Six of one, a half-dozen of the other

Yesterday was Jarom and Alixa’s sixth anniversary. Jarom celebrated by eating dinner with Nate and Kenz and then watching TV on their couch so they could leave Kenna and go see a movie together. Lix went golfing with her dad and brother in the morning and then went to Jackson Hole for the day. Somehow it just doesn’t seem fair.




It has been a little over a week since Lix and Jenna left, and Jarom is very excited to get them back. One advantage of the free time he has is that he has been able to go to the gym almost every day. He very much enjoys working out, but it has been a little depressing to realize how much of a sissy he has become since he stopped lifting weights, which was about two years ago when they left Utah.




Speaking of Utah, Alixa loves it and wants to move back there. She had a wonderful few days visiting President and Sister Winn. She had a wonderful dinner with them and the Souliers, some nice folks who used to live in Delaware. Their son is now married to a Hinckley, and the late prophet’s son was in attendance. Lix said that it was kind of neat but a little disconcerting because the son looks so much like the father, and I imagine it would be a little bit odd to eat a meal with the president of the church.




Lix also got to see all of her old college friends, many of whom now have their own little ones, and she loved it. She took a couponing class and is now trained to save us hundreds of dollars each month, which is very exciting to Jarom. On Tuesday she borrowed a car from Grandma and headed up to Rexburg to meet her parents and see Zak and Sam and their new baby girl. After some initial problems sleeping in the same room with Mimi and Opa, who might snore a little, things have settled down and the girls are having a wonderful time. Apparently Jenna has taken quite a liking to PJ and they have been spending a lot of time together, which is great. It is really nice that Jenna has been able to see so much of her grandparents and cousins, a trend that hopefully will be able to continue as she grows up.
