Snake River Valley Sunset [Video]

Got the opportunity to head back up to Idaho this weekend for the Lovell Family Reunion. Not only was the company great, but the drive back to our hotel in Idaho Falls gave us this glimpse of heaven.

It reminded me of the many reasons why I love Idaho. We do hope to be able to return one day to Rexburg, the city we love so much.

Did you hear the story about the few Valentines?

The opportunity to celebrate the life and memory of Edna brought with it the chance to spend time back east with my father and his siblings.
As wonderful as that was, it also was a great chance to connect with the Klausman’s and show our appreciation for their saintly matriarch. We each commented at least once how much it meant to us for their inviting us in so readily into their lives as the two families joined with their marriage in 2003.
Spoken of often was Edna’s faith, friendship and fervent devotion to her family. Her empathy and caring nature impacted everyone she met for good.

My grandmother’s diary,1946

The trip to Virginia yielded this jewel, my grandmother’s diary from 1946. This was the year she married my grandfather, Robert Valentine. She’s pretty consistent the first 6 months of the year, including the months leading up to the marriage (April 6) and for a few months afterwards.

I’ve begun the work of transcribing it and it’s been an awesome experience to get to know her a little bit better through the process. By the time I was old enough to remember Grandma, she was already in a lot of pain from a life of adventure.
