Hey Elder!
Thanks for your email last week.
It's always great to hear from you. I'll keep this email short since I
know you don't have a lot of time.
Cam and Allie's
wedding was really fun. It was a great day. Cam's family was really
nice and his dad and brothers offered to help clean up after the
reception, which was nice. Mom's cake bites were awesome! Me and Liz and
Mark all helped gather presents from the guests and put them in one
place. We also took care of decorating Cam and Allie's car. :) Mwah ha
ha. Mark and Clint sprayed Cam's car with silly string and me and Liz
wrote all over it and tied streamers to it everywhere. Dad wrote on the
windshield "Cam loves Kobe" and "Kobe stinks" or something like that. We
took a bunch of pictures by your cardboard cut-out, too. Haha.
Anyway, phew! They're married now. We all had dinner at
Mom and Dad's last night and played badminton and it was fun to see how
the family's growing. It'll be really fun when you get home Kenny.
You'll love Cam and Mark - they're great and the family has gotten even
funner with them in it. Cam and Allie actually left Mom and Dad's house
before me and Clint, which was weird but kinda nice. Clint and I are
used to being the only ones who have to drive there and then leave so it
was kinda nice to feel like we're not the only ones who leave at the
end of the night.
Now we're all getting excited for Liz and Mark. I'll probably do Liz's hair and makeup this Saturday for her bridals.
Clint
and I babysat for Clint's brother Brian and wife Annie this last week.
They went to Denver to get away for a couple days and we babysat their 3
kids from Friday night at about 6 pm until Saturday at 4 pm when their
parents got back. We had Avie, 7, Eliza, 4, and Maxwell, 1. So it was
kinda a handful to keep them happy and fed and get their nap times and
diaper changes and what not. But I think the kids had fun. They love to
play with Clint. And I think we handled them ok. :) I had fun coloring
with Avie and holding Maxwell in the pool (we went swimming for a little
bit).
Anyway, we're still working hard at our jobs and our
callings and running and what not. Clint surprised me this morning by
waking up early, almost at the same time as me. I still get up at 5 am
on most days. We went for a 4-mile run together and I just tried to keep
up with Clint even though I was tired. It was nice to have a running
buddy. I've actually discovered that I really like being outside in the
mornings and hearing the birds chirp and seeing the sun rise. I never
thought I'd EVER be such an early morning person, but there ya go. I
guess I am now!
Oh, by the way, I added another movie to your
"must-see" list: Men In Black 3. Me and Clint really liked it. It had
some good action and it was funny. I bet you'll like it. :)
Well, I WAS trying to keep the email short but I had one more thing
to tell you about. On Sunday I helped teach a lesson to all the
combined young women about keeping personal records. Mom gave me a bunch
of records and stories, including Great Grandma Spencer, Claron
Spencer, and a few more all the way back to Daniel Spencer, our ancestor
who knew the prophet Joseph and trekked across the plains to good old
SLC. I'm going to Trek in memory of him next week. NEXT WEEK! Gah, oh my
gosh, Trek is NEXT WEEK ALREADY! We still have so much to do. But
anyway, I shared some stories of my ancestors with the YW and encouraged
them to find some inspirational stories and keep good personal records
of themselves. I think it went pretty good. I found some cool stories of
our ancestors so I was pretty thrilled that the lesson started me
looking into it.
Phew! Sorry this email got so long! I hope you can print it out and read it.
We just really love you Kenny and keep you in our prayers. Take care. :)
Love,
Sam (and Clint)
