What's In This Blog

I created this blog for my journal. I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In this blog I keep many of the things I come across as a member of the church. I also share my experiences on the ACE Train and getting to work, my experiences in Manteca where we have lived for three years, and other things I think are noticeable.

Tony and I at UOP

Wile in Stockton thi last Saturday, Tony and I took a walking tour of University of Pacific.  It was also durin freshman orientation, and there were many groups being lead on a tour of the campus.  We did not follow them, but the Poke stops and Poke gyms.  It was a pretty fun time.

Visit to "This is the Place" Pioneer Park

Joseph Smith and Brigham Young
My trip to Pioneer State Park was rushed, and it was mega hot, so I didn't go into the village but stayed in the store and the memorials outside.

Idaho 2016

We traveled to Idaho to spend some time with Sheri's father and with Annie and Caleb.  Grandpa wasn't doing very well, and our second day there we took him to the hospital.  However we still had some fun.  We looked at many old family spots, including the home of Sheri's Grandparents in Iona as well as my grandparents on Lincoln Street.  I took the obligatory picture of the sugar factory.  I showed the kids the old Lincoln School, which no longer has slide fire escapes that were fun to play on.  We went to the Museum of Idaho in Idaho Falls.  We visited Rexburg and the BYUI gardens. We went to Mesa Falls.  We visited cemeteries.  It was really a good time, and we left grandpa in the hospital when we left but on the mend.
