Hello All!
We love being married and living together has been really fun! I am waiting until my hope chest finally gets moved in and then I will try to post another virtual tour so that everyone can see the place when it is moved into and beautifully decorated! :)
We can't be happier with our new family ward and look forward to receiving callings. Yesterday we met with our new bishop and he gave me the heads up that he might call me into the Primary as a Music Specialist, how fun!!!
We have enjoyed putting together our first family home evenings! This last Monday I taught a lesson on President Monson's Hallmarks of a Happy Home and Jon got out his handy dandy laptop and laid out a monthly budget for us.
Yesterday morning I received a call from my family saying that my great grandmother was in the hospital on life support and would pass away within the next couple of days. This was a shock to me as just less than two weeks ago she was at our reception/family dinner chatting away and hugging everyone. Probably one of the most special parts of that reception day was when she presented Jon and I with our wonderful down comforter and cover, an exspensive item on our list that we were sure no one would purchase. This picture was taken just moments after she gave us that comforter.
So Jon and I might be making an emergency trip to Boise this weekend to attend her funeral. But here is the wonderful news. My family has decided that Jon and I will be the ones to do her temple work and to seal her and her husband together!!! Although my heart aches to lose a grandparent that I was so close to growing up, I am so excited for what is to come.
There is the update, we will keep you posted!
