Russell, LeighAnn & Family Sealed

 Russell, LeighAnn had their marriage solemnized in the Draper LDS Temple on Saturday, December 21, 2013.  Their daughter, Charlie Kay and their deceased son, Jimmy Russell were both sealed to them as well.  Russell arrived from his Coast Guard training late on Friday night and only got a few hours of sleep before having to get up and go to the temple.  It was a great experience for all that attended.  Afterwards, we hosted a luncheon at our house for family and friends. 

UPS Seasonal Driver

Immediately  after retirement from the Utah Highway Patrol (Nov. 16th) I began working for UPS at the Orem, Utah facility as a seasonal driver.  The first couple of weeks were quite stressful to say the least!  I was trained on one of the Orem business routes which consisted of the State and Center Street area.  My trainer kept me busy.  After two weeks, I was assigned the BYU route which included the BYU warehouse, MTC, East Bay Post Office and the two Orem Post Offices.  After the first couple of stressful days on this route, I finally was able to settle into the job and accomplish it with some confidence.  When I finish the route, the Center sends me to various places to do evening pickups and it keeps me out anywhere between 7pm and 9pm.  As a seasonal driver, this job will end sometime between Christmas Eve and the first of the New Year.  After that I'll need to find a permanent job.
