This May is a month for changes. We have been waiting and hoping and finally we have had spring arrive. It may be short because temperatures are already heading toward summertime. Some of those changes may involve graduation from various educational institutions.
Three of our youth are graduating from high school. They are Davanie Ostler, daughter of Stuart and Alona Ostler; Liberty Stanworth, daughter of Kaci Baldwin; and Samantha Petersen, daughter of Brian and Jill Petersen. Now is a time for big decisions for the months ahead.
Rico Crosland graduated from BYU/Idaho in Rexburg and has already had some break time away from studies and moved to Logan while making future plans.
Benjamin Seamons and his wife Mollie have both graduated from Utah State University. Ben graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelors of Science in Applied Mathematics and three minors in Biomathematics, Biology and Chemistry. His goal is that of becoming a doctor, so he is well onto that path. Mollie Seamons graduated with a degree in Dietetics. Ben is serving an internship at the University of Utah School of Medicine in Salt Lake City for the coming summer months.
David and Melanie Law of Kaysville, UT, spent some time at their Mink Creek home, grateful to have the snow receded sufficiently so they could enjoy being here. They brought friends, a roommate of Melanie’s from their college days.
Devin and Maria Flake and their son Jude spent a weekend with her mother Lana and Ivan McCracken. The Flakes live in Orem, UT.
Candy Longhurst took a dream vacation to Italy, one of those “once in a lifetime” experiences. She made new friends within her travel companions that will last forever. One of Candy’s favorite activities is hiking and she had plenty of opportunities in that way to see the beautiful scenery of Italy. Besides the lovely countryside the group visited the usual tourist spots, spent some time at the ocean, and enjoyed wonderful Italian food.
We’ve had some rain recently. I wouldn’t call the storms “spring showers,” more like cloud bursts of relatively short duration. The rain has only served to make things still greener, but adding a bit more to our already full waterways. The blossoms on the budding fruit trees are intact thus far. However the various fruits are not blooming in turns as is the usual, instead they are all in flower at the same time, just couldn’t wait with lateness of the season.
We also have Kendall Donaldson graduating high school, she is also from our area.
