http://lallenupdate.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 16, 2011. Things I might have missed. Well, it's been a great month. Throughout it, I have reflected on blessings.I think if I hadn't had some experiences I wouldn't be so grateful for the little things in life that truly are important. If I hadn't got to move Scott into his "new" apartment. I wouldn't have appreciated my BED! I immediately informed Scott that he better clean up if he plans on getting to know any cute girls! Then Jay came in and sprayed some more! I was really getting t...

Allen Update: Our Christmas Call and Christmas Update!
http://lallenupdate.blogspot.com/2012/12/our-christmas-call-and-christmas-update.html
Saturday, December 29, 2012. Our Christmas Call and Christmas Update! I know many of you are interested in our call with Scott. It has taken me a few days to sit down and write about it mainly because when I talk about it I still get emotional. It was the best part of Christmas to SEE him and to be on a conference video call with Taralynn, Kory and Bowen as well. Our family was "together" for that hour and it felt so good! His companion, Elder Reed, was also in the room, though we never saw him! I got th...

Allen Update: HAWAII WITH AMY!
http://lallenupdate.blogspot.com/2012/12/hawaii-with-amy.html
Saturday, December 8, 2012. Yes, Amy and I went to Hawaii. It was a reletively quickly planned trip in some ways but in others it was long in coming. Well, we looked at possibilities off and on. We looked into traveling to Florida or Seattle or Boston. Nothing really grabbed Amy's attention enough to really go for it. So we kept going through the day to day living and were happy. The answer was YES! So we booked it. We "happened upon" the most beautiful beaches around! We missed them all and were happy t...
