Teaching Patriotism

We Were There! 

Kind of

To witness History!

As Ayvri explained it: 

"The first time our President has black skin."

Brenden and Ayvri watched the inauguration on television from 8:oo a.m. to 10:30.

They made flags to stand up and wave when President Obama was sworn in.

Then Brenden wanted to play, but Ayvri insisted on listening to his speech.

Life Just Keeps Happening!

Travis and Brittany were divorced on January 22, on their ten month anniversary.  We really loved Britt, she was a breath of fresh air in our family.  She has been struggling with a huge burden for years.  She thought if she got married in the temple and did what was right, it would go away.  It didn't.  She says she is gay, and she doesn't want to complicate things any more, or make it worse for Travis.  I'm proud of the way Travis is handling this, with compassion and kindness.  Britt has changed our lives for good, I hope the best for her.

Ryan came home from Columbia alone.  His wife of two years was nothing like he imagined.  He doesn't have to get a divorce because his marriage wasn't recognized in the states.
