Family Motto Thee lift me and I'll lift thee and we will ascend together. “ Be happy. Let discouragement be a challenge, not a defeat; an opportunity & a privilege. Dear Family, In case you haven't noticed, our world is growing smaller. It is centered more and more on our personal and present needs. Not much on traveling. When we do need to go out of Brigham City it is either for an appointment or for a family event and always for a short time. When we talk with others our conversation is about who we see and what we do which is very close to home – probably not very interesting to others. Our main interest is that our family is doing well and, in time, & with the help of The Lord, Heavenly Father & The Holy Ghost we will all “ascend together.” This month our travels have been to our Family Reunion, Karen and Ben's, Brigham City Museum and The moon. These pictures tell the stories: Our trip to the moon: Total Eclipse in Oregan. ...

When I talked with Julie late last night about my wanting a collage of our family that attended the reunion my final decision was that she should not worry about it.  You see the lens on her camera is not behaving and the pictures are not as clear as she requires for her finest work.  So we made the agreement that I could make one alright.  Too my surprise I got a text from her an hour later saying, "Call me."  I did and she guided me to her "Drop Box" where she had stored this 2017 CHRISTENSEN REUNION picture.  She couldn't let her mom fuss over a picture and so she took the time to do it herself.  What can I say?  My emotions are too tearfull to express.  Thank you a thousand times more than "so much" Julie!!! Now you all may have a copy too.  What a gift for all of us!!! I just couldn't wait until next week to share this with all of you. Love, Mom/Grandma

Dear Family, Our last week's letter blog was more facts than feelings and my pictures weren't nearly as wonderful as the ones July has given us. So I/We all thank you, Julie for all those wonderful pictures you have given us. They are perfect and just what I wished I could have taken. The balloons being brought down from the ceiling, and when we launched them into the sky, each family with us, when we danced, even when we had a nap, besides all the in-between activities. You are still the Master Photographer and I thank you with all my heart. Julie did say that I could put the link for the pictures on our blog, so here it is: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xmiikh24wwk09o4/AABKhWkNFr0SuBzI6DSLpq1-a?dl=0 Today I want to talk about our “feelings” at and about the reunion...
