February---2009

The month of love is coming to a close. I want tell of a few highlights. Some of us Hamptons got to go to Oak Glen one Saturday. We had a picnic and walked around in that beautiful countryside. Fresh air, beautiful skies, apple cider, and carmel apples!What could be better?
We had our monthly 1st Monday-group family night. It was led by Bradley---on Heavenly Fathers' creations. We loved it! thank you Bradley! On a sad note, my wonderful Aunt Joyce (my dad's sister) passed away. She was such a sweetheart---I want to be like her when I grow up. Dad and Vicky and I drove to Vegas to meet up with Kevin and fly to Utah for the funeral. It was a great to reconnect with family--it was really a precious time for me, I was so glad I was able to go. Rachel had her bridal shower. So many kind friends and family came to support her. We had a grand party with a crepe bar, a fun game--name that love song, we had a sweet video (thanks Gregg) of Zak telling "their" story and expressing so sweetly how he feels about her. She was so happy and grateful--- me too. I always have so much to be grateful for... the other wonderful event was our annual valentines' lunch. All of us Hampton women get together and have lunch and bring gifts to each other. We love being together. This year Rachel and Lauren and Jammie got to come for their first time. It was so great to be together! next month wedding news....coming soon...very soon..l..

My beautiful baby turns 22!

My Rachel Ann turned 22! I just have to say that she is a wonderful young woman----Strong, sweet, kind, gentle, loving, compassionate---beautiful on the inside and out! I am so excited
for her to go to the temple soon to receive her endowments and to be sealed to her wonderful
Zak. I have loved seeing her in love...confident and sure of her choice and her future---You should see her in her beautiful wedding dress! I am looking forward to seeing her and Zak kneeling at the altar---in my favorite place and being with my family in the temple to celebrate
their union...happening soon...
