November
18, 1990
A
whole year gone by, almost --
So
much has happened. Probably the 2 most
exciting and important events are Erika and Mark's 2 weddings! Can you believe it?
Erika
married Aaron Bettinson on June 15, 1990 in the Salt Lake Temple. She had a miscarriage on October 15, 1990.
Mark
married Carrie Smith on August 24, 1990 in the Salt Lake Temple. They have been living in Orem, but will be
moving back to Riverdale. Mark will be
going to Weber State College, majoring in journalism. He wants to be a sports writer.
I'm
proud of my brother and sister, and love them allot! Families are so important. I love Carrie and Aaron too. They are great! I miss Tonya, and wish she could have been
here and living her life on earth.
Both
Grandpa and Grandma Dickson are getting older, and having problems. Grandpa had a stroke last March, and is very
weak. Grandma can't hear or see very
well, and is confused in her mind. They
have their meals brought into them now.
I love them very much. They have
done so much for us.
Mom
and dad have been in California for the past week. They are coming home today. They have been tripping since the end of
August. They have gone to South Dakota,
Idaho, Southern Utah, California, etc.
We
bought Uncle Don's farm last March. (This includes the 13 acres down in the
field, the barnyard, and his share of the Richville Range) We are excited about that. Also, we bought a 1972 orange and white
Suburban. But now gas prices are killing
us.
Zac
is in 3rd grade now. (Teacher is Mrs. Debi Carter)
Mandy
is in 5th grade now. (Middle School- Mrs. Valerie Rich is the main teacher)
I'll
be 30 soon! Still on the Big
"D" Not much success yet.
(I
found this next excerpt in my journal.
Zac had written it in December ( November?) 1990, on my mom's computer.)
I
had computer today. I did page 22 and
finished the whole page. I did not like it.
I got hurt today. I scraped my
arm it hurt. I was playing
basketball. Barry tripped me. I am at my Grandma's house because my mom is
not home. I went to the library. I could not find a book, that made me feel
real sad. I went in my bedroom. I called my mom on the phone today. I am at my Grandma's house for three
days. I am having fun at my Grandma's,
she lets me type on her computer. I am
writing this journal to remember what I did a long time ago.
I
wonder if this was written while I was away at UAC meetings in St. George?
