We had a lovely weekend in early December. It started with a call from Taisley telling me she has been
accepted to study at SUU (in Cedar City) AND to Dixie State University (in St. George) where they offered her a $6000 scholarship ($750 a semester – about 30% of the cost of tuition for 4 years). “I was so excited
to share the news with you, Grandma.”
The following morning we drove to Cedar City and completed a dozen sealings before leaving for Ogden
where Kelly had arranged a “mystery trip” for us. We found out later it was tickets to see A Christmas
Carol at a nearby community theater. What a fun evening, followed Saturday morning by Christmas
shopping with Kelly.
Later in the afternoon we drove to Spanish Fork where we took up residence at Michael and Jessica’s house.There was hugs, kisses and a riotous game of Scattergories with the kids before leaving for Jessica’s choir
performance of Benjamin Britt’s “A Ceremony of Carols.”
What a lovely weekend … made even better when everyone invited us to stay longer. It is such a
remarkable experience to see family members succeed and to feel welcome in the homes of our
children.
