I've been writing a review of the year and am amazed at all the work we've gotten done and all the fun experiences we've had, as well as some challenges. Here are the things that have come to mind:
We worked hard and remodeled the 3rd apartment and moved the sewing room upstairs
Got all new furniture for the living room. I love it!
Our shipment from Europe arrived safely and we got all our furniture and belongings put in place
Mindy came to visit for a week and got all our old family photos scanned and saved. She makes us laugh and do crazy things. It was so fun.
I went back to work at Nibley Elementary, with very mixed feelings.
Dennis officially became President of Wescor. Wayne and Paul retired.
We got new windows. Yeah!! What a big improvement.
Dad Briscoe burns a large portion of his back in a accident while working in the yard.
Our friend, Lydia, came from Holland. We went to Women's Conference, Yellowstone, & Las Vegas.
My good friend, Carol, is diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. She has 2 surgeries and starts chemo. We make a care quilt for her with squares from 100 friends.
Cameron graduated from BYU. He decides to continue his education at Univ. of Indiana
Alyna graduated from Mountain Crest. Gets a scholarship to USU.
Jessica drove to Virginia (with some help from Dennis) to work for the summer.
Dennis and I went to Europe separately and then met in Holland and traveled to Spain.
The whole family went to Lake Powell for a memorable vacation with the Pace family.
Mindy had her thyroid removed and was treated for thyroid cancer.
Andrew got a lot of amazing work around the house and yard this summer.
Marga and Suzanna came from Holland. We traveled to California and Yellowstone.
Our first grandchild was born. Benjamin Ralph Pace has been a fun addition to the family.
Lisa, Cameron and Benjamin moved to Indiana.
Dennis and I vacationed for a week in Hawaii.
My dad had open heart surgery and has had lots of challenges in recovering since then.
Dennis made it to the Delta airline Diamond Medallion status. That means he's traveled A LOT this year! He mostly went to Europe but also finally made it to South America - Columbia.
Mandy and Dan had baby Kara.
Zeke leaves to serve a mission in Oklahoma.
There are several more fun things we are looking forward to before the year is over: family get-togethers, the Pace family coming for the holidays and Kara will be here for Christmas.

Wow! That is a lot. I can't believe it was only a year ago that you were headed home. We can't wait to see you! Two more weeks = 14 days = 336 hours until we are on our way!
Wow Annette! I didn't realize that you guys have had so much going on! I sure miss seeing you more often! I'm glad that Mindy and your Dad are doing ok now- sounds like a scary year though! Despite all the craziness, you're clearly as amazing as ever!
Love,
Callie
