Farewell luncheon

Today I invited the two ladies Silvia and I go visiting teaching to say good bye to Jeana Hill and to celebrate Caroline Taylor's birthday. She was the Bishop's wife too. This is a bitter sweet day for her so it was a good thing we got to spend some time together. The manu included soup, bread, pupusas, empanadas, spring rolls, fruit, lime pie. I also made a fruit drink.

Temple day

It was temple day today for our ward. I went to a session where three of our sisters got their endowments and this lovely couple got married. He is from the Pacific Islands who served a mission here and is now a celebrity. She is Filipina. They were sealed by Elder Ardern.

Trip to Cebu

We went to Cebu, Philippines. It was my first time there. The city is famous for its mangos, pork and Lapulapu.

We were there to attend a mission Presidents seminar from May 17th to the 20th. It was the last seminar Elder Aardern would attend. He will start another assignment in Utah on Auguts 1st.

Mother's day in Orlando

I love Mother's day this year because I was able to spend it with three amazing mothers. My mom, Liz and Mari. We had a nice time at a church event on Saturday and a sweet day on Sunday. We also went to see tia Norma who had surgery. I was in Orlando from May 7th to May 11 because I wanted to be there on May 10th when we celebrate this special day in El salvador and had the best food too! 

Girls reunion

This is my bestie, La Cha! We have known each other since our College years 1978- 1981 to be exact! Last night she had a reunion with our girls and their husbands and babies. Now we are both grandmothers and loving it!!

Graduation Day

This was a very memorable day for our family. May 6th 2016. I got up early to be at the Kingsbury Hall before 8:00 am but it was raining very hard and Paola and I got our hair wet after spending so much time doing our hair.

Mandy graduated in Biology and Spencer got his Masters in Statistics from the University of Utah. The Morrisons had a reception afterwards at their house. Our graduation present was an iPad. We spent all of that morning with both of our families and with our graduates. A proud day for me!

Paola moves out

Another plus of this trip was spending time with my only niece who is also my favorite :)

Playtime with Nora and Ruby

The best part about this trip was to spend time in  the City Creek apartment with Bianca and  the girls before we had to rent it out. Ruby and Norah are so stinking cute!
