Update on the Family

Update on the family
I haven’t been very good at blogging lately. Usually that is either a good sign or a bad sign. In this case it is a good sign. Everything is going well and we are gearing up for some big events. Here is an overview:
25th Anniversary; Dave and I are in the Caribbean celebrating our 25th. Today we went to Costa Rica and tomorrow we go through the Panama canal. We will also see Bonire, Aruba and stop at the Bahamas
on the way back. I will try to post about the ports as we go.
Bryan is coming home: We are very excited that in only 15 days our son Bryan will be coming home from Ukraine where he is serving a mission. We are anxious to see him after 2 years and also anxious to hear about all of his adventures.
Sealing the boys: After Bryan gets home we are going to all go to the temple and have the boys sealed to us. We are all excited to make them a forever part of our family. Vitaliy even put on his Christmas wish list that he wants to be sealed to us. Ahh.
Devin’s mission call: Devin can turn in his papers on Dec 30. We can’t wait to see where he is going to go. What a fun time of life this is.
Scott’s baptism: The last of our kids will soon be accountable and be baptized. We are excited to share that wonderful experience with him.
When I told my sister about all that we have coming up she said “Your life would be pretty boring if you weren’t Mormon.” So True. So many blessings and happy times to enjoy thanks to the Gospel.
PLUS…. We just got a text from Tyler and he said that he is ENGAGED!!!! We are so thrilled. We hope it is really true. We can’t talk to him by phone on the ship but we are trying to text him back. We don’t know the date etc. His fiancé’ is absolutely amazing and we could not have picked out a better spouse for him if we had looked for a million years. CONGRATS Ty and Janalee.
