The Holidays were filled with lots of fun and traveling this year. We had a wonderful Christmas. I got my beautiful Chris Madden serveware and lots of other fun things... and the hubby got his iPad. When he opened it he thought it was a joke, haha. I immediately said, "Merry Christmas, Happy Birthday, and Happy Graduation." We love our iPad.After spending Christmas in Utah we drove up to John Day, Oregon on New Year's Eve to visit my Great-Grandma West. Mom was born in John Day and as a family we used to visit the beautiful, little town each summer. Grandpa Joe (Mom's Dad) passed away a few years ago. I haven't visited John Day for 5 or 6 years!! It was definitely time for a visit. Luckily, my sweet husband suggested we go before the wedding. Grandma West is timeless. She is in her 90's and still sharp and beautiful. It was so good to be with her. We love you Grandma West!
While in John Day we stayed at my great uncle's cottage. We felt like royalty!
After a relaxing weekend in John Day we headed to Eugene for the wedding! Yay!! I was so happy to be with my family. We all stayed in a beautiful home and enjoyed each other's company... food, games, movies, sleeping... bliss.
Congrats to Joey & Julie Hogge! They were married on January 4th in the Portland, Oregon Temple. Yay for weddings and eternity!
