It is already March 9th of 2014.  We have had a great year.  It is going so fast.  We spent Melissa's 25th Birthday with her in Arizona where we attended the open house for the Gilbert Temple.  It is a beautiful temple.  We were lucky to be able to go.  Christmas was just the two of us and it was somewhat lonely but we were both sick most of the time.  We are busy getting spring things ready.  Marion has spent some time with the missionaries.  It has been good for all of them.  I'm actually going to retire.  At least this month anyway.
