy for the two of them.

Ringing in 2025 Florida style...

If there was one thing Sage kept asking for for Christmas it was a trip to Florida to see her friends!  It had been a little over six months since she made the flight out to Utah for the big move and boy did I hear all the time how much she missed her friends, followed up with when would she be able to go back to visit.  Well, new years seemed like the perfect time to go. The boys could watch Nova since they would be on the holiday break and Jack and I could enjoy Florida's version of winter.  So away we went.  While Sage was out ringing in the new year with friends Jack and I enjoyed a quiet night in the backyard watching drunk Anderson Cooper on CNN and fireworks across the lake. It was perfect.

Our happy camper with some of her besties!
