My friend Robin taught me how to use my iPad better in blogging. Now we will see if I can implement it. In April Emily was in our local Distinguished Young Woman program. It was fun to watch those beautiful girls up on stage. L-R is Mirm Hollist, McKenna Grant, Emily and Tazie Hobbs. Fun girls and just so nice.
The next day we had family pictures done because Porter was going to Jerusalem for the summer to study at the BYU center and Nathan was leaving in May for his mission to Paraguay.
A week later we went to Salt Lake City to watch Hannah graduate from the LDS Business College.
In May Nathan left for the Argentina MTC. In July he arrived in Paraguay.
As part of going to state Distiguished Young Woman the girls have to do a service project. This year someone on the state board decided that they would gather shoes for the Shoes for Love project. The goal was 40,000 pairs of shoes....1,000 pairs per girl. That is a LOT of shoes. Emily did a fabulous job of harassing, I mean contacting people and our community was so supportive and generous that she reached the 1,000 pairs goal a bit early and decided to shoot for 2,000. She got that!! We had shoes EVERYWHERE. In the end she got 2,040. As a state the girls got 75,000. What an amazing thing they accomplished!
That is just a few things that have happened. I have NO idea how this is going to look when or if I am able to put this entry up. But I gave it a shot! And if it is successful it will be so much nicer to blog from my iPad. Especially because our home computer is dead and all I have is my iPad! Life is good and busy and full.
