Our visit to Sydney…. and a bit more!
dallin July 13th, 2008
So, it’s been a while since we last updated our blog and a lot has happened since then, so we’re not going to try and catch you up on it all. We have both turned a year older and had fairly quiet and mostly relaxing birthdays, although that was almost 2 months ago. About one month ago Dallin received a new calling into the Elders Quorum presidency and was released from Young Mens, which was surprising but also exciting.
More recently, Dallin finished his mid-year exams just over a week ago and we are waiting on the results, but he is confident that he did well in (or has at least passed) all his subjects. With only one year of his degree left we are looking forward to him finishing and being able to work.
The music school Kathryn has been working at for the past year closed at the end of last week. Our last week of lessons was followed by a good bye concert on 5 July. The closing of the school has been sad but also provided Kathryn with a wonderful opportunity to start her own business teaching piano. Almost all of the students that were at the school have moved with Kathryn which has been a great blessing as her workload will only increase slightly but it will result in a payrise! She starts teaching as of July 21 and is a little nervous but still quite excited.
We also just had a trip to Sydney to spend a few days with Callie, Luke and their families. We had a great time although Blaise and Lady were unwell for a bit of the time we were there. We were only there for a few days and as always, the time went too quickly and we wish we could have stayed for another week! We took the opportunity to go the Sydney Temple which for Kathryn was the first time she had done a full session in a temple other than Adelaide. The temple is such a beautiful place and we just love being there!
Love Kathryn & Dallin
It’s about time we entered the blog-osphere again! Love the name…ha ha.
Good to see you publishing more of your lives for us all to read. Keep up the good work Adelaide people.
Hi Kathryn & Dallin,
Just discovered your blog…..cool. Good to know that things are going well for you. It seems as kids get married and families spread apart, we often can’t keep up with what is going on…..so this blog is great. Hey good luck with your own music school Kathryn!!! Take care and stay well.
lots of love

Great to read your blog. We look forward to all future blogs. One of these days we are even going to start our own.
It was great having you visit here in Sydney. We wish it were longer too.
Hi guys, this is such a great idea and a great way to keep in touch with everyone. I hope all goes well for your piano teaching endeavours Kathryn, sounds like fun. I know you will do a wonderful job. Dallin all the best with your uni results.
