Homecoming...


Well, she has been home a week tomorrow, the time is flying almost as fast as it did while she was gone! We had a wonderful reunion at the airport and at dinner afterward. We took shoes from her room and had each grandchild tie a pair around their necks, so that they all "wore" her shoes! She had a necklace of shoes when she was done! (Curt's idea) She had told them all that they could wear her clothes, but not touch her shoes!!! She looked so great coming down that escalator!
On Saturday we had a dinner at the ranch for her. We had family and friends there to visit and eat and just have fun. It was wonderful!
We went to Logan on Monday and got her tuition paid to go to school. She actually got a job when she went to the airport, so that was good. A little spending money for her new truck! (gas is an expense!!!) She is adjusted and ready for life!
It is sooo good to have her here. I missed having her sing in church by me, I realized a lot of things I have missed, just by having her home again!
A sad note... the day we went to pick her up, someone robbed us at the ranch. They took a four wheeler, some generators, the welder, a torch some tools and probably things we don't know about yet. I have to say, the Malad City Sherriffs office is working hard to get it stopped and get our things back. They are doing good and have some leads. I just hate it that people seem to think they are entitled to take whatever they want. I hope they get caught and they learn to knock it off!

Hi again Karen, so nice to read you have your daughter home.
I have enjoyed reading about you and the family. Hope your sherrif gets the bad guys too. There always seems to be someone just waiting to spoil things for others. The thing is though that you have something they can never take and that is morals, ethics and a great family. Keep your chin up and keep up the good work. Best wishes from Sonia in Western Australia.
