August Adventures

One of the most thoughtful and encouraging gifts I've ever received, from my dear Tiffany.  This is a picture of one of our morning runs up a hill (with a cool saying on the back made into an awesome pillow).  When it was a tough run, I'd say..."I love this hill!"  Amazing how much easier the run became.  What a beautiful reminder and life lesson.  How I miss running with my Tiff~
So glad Wades came out for a weekend trip so we could run together again.
Has there ever been a more excited high school junior for the first day of school?!!
School 2 weeks delayed - 2 days in person and 3 days virtual each week.
Dual enrollment at Clayton State - 1 class online and the other hybrid.
Will he ever go back full-time to school?
Kurt home for a few days to play.  Jeff's first Deacon's presidency zoom meeting - oh the dress perks:). Nick finishing up packing his room which is now Justins.  Cool gun activity from Felix for all the youth.  Brandon's beautiful lantana in full bloom (started so tiny in 2015 and moved to a different spot because it got so big - I love this plant!)
What high school teacher shows up on your doorstep to give our high school graduate a cool t-shirt from spring gala that never was.
Thank you Hannah Beth Lee ~ beyond thoughtful.
Youth Swim Activities - love all these cute kids in our pool!
Realizing that these dang peanut butter balls are really not that good.
Cute college brothers on their first shooting adventure in Logan together.
Jeff's Facebook post on August 28:
"Getting older but getting stronger 💪.   Hit a new personal record on deadlift today.  But that's really not what this post is about.  The other day during personal scripture study a phrase came into my mind.  "Immersion brings forth conversation".  In other words loosing yourself in all areas of Christ's gospel is the only way we can truly become converted.  Just like strength training you must put in the effort for the results.  Our testimonies are no different.  Our testimonies are fragile at times and need constant effort or we begin, slowly to lose it.  I am so thankful for my testimony of our savior Jesus Christ.  It is my anchor that helps me from drifting to shallow reefs and other forbidden shores."
Finally back to church August 30th.
Congregation split in half and only 45 minutes, but we'll take anything at this point.  Jeff sat on the stand and remembered to raise the microphone most of the time;).  
Love having a set of elders and sisters in our ward!
Enjoy them coming often for lunch and singing too.
Russ' family meeting Sarah for the first time.
Abbie's finishing up her mission in Logan and went to
Kurt's work for her birthday lunch.  Yea for awesome cousins!
