Summer 2010

The past couple of months have been exciting and emotional at our house. Douglas received his mission call in April to serve in the California Anaheim Mission. We took him to the Bountiful Temple at the end of May. On June 25, 2010 our first granddaughter was born. Her name is Julie Abigail Christopherson. She weighed 7 pounds 10 ounces and was 19 3/4 inches long. She is perfect and wonderful. We're really glad that her Uncle Doug was able to meet her before he left on his mission. We all spoke in church on June 27 and enjoyed an open house that night with lots of Doug's friends and family. Yesterday, on July 7, we dropped him off at the MTC in Provo to begin 2 years of full-time missionary service. Although it was very emotional for all of us, by the time Douglas walked in the building he was smiling and visiting with his host. We are anxiously looking forward to hearing from him!
