We have officially passed a milestone.  One most of you will reach at some time, some sooner than others, but I hope when you reach it, that the rewards will still be there!  I'm not going to get political (sequestration, entitlements, etc.), but last night Tony officially applied for SOCIAL SECURITY!!  He will be full retirement age in May, and we are going to take the money and run.  Just wish we were going to literally run!
If he delayed getting SS until age 70, he would get more per month.  Not worth it, especially when you consider how many years it would take to make it up.  We know too many who wait and wait, only to find that they can no longer do any of the things they want to do.  So, for now, he'll keep working AND receiving the monthly checks.  It will come in handy really soon!
We have friends who put in their mission papers a couple months ago, and they will be going to Kenya in July!  Going to learn Swahili!  It's really got us thinking, especially since they are about our ages.
 And when we went to Cedar City last weekend for Kolby's baptism, we stayed at a place with an indoor pool, so we invited the kids.  Those 3 sweet girls are Maya, Ellie and Rachel.  Then there's Kayla, Kolby and Maxwell.  Love those kids!

One more year for Brent... But the plus side is his other program kicks in when he turns 65 so one more month for that, and he can keep working and get that retirement at the same time! Hurray! Hopefully the house will be paid for by the time he really retires.

We were thrilled to see that Kolby was baptized and glad you were able to make it to the baptism. Looks like everyone was having a great time!
