We apologize for not sending out a letter last year. Let’s just say it was crazy busy!!
2018 Highlights – just a few
In March Cathy was called into the YSA Stake RS Presidency as the Secretary.
Ron was released from the YSA Bishopric in June and was immediately called as the Scoutmaster. Our bishop wanted our scouts to finish strong.
When Cathy was released from her YSA Stake calling in September she was called as a Sunday School teacher for the 15-year-old class
Blessing of the year – all of our kids and grandkids live close by. The Thornton’s and the Burton’s moved here in April. Cathy’s parents moved to Kuna (not too far away) in August, YAY!!!!
Ron and Cathy were asked to be a Ma and Pa for our stake youth Trek in 2019.
2019 Highlights
Ron and Cathy attended their last YSA Klondike at the request of the YSA 1st Ward Bishop the beginning of February at BSA Camp Morrison in McCall, Idaho. It was a blast!!!
Two grandkids were baptized this year. Drusillo Jo Thornton on March 30th by Papa Ron and Maddox Nicholas Burton on September 28th by his uncle Levi Burton who had just returned home from his mission to Ogden, UT. Both were very special occasions with lots of family attending from near and far.
Trips:
- Cathy drove her dad, Clive down to Bountiful, UT for his sister, Joyce’s 90th birthday celebration May 18th
- Ron & Cathy had a staycation at a local hotel for their 35th anniversary the end of May
- Ron had a work trip to Durham, NC
- Cathy along with her mom, 3 sisters, 1 daughter and 4 nieces went to Hawaii to celebrate Cathy’s mom, Shirley’s, 80th birthday (they all had a great time just being together, playing games, eating, snorkeling, zip lining, paddle boarding and swimming with the sharks) (Cathy did not swim with the sharks – she just couldn’t do it)
- Ron and Cathy participated in 3 days and 2 nights of trek
- 1st Cornwell Family Reunion to Lincoln City, Oregon the beginning of August. The Thornton’s were unable to attend but everyone else, I think, had a wonderful time. We ate out, explored the many beaches, shopped, got the truck stuck in the sand, played games at the condo, celebrated Christine’s birthday and enjoyed just being together
- Cathy & Ron went to Cathy’s 40th Class Reunion in Coeur d’Alene the end of August. They had a great time, especially Cathy. She was able to catch up with many of her classmates. They were also able to spend some time with her brother, Mike, and his awesome family
- Cathy & Ron went to Sun Valley for 3 days the middle of September for a much-needed break from all our craziness. It was a lot of fun.
We just celebrated a wonderful Thanksgiving with almost 40 family members at our house. It was awesome!!!!
We want you all to know how much you are loved and appreciated! We hope you have a memorable Christmas and a very happy, blessed and prosperous 2020!! WE LOVE YOU!!
