Dad and John Visit Utah

Dad and John came to Utah August 11-14 (technically the 15 because that’s the morning they left to head back to San Antonio). They came to Altamont on the 11. They met us at the fair. We looked around the Home Arts snd 4-H sections. 

After the fair we went back to Mom’s. I invited Cam over to meet Dad and John. We had a nice afternoon/evening chatting, catching up, and eating dinner consisting of hamburgers, salads, fruit and veggie trays. 

I left to come back to Ogden that Wednesday night. Dad and John stayed in Altamont before heading to Ogden. They stayed with me at my apartment. I must admit we did zig see much of each other until Saturday. They had dinner plans Thursday and Friday nights with past co-workers and friends. I worked both of those days and those nights I was at the fair or volleyball.

Saturday rolled around and that was packing day. I went with them to their storage unit, after dropping off the rental car and Dad picking up the truck. We went and sorted and packed. Gumaro and Yvette came and helped too. Gumaro is the Tetris master, as Dad and John put it. Dad, John, and I were at the storage unit from 9 am to about 5 pm. 

After that I went back to my apartment for a shower and to wait for Meg and Mary to get to Ogden so we could go to Mike’s (John’s bother’s) for dinner. They were coming with me the next day to Judson’s farewell. Dad and John went straight to Mike’s. Dinner was delicious! Thanks to Mike and Kristen for hosting and feeding us!

Dad and John stayed at Mike and Kristen’s for the night and left early the next morning around 4 am. 

It was great to see you! Hopefully next time we won’t have to wait a year before we see each other in person!

How dirty I was after being at the storage unit all day. My arms looked like this too.

Weber County Fair

Work gave out free tickets to the Weber County Fair. I got some extra tickets and my cousin Taylee and her roommate Megan came along. It was a lot of fun. We walked around looking at vendors, ate some yummy food, watched a hypnotist show, listened to a band, and looked at the rides. Thanks ladies for a fun night!









Duchesne County Fair

Meg and Mandy both entered items in the fair. Meg entered 4 quilts and Mandy entered 1 doily. Meg got Blue Ribbons on all her entries and Mandy got a Best of Class Ribbon. Great job ladies!

Cute Sunflower Decorations

This is the decor for my console table. Dad and John gave me the sunflower bucket to match my plate as a Thank-You gift for letting them stay at my apartment while they were in Utah. While shopping with Meg and Mary, we found the sunflower, bird, and watermelon decoration and thought it would go along great with the other two. I think it looks fun!

Judson’s Farewell

Meg, Mary, and I had the opportunity to go and hear Judson speak for his farewell. He is going to the Chiclayo, Peru Mission. He will be part of the Peru MTC, but will be doing it from home. Aunt Mary, Uncle Boyd, Uncle Stan, Aunt Jerilyn, and Cam, Sam, and their kids were there as well. It was a fun late morning/afternoon trip. 

Good luck Judson! Peru will be lucky to have you!

Olympic Moments

We finally got to have the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. They ran from Friday July 23 - Aug. 8. I got to watch, quite a bit of it. What a 2 weeks it was. Congratulations to all the athletes who competed!

These are some of my favorite moments!







She is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (the church I'm a part of) and she competed for the University of Utah

Moving my Couches/Meg’s Furniture

The last week of July Meg and Eden and Meg had to be out of their town house. The rent got raised to just over $1,000 a month and they could no longer afford it. Eden moved back in with her parents and Meg moved back to Mom’s. I spent Monday and Tuesday helping her pack. Cam even came and helped on Tuesday (Eden and Meg both thank-you).

To help her out, I am storing her bed, dresser, Grandma’s rocking chair, and two book shelves. Plus some pictures (some of which I’ll hang up) and some quilts/blankets. So on Wednesday, July 28, we brought the load to Ogden, plus my couches (the shelves were already here).



I’m excited to finally have my couches here. I arranged the room several times before coming up with this arrangement. I moved the pink chair into my bedroom.
