Holiday Letter

Dear Family and Friends,
It's been a full year and as I pause to reflect on this year, I feel overwhelmed by the many rich blessings I have been given.

In August, I entered my 8th year at South Jordan Middle School. It is a challenging job. I love it and am grateful to have steady employment.

I have 14 nieces and nephews with 2 more on the way this summer. They are growing so fast! The eldest of the bunch is 13 and the youngest is one. I love when we can be together.

I've also been blessed to be Gospel Doctrine teacher in my ward. Even what a ward boundary change came, it wasn't long before my prayers were answered and I was pulled back in as a Gospel Doctrine teacher. I can wait to teach the "Old Testament" and I'm betting there aren't many people out there w ho can say that.

I have the most amazing friends and family members. I thank each of them for their love, support, and appreciation. I wouldn't be much without them. Truly they are the best of Heavenly Father's children.

All my love to you and a most merry Christmas!!

A Christmas Carol

I just read A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens for the first time. It didn't take me much time to complete. The book isn't very long. I have seen several film versions of A Christmas Carol, my favorite being the version starring George C. Scott. As I read the book, I wished I had read it long ago. If you like the movie versions, you'll love the book. If you love the book, the movie version you like will depend upon your own tastes.

I recommend the book. You won't regret taking a little time to read it.
