Yes, I enjoy playing Words with Friends.  This is what came up one day when I was doing one of the challenges.  I did not change the order of the letters.  They appeared this way when I opened the app.
 Could this grin be any cheesier?

 Those fingers sure taste good.

This is just a reminder of why I do family history research.

Another assignment for my class.  We got a free pass on this one too, but I wanted to do it anyway.   It may be difficult to read, but it’s basically four generations of my family starting with me.  I had a lot of help with this since most of it was done by other people, but I did have to fill in the names.  


Life Goals

As part of the assignment we are to post some goals we have for the future.  We were already given credit for this assignment because it falls about the time of General Conference.  I wanted to do it anyway I think this is an easier task when a person is younger and has their whole life ahead of them.  These goals were not to be family history or temple goals, but mine are related to both of those topics.  One goal I have I share with my husband.  To be honest it's more his goal than mine, but since we're in this partnership together I have made it mine too.  He wants to serve a mission when he retires.  He hopes to have that happen in the next five to ten years.  I'm willing to go, but I will request it to be a genealogy mission.  I know that doesn't mean that's what we'll get, but I can at least try right?  Another goal I have is to graduate with my AAS in Family History.  I plan to finish with school about the same time that my husband plans to retire so it works out great.

 Joe and I with Bekah and Matt Heintz outside the Kansas City, Missouri Temple.  Bekah and Matt were on spring break and wanted to do some temple work so we went together.

 Nana braiding CTR Senior's hair. For those who don't know, my daughter Linda and her husband have named all of their kids so far with names that will give them the initials CTR which those in the LDS faith know stands for "choose the right".  It's a way to help them remember to follow the Savior.
