Dear Family, Today is Election Day. Grandpa and I have been to vote. It is now 11:00. When we were there an hour ago over 200 people had already voted. I was so glad to hear that. I hope all of you have or will vote. It is important that we all do. It is our duty.
There is an editorial in the paper today that says " Students should learn to vote." After all it is your future and your money. It is your future that is being determined by leaders in Washington. It is your money that is being spent by leaders in Washington. I encourage all of you to read the papers, and watch the news. Get involved. Your vote counts.
Enough lecturing for now. As for news. Grandpa and I are about the same. We get older every day, but grateful that we have each other to care for. We are also grateful for a wonderful family that takes care of us. Kurt came down today to help Grandpa put the snow blower in the trunk so Grandpa could take it to be serviced. As he left I told him, with a wink, that we were just getting it ready for him.
We love having so many grandchildren in Provo at this time. I know we could call on any of them for help. It gives me a feeling of security. Thanks
Family News. Ryan is doing well at his CNA job in Orem. He likes it a lot and Erin says they like him a lot. Way to go Ryan. Kurt has an internship with Delotte-Touche accounting firm in Washington D C for the summer. He and Julie are looking forward to that. We enjoy having them live so close to us and in our ward. Jordan and Tara are getting close to their wedding da te. They are driving to Arizona on Friday. Tara will stay there as she is off track for three weeks. Jord will fly back until just before the wedding on the 20th. Tara drives to West Jordan every day to do her teaching. Allie is driving to Sanaquin every day for her Cohart. That is part of her training for teaching. It will only be for about 6 weeks. She will still have her student teaching to do. Alex says he is "keeping the wolf from the door." Andrea and Mike are doing well. Andrea is at R C Wileys. She has a cute Blog there. Mike is working hard at school and St Marks Hospi tal. He hopes to hear in about three weeks if he is accepted at West Minister Nursing Program. Good luck Mike. Stacie has stars in her eyes. Her friends name is Bennett and they are really cute together. Ethan is 16 tomorrow and getting ready to drive and date. He is a good boy. Preston had his broken are operated on two weeks ago and has done real well. I think he has to wear the cast about two more weeks. Erika reports(not too often) that they are doing fine in Iowa. She is really proud of Justin. He is doing well in school. Last I heard Brigham was thinking of going with his Dad's firm. Good move. Kirsti and Paul are consummed with the house they are remaking. They have a big year ahead of them. Charlotte has been in the hopital for several nights with Croup. It reminded me of when her Grandma Laurie was just about her age, she too had the croup. The doctor made a house call and then called me the next day to make sure she was doing okay. She was very sick. Hope Charlotte is doing better now.
Kamron is up to his ears in studying for his MBA class. Maren is very supportive. I think Lars and Kelli are fine. Posting keeps Kelli very busy and Lars enjoys his new job. Jill is busy with her Pre-school. She enjoys it. Karen is busy with her little family. Her baby is real cute. Doesn't look like the girls. No new news from Brett and Ericka. Billy is dating a darling girl. He is working at "Orange Soda". It is on line advertising(I think).
Rob is in Denmark with his work this week. He is always busy. I just heard this week that Scott is the Chairman of the Federal Reserve. I think that is for this district. Whatever it is a nice honor and more work. Marilyn is busy with school again. I think she is taking about 3 classes. Rick still gets a little golf in. Kathy is busy planning a long distance wedding and Alison keeps busy with her Relief Society Duties and boys football, tennis and soccor.
Pres. and Soro Lundberg and Joshua are still really busy in Romania. They have had ups and downs, but seem to continue on in the wonderful work they have been called to do.
There I am through for another 6 months. Love to all.

Thursday, June 3, 2010
I just looked at my blog and found out how out of date it is. Last year we celebrated our 60th wedding anniversary and I did blog about it. Next Tuesday we celebrate our 61st anniversary and I havn't blogged since last year.
As this has been a year with quite a few things happening in our lives I'll try to blog again. The only troouble is you all know all I know.
In January I had a new hip put in. Dr. Sorenson, my knee doctor, also did my hip. There was a little hang up as he broke my pelvic joint. I was in hospital three days and then in Stonebridge Rehab for one week. I feel like my complete recovery has been a little slow. It is my walking that is poor. I had a lot of TLC from all of my family and especially from Merrill.
Weddings really filled up most of our time last Fall. Brett and Ericka were wed in October, Alex and Allie in November and Andrea and Mike in December. Julie and Kurt tied the knot in April. They all seem to be doing fine. Brett and Ericka have puchased anew home in St. George. Both of them graduated from collage. Ericka with her associates degree, and Brett with his Masters. Alex and Allie are living in Provo. They both went to school winter semester. Allie also went Spring. Alex is working full time at the Provo RC Wiley store. Allie works a the health center. They have had a little bad luck. Their car was smashed up and Alex's bycicle was stolen. Andrea and Mike are doing great. Andrea is working at RC Willey and Mike is attending the U. He also works at ST. Marks Hospital. When they first got married they lived in Uncle Matthew's house, but it sold and now they live in an apartment near City Creek Park. Mike has a really busy schedule. Julie and Kurt made it to New York. T hey drove to
kentucky and then Kathy and Abbie drove them to NYC. I haven't heard how Julie's job is going or if Kurt got any work yet. Kathy said there apartment is clean and convenient. It is a studio apartment. What do you expect for $1000 dollars a month.
Weddings were not all that filled our days. More new babies joined our family in 2009. Penelope Morris, Parley Banks, Annika Jeppsen, and Trenton Lundberg brought joy and happiness to all of us. Then Carson Hymas and Claire Lundberg came in 2010. I hope I haven't missed anyone.
Lars and Kelli graduated from BYU. They are building a new home. Kelli is working for a dentist and Lars will be starting work for Medallion Bank in several weeks. Justin graduated from the U and is now in Podiatry school in Des Moines Iowa. Brigham as been clerking for a judge in Salt Lake. He and Kristen are also new home owners. Brigham will be looking for employment in a law office soon. Billy also graduated from BYU. He is going to stay in Provo and is employed and also looking at other opportunities. Greg graduates tomorrow from high school. He will be in Provo next year and will be attending UVU. Kurt was also accepted into the Masters of Accounting Program at BYU.
Jordan is also in Provo. He is in the accounting progam and working at the MTC. Jord also has a very lovely gilfiend, Tara. Billy calls him Mr. Provo.
Kamron Dalton has also been accepted in a BYU MBA program. He will d0 it in Salt Lake. Cristina also graduated with her Masters Degree. She and Brandon are trying to buy a house.
Ryan and Erin are planning a July wedding. Ryan took the CNA class and is preparing to take the CNA test.
Abbie, Ethan and Preston are three busy teenagers. Abbie and Ethan are both driving. Preston enjoys life playing baseball and he and Ethan both play tennis.
Rob made a job change in April. He left Lexmark and is now working for Termapudic Mattresses. Big change. Rick and Marilyn bought a lovely home in St. George.
Merrill and would like to be as we were when we were 70, but have decided that just insn't going to happen. We do appreciate all the joy and happiness you all bring into our lives. We still try to serve when ever possible. Merrill spoke in church on Easter Sunday and I spoke on Mother's Day. Wednesday still finds us at the JSMB and we visit teach and home teach. I also take care of the book club and sewing group. We are grateful for professional lawn care people and window washers. Love to all of you. Mom
