Dear family,
I noticed I started a blog and must of got interrupted. Hope everything is just about fine with you. We've had some bad news caused by the economy. Jeff lost his job with Empire. He'd worked there for 15 years. Their busiiness has dropped drastically with the slow down in building. My brother Mark who is a CPA lost the job he'd only had a month. He'd uncovered a lot of accounts that had changed. It was a multi million dollar Co. I worry about you all in your jobs. There is so much cut back in every business. WATCH YOUR SPENDING. Cut back on some of your wants. We are going to cut back on Christmas giving this year. We just don't know from day to day how things are doing. Cut up your credit cards. Just have one and use it instead of writing a check. Pay it off at the end of the month. Don't refinance your homes. Get the mortgage paid off as soon as possible. Do like our Prophets have said. STAY OUT OF DEPT.
But always pay your tithing.

Jeff and Linda will be here for Thanksgiving. I invited Shaylee to come down if anyone is driving, you might give her a call. I'm not sure about how much time she has. She has her own apartment now and lives over by Troy.

Glad to hear from Kyle, Troy, Gary, Brynley. Way to go Brynley on the chance to run in the Boston Marathon. Kyle, glad you got settled and glad Emily is going to be back to work for State Farm or Farmers. Who was Vance or Vinve that got her the job? I've heard the name. Hope to see you Thanksgiving too. The weather is wonderful here. It's been in the low 80's. Glad that you'll all be off daylight savings time. Now we'll be the same time as you Utahns.

Grandpa is stll hurtung. He doesn't want any more surgery and I doon't blame him. He is trying to build up his legs and back with some strenuous exercises. Jeff and Linda are coming over Mon for FHE. They have the movie about Emma Smith.

Hope I didn't do too much preaching. But we love you all and want the best for you. Our gas is down to $2.63 per gallon. GMA and ibmom
