I can’t explain them all, but what I know is we had a good time. Let’s see how many I can attach. I believe Corey was on his mission and I apologize for so many of my family, but there are quite a few on the raft going down the river. I hope you enjoy.
Our first Christmas in our house was when Rich sold his house and was living with us for a period of time. We moved into his house with him for a while, I don’t remember exactly how long it was, bit it was when Morrie and Genee returned from their second mission so we needed somewhere to go.

Growing up in my home town, Iona, Idaho was a lot of fun. We pretty much had freedom to do what we wanted. At a young age I remember even helping mom and dad (grandma and grandpa) clean the grocery store. Dad purchased the store from his dad and we as a family spent many hours helping.

Amyloidosis (am-uh-loi-DO-sis) is a rare disease that occurs when a protein called amyloid builds up in organs. This amyloid buildup can make the organs not work properly. Organs that may be affected include the heart, kidneys, liver, spleen, nervous system, and digestive tract. Some types of amyloidosis occur with other diseases. These types may improve with treatment of the other diseases. Some types of amyloidosis may lead to life-threatening organ failure. Treatments may include chemotherapy with strong drugs used to treat cancer. Other types of medications can reduce amyloid production and control symptoms. Some people may benefit from organ or stem cell transplants.

It could have happened once, or maybe multiple times, but in the end, we are changed. These are sometimes very personal and hard to relate because of the impact it rendered in our life. This story is about one event that changed the Meaning of Life for me. Continue reading

My senior year of high school we were on what they called split sessions. That meant that the high school students started at 7am and the junior high students started like 2pm. The high school was out at 1pm. Because of this schedule, I picked up a job working in constructions. I would go to work at about 2pm and work until about 6pm. Of course I would rather work than go to school at that time in my life. Continue reading
