February 2011

Incredible!!!

South for the winter. Palm trees. Clear blue skies. Warmer weather.
WRONG!
Well, to be honest, it was warmer. We left Salt Lake in 5 degrees and heated up to 12 degrees in St. George. Records lows followed us. We set out to find a 'new' old temple. Randi, Lane & I entered through it's doors for the first time. Incredible!

One week later Randi enters the MTC wearing my name tag "Sister Howell". I guess I'll have to get a new one...

Lane and I submitted papers to serve a 23 month mission. Our start date could be as early as July (with some assurance of returning for a key family event in the Fall)!

Baby-no-more-Brennan invited us to a celebration marking ONE year.

Kim came for a sleepover and shared a glimpse into her Egypt memoirs - a bound book of personal photos.


And we succeeded in escaping the cold on our next try...
10 days in the Caribbean
Wow! Incredible!
Home again. It is always sweet to return to our family.
Thanks for the airport transport, house sitting and dinner Sam & Jamie.

My last ward newsletter was also my last. That calling has been my favorite one.

Time to organize, declutter, downsize, and pack up again. We have moved 8 times in 14 years. It would appear that we are due.

I feel a tapioca night coming...Mom & Dad
Carolyn & Lane
