"Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot. wouldn't you like to get away? Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name, and they're always glad you came."
Farah was given a few days off school curiosity of Valley Children's Hospital. She probably should have stayed home and rested, but we thought a visit to Utah would be better. A mental health day, or weekend if you will. Julie was so kind and gave Farah a buddy pass to and from Utah. Farah flew out of Long Beach with Grandma & Poppy. She spent one day with her best friend Douglas Murdock. They went to "Hogle Zoo" and to see the movie "Rango". When Falyn got off work she picked Farah up at Shannon's house in SLC. Farah spent the weekend with Falyn. Farah finally got to see Falyn's apartment (Scott & I have yet to see) and J.Dawgs, Provo's best hot dogs, and of course "Sub Zero" for ice-cream. No, she didn't see Jimmer, but he is Falyn's friend's hometeacher! ;) Farah and Falyn attended Tyrel & Linda's wedding reception in South Jordan. And, of course a Sunday dinner at Aunt Nancy's with all of the family. Must have been what the doctor ordered- Farah came home with a smile.

I LOVE TO SEE YOU SMILE

"Everywhere I go,
Tellin' everyone I know,
Baby, I love to see you smile."

"I hope they call me on a mission". My parents have been called to the East Bakersfield Institute of Religion Mission. They are serving as full-time missionaries. They work and fellowship the students. They contact the LDS students, and invite them to Institute classes and activities. They help with luncheons activities, and classes. I'm sure I left out many of their responsibilities. We are very proud of them- they are a great example of service to our family.

After five long months it was great to have Falyn finally HOME! We had a lovely Christmas with Grandma & Poppy. Christmas Eve Farah played beautiful classical music and of course Christmas carols. We enjoyed games, the reading of the Nativity, and a delicious turkey dinner with ALL the trimmings. Christmas day we opened our gifts, enjoyed brunch and went to see "Tron". We said good-bye to Grandma & Poppy and drove to Monrovia for the annual Terrill family party. It was great to see everyone especially Karen from Idaho, and Amy and family from Reno. Grandma Terrill is 95, and still going strong. We are currently spending the week and New Year's Eve in Palm Springs. Falyn is especially enjoying the sun, and pool, it's a nice break from all the snow in Provo, Utah. Merry Christmas and a Happy Happy New Year!
