Young Harts

Wed., Nov. 26: We packed up and headed for St George and the sunshine. The first problem was that there wasn’t any sunshine that day or the day after – only lots of rain! I wished Lexi was with us, but it didn’t work out for her.

Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 27: We slept in a little, but were soon busy with preparing dinner. Lisa had been down with back problems, so that left me with most of the fixing to do. I did my best, but I know it probably wasn’t my best effort. We did enjoy each other’s company, though. Besides Harold, Stan & I and Tyson, Lisa’s two sisters, a husband, a male friend, and cute little Caylin were there. It was a good crowd and we had a relaxing time. We even got to watch 2 movies while we were there.

Nov. 28: More sun today, and Harold & I did a little shopping. Mostly too crowded to enjoy it, though. Jon & Lisa had a shock – they got their credit card bill and someone had stolen their identity and charged some ridiculous stuff on it - $7500 worth! They had bought a bunch of games and taken all the gang to dinner several times – big tippers like $200 or $150 each time! So they spent the day on the phone and the internet and being interviewed by the police. It seems that everything is going to be OK and they won’t have to pay. The charges were all in California; some on the same dates that Jon was charging here in Utah. It surely makes a hassle, though!

Nov. 29: It was a beautiful day, but we had to pack up and head for home again. I hated to leave Lisa and Jon with their problems, but there really isn’t anything I could do anyway. We stopped in Cedar to see our cousin, Marilyn and drove through Kingston to see where Dallas’ grandparents live. It was a nice change, and we still arrived home in time for Stan to watch USC win their game.

Sunday, Nov. 30: We started off the day with a good breakfast. I had choir at 11:30 and then our meetings starting at 1. In the evening we taught our temple class again. It is so good to do that. I love getting to know people and giving the lessons!

Dec. 1: Well, here we are to December! I don’t feel ready for Christmas at all, but I am determined that I am going to enjoy it and feel the spirit – I’ve been missing it for a few years. I already have all my snowmen out and some other decorations and am anxious to finish. Then I have to work on some shopping. We actually got up early and went to Wal-Mart and the grocery store. Then later in the day we went to the mall and found Stan a U of U T-shirt that he wanted. He was so pleased. We then went looking for furniture again. In the evening, we had a wonderful lesson (our last) with 2 of our couples. It was so sweet and spiritual and I feel so privileged to have this calling!
