McIntyre Reception

On Monday, December 22nd, Tim and I attended Eric McIntyre's reception in Orem.  It was awesome to see so many dear friends we knew in Japan-Mason's Fowers, Hunsakers, Millers, Durees, and we met Rick's mission president and his wife, President and Sister Evans.  It was great to finally get to meet them in person and to be able to thank them for all they did for our son.  

The reception was beautiful!

Dec 23

I took Luke swimming at the Legacy Center pool.  He loved it!  Afterwards we went to Ridleys for yaki soba.  As I was standing in line at the check-out, Luke said, "I want a drink of water," and took off.  The man behind me said, "finish checking out and I will look out for him, I have two."  Sure enough, he came back with Luke.  I asked him how old his two were and he said 33 and 31.  He said he lost one of them at the Festival of Trees a few weeks ago.  "When they see something that catches their eye, they are gone."  It was nice to meet someone who was understanding and helpful!  

Merry Christmas!

Popcorn and a Movie

I picked up several movies from the library so Tim and I could have a little date.  I don't watch movies often, but I knew Tim likes detective shows so I picked up Columbo, and a girl I work with had highly recommended Downton Abby so I got the first episode of it.  We first put in Columbo and it was about a symphony conductor who murdered his mistress (not the most uplifting theme) so we turned it off.  Then we put in the first episode of Downton Abby and found it to be even worse!  Oh well, we still have the Sound of Music, Stories of Christmas, Mandela:  Long Walk to Freedom, and Gilmore Girls.  Here's hoping we have better luck with these!
