The Magnificent Mortensens


Once upon a time, in a state far away, two newlywed couples met in church, started to have FHE together, hang out and have kids together (they ended up with 6, we had 2). Life goes on and we got busy--family, work, school and before we all knew it, we each moved to our own respected states but we still kept in touch. When my niece got married in Utah, we were able to stay with them. This past Saturday we were finally able to return the favor and have them stay with us. We had five fun filled days with them. We watched conference together, shopped, went to the Olive Mill, tried to get a computer fixed, got me hooked on getting a I-pod, I was taught how to make cinnamon rolls, morning walks, FHE and for the finale---we attended the Easter Pageant at the Mesa Temple (parked one block away and sat 11 rows from the front of the stage, in the middle!!!). They left us last Thursday morning--Ryan and I said to each other--"we miss them already!!" Five minutes after they left, I called Krista to say that I was lonely. We decided that for our 30th anniversaries, we would got to Greece--we have 8 years to save up--I hope that the time goes by fast. Thank you Mortensen family for being so magnificent. See ya on Facebook.
