The first text message came in from Courtney at 1:30 on today; “There is a tornado warning here they have everyone in the back (of the WalMart store where she works).”
She reported the power went out at 1pm, then by 4 pm she was heading back to work to help dispose of refrigerated food that […]
Troy (Tina & Bruce’s oldest) on YouTube with a video message for his Aunt Courtney.
Liz just reported the results of her first full semester on the BIG campus (she went one semester to the Community college here in Gillette) down in Laramie; four A’s, three B’s and one C. The C was in music theory, which she considered a triumph (’I passed!’ was how she put it). These were […]
As I write this I can hear our vehicles driving off into the distance. We live right between two intersections, one of which is a major highway out of Gillette, so I can usually hear the engines as they pull up to the stop sign right outside, then it’s a right turn and about 100 […]
Well the two weary wanderers have returned from their Spring Break rush. Here’s just a sample of the silliness they were up to:
They took tons of pictures, some of which will appear on Liz’s blog; timeline unknown. We are just glad to have them back in one piece.
Liz and Courtney are off on their big adventure, a spring break trip to Las Vegas and California with their friend Michelle, who lives in Ohio.
Liz drove down to Laramie Thursday night, and then they both drove to Denver and caught a flight to Las Vegas. We almost had a family member on the international […]
Courtney really surprised me the other day when she let it slip that she had started a part-time job to help pay for her schooling. Since she spent much of the fall semester telling me that she was swamped and had not time for a job, I took her announcement as a good sign; she […]
Courtney is now attending the University of Wyoming in Laramie. She invited Lyal and Liz down to attend the BYU game, thinking that would be a good one for them to attend. However, she hadn’t counted on the family’s loyalty to BYU. (Grandfather Lyal taught there as a professor for 15 years). She even arranged […]
Court is frantically preparing for your graduation with a flurry of picture taking and cap/gown and invitation ordering. Couple that with all of the university registration stuff, the turbulence sometimes reaches hurricane strength. Her parents are trying to stay calm in the midst of the storm.;-)
Those planning to attend, reserve the weekend of May […]
We just discovered that Courtney has been offered a scholarship to the University of Wyoming. It’’s a president scholarship, covering books and tuition for eight full semesters of school.
