Facebook Group
A counselor from another year found my blog post about Oakcrest today. She said that she started Oakcrest Facebook group.
Here is the link if anyone wants to join.
Also, on a sappy note... we read a scripture in sunday school the other day that made me think of you guys. It was Alma 17:2
"Now these sons of Mosiah were with Alma at the time the angel first appeared unto him; therefore Alma did rejoice exceedingly to see his brethren; and what added more to his joy, they were still his brethren in the Lord; yea, and they had waxed strong in the knowledge of the truth; for they were men of a sound understanding and they had searched the scriptures diligently, that they might know the word of God. "
It really made me happy to read all of your blog posts here and see you all still seem to have strong testimonies and that you are all going to church. If you have families it's neat to see your kids being raised in the gospel too. I really did "rejoice" reading all of your blog posts and it's fun to see Alma had similar thoughts. Love you girls!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
Just taking down my Christmas tree and got a little sentimental thinking about that wonderful Christmas in July that we all spent together. Somehow these ornaments have always been a part of my tree.
I love you all and hope you had a great Christmas and a Happy New Year! Thanks for the Memories!!!

A Christmas card from VaVeeka!
Dear Friends and Family,
Yea! It’s Christmas! We love this time of year not because it is cold and snowy, but because it is so festive and jolly and the only time of year we actually look forward to getting our mail every day.
We’ve had a year of changes. Adam opened his own branch office of Academy Mortgage and began working exclusively from his home office which has turned out to be a great fit for our family. He loves that his commute is a flight of stairs and he can always be home for lunch. In fact after 8 months we have yet to think of any negatives about the arrangement. This new working situation gave us the freedom to move away from busy city life and build a new home in Providence, UT (right next to Logan in Cache Valley). We made the big move in September and absolutely love it here. Cache Valley is beautiful and the kids have adjusted well to their new school and friends. I enjoy volunteering at the kids’ school and try to keep the troops in line on the home front. I love being able to be at home with the kids every day.
Britton turned 7 in August and is in the 1st grade at school. He loves to read, play sports, and has just discovered Star Wars. He is tender hearted and very thoughtful and a lot of fun to be around. He is the first one up in the morning and never stops going all day long. He loves school and spending time with his Dad discussing very important things like college football and the BCS rankings. In a family with girls, they’ve learned to stick together!
Jenna is 5 and in Kindergarten and often declares, “no one loves school more than me!” She spends half the day at school and the other half playing with (and taking care of) her little sister. She is very nurturing and often surprises me by making my bed and getting Korinne dressed and ready for the day. She loves all things girly and already seems older than her 5 years.
Korinne is 3 and keeps us entertained. I’ve always said she has more personality than her little body can handle. Now that she can talk it is fun to see what comes out of her mouth. She loves to tease everyone like her brother, and dress up and play like her sister. She loves to keep Adam company while he works and enjoys going to stores with Mom. She loves it when the other kids are home, but has just as much fun when she’s got Mom and Dad to herself. She definitely keeps us on our toes at all times.
It’s been a great year for our family and we want to send our Christmas greetings to you all. We hope you have a great season filled with the true spirit of Christmas. Thanks for being a part of our lives!
With Love,
Adam, Hilary (a.k.a VaVeeka), Britton, Jenna and Korinne

This Saturday (Nov 8)
When we were at dinner the other night a couple of you said you were interested in digital scrapbooking. The free class I mentioned to you guys is this Saturday, November 8th from 10-noon in Sandy, UT. If any of you (Oakcrest '95 counselors) are interested in what I do I'll be happy to give you a couple CDs to try. I can ship them to you or you can pick them up at the class this Saturday. You can get more information on the class here: http://www.digitalscrapbookmemories.com/takeAClass.asp
Also, guess who I got to go to lunch with? J-Bird. How cool is that? She gave me a video to upload onto the blog. Unfortunately the computer I put it on has some problems so I can't post it just yet. Hopefully soon.
