How 2023 has started:

Here we are, well on our way into January, the holidays tucked away and so many things coming up.

My dear friend Kimberlee works at Jamestowne and I love that she is there with Paisley. Kimberlee texted me this photo she took of Paisley waiting for her ride (me) after her shift. She said Paisley is always so sweet with the residents, always happy to chat with them instead of focusing on her phone and ignoring them. I enjoy hearing about the people she meets, she always starts with "There is the sweetest grandpa..."

My Zekey. He's getting so tall and "teenager-y" and I love every minute of this time. He is so sweet and open and so particular on what he will and will not wear, even down to his belts. I love 13 year old Zeke.

I came upon a crazy accident minutes after it happened just around the corner from our house! I had to text my family to be careful out there, folks!

One morning while running to the Provo Post Office, this sight took my breath away and filled my soul with joy! Christ lives and will return and He has made all the difference in my life.

I'm not loving my current pillow combo so I took a picture so that while I'm out and about I can have reference to make some changes:

Cash is great to host family. I headed up to their house late after a Sunday full of meetings and just stood there and looked at all these parked cars and their jolly lit up house, full of anticipation and joy to spend the evening with the people I love the most. I am not sure why, but I am the luckiest gal in the whole world.

Grayson sent this pic to Adren and I love it.

Adren stepped outside to say goodbye to Sammy, who has been here for the holiday break. They have spent as much time as they could together. I feel for them. Her, so far away at school, he about to send in his papers. It's all good things, but I still appreciate how hard the distance can be.

And it's starting to snow more!

I took Zeke with me to run some errands and I took this pic to show Paisley her binder options for a class. Zekey...

I finally got my hair done. It's been since June and was so bad. The bad choice bangs were really bumming me out. I have decided that I am going in more often to let Devron work her magic. Fresh color, fresh chop and fresh blend.

Happy 2023!

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 ...
