We spent a week relaxing and enjoying ourselves. It is always good to get away from the stresses in our lives. We ate, read, sat by the pool and not much else. The Fairmont Hotel was amazing; I put up a a picture of us in the lobby and one of the hotel grounds. Every mourning we walked along a path that followed the beach; a couple of pictures are of the views from this path. The food we ate was amazing, many very good dishes to try. Wish we where still there!!!!
It was the first time in four years that all the brothers were together. It was great to see each other. Mom and Dad were delighted to have us all there. Cynda tagged along and it was fun to have her with us.
Nate Graduated from The UNLV School of Dental Medicine in May. We are very proud of him and for this accomplishment. He spoke at the UNLV commencement held at the Thomas and Mack arena, as always he gave a thoughtful and inspiring address. We appreciate and love Stacie for her long standing support of Nate's education. They are now off to Kentucky for more school. We were so happy that Erin, Warren and Cynda all came to Las Vegas for the Graduation (not to mention that all were there for Shelly to celebrate Mother's day with her kids).
We had a great experience reliving what the Handcart pioneers went through with the youth of our Ward and Stake. We have a new appreciation for those Pioneers. Shelly's Great, Great Grandfather Hans Ole Magleby came across the plains pushing a handcart, and we are so grateful to him. Our Youth were great!!! I had to leave on Saturday for a special meeting with Elder Bednar for all the Stake President's and Bishops in the Central California area, I felt bad that I missed the last day. Elder Bednar was great!!!
We went to see Nate and family. It is always fun to see them. Soon they we be in Kentucky and we will miss them. A visit to the Mirage to see dolphins, lions and tigers was very exciting.
