BYU Parent's Weekend

There was no twisting of arms to convince Scott we should go to BYU in October for Parent's Weekend and visit Kennedy!  It had been less than 2 months since we dropped her off and we would see her one week later when she flew home for Will's baptism, but we still couldn't pass up this chance to see Kennedy in her new element.  BYU had activities scheduled for us from the minute we arrived until we said our good-byes.





We did campus and museum tours, a luau with Cosmo, a tailgate party with face-painting, prizes, food and the famous BYU acapella group "Vocal Point", and attended class with Kennedy.






 The weather was beautiful while we were there.  In fact, it was too hot!  We went to the BYU football game with Kennedy's room mate, Alyssa, and her parents.  The game was a blow out and we were burning up so we took off a little early.  But not before we got some video footage of Scott trying to support his daughter by singing the fight song of his Alma Mater's rival!







 Rah, Rah, Rah, Rah, Rah....Go Cougars!






 Our last night in Provo we went on a night-time series of zip lines up Provo Canyon.  That was fun!  It was quite a different experience zip lining in the dark, not knowing when to duck from branches or exactly when to brake.  Sunday came and it was time to say good-bye to Kennedy.  We had just enough time to attend sacrament meeting with her and then were off to the airport.  Saying good-bye is always easier when you know it is only for a week.  So, instead of "Good-bye", how about a "see you soon"?

Hauʻoli Lā Hānau Scott!

Heather sends us at least one vacation deal to look at each month. In September 2020 she showed us a sale on airfare to Hawaii over Scott's birthday. We had such a fun time there in January 2020 that it didn't take us long to commit and we booked airfare to Maui. We soon realized we couldn't find any affordable lodging in Maui that also offered free cancellation. Generous cancellation policies are definitely a must in these crazy COVID times. Heather found a good deal on lodging in Kauai so we changed our airfare from Maui to Kauai. Yes! Everything was finalized! Well that was until it was declared that all visitors to Hawaii would be required to show a negative COVID test, from one of their approved testing sites, to get off the plane in Hawaii. That was discouraging so we then changed our plans and flights to spend the week in Cancun. Finally we knew where we would be spending Scott's birthday week! Or not. With just a little over a week before our vacation date, the ...

So here is a look at our trip to Paris.  It might be more than most of you care to read!  I just copied and pasted emails we sent home while on our trip.  This is more for my benefit than anyone else's since this blog is the closest I have come to keeping a journal.  Hope you enjoy the journey- we sure did! View from our Seine River Cruise Day One We have the tiniest little room way up at the very top of a very narrow skinny hotel. It reminds us of the love dungeon (our first basement apartment) but it is up at the top so we called it our "love tower"! The bed is a double and you can only stand up straight in the room if you are standing on Scott's side of the bed! The tub is half size (I think they made it for Napoleon).  But I slept great. The weather was amazing! After getting in it was too early to get our room so we left our bags at the hotel and walked around for about an hour while waiting to meet up with the Parkers again. We were in the Plaza of San Mic...

Memorable highlights and sayings from 2007

January Highlight: Staying at our friends cabin up by Mt. St. Helens. Just a quick drive up the mountain and we had plenty of snow for sledding and great views of St. Helens. January Quote: Scott and I were in the car with Cassidy. I was complaining about how tired I had been. It didn't see m to matter if I slept 4 hours or 8 hours, I always felt tired. Cassidy who had been relatively quiet up till this point pipes up and says, "maybe you are going through menopause." Scot t and I started laughing and then Cassi dy admitted she didn't even know what that meant, she had just heard it in "F ather the Bride II". (by they way, we believe it is due to sleep apnea, not menopause!) February Highlight: Hosting two BYU Young Ambassadors in our home for a couple days while they performed in the Portland area. February Quote: A fter rushing to find Will's shoes before leaving to r un errands he tells me, "Befo re we go to heaven, we need to remember to put o...
