Ward Peeps

We've got a great ward. These are great people. It took me a while to get to know and feel comfortable in the ward, which is mainly my fault. I think it took having kids- and participating in things- to finally feel like I am a part of a ward family. When I was working I was out of town a lot in the week, then Sunday's were just a quick run to church so Jon and I could nap the day away. I feel like we have such a wide range of people, and I've grown to love the older ones who are grandparents down to the newly-weds just starting families. I really love attending book group and discussing all sorts of things with an assortment of ladies, enrichment activities, and of course, my calling and working with such great women. I've learned so many things about the people in this ward, and it makes me sad when I think about moving on. Jon and I have joined a discussion group that meets every other month. One couple hosts and picks a topic, emails out articles or talks on the subject, then we gather and discuss. It's with a fun and interesting group of couples. There is also a group of gals that I get together with pretty regularly. It's usually when someones husband is out of town, we'll put the kids down and meet up at someones house, we'll all bring a little treat to share and sit around and chat, put on a movie, or pile in the car so I can show everyone the glowing graves in Provo cemetary. I have grown to love these gals and have such a good time. Recently it was one of the gals birthday so we went to "Hale" for her and saw "Hairspray". It was a great play and then went and got a treat after wards. I'm so glad I live among such great and fun people!

Good times!

The Exciting and Miscellaneous

 Zeke got his learners!!! This was easy-peasy, first try. He is an excellent driver, though he says he does not feel super confident. Maybe it is because it is kid number four, but I have all the confidence in him. What a guy! We had a fun family gathering at Cash's house. Fun because ALL of the Boc's were there. They haven't all been together for years- like since before Grayson's mission. They all gathered for Matt and Abby's 30th anniversary! Sooo sweet. Look at this bunch! I love this average summer day in the Geertsen household. I am working in my bathroom. I will share my game plan directly... Jonny... P-Day phone calls with Adren are the best. He just gets whomever is around, sometimes it's just the Parentals. I took this screenshot of Cade, Ashley and Jon all on Mount Timp! Many in the family joined that day. This is the second summit on that mountain in a month for Jonny! Just a pretty screenshot from the doorbell cam.   Paisley has been asked to Prom b...

May Celebrations and Love!

Our little Paisley and all of her little friends are graduating from High School and all of us mothers cannot believe it! My dear friend and current Young Women's President, Elin, set up a beautiful evening for the girls and mothers to celebrate each one of them. It was lovely and touching and very special. These girls are the best! Despite the scaffolding that has been a staple for way too many weeks I care to count, I always appreciate our coming-to-life spring yard. Everything is filling in nicely. It is amazing how big our trees and bushes have become in hardly no time! But that scaffolding! You can't really tell, but it is quite the maze to get in the front door. The porch area may need to be removed just so that people can enter safely on the Homecoming Day.  My friend Kelly reminded our CRU when we replaced our faces onto her family portrait when she arrived home from living abroad for a time. We so funny! More windows being installed. Hooray! I snapped these as I headed...

Happy Anniversary to Jon & Lindsey!

Happy 25 Years to us! We spent the weekend at Snowbird at the lovely resort. It was all so pretty! Our room had such gorgeous views of the mountainside. I texted this pic to Adren of Pfeifferhorn, a mountain he summited with his dad once. I looked at that, marveling that my boy has been there! We took the tram up to the top of the mountain to enjoy panoramic views all around. One of the days it was nice to say, "The only thing on our schedule is a tram ride and dinner reservations". After so much hussle, it was nice to not have a whole lot to do. Chillin' with Jonny was really nice and good for us. It was a good reminder that we really enjoy each other. I mean, we knew that, but it is nice to spend a weekend together when you don't have a million other things going on. When we got back, I dived right back into our big event at work, our annual Give Hope Gala. This one was fun because Jon got to attend with me. It was a fun evening with him and my work friends. Off we ...
