Friday. Its been a busy 3 days and lots of sore leg muscles. On Wednesday I had to take Ruthie to the University Hospital and we had to be there at 7am. I got up at 5am. After the check-in and all the details taken care of she was taken to surgery at 9am. She had to have a tumor on her pituatory glad removed. The process is to go up through the nasal passage into the frontal part of her brain to get to the gland. I went and had breakfast and then sat around in the waiting room for hours. After lunch and more waiting she was finally in NCCU and awake, that was about 2pm. After talking to her for a few minutes I made the long trek back to the parking garage. After looking on all 4 levels of the garage and not finding my car I gave up and asked for help. Security came and we drove around the garage for a while looking for where I parked. It was there, just not where I thought I had parked it. By then it was 3pm and I was very tired and felt very dumb. Ruthie is doing fine and will probably be let out on Sunday.
The Temple workers who live in the Draper TEmple area and have been called to work in that TEmple have been leaving the Jordan River TEmple and it sure is sad to know that some of the people I have gotten to know are gone and some will leave soon.
I got the baptisms done for 3 men and 3 women from my father's side of the family done yesterday and now will get the other ordinances done.
Just a beginning, but feels good.
We have finally seen our snow melt and the sun has been shining today. The only snow left is on the shady parts of the yards. I am so glad to see it go.
I would love to have the time and money to just take off and make a long trip to visit all of you one after another, but not to be, haven't won any jackpots or lotteries lately. But know that if I could I would make the trip, I miss all of you and send my love to you.
Love gma

Mom, that is great that you got those baptisms done! How cool! Good job for doing it, so now if I have questions about how to go about it I know you know how now, right?

Wish we could come visit you too. At least in April.

We wish we could come visit too, although I'm not too hip on coming to the snow.

That's great about the baptisms. We will be in the Gila Valley Temple district when the temple is built in Thatcher, until then we are still in the Mesa district. Brett & I have been doing some extraction online to feel like we are doing some temple work. It is fun, but hard to read the handwriting at times.

Have a great weekend & we are planning on coming up in April, too.
