Gwen's Star Raising

I worked very hard on a video for Gwen's Star Raising

at Make - A - Wish.

Thought you might enjoy it!

Wonderful News!

 Ben and Alyse just announced 
they are going to have a baby!

That means we are going to be Grandparents!

Ben also found out that he will be doing his residency 

at Duke in North Carolina!

That's a lot of wonderful news!!!

Pretty close to Blind!

Blake had been complaining

that his vision was blurry.

I was slow about getting him an appointment,

but this week he saw the ophthalmologist.

It was surprising to find out that Blake's vision is

20/70 in one eye and 20/200 in the other!

So now Blake is sporting 

some very hipster new glasses!

(And he loves being able to see!)

33 years since we got engaged!

 Thirty three years ago Harold and I got engaged.

I had been "in love" with him since Jr. High.

We dated during high school and 

I wrote him while he was on his mission.

When he got home in December 1979 
we started dating again.

FINALLY on March 6, 1981 Harold proposed! 

Harold is always very thoughtful and 
never forgets this anniversary.

This year he got me roses!

I really have a wonderful husband.

Jr. Jazz Basketball for Blake

 Blake loves playing basketball!  

I think it is his favorite sport to participate in!

Sometimes he will go to the gym and just play by himself!

 

 

 When someone enjoys something so much,

it is a pleasure to watch them!

Woodworking Ben

Between interviews for residencies,

Ben had some free time and did some wood projects.

He is getting pretty talented with his scroll saw!

Here are some of his projects:

 Gorilla puzzle 

 Pumpkins for Alyse and her friends to decorate

A Table

And Ben's most recent project

The symbol for Medicine

He made them for some of his close medical school friends.

Men of Sparta or MOS

This weekend was the MOS Dance.

The theme was "Thrift Shop."

Blake and his date Katie went shopping together at the D.I.

 Blake already had this fantastic suit which

he and his brothers inherited from Grandpa Great.

I think they make a pretty good looking couple!
