Utah

Dear Utah,
Your weather has been stupendous the last week. I have much enjoyed being able to wear shorts and sandals. I cannot wait until that type of weather is here to stay (right now it's snowing)! This summer you and I will become best pals. You see, I'll be spending my summer in Utah as I have recently been hired by the Church Custodial Department. I'm excited that I finally have a real job, but I'm sad that I won't be with all my friends over the summer in your neighbor state, Arizona. But, I'll be able to make much needed money for fall semester as well as my summer vacation plans for summer of 2013. So, Utah, please be kind to me this summer!
Much love,
Morgan

Ward Splits ans School

Oh school, I do not know what to do with you. I am at your building 6 days a week not to mention the 4 hours there not during school hours the week days. Then my homework follows me home, when  I finally get a breathing moment the subject we are talking about pops up in a TV show, reminding me to finish my homework! It never leaves!

Okay, so this is my first time in all 14 1/2 years of my life that I am not in Chandler Heights Ward. I also do not have Sadie Deem, my BFF since pre-school. But all is well At least I still have most of my Besties :) I am now in a new ward called Centennial. the Bishop is Brother (now Bishop) Graph, 1st counselor- Doug Greer, 2nd Counselor- Widd Workman! It is such a great Bishopric! I am excited, but worried I will loose Sister Workman as my YW Leader. It will all be fine, I just need to embrace the change and say "I will" with a willing heart!

Somebody's Got To

This blog is sadly neglected. I admit, I use it mostly as a portal to get to other blogs that I've been too lazy to actually add to mine. So, I decided that somebody's got to post something. I didn't think any of you would mind getting a good look at our handsome boys. Above is Benson rockin' out at one end of the hallway. Below is Brady at the other end showing us his excellent summersault form.

And here is the little sweetie in his beautiful Sunday suit that we got from Aunt LeNell. Dashing, I know.

(and you gotta love the bare feet)

Oh, it is love!

This one fine weekend Mom,  Lyn, B-dell, Stokes, and M-face took a loooong drive to LA. Now, when I say loooooong I mean loooooooong as in L. O. N. G. long. Yes, it took 12 hours... lets just say that you should only go to LA if you have 20 maps of the place. Lyn was pretty ridiculous, yet B-dell still was able to make her laugh and smile...once we reached the condo. Even after seeing her be ridiculous, B-dell proposed. She said "yes." He said "really?" And so, White Christmas in Mesa? Pretty much.

Larry

I woke up this morning at about 9:30 and everybody was still asleep. I couldn't figure out what to do until they woke up. So I went and turned the TV on while I looked through my merit badges that I have mostly done. There wasn't anything on, so I ended up on a random show and I was looking through my merit badges. When I was done, I went through what channels we get about a million times. I was wondering why I wasn't hearing any noise. It was 11:40!!! Turns out, nobody was home. There was a note on the counter, but I didn't see it. I got very bored, so I started making a bird out of the play-doh I got for my birthday. If I am bored and you give me something constructive, it will be very detailed. Especially when I'm that bored. I haven't been that bored in forever. I gave him feathers. It's great. I had fun. I named him Larry. He's pretty great. I haven't had a chance to talk to him. We went to look at a house right as I finished. I know he's great, though. I mean, he's play-doh, how could he not be?

Caps Off to the Graduates

We had several Heywood graduates celebrating this year! Morgan and Bethany from high school, Bethany, Kristalyn, and Liz from college! Way to go everybody! (Liz may not be in the picture, but she certainly deserves celebration!!)

These caps are in celebration of the graduates:

• Teal & Black - Morgan's Hawk; doubles as Liz's blue for BYU
• Yellow & Black - Bethany's Wasp
• Maroon & Gold - Kristalyn's Sun Devil

Mom/Aunt Linda was a genius for creating these desserts! Not only were they absolutely adorable and so festive, but they tasted delicious, to boot!

Congrats grads! Best wishes as we proceed on to the next step!! :)
