Clint and Lucy Lee Wedding at Logan Temple

This family is very dear to us!  Brigham was able to help reactivate them to the church while he served his mission in France.  We were invited to attend the Temple wedding of their daughter Lucy on June 27th at the Logan Temple.  It was a beautiful day of celebration and joyful reunion.

Speaking at Sugar House Rotary

Membre-4thofJuly 242

Here I am with Steve Knudsen and his wife at the Rotary Meeting.  He called me the day after the Deseret News article published a piece highlighting my platform with this quote: 

“Up until this point, I was just a really passionate mom,” she said. “But does the Rotary want a really passionate mom to come speak? No, they want Mrs. Utah or someone with a title. People will listen if I have a title instead of just ‘mom,’ and already that’s the case.”

I was impressed with their group and grateful to be a part of their meeting.  They were so gracious, so entertaining and so service oriented.  I like their motto:  SERVICE ABOVE SELF!

Miss Provo Pageant

The Miss Provo Pageant was last night and I attended with some friends.   I thought the talents were inspiring.  So much discipline, training and practice to prepare such refined talents.  It was really great!  Here I am with the new Miss Provo and below with Miss Utah, Kayla Barclay, who was the night’s MC.  Emily Nelson, Mrs. Utah United States 2008, was one of the judges. (An interesting note:  this was the first pageant I’ve ever attended in the audience, since my first pageant experience EVER, I was on the stage side of things.)

I just found this article in the Daily Herald, highlighting the new business of our friend John Pestana.  Check out his website at exactrail.com to learn more about his model trains.  John hosts the monthly movie club that Brigham started.

Here’s the article

Look out, Lionel. A new Orem-based model railroad business, ExactRail, has embarked on a journey that the company’s founders hope will eventually take the “new kid on the tracks” to the peak of the industry.

ExactRail, co-founded by Chris Clune and John Pestana, designs and manufactures model trains in HO and N scales.

“We want to become the largest train company in the world,” said Pestana, who lives in Provo. “We estimate Lionel has sales of around $100 million per year. There’s our benchmark.” … continue reading this entry.
