August 24, 2002 - This is a letter I wrote to Amy Jo my friend

Long time since we've talked!?!?

How's football going?  Landon's 1st game is next Thursday against Park City.  He went with a few friends down to the Millard/Morgan endowment game in Fillmore last night.  I think he said we lost 6-7.  I was asleep when he came home.  He is definitely going to be MR. SOCIAL.  He is enjoying high school.  At least the first TWO days of it.  Have your kids gone back yet?  I bet you are busy busy busy - I know it's that time of year !! 

How's work going?  How's your friend GAIL???  We (Me and Dan Biedenbach) have been working on the Mt. Green land guideline for a little over a month now.  He comes up 3 days a week.  We are almost ready to start putting it down in final format.  Hopefully  another week will do it.  We are taking next week off because I've got so much going.  Even with all the reappraisal in Morgan City, and the tax hike (by both the county and school) - we haven't gotten TOO MUCH FLAK!!  Surprising.  You know I always think the worst !! 

The HIKING group is headed south again !!!  We are going to hike "The Subway" which is near Zion Park.  It's a SHORTER hike than the Narrows, but this one involves swimming, rappelling, etc.  I hope I survive.  Zac, bless his heart is going to do it with me for support this time !! YEA!!! We are driving down Monday afternoon, staying in Mark and Janene's condo that night, hiking it Tuesday, and then Rog will drive us back Tuesday night and hopefully we'll be home before 11 or midnight because we've all go work Wednesday morning.  Rog is going to live it up in Mesquite - while we're having fun in the canyons!!  Mark and Janene Walker, Annette Prescott, Jill Judd, Ed and Deb Kinsey, and Kent Page (do you know him?) from my work (planning and zoning) are going.  Kent has done it before, and he's going to be our fearless leader!!!  Here's a website you can look at !!  www.climb-utah.com/zion/subway   Are we CRAZY or what?!?!?!?!?

Stacy Lafitte's birthday was a couple of days ago, and her husband surprised her with a new "inferno" red JEEP !!!!  She's on cloud nine as you might imagine.  Craig Fisher (council man) (Don Julio man) was just made my new bishop!!?!?!  This should prove interesting?!?!?!  Me and Landon have "Reformed" and are going to church regularly !!! Surprise Surprise.  I am in the Young Women Program, which Landon just loves it !!  He wants me to have him come to one of my lessons as a "visual aid"  if you can believe it !!!  Landon was just made the 1st councilor in his Teacher's quorum, and he had to give a talk in Sacrament meeting (on Scout camp) a couple of weeks ago.   I was a nervous wreck - but he wasn't - he's a natural !!  I've attached a couple of pictures of him and a video - I don't know if you can get it to work or not.  Try it - it's hilarious !!.

Well I better go - It's 6:30 Saturday morning, (I couldn't sleep) and now it's a quarter to 7 and I told mom I'd come and help her set out things for a yard sale this morning. Her ward is having a joint one, and she's got a bunch of stuff from Grandma Tonks' house. 

See ya - write back and let me know how your life is going !!!!

LOVE GWEN
