Grandma Skousen's 90th Birthday

My Grandma Jewel Skousen just celebrated her 90th birthday! The family held a party in her honor at her church ward in SLC, Utah. It was wonderful to see my Grandma and all of my other relatives again. I had not seen most of them since my sister Angie's wedding eight years ago!

We moved to New York!

This summer Rick and I moved to a small town called Port Ewen in New York. We are about an hour and a half north of NYC. Rick was able to secure a position as a recruiter (Army) and so his new job took us here. He requested New York because he is from here and his family lives here. We moved into an apartment complex that sits right next to a little lake. I have been spending most of the summer by myself because Rick is away at recruiter school. I do have my work cut out for me though with all of the unpacking left to do!
