All of us have many adventures as we travel through life, and our family in no exception. Sometimes we even learn a life lesson along the way, and we always look for the good as we go.

Josh and Kenna Eckery 18 August 2017
One of the many exciting activities we had last summer was the wedding of our daughter Kenna and Josh Eckery. Kenna and Josh met at BYU-I. They were in the same ward. The first time we met Josh was at a concert that Kenna sang in. We were able to be in Rexburg for it and he was there to watch her too.

We were planning on having a friend from Kuna do the decorating, but […]

Another place I never had a desire to visit was New York City. I’ve been to other large cities, like Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, San Fransisco, Seattle, Portland, and while I enjoyed my time there, they aren’t places that I would really like to live, or spend an extended amount of time in. I grew up in Adrian, Oregon where the population sign has read 150 since I can remember, and even then we lived 2 miles out of town on a perfect 3 acres in the middle of farm land. The thought of visiting a place with a population of 8.406 million people has always been a little overwhelming and not very appealing. Manhattan alone has as many people as the entire state of Idaho, and it’s only […]
