Merry Christmas.

We’re not very good at pictures while we vacation, and this year we weren’t good at vacationing, so you get the same picture of us from last year!

We did stuff, though, I swear.

In short:

• We left Phoenix (and tore our hearts out because we loved it there)
• Moved to a nasty student place in Provo (termites are no one’s friend, even if you have fast internet)
• Moved (hopefully) permanently (more than five years?) to Pleasant Grove
• Spent all summer in the yard and making it presentable

And that is pretty much it.

We are now working in the Mt Timpanogos temple and enjoy the proximity to Jordan’s sisters and nieces and nephews. We also enjoyed being close to my brother and sister until they moved away in October.

We’re looking forward to 2018, and making steady incremental improvements in a number of things in our lives.

Silliness abounds in our home, and we try to share it with everyone around us.

We’re grateful for faith and the blessings we’ve received from it this year.
