Karen had a free weekend at the RV Park in Cannon Beach and invited us along. It was beautiful!<br />
<br />
Dad and I took off in the wee hours of the morning, August 20th. We crossed over at Bridge of the God's to the Washington side and went through Washougal....etc. ending up at Long Beach. We did a bit of shopping and had lunch before going on over to Astoria and working our way down to Cannon Beach, where we met up with Karen and crew!<br />
<br />
The RV Park was pretty nice; equipped with nice showers, a pool, Jacuzzi and within walking distance of the beach. Thursday night we had dinner before heading over to the beach to watch the sunset. Then we went swimming. Friday was spent shopping before heading over to Oswald State Park and relaxing at the beach.... Saturday we did the shopping, sightseeing and beach thing. Late in the evening we walked into town for ice cream, then on down to the beach until way after dark.<br />
<br />
Sunday morning, Dad and I left early and took our time heading home. We took an alternate route which was rerouted because of the fires and ended up getting to Portland late afternoon. We went to dinner, drove over to the temple where we walked the grounds...then headed on home....arriving late...as usual. :) But it was worth it. We had a wonderful weekend and treasured time with family!<br />

We started out in the late afternoon on Tuesday the 21st. We drove all night, tried to rest at different rest stops until we pulled into Reno around 11 a.m. Wednesday. Was super excited to spend time with Dad and Lannette. I also met my inheritance...Fred the Tortoise! </span><br />

Wednesday, after lunch we spent the afternoon doing some thrift store shopping and then back home for a scrumptious dinner of seafood fettuccine! On Thursday, we mainly just hung out, and then hit the local mall and looked at "man stuff", ha!! Dad made us a wonderful Salmon dinner. It was just good to be with them.<br />

We left around 9 a.m. Friday to drive on down to Sacramento. The Olsen's rented an awesome little house so we all bunked there. Josten flew in, Shasta drove with her mom, and Javis and Jonbrock drove down with Liliana and Bricen. It was a blessed day for Jovi. He was so happy. Sam is a wonderful girl. The sealing was special, and spiritual while the wedding reception was magical. So happy that we could be included in their special day. So grateful to have spent time with Josten too!<br />

So fun. Thursday, John did story time at Colson's preschool, which was fun for the kids. They LOVE John. Afterward, John and I snuck downtown BF and did some serious thrift-store shopping (scored on lots of fun stuff). Friday the kids didn't have school so we took a little hike and just played around. On Saturday, when Owen got home, we drove over toward Coeur d'Alene and did another long hike before heading back home. It was bliss just hanging out with the kids and holding little Talia. It was a nice relaxing weekend....we desperately needed!<br />

John and I took Karen, Travis and the kids to Depoe Bay with us this year and had an awesome time. Did lots of site-seeing, swimming, shopping and touristing. Is that even a word?<br />
<br />
John and I went up Wednesday the 7th and lucked out ~ we were able to check into the condo early which left us an entire day of play. Of course, after unpacking our stuff, we headed straight over to Newport and had lunch at the Chalet...our favorite clam chowder...then on to do some shopping.<br />
<br />
Karen's crew arrived Thursday and after they unpacked, we hit the streets and did the tourist thing, and once it got dark, walked down to the pier in Depoe Bay. Friday, we toured the Lighthouse Museum, and then played on the beach where Tracen nearly got swept away by the tide and shop hopped in Depoe Bay. Saturday, we toured the Ripley's Believe it or Not museum (waste of $) and the Hatfield Marine Science Center. It rained most of Saturday so it was a good day to do that!<br />
<br />
Our favorite highlight was watching the sea lions in Newport. They are so loud and boisterous but it was fun to watch them squabble...kind of like Mackenzie and her siblings...ha!<br />
<br />
Our room, of course was fabulous. I sat outside on the deck in short sleeves eating my breakfast. We caught sight of a few whales as well, which was fun.<br />

John and I escaped from reality Wednesday (17th) and drove up to our timeshare at Arrow Point on Lake Coeur d'Alene for a long, fun weekend. It was an amazing trip. Wednesday, after settling in, Jehkiah and Casey brought Jace and little Nyla for a short visit. They came again on Thursday and had dinner with us and we spent the evening visiting and playing with the kids.</div>

<span style="text-align: left;">Our condo was awesome. Nice big master bedroom, bath and kitchen. Plenty of room to entertain. The view out the back was breathtaking, especially in the morning when the mist hovered over the lake.</span></div>

Friday, Shasta and the kids came and I took them swimming in the pool! We had so much fun. Lots of good bonding with Grandma, which I love!!! Afterwards, we had snacks and lunch back at our place and just hung out! Karen & Travis arrived just about dinnertime.<br />

Karen won tickets to the water park in Hayden so that's where they spent their Saturday! Dad and I drove into Post Falls and met up with Josten and family. Josten's family and Shawnte's crew followed us up to the condo where we hung out for awhile. After Shawnte' left, I took the kids swimming in the pool...again! What fun to have that form of entertainment. I love to swim. We had a great time. Karen was there when we finished so we all got to hang out and visit.

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">As usual, I've got to play catch up now that I've allowed too much time to go by. In reality, not much is happening on the home-front other than work, church, and living for Jayden's emails! ha.... Jayden is currently serving as a Trainer in Hrazdan and loving the work. I hope I can get him home when the time comes...ha! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Love getting Jayden's weekly emails!!</span></span></h3>
<h3>
<b><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;">June 1, 2014<o:p></o:p></span></b></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">We had such an amazing opportunity to meet with Elder David A.
Bednar, an Apostle of the Lord, like Peter or Paul. There is so much I
could say, but I'll share a few thoughts coming away from that meeting. <br />
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br />
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">First, faith requires action. We often pray for things and
wonder why we aren't getting answers. But does the Lord really work that way?
Does He just give us things? No! Faith without works is dead, as we
learn in James 2. If you pray for something, that's great. To pray
in faith means to do everything in your power to make it happen, trusting that
the Lord will give you strength and will make it possible. <br />
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br />
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Second, Elder Bednar helped us realize that we don't need an
Apostle to answer our questions. Anything we learn is taught to us by the
Spirit. We are meant to act, not to be acted upon. Have you ever
been in a classroom where a teacher gives an hour long boring lecture, and you
walk out having learned nothing? That's being acted upon. But then
let's say you go and you find something you want to learn about and so you get
online, learn all about it, think about it throughout the day, talk about it
with others, etc, and you find that you know all there is to know about
whatever it is! THAT is acting. Apply that to spiritual things, and I
think that's the secret to learning from the Spirit ~ that, and obedience to
the commandments of God. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Finally, I want to testify that David A. Bednar really is an
Apostle, called by God. He is a prophet, seer, and revelator. I had
the opportunity to shake his hand. The man was filled with humility, and
Godly power. He was filled with the Spirit of God. I was humbled to
be in his presence and feel his genuine love. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<b style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">June 8, 2014</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I had a
really neat experience this week with one of our investigators. He called
and told me that the Book of Mormon, praying, and coming to church had changed
his life. How great it was to hear his testimony. I can honestly say that
was one of my happiest moments on my mission, and maybe even my life. It
showed that this really is God's work. Our lessons with him this week
have been so much better, as we have tried to focus on listening and asking
inspired questions, like Elder Bednar did with us, thus allowing the Spirit to
teach him. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">This week was fun! We got to dance with some Armenians!
Armenians love dancing. It was awesome. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Also, we were doing service, and my companion was pulling up some
grass with a pickax. He swung at the ground, hit a low-hanging
clothesline, and the pickax bounced back and the sharp, pointy end hit him
right above the eye. He had a huge, nasty gash through his eyebrow.
It was crazy! We went to a hospital, because it needed stitches,
and they literally just put tape on it. So we came back home and I sealed
it up with super glue. He was really blessed not to have hit his eye.
Kind of scary but made for a good story. It's healing well. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<b><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;">June 15, 2014</span></b><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I got to have a cool
experience too, yesterday. We went up into the mountains into a small
forest to help a family pick pine cones and mushrooms to make food from.
What a beautiful landscape. The scenery was amazing. And being in
nature was so spiritually uplifting. In the morning, the mission president
called me and told me "Tomorrow we're giving you a change of
scenery." I'm getting transferred to a new area to be a zone leader.
Transfers here are 12 weeks, and it's only been six weeks, so that came as a
surprise. I'm sad to leave my companion and district already, but my new
companion is the same guy that was my district leader last transfer! </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>June
23, 2014</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">This was my first week in my new area, a small town called Ashtarak.
I love it here. It's a gorgeous place, with trees canopying the streets,
a massive gorge that runs through the town, and mountains in the distance (the
two iconic mountains of Armenia, Ararat and Aragats are both visible from
here). The church is very small here, but the members are amazing.
It's a lot warmer here, and we are out walking in it a lot. But,
it's great. We're trying to work with members and use other, more
effective ways to find people to teach, as opposed to just walking and talking
to people on the streets. It's hard work, but it's definitely worth it.
I love being here, I love Armenians, and I love being a missionary.
<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>June 29, 2014</b><u style="font-style: italic;"><o:p></o:p></u></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Just want to share a cool
experience. We decided to go say hi to someone the missionaries used to
teach here, just to see how she was, if there was anything we could do, etc.
We said hi, she said she'd call, and we left. But as we got a
little ways down the road, she called out at us to come back in. Her
sister and her friend were there, and her friend made her call us back and
invite us in because she needed to hear God's word. That's kind of our
specialty... So we had a good discussion and we're going to start teaching
them! Goes to show that God places people in your path when you do the
right things and are doing the best you can to use your time wisely and help
others. </span><br />

There have been bittersweet emotions these past 6 months as Jayden serves faithfully in the Armenia Yerevan Mission. The feeling of loneliness is overwhelming at times but even that is becoming a shadow of its original intensity. Jayden is loving the work and growing so fond of the people he serves. How can I deny him this experience by holding him back? I finally feel as if I've let go and allowed him to soar. He's an amazing missionary and has already made District Leader. Jayden was born to lead, and born for this time. Of that I am absolutely certain. He has mastered the Armenian language.<br />
So proud of him~</div>

John and I are learning to live life without Jayden being the center of it. We're talking more, dreaming more and laughing more. Key ingredients to a long standing relationship, I think. We've taken a couple of trips. We took a day trip with Kevin & Cindy up to Colville to look at property. We went by way of Lake Roosevelt which involved riding the ferry. That was a great day! Just good conversation, munchies and scenery. </div>

On Memorial Day we took a day trip to Packwood with Karen and crew. Spent the day walking around the flea market, then lunch then on a hike. We were so blessed as it was drizzling all day but did not rain until we'd returned from our hike at the Blue Hole. Prayers were answered. Fun day with our kids.</div>

<u><i>February 10th:</i></u><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">I'm finally here in Armenia!! I got assigned to serve in Gyumri, Armenia, which is up north. It's FREEZING COLD. I hate cold weather, snow, and ice, all of which is plentiful here. But the great thing is, none of that bothers me. I know that I am exactly where God needs me to be. And I love these people here. My second night here I found myself crammed into a taxi with my companion and four other Armenians. The drivers are psycho, everyone was shouting in Armenian, and I was laughing my head off because I had absolutely no idea what was going on. </span><br />
<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1395090155905_3344" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

I'm not allowed to use people's names over the Internet, for their own protection. So, if you ever wonder why I'm being vague, that's why. </div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1395090155905_3346" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

My trainer is so awesome. His name is Elder M-----. He is such a great example of charity, dedication, and humility. I know that my assignment here, with him, was inspired. We are both committed to working hard, having fun, being obedient, and loving the people. </div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1395090155905_3362" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

I have had the opportunity to teach already, and it is definitely a struggle. I can't really understand most of what other people are saying, and that's a little discouraging. But I pray for the Spirit to help me understand, and to be there as I speak. I have felt Heavenly Father's help as I try to help these people and focus on them. It's not about the language, it's about the people. </div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1395090155905_3350" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

We have one lady that is going to be baptized next month! That is so exciting, because baptism opens the door to so many other blessings... essentially the Kingdom of God. We went to her house yesterday and took her to church with us. </div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1395090155905_3352" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

There is a lot of poverty here. Most people live in run-down concrete buildings. But all the people at church seem happy. It goes to show that the Gospel can bring happiness where money or worldly possessions can't. </div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1395090155905_3354" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

I know that I am doing exactly what God want me to be doing right now, and I am so happy to be able to bear my testimony to the people of Armenia, and to all of you that I know that Jesus Christ is our Savior, and by following, and doing as he would have us do, and by <i>becoming</i> what he would have us <i>become</i>, we can find joy in this life and eternal joy in the next. </div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">My companion is exactly a year older than me, and his last name is the same as Mom's cousin Sandra's last name. He actually does kind of like metal haha. The DL is in the same town, with Elder Pttr from the MTC! We also have two sisters in Gyumri. That's it up here though, no one is in the villages or smaller towns. If they're baptized, we're putting them into covenants they can't keep because they can't get to church. </span><div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1395090155905_4658" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

Dad and Mom, since I got here, God has blessed us incredibly with new investigators. We are REJOICING! But we had to do that before things started taking off. What a blessing and a miracle. We went from 2 investigators to 11 in three days. We are meeting the standards of excellence, and I think we may be one of the only ones. We are the only ones in our district. But I don't say that as a means of boasting. Rather, like Ammon, I'm boasting in the Lord. He really does guide us, if we are willing and worthy, to the elect who are prepared. We are blown away by this. It is such a tender mercy. </div>

<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1395090155905_5130">
So a couple of "fun" things about Gyumri I forgot to mention last week... The sidewalks aren't paved, so they're covered in snow, but mainly ice, which is super uneven and kills your feet. Also, the dialect here is different, they call it Gyumri Barbar. So all the stuff I learned in the MTC has gone out the window... haha not really, it's not too bad, but there are some things that they say that are just completely different than the grammar we learned. </div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1395090155905_5129">
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1395090155905_5128">
Also, I've managed to gain 10 pounds since leaving the MTC. That was a week and a half ago... </div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1395090155905_5127">
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1395090155905_5126">
This week has been incredible! In the past few days we have found several new people to teach, and the work is just taking off. We started off with 2 people we were teaching when I first got here, and now we have over 10. I believe this is because my companion and I have great companionship unity. We both strive to be dilligent, obedient, and consecrated. We are also both committed to being happy. The happier we are, we've noticed, the better response we get from people on the street. We are trying to let our light shine. We really haven't done anything special to find these people... actually it just felt like they fell right into our lap as we were trying to do our best and talk to everyone. What a miracle and blessing it has been. I'm always trying to be grateful to the Lord and show Him that I recognize that these blessings are coming from Him, because I know that humility is one of the most important things in this work. </div>

So, everyone has mistakes with the language... In Armenian, the only difference between "I know" and "I don't know" is the "ch" sound. So, I was trying to bear testimony that the Book of Mormon is true, but I said, "There are a lot of things I don't know, but one thing that I definitely don't know is that the Book of Mormon is true." Fortunately, my companion caught my mistake and corrected it. <div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1395090155905_6049">
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1395090155905_6042">
I have such a testimony that as we work hard to do the best we can, God helps us through our challenges. It's been very hard to understand when people speak to me. But as I press forward with faith and optimism, I've noticed that everyday I can understand a little more. I have absolute confidence in the Lord to know that everything doesn't come to us at once, but as we show our faith in Him, He gives us what we need to get through the day. </div>

This week has been a lot more difficult as far as the work goes. We've had people move away or lose interest, and most of the appointments we set this week fell through. It's been difficult to find new people to teach. But there was a silver lining--we had a baptism this week! That was exciting. The Spirit was strong, and one of our other investigators with a baptismal date was there. I talked with her about that, and she is excited to be baptized and begin a new life. I think that makes all the struggling worth it, when you can see the gospel changing lives. She has told us that before she met us, she used to get angry a lot, but now she turns to the Lord and reads the Book of Mormon. We want to help her value prayer more too, so she has that strength to rely on in times of need.<br /><div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1395090155905_7477">
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1395090155905_7345">
I know that through our struggles, we become stronger. We often don't understand our trials or weakness in the middle of our struggling, but if we remain faithful, and rely on the Lord for our strength, we will be able to look back and see where we have come. </div>

<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1395090155905_6941">
We had a member of our Area Presidency come and visit us this week. He asked us to exercise faith in the Lord that if we spoke to everyone we could, with real hope and intent to be able to teach them instead of just getting contact information (which almost never works out), the Lord would bless us with more people to teach. He asked us to change our thoughts and attitudes to ones of hope. As we did this, having faith in his promise, we were immediately blessed with a phone call from a member, saying she had a neighbor that wanted to meet with us! </div>

<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1395090155905_6942">
The Lord really does bless us for our faith. But we don't see the blessings until AFTER <i>acting</i> in faith. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">John and I took a quick trip to Alabama / Georgia to visit with Josten and Jehkiah and it was magical. Of course, John fell in love with it all (must be the trees that completely surrounded us.) We weren't in a position to plan a trip like this. It was an
unexpected surprise, paid for by members of Jehkiah's ward who
insisted that we come so that John could ordain Jehkiah a High Priest. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Jehkiah and
Josten picked us up at the airport in Atlanta on Saturday (the 1st). We arrived there at about 8:45 p.m. Actually, our flight got in about 30 minutes early so we had to wait for the boys a while. What a huge airport ~ I was so grateful there was a wheelchair available and someone to push John to baggage claim. It's about an hour and a half drive to where they live from
Atlanta, but we took our time to drive around the city a bit and later,
on the way home, stopped off for a bite to eat at this waffle house. It was
fun. The waitress was pure southern hospitality! <i>"What can I get for you darlin'?"</i> I loved it...</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">We stopped at Jehkiah's place first to drop him off and take a peek at Jace who was fast asleep. Jehkiah and Casey have a cute apartment tucked off in the
woods. Then on to
Josten's where we stayed the whole time. He, too, lives off in a little
area on the outskirts of town in a wooded neighborhood. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The
house was spacious and has a bonus room above the
garage that doubles as a playroom ~ homeschool ~ Grandparents guest room :), and that's where we slept. It was so warm that each
night we had to open
the window next to our bed and let some cool air in. We fell asleep to the sounds of crickets
chirping and frogs croaking outside. On Monday, it got up to 70
degrees and we were in short sleeves. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Sunday morning we went to
church. The ward was so amazingly friendly and warm. It seemed like everyone knew us
already by name and made us feel so welcome. It was fast Sunday and Jehkiah conducted ~ his first time. He's a natural! That ward members adore Jehkiah and Josten, and their families, especially
the stake leadership. Both of them bore their testimonies and had us in tears. It was a beautiful day. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jehkiah's<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> boss, </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">President
Eiland was there and he bolted from the stand in the chapel to
meet us and then sat with John through Sunday School and Priesthood. Apparently, they are just alike and think
the same way. This is the man Jehkiah has spent every day with
swapping stories and so it was like they had always known each other.
Everyone kept asking when we were moving out there. After the block we went in to the Bishop's office and Dad got to ordain
Jehkiah a High Priest. That was a spiritual experience for us all. Then we all went home to Josten's and had a huge feast.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Monday
Jehkiah, Josten and John hung out together and drove around looking at
houses and stuff, then Josten took all of us to Ft. Benning and gave us
the grand tour. He took us all through Columbus (which is on the
Georgia side of the Chattahoochee River) and Phenix City (which is on
the Alabama side of the river. It's like Tri-Cities. Those two cities
(and Ft. Benning) are all right together, divided only by the river.
Ft. Benning itself is several thousand people. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Later in the
after noon we went to the base PX (military retail stores). It is
actually a mall! John got one of those electric scooters and drove
all over the place with Breck and Sienna riding on it with him. That night we all had dinner together, again and visited until late. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On
Tuesday morning Josten had to go to work early so John, Jehkiah and I (and Jace) drove
around town to see the
sights. Then we went over to Columbus sate University where
Casey is head volleyball coach and women's athletic director. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Both Columbus and Phenix
City have historic as well as modern architecture, and we walked down
to their river front park (like Spokane's) and enjoyed the features
there. That's when Jayden called, so we spoke to him for some time. He
sounded so mature and spiritual. He admitted having had some refining
while at the MTC that helped strengthen his commitment and enthusiasm.
(Overcoming struggles of self-doubt). It was emotionally hard,
obviously, to say goodbye. He told me he loves me in Armenian which made me cry. Then he bore his
testimony in Armenian to John. Then John asked him if he would recite the First
Vision in Armenian beginning with "I saw a pillar of light..."
That's when they both lost it. He was in
Salt Lake at the time he called (at the airport waiting for his flight
to New Jersey). There was concern his flight would be cancelled because
of an Arctic storm that had already delayed flights. But, he was
determined he would make it and call us later from there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When Josten got off
work we all met over at Ft. Benning to the Army's National Infantry
museum. It was stunning and awe inspiring. A sober and reverent place
where the government has spared no expense to honor the
infantry soldiers of every war since the Revolution. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After
that they treated us to dinner (for Dad's birthday) at a Hibachi Japanese
Buffet and it was fantastic food!!! What fun! We all sat around this
long table in a banquet room and feasted! Then Breck
and Sienna brought Grandpa out a bag with a gift inside: a shirt and hat he had eye balled at the infantry museum!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We got done late and visited for a while but had to finally get to bed
so that we could leave early back to Atlanta before rush hour traffic.
We said our good-byes, which is always so hard, and then Jehkiah drove Dad and I back to
Atlanta airport. It was so sad to have to part. We spent some time together at the airport
before going through the security check. Then, said our goodbyes and
flew home.</div>
</span><br />

Instead of sending Jayden off to Utah and the MTC from Pasco, we drove him down so we could spend some quality time together. Quality it was! We left Saturday late afternoon and made it to Boise where we checked into our new favorite "cheap night's sleep"...at the Sleep Inn. It was awesome. Bed's (and pillows) were great and the shower was warm. Even had a nice breakfast the following morning of scrambled eggs and biscuits with gravy. Can't beat that.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sunday, after breakfast we drove on down and stopped in Brigham City to take some pictures and see some sights before driving on up to the ski resort in Eden. The new temple is absolutely breathtaking. The town was all decked out for the holidays! It was fun to drive around and see all the different decorations.</div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Temple square was festive and the lights were beautiful. We loved walking around taking it all in. We were trying to capture moments in everything we did. Jayden wanted to eat lunch at the Lion House so we did that. It was fantastic! We went to Deseret Book and bought him Armenia scriptures and had them engraved. We didn't want the day to end. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">For dinner, we met up with Dad's old missionary companions, Rob Thompson and Steve Solberg and their wives at the Red Iquana. What a place!! The food was so amazing they had people lined up behind the block. Fortunately, they were there early and had a table waiting for us. Good times. (I ate a salad smothered in prawns...omg).</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">On our way back to the lodge, we met up with John's niece Stephanie and nephew, Kevin with his wife Melanie (and kids) at a convenience store. It was so much fun reconnecting with Steve's kids. Jennifer wasn't able to come but her husband, Dave brought the kids to meet us. So fun!! They are so awesome. We committed to not let so many years go by before we visited again. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Tuesday, we got a late start because it snowed overnight and it was an icy commute into Salt Lake but well worth the effort. We did a session at the Salt Lake Temple. Neither Jayden nor I had ever been so it was powerful to say the least. Afterward, we walked around temple square again, taking in the visitor's centers and talking to several of the Sister Missionaries: getting Jayden all excited about his adventure! We ended our evening visiting with our good friend, Lucy! (which I didn't get pictures of, darn it!)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">I cannot express in words the ache and void that filled our hearts as we stood across the street of the MTC (missionary training center) while we said our goodbyes. Jayden was strong, and kept his parents from falling totally apart :) So like him... We love him so much and are so proud of the choice he's made to go and serve the Lord in the great country of Armenia. We pulled it together long enough to send him off, then John drove around the building and parked the car where we sobbed our hearts out. We cried all the way home and for three days after, literally mourning over the separation. As time moves on, we're learning to celebrate the beautiful man he's become. Carry on Elder Cornett!!</span></div>

The Olsen's joined us, which was so great. Of course, the food was spectacular and filling. Our hearts were a little heavy as the impending trip loomed ahead. Time with Jayden was coming to a close and we felt the emotions. Good memories...<br />

Another "last". A big thanks to Karen who was able to score our accommodations from her boss! It was an awesome room! We stayed at the Inn at Cannon Beach and our room was connected by a porch to Karen and Travis'. They were beautiful and nearly new; had two awesome queens, a fireplace and an enormous bathroom. Colby bunked with us so he didn't have to sleep on the floor:) We had a complimentary breakfast each morning and could even rent videos.<br />

John, Jayden, Shyane and I left Thursday afternoon and stayed in Longview so we didn't have to do our heavy traveling on Friday, which left more play time. We took our time and toured a little of Longview, and then drove over to Long Beach so we could check out the town, shops and museum. Karen and Travis met us there when they got into town. Of course, we had to sample some scrumptious homemade clam chowder.<br />

On the way over to Astoria, we went through Ilwaco ~ a little city of about 950 that sits on the Long Beach Peninsula. There are fishing charters and a processing business right on the bay. Hence, the photos of John's dream job. Afterward, we went to Astoria where we had to get our pictures taken at the "Goonies" house!<br />

The weekend consisted of shopping, playing at the beach, eating lots of fun food and spending time together. It was a good time to capture these memories in our hearts. Saturday afternoon we drove on down to Oswald State Park where John proposed to me back in 1994 and played on the beach there. At night, we dropped the kids off at the Fun Center in Seaside and the adults had a wonderful dinner at McKeown's Restaurant down the street. The food was fabulous and it was a time to relax, reflect and be grateful.<br />

There seemed to be a lot of emotions during this weekend. I know for me personally, I was trying to hold Jayden close, to remember everything we were doing so that I can draw on these memories when he's gone.Katrinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05235420759592161183noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9211200942119936355.post-2494114385214578682013-09-18T18:43:00.002-07:002014-01-17T10:04:23.448-08:00Camping at Jubilee Lake <div style="text-align: center;">
We're doing a lot of "lasts" before Jayden heads off on his mission. We wanted to get a camping trip in so we headed down to Jubilee with Karen, Travis and the kids where we're guarnteed to catch fish...which we did. We snagged over 50 trout! Weather was beautiful and it was so relaxing. </div>

On the way home we ran into a horrendous storm that forced us to hide behind a large warehouse in Pendleton until the winds died down. We had 70 mph winds that nearly ripped our canoe off the truck! It was crazy. By the time we reached Umatilla we were on empty and pulled in to get gas. Unfortunately, there was no power anywhere so...no gas. We said a little prayer and drove 30 miles on an empty tank and made it. The Lord is always watching over us.<br />

Dad, Jayden and I drove up to Ruth Ann and Bill's for a relaxing weekend and had a blast! They have a beautiful cabin on the north fork of the Coerd' Alene River, heading into the Bitterroot Mountains and Montana. It's amazing country. We arrived late Friday and enjoyed a scrumptious chicken dinner around the campfire. Saturday we bummed around the area for awhile checking out the sites, plants and St. John's Wort...(we enjoyed the little buzz we were getting picking them wild). Later in the day, we hopped onto the ATV's and headed up above the timberline, going into Montant. We happened upon a pile of fresh Grizzly scat filled with berries. We saw some glacial lakes on the way too. In one direction, we look off toward the Selkirk Mountains. In another, the Cabinet Range. Fall is already creeping in. On Sunday, we took a drive over to the Ancient Cedar Groves. We topped off our weekend target shooting with Bill's crossbow and had a moose venture into our camp. Wonderful memories!!</div>

On top of graduation, planning girls camp and preparing kids for Pioneer Trek...I rescued two birds this spring: a Finch and a Starling. Although Starlings are obnoxious little creatures, it was an amazing experience taking this day old "pterodactyl" and nursing it to maturity. I'm literally having to teach it to fly and eat on its own, which is not easy! It knows when I enter a room because it squawks like it hasn't eaten in a year (kind of like a teenager at this point). He thinks I'm his mommy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our beautiful mourning dove, Marlee helped with our Finch by feeding it and prompting it to fly. When put side by side in the cage, our dove would wrap its wing around the Finch and coo.<br />

My boy has reached a huge milestone in his life...his high school graduation! It's bittersweet; knowing that he's a step away from independence and leaving the nest, and the thrill of seeing all that Dad and I have invested. Jayden is an amazing young man who's well on his way to becoming a magnificent missionary, devoted husband and father! We are so excited for him.</div>

After all the hoopla, we celebrated CBC's graduation rather quietly in June with just Dad & I, Karen and the kids. We're so proud of our son ~ graduating from high school with his AA Degree. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Quite an achievement!!!</div>

There's always been an excuse; a reason not to go but this year we put those excuses aside and set a goal!!! Part of that goal was having the trip paid for ~ in cash ~ before we went, which we did. We even came home with some money!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We left early morning February 4th (we're talking 5 a.m.) and arrived at the hotel by 1 p.m. We were blessed with good weather, a descent hotel right across from the park and good walking shoes!! We set out Monday afternoon to tour Downtown Disney, and some of the souvenir shops around the area. For dinner (or late lunch), we went to Bubba Gumps Shrimp Co. It was awesome. We were like little kids, so caught up in the thrill of it all. Early Tuesday morning we were up and ready to go. Our first day into the park was magical to say the least. I felt like a little girl. We went on every ride, my favorite being Space Mountain and Tower of Terror for high intensity. But I loved them all, except California Screamin' and the Ferris Wheel. I wouldn't go on either of those! We had 3-day Hopper Passes so we could hop between Disneyland and California Adventures ~ which we did. For four days we walked, ate, shopped and marveled at all the exciting things around us.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">One of the days we were there, we were stopped by a man promoting Worldmark /Wyndham vacations. We agreed to sit in on a presentation the following morning and ended up signing a contract! How spontaneous is that? John felt strongly that it's something we should do (I had my apprehensions, as I always do when it comes to money) and I gave in, trusting in his impressions. So, now we'll be travelling during the slow times and sharing the extra with our kids. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">We've been trusting in the law of the harvest (or attraction, however you want to view it) so I'm not entertaining doubts whatsoever! The Lord will see us through as he has throughout our marriage.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">To put this "law" to test, we had an awesome experience on our final few hours of our vacation. Each time we went to stand in line for the Cars ride there was an hour or more of waiting time. This time, however we saw people walking the other direction so we went right up to the front to ask what was going on. Apparently, the ride was out of operation; it had broken down. There was still a line (about 30 min. wait) so we made our choice, trusting that things would be repaired in a timely manner. They were...and we were able to get on that ride. It was so worth the wait and was exhilarating!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>Friday, we picked up Mackenzie and Colby to take them up to Bonner's Ferry with us for the weekend. We had such a great time. Braden had his baptism Saturday evening and it was so nice. Papa John (Cornett) spoke on Baptism and Grandpa John (Baisden) gave the talk on the Holy Ghost. Colby even gave the closing prayer. It was a great day for him. We love you Braden and are so happy you are part of this family! The rest of the weekend was spent playing outdoors.</i></span></div>

This year we booked the lodge at Camp Zarahemla near Mt. Rainier. We ended up having a "daughter's Christmas" as the boys were spending the holiday elsewhere. It was a magical time being in the mountains with the snow and the grand kids! Christmas eve we went sledding and hiked in a little to pick out our favorite tree. It was my favorite tree of all time as the girls made the ornaments and it was simply decorated. I think the kids had a blast playing together (although poor Vance was sick nearly the entire time). The girls made a scrumptious Christmas Eve dinner ~ pulled pork with tortilla's...yum! After dark, we took the kids outside to sing Christmas carols and spread reindeer food on the snow ~ our tradition with Jayden. Christmas morning we opened gifts. It's always so fun to see creative minds at work. All of our gifts were homemade! I love the dessert plate and apron Shawnte' made for me, and Grandpa got a knife display box from Cameron that is just beautiful! Owen put together a binder of favorite talks and thoughts for Jayden which was so special, especially now that he's preparing for his mission. (They also bought him luggage for his mission...way cool). Travis worked so hard in the kitchen preparing a prime rib dinner that was out of this world! It was just fun being together and living in the moment, although several of us were fighting being sick! Seasonal illnesses can't be controlled~it's so frustrating. Christmas night, after the kids went to bed, the big kids played games and enjoyed our final night together. I'm so grateful we made time to be together. I mustn't forget to mention that we brought Marlee, our Mourning Dove who was in heaven and pretty much stayed connected to Dad the whole time.Katrinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05235420759592161183noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9211200942119936355.post-58349333083725977832012-11-18T14:15:00.000-08:002014-07-05T14:17:51.889-07:00Bricen's Blessing<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We were so blessed to have little Bricen blessed in our ward. We decided to do it this weekend while the family was up for Jayden's Eagle. Good memories!</div>
