Andy, Nikki and Grant!!!: Wow! its been a while!

We are alive! Things have just been really crazy-go-nuts! Nikki is working full time as a CNA at a nursing home for children called Totally Kids, and i have been working and going to school full time. I came on here and realized that we went through most of september and all of october and not once did we update so i wanted to give a quick little update of what we have been doing lately.

Nikki is a teacher of the 11-12 year old girls at church and is doing a wonderful job. One day a few months ago nikki's mom asked how her class was going and nikki's answer lead into a long talk about the kingdoms of glory and baptisms for the dead. To my suprise nikki's mom said, "We are going to have to give you my families book of geneology so that you can take care of our family." We did get that book and are now preparing them to go to the temple. There were 42 names in that book. This has both of us very excited. Not only are we excited about nikki's family history but with mine as well.

With the passing of Grandpa Peterson i have started talking alot with his youngest sister, LaVon. She has shared many fun stories and has been a giant help in helping me get to know my grandpa and his family. Today when i got home from church there was a Big yellow envelope sitting on the desk in my appartment. It was from LaVon. Inside was a number of biographies written by my great-grandpa James Edward Peterson, his wife Evelyn Brunson Peterson. As well as a biography of the lives of James Christian Peterson and his wife. and also of Peder H. Peterson and his wife (james c. peterson's father and mother). Tonight nikki and i went over to Mom and Dads house and read some of the stories and histories that were shared. I am going to try and get copies made for each of the siblings. as well as another treat that i have not yet received yet. But will share it when i get it.

Let me just say in closing. Peterson family, we have a very amazing family line. Very toughand hard working. it gives us alot to live up to !
