Just like Chuck-a-Rama, there are so many wonderful things to share with you! So, without any more hesitation, grab a plate and get ready for a delicious buffet of Boss Family happenings.
The year started off with me (DeLanea) finally graduating from BYU. It only took 10 years, but in keeping with the BYU mission statement, I have learned enough and I think I'm finally ready to go forth and serve. It was a great day - possibly one of the greatest - I have ever had. All the family was there and, even though I didn't think they could pull it off, they threw me a surprise party. I was definitely surprised. Then I went to Hawaii. It was a celebration of both my graduation and my turning 50 years old. It was my first time and, of course, it was a lot of fun.
Tim's new toy is a "Fun Finder Travel Trailer". We went camping a ton this summer. It was also Tim's first time ever taking two full weeks to go to our favorite vacation spot, Wallowa Lake. As you can see, we're trying as hard as possible to ease into a life of liesure. Tim continues to work hard and is managing to stay busy during a slower-than-usual economy.
Braden finally got married. It was the perfect occiasion. We had a Hawaiian Lu'au the night before with all the family in our backyard. The next day saw the wedding at the Salt Lake Temple and a perfect reception in a greenhouse. it couldn't have been a better day and we're so happy to have Jen now in our family. Braden is very lucky to have found a girl like her. Braden also starts his last semester of college at BYU. He will end up teaching film and has already had success in finding a possible job at a new high school nearby.
Dill has had a very busy year. He is currently on the American Fork Pride of American Fork Utah Marching Caveman Marching Band. At least that's what he calls it. They are Western Regional Champions (anything from Utah west) and took 12th at the national competition in Indianapolis. He enjoys music like no other. He plays the bass (upright and guitar) every free minute. When he gets his license in February, the only thing he'll need is a car big enough to hall all of his stuff around.
We had a great trip with the girls to New York City. I LOVE New York. We ate cheesecake every day, saw the sites, shopped like crazy, and saw Wicked, which was amazing. Again, let me make it clear that we LOVE that city!
The girls are producing fabulous grandchildren. They are like the dessert of our family buffet. Jenell's kids are Jerik and Jackson. Jerik is 7 and Jackson is 2. Georgia who is 1 and Gibson who is 4 are Brittney's kids.
