Things have been busy in our lives as they are for everyone. We drove to St. George two weekends ago to be with family there and then back up to Draper for a military event. Last week we took a quick trip to Rexburg ID for the wedding reception of our daughter-in-law’s sister. We were more inclined to go when we heard that Emily was traveling clear over from Finland to be there. It was great to see the family again. It has been a few years since we have seen them. We spent time with Melodie also and got to skype with Kristen at home for a while. We were very blessed that the snow we saw in the morning on our way to the temple was gone and we didn’t have to drive in it on the way home that afternoon and evening. It is snowing right now outside the door but fortunately this weekend we don’t have any plans for travel anywhere that is too far away other than to SLC for Tab Choir on Sunday. We are looking forward to Thanksgiving next week. This week we will celebrate twice; witn Mom’s family on Thursday and with my family on Saturday. We take turns, and my family meets every year regardless of whether it is actually on Thanksgiving Day or the following Saturday.
We heard on the news today that Nordstrom is closing its Orem University Mall store next February, citing that the sales expectations had never been met by the store. We are saddened that there will be nearly 200 employees affected by this closure and hope that they will find other employment qukckly.
