It's Time to Catch Up, so Here is What Happened in September 2025

 I got invited to a dinner that was hosted by the wives of our Stake Presidency. They invited all of the wives of Bishops serving from the Stake and since Danny was the YSA Bishop, they invited me to join with them. The food was good and it was a nice opportunity to get to know some of the sisters in our Stake. It was nice of them to include me. And they gave us these beautiful bouquets after the dinner. 

I went to a puzzle night with a few of my friends that I have met from the group that I play volleyball with. It was fun to have a night of fun conversation and puzzling.

Ashely and I went to a play at the new Theater they opened recently in Pleasant Grove. I knew nothing about this play, except that I had heard it was pretty funny. I was pleasantly surprised to find out it was a musical after it started. And it was indeed very funny. I think that I took Ashley with me because Danny was at Tyler's football game with him at the same time. But Ashley probably enjoys musicals more than Danny anyways, so it worked out.

Ashley and I love to go to sushi places together. She gets extended lunch every Wednesday, so we usually go to lunch together that day. But we can only do sushi when her friends don't tag along with us. We must have snuck away this day without telling them. Our go-to sushi restaurant closed down, so we tried this place for the first time. It was pretty good. We were eating lunch here at the very same moment that Charlie Kirk was assassinated. We didn't hear about it until later, but this picture reminds me of the heavy feelings of that day.

Tyler and Camden got to go swim with their cousins at the pool in their condo complex. They had a lot of fun.

Danny's parents got a lot of peaches on their tree this summer. They didn't know what to do with them, so they shared a bunch of them with us. And then they shared even more after the first few bags. We ate a lot of them, and we froze the rest. The skins came off of them so easily. We have been using them in smoothies all winter long.

Camden had a Stake primary activity where they went over the 4 categories for the children and youth goal setting program. We had to go late because he had a flag football game at the same time. But I think he had fun for the time that he was there.
