Tagged I'm it and who will be next?

Karla has tagged me and finally I have had a moment to reply.

What I was doing 10 years ago? 1998

I had to look in my trusty journal. I might switch to Doug's journal. We have a new pact. He will do the journal writing and I will do the scripture study. Is their enough time in life for everything? (First journal entry for 1998, "Our lesson was on journal keeping and I am determined to do better at writing." Wow, I'd better get with it.

1. I was working in Young Women's. In Corcoran my life has mainly revolved around family and Young Women's. I really do enjoy working with these wonderful girls. I learn a great deal from them and about myself.

2. Elizabeth Jamison was born to Heather and Paul Feb. 4, 1998. What a precious new granddaughter. When she was born her older sister called her "Bethlehem". That is sort of close. (I'm glad that I wrote that down.) I love being a grandmother.

3. Janessa and I had fun preparing for her and Mitchell's wedding and reception. It was nice to finally have a wedding in California. The mudslide that delayed their reception for a couple of hours, made it unforgettable. We all left LA at different times. Tricia and her family made it to the reception when the decorations were taken down. That part was sad.

4. As like right now I was looking forward to our weekly letter from our missionary. Jared was in Venezuela at that time and Adam is in Portugal now.

5. My father had his second open-heart surgery and a double pacemaker put in. I hated to leave my Daddy looking so white. He didn't even know that I had been there. Just before I left for home I told him good-bye. He was unconscious and I didn't know if I'd see him alive again. I told him that I loved him and he squeezed my fingers letting me know that he knew I was there. I was so grateful.

1. Paint the trim in our bedroom and put up new curtains and rearrange the room.
