Jasmine is having a birthday soon!

Jasmine has a birthday coming up on September 5th. Don't forget to send her your love and birthday wishes. Rick and I went to an art fare in Downtown Atlanta just before he left and we watched an artisan making necklaces. We thought they were very lovely and unique (just like Jaz) so we had him make one for her. Hope you like it Jasmine, it is in the mail on it's way to you! Love, Rick & Pat

My brother Dan is finally a Grandpa @ age 59, yeah!

Lighten Up & have fun!

This is for anyone who thinks their family is really weird and need to get a new life or just lighten up. I love it!

Happy Birthday Luke!

Luke will be 6 years old on August 30 and start school the week before.
Here is a cute picture I sent him with his birthday card. I didn't want him to be disappointed with just a card and wanted him to know what the check was for. When I asked how he like the picture I sent he said, "There's just one thing wrong, Grandma. I have red hair." I laughed and then told him it wasn't his hair but a helment. He got a good chuckled out of his mistake too!

He and his Mom went shopping and picked out a great bike and helment (before his real birthday celebration) so he would be ready to ride it to and from school.
Sally sent this photo of Luke on his new bike from Grandma and Grandpa. Isn't he just the cutest!

Keeping myself busy

Yes, I have been keeping myself busy so I don't worry about when the house sells. I made some fleece hats. I'm planning to send them to the LDS Church Humanitarian Center. But before I do I thought I'd offer them to family and friends first. If you see one you like just say the word and I'll send it to you. I am planning to work on my Halloween costume next. Send me your news and I'll post it for the family to read since not much is happeniong here in Snellville.

Jeff Cornwall & Shanise Titus

If you are living in Utah there is a great event happening August 19th, 2006 @ Earley Park in Beaver Dam, Utah. Jeff & Shanise are getting married at 7:00 pm.

The day before the wedding ( August 18 at 6:00 pm) family & friends are invited to a pot luck wedding dinner at the Tremonton 3rd Ward building.

If you can't make it to the wedding, you can see them again on the 25th of August in Payson for a reception at 6:30-8:30 pm.

Congratulation Jeff and Shansie!

Luke with 1 tooth missing

Luke has had a sore on his gum for the past week that wasn't getting better. I took him to the dentist today and it is an absess, so they pulled out his tooth. He was very worried, but he liked the little car they gave him. He said it hurt when he stuck the needle in his gum. So now Luke will have a hole for a while because the bottom teeth need to go first. I think it looks pretty cute! Love, Sally

Rick changes jobs after 19 years

Rick has worked for Ikon Office Systems (formerly know as Associated Business Products) for 2 months shy of 19 years. He was a filed copier repair technician for 17 years and for the last 19 months as a call center technician. This photo is of the friends he made while working in the Call Center in Norcross, Georgia. Rick's last day was yesterday and he was very sad to leave a great job and new friends. Today he told me of the friend he will miss most, Greg Phillpots. They both have been truck drivers, like to fly, like to fix things and much more. Greg is originally from Australia. We discussed changing our minds and staying here but felt that we are more comfortable in a cooler climate and really want to be near our families. The "big city" life is not for us nor is the freeway driving and lots of traffic. Rick especially feels isolated and I am mostly homesick. Rick however, did very well being a city driver. He could drive to almost anywhere after looking at a map or driving there only one time.

Rick left today for Idaho Falls, Idaho and a new job with Yost Business Systems. He will be driving across the USA by himself, so family & friend keep him in your prayers. I will miss him terribly, he has spoiled me so much for so many years I'm not sure I will do very well without him here with me. Thank goodness for our Ward family who are willing to help in anyway.
