News of Late...

This will be an eventful week for Paul and Karen West. We are going to be sealed in the Bountiful Temple this next Saturday, August 29. This is 18 months to the day since we were married. (It's easy to remember since it's also the 29th. :-)) This is a very special day for us and one that will have eternal blessings. We'll hopefully have some photos to share after this weekend.

We Arrived in Bountiful!

On June 20th, we pulled up roots, (that were pretty deep after 6 1/2 years in Sandy) and headed to our new home in Bountiful. We had help from 3 wonderful sons-in-law, Steph, Gregg and Kathy Soffe, and two of Rich's employees to help the day go by without a hitch. The rain started about the time we were finished so we dodged getting a little damp on this fateful day. We are so grateful for everyone that helped and made the move possible.

Bountiful is a peaceful, beautiful place with many adventures in store for the Wests. Our membership records were read into the Mueller Park 2nd Ward and we were welcomed with open arms. There are many we met on our first Sunday, but since we're old... the names are difficult to remember, but I'm sure we'll get better.

I left for my commute on Wednesday morning to JetBlue, only to have two deer run past my car as I backed out of the driveway. Yes, we live in the mountains of Utah. =]

As soon as I can find my camera...(there are still several boxes to unpack) I will post some photos of this WONDERFUL place. Paul and I are pinching ourselves that we have found this home and all the blessings associated with it. The many hours of frustration that we experienced while we were looking for a new home are but a memory. The Lord was teaching us patience and reliance on Him. He knows best. We are grateful for our blessings and can't wait to have you come visit when you can.
