Twin Lakes - mark your calendars!

This will be our first year ever going to Twin Lakes without mom and dad - impressive since I'm the youngest (almost 31 - how old does that make you feel!?) and wasn't born when they first started going. Responsibilities are being delegated and we're just trying to figure out who's going at this point and what cabins we have.

Kristin is in charge of making sure we keep the cabins another year. :) This is a HUGE responsibility - no pressure, but the cabins are hard to come by and our group keeps multiplying and replenishing - what can you do!? :)

I received the Twin Lakes info. today - We are scheduled for July 24-31.  Let me know your plans when your figure out what you're doing.

I know we have our cabin #16 - the one we are in.

We have mom & dad's cabin

We have Caryn's cabin

We have the one bed cabin.

I don't want to do the deciding where to put everyone, so reply to all what you would like and we'll work from there.

You may have plenty of cabin room this year. Maybe Ryan will want to give up the cabin at South Twin and come occupy ours? Generally Del has a one bed cabin which he does not use and we have ended up with it (the one Steve and Rozanne stay in).

President Johansen (mission president) was here on Monday and as I was taking him back to the airport, he said, "when the weather gets better, why don't you and Sister Sorensen take a few days and drive somewhere to enjoy the country?" I told him we will probably drive to Mo I Rana when the weather gets better and then keep going for a day or two after our meetings on Sunday.  We will be getting a new car in March or April (which we will pick up in Oslo) so he suggested that when we do that we take a few days to make the trip and enjoy the scenery along the way. He said he wants to keep the couples happy so they will recommend to their friends that this is a great place to serve. We already know that even without any "vacation" trips.

I had another tire on the car go low earlier this week, after already replacing two of them, so on Monday I went to the tire shop and replaced the other two.  I told Elder Arnesen (the elder who works in the mission office and handles money) that I was going to replace the one that was going flat on me and would replace the last one just because I did not want to have to go back for a 4th time to get a tire.

love, 

Mom and Dad

From all the emails sent back and forth: Here's who's going.
Caryn/Jim and whatever extras they bring

Kristin/Jonathan and fam

Kraig/Stephanie are not going - Norway is calling out LOUDER

Ryan/Cheri/Anita - of course! They have a posh cabin and their own boat, what else do you need really!?

Rustin/Deeana - not for sure what their plans are

Steven/Rozann - planning to stay in AZ instead, they have a few other obligations to take care of: girls camp, work and Norway also calling for them to come.

Alison/Jeff - we are not going. We tried to go to Norway, but apparently doctors/flight attendants and most likely the pilots and all other passengers are not a big fan of delivering a baby on the plane. Me neither! Althouh I would only be 25 weeks, doctor's suggestion was this: you're 30,000 feet in the air, over the ocean (she could have stopped there and I would have said okay I'll stay home), but she added more: if you go into labor or your water breaks, Noone can help you........translation - you could die in a plane - great thank you very much, I will stay home!) So no Twin Lakes for us, no to Norway for now and no to any other plans we had for traveling since all were to be done in July and we're due in August. Oh well - feel free to come visit AZ. :)
