Rancho Sierra Vista

We got up early Wednesday morning, like 4:00 a.m. to drive to a doctors appointment for dad in Flagstaff. We got their on time and he got seen immediately. His eye is doing better and if we have no other problems then we can see the doctore in six months. There is some scaring, but the eye (s) are looking better. We then drove to Manti, Utah for the wedding of my nephews daughter. It took us all day to get there, with a stop here and there for lunch or hot chocolate. We even stopped at the big rock candy mountain just to check out how it had changed in fifty years.

We got to Manti, checked into a motel bought pizza and fell into bed. We got up and dressed and went to the temple. It is always fun for me to see family and friends. Having lived my whole life away from family has been hard, but when we can see each other for whatever the reason its always good.

Whitney and Chris were sealed by his grandfather and it was a very special event.

We drove to Provo to collect things on our shopping lists, living on the rez you make lots of lists for the time when you might hit a city that actually has stores in it. We attended the brunch held at Noah’s near the point of the mountain. It was nice.

We delivered Rebecca’s gifts to James, he had mentioned he might come to the rez, but didn’t so we delivered to him. We picked up a manual to teach Family relations class in Many Farms in the new year and headed back to Noah’s for the reception.

Kimberly and John and Erin met us there. We got to visit and enjoy their company. It is always nice to hear how my children are doing and actually see that what they are telling me is basically true. I always worry about everyone, whether or not they need me to. Its just part of my job as mother, and it never ends no matter how old they get.

We drove to Moab after bidding our children good bye and spent the night and then got up the next morning and came back to the rez to return to our assignments.
