Guess the Project...

What have I been up to lately and why?




I will say that I've been enjoying it. :)

Return of the Prodigal Blogger-Part 3

It's been way too many months since I've been on here other than to read your blogs. So, here are a few of the promised items. (Since space for pictures is so limited, I've put together collages to show several of the pictures from a few of the promised items, and hopefully, I'll be quicker at getting this updated. So here goes...)

1. Sid's valiant return from the South Dakota Rapid City mission on January 19, 2012. His flight was delayed over an hour. Not much to do in the Pocatello airport while waiting for an inbound flight. So we killed time as best we could until finally, the plane landed and we were able to see Sid again after two years and 6 days.


2. February 9, 2012 we gathered again as a family to celebrate the marriage of Jacob Dee Christensen and Amanda Marie Horrocks in the Salt Lake Temple. Then all day Saturday was spent changing a gym into a reception hall. The final result was amazing and the Bride was happy with how everything turned out.




3. For Valentine's this year we joined 10 other couples for a pot luck dinner, bowling, and dessert. We had a great time with everyone.

Also, I splurged on Dan's gift. We set a budget but I managed to get $30.00 knocked off his gift so that it came in under budget! SCORE!!!!! This was what I settled on for Dan this year:



4. This year, the day before my birthday Dan and I went exploring. We headed north and went to Sun Valley for the day. I'd never been there and Dan hadn't been there in 20 years.

We strolled around the resort and through the town of Ketchum, Idaho. The ski resorts had just closed and the summer season functions hadn't started yet so it was fairly quiet. There were some Easter events but they were all the next day...and we wouldn't be there.


Part of my catching up is now finished; brief but recorded. Yet to come...
  1. Dan's 50th Birthday Extravaganza
  2. Grandpa's funeral
  3. West Yellowstone Trip
