Blaine and Carrin

Blaine and I were married on Aug. 10, 1982 in the Los Angeles Temple. We have 7 children. I gave birth to 4 and then we adopted a sibling group of 3. We love all of our children so much!! We now have 6 grandchildren. I love the ocean and Catalina is one of my favorites places. Blaine loves the mountains and fishing and hunting, he also loves Catalina. I have traveled across the US on the southern route. We went to college in Rexburg, Idaho when we first got married.

Memories in the the Night

It was beautiful not too warm evening last night, fan blowing across me as I slept, made me dream of being in Catalina after an evening stroll, listening to the waves and boats lapping in the harbor and bell tower chimes the cool breeze on my face as we go out in the dark still harbor on the flying fish boat and slowing coming back into the bay with all the beautiful lights and sounds and the heart shapes condos on the hill, oh and icecream, lol all those memories from a fan blowing in the night!

Busy Busy Month

We went up to Fresno last Sat. and the Sat. before to see Danni Lynn. First Sat. she was still in ICU, next Sat. she was in her own room. She is now in remission and will get to go home soon, we are so grateful.


This Sat. we took Quinn to Orange to pick up his new used car that he purchased from a friend, we made a day of it and took Andrew with us to Seal Beach. James was camping with Mema. Andrew had so much fun, running and splashing. The water was amazingly warm, the air temp was colder than the water I think? He loved running from the waves. It is a nice beach with no rocks and a large shelf of shallow water before the drop off. Quinn got a 2004 Mitsubishi Galant with only 40,000 miles. The transmission went out on the Mazda after 260,000 miles.






I try not to think about my job situation for next year or I'll break down, I have been at Thorner for 20 years and will miss it greatly. I don't know what the future holds or what they will offer me. I try to go eat lunch with James everyday and I love seeing him so often and try to cherish what I have at this moment.
