Our Alaska Cruise!!!

We had the most fun this summer in August when we had the trip of a life time!! We went on an Alaska Cruise with our 3 married children and their spouses. It was WONDERFUL!! We got the opportunity to do this because of our PREMIER TOURS company and having 36 people who wanted to cruise with us. That has been such a wonderful thing for us because of all of the people who love to travel with us from our CHURCH HISTORY TOURS. They have such fun that they want us to do other travel and we love to do it. CHECK OUT OUR NEW BLOG FOR OUR TRAVEL .......premiertours.blogspot.com. I'm still working on getting it all set up, but it will be a fun place to hear about our trips, and what we've got coming up.

Anyway, back to the Alaska Cruise! It was super in every way and so many great memories made from it. We had a fabulous time and had great food, great entertainment, great shore excursions, beautiful scenery all the way, and just fun being together. It will be a lifetime memory for all of us. The guys got into playing shuffleboard and they had so much fun doing that. The girls enjoyed relaxing, relaxing, and relaxing some more! We especiallly enjoyed all of the wonderful food!!! Non stop eating on cruises...and that's what we were good at.

Devin Teaching Seminary

Well, the first thing I need to catch up on is the experience we had going to watch DEVIN teach SEMINARY at Timp View High School. It was so fun! We went up for the day for Gordon's work Christmas party and made it in time to go watch Devin teach one of his classes. It it was great to see him at work and his great way with the kids and the way that they responded to him and liked him so much. He taught a great lesson and the kids were very responsive. Seminary teaching sure was a great experience for Devin. He loved it. As an update however, he wasn't chosen to come back and teach after the Christmas Holidays. They are eliminating down and he didn't make the cut. He said a lot of it was probably because he wasn't married yet and he can't be hired by the seminary program if he's not married. Well, he took it really well and is giving this last semester at BYU his all and is doing really good with his classes and grades and is awaiting a decision about where he'll be invited to attend grad school in Audiology. So GOOD LUCK Devin and WE'RE ALL CHEERING FOR YOU!!!
