12/13/93 Last Letter (and only typed one)

Dear Jennifer,

It has been a long time since I have written as may be obvious. Well, finals are this week and I am finding that I have a little more free time on my hands to get things done that I have not been able to do for quite awhile. I was going to send the letter that I write last month but I decided not to because I read it and it is outdated. I can’t believe how long it has been since I have been home from my mission. I ran into an old companion the other day and was surprised to see how much he had changed.

I am glad that you called. I find that the hardest thing to do is find things to talk with you about. So many things have changed. For the most part it probably has a lot to do with the letter writing situation. If there was more time for correspondence we would probably have more to write about.

My weekends are pretty good. My friends and I try to go out every weekend and climb whether in the indoor climbing gym or on the real rock. About every Friday night we go out dancing or on dates. This month I have been asked to perform in a ballet of Hansel and Gretal. It’s cool but I have to forfeit part of my weekends in order to rehearse. It may be difficult but I am sure I will be able to manage it. Be sure to have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Love,
Greg

Jennifer is a bit preoccupied with assisting her sister with the formalities of the passing of a loved one, so I hope I don't do any disservice to his memory by writing this blog post. Gerald, Gerry, or Papa Bear as Jennifer lovingly called him, is Jennifer's father. I believe he passed away on June 24th, 2008. He was 80. Grandpa Shepardson was a very talented man, a concert-level pianist and very intelligent. He did a wonderful job of preparing Jennifer to marry me, because he loved music, photography, thrift shopping, "STUFF", dry humor, bad puns, reading, sharing the knowledge of his passions, and sarcasm. I love him and was sad to hear of his passing. I'm not sure if I expressed to Jennifer my admiration for her father, but I certainly hope she knows that I have always felt him to be a kindred spirit from the day I met him face to face. We love you Papa Bear! You will be missed.

OK I know 4 months isn't really very old...but I am sad that she is growing up at all! I am having so much fun with her! She is happy ALL the time. There is nothing better than being woken up to her talking in her bed in the morning. She doesn't roll much yet - mostly when she is mad. But it's coming. She is VERY strong and it probably won't be long before she is sitting on her own. YEAH!! Isn't she just dang cute!! (I realize I am a bit biased....I say this often don't it) LOL

BEFORE THE FEAST: AFTER THE FEAST: Jilly had her 4 month doctor's appointment today. She weighs in at 13 lbs. 4 oz. (45% of average 4 month olds) and is 25 inches long (80% of average four month olds). She is tall and thin.....not a bad way to be. :-) So after her check up (and the shots - poor thing) the doctor said she was definitely ready for cereal. So we came home and gave it a try. She wrinkled her nose a lot and everything came out at least once before she figured out that she should swallow it. But she was (is) dang cute doing it!! So, now we have a new fixture in the dining room....the high chair. YEAH!!
