Last Tuesday, Taylor surprised me and Sandi when she came home from school with the following announcement! After finally getting used to her class schedule, Taylor notified us that she had been advanced to four out of five (Band doesn't count) accelerated classes, Science, Math, English and Writing, if I remember correctly. We celebrated by her choosing Raising Cane's for dinner! She spent nearly three hours at church Saturday working on Achievement day projects. We are so very proud of her! Keep up the good work. Can't wait to do that Trumpet duet and have your "New" uncle Gary sit in on the Drums? We met Gary and a good friend for dinner at P.F. Chang's and then went to the Cheese Cake factory afterwards. We hadn't seen Gary in 13 years. Gary is one of Sandi's first Bosses when she was 21 and managed a huge chain Pizza Company, Peter Piper Pizza. Gary, a former Bishop in the LDS church would leave books of Mormon on his counters at the store. Gary, and Stan Neilson were partners and when Stan started the chain if Las Vegas, he called Sandi to transfer to Las Vegas and help run his largest store. Stan would tease Sandi about meeting a nice LDS man and get married. Sandi told Stan one day that if God wanted her to meet and marry a good LDS man, that he would walk right through the front doors of the Pizza Store. Not only did we meet at Pistol Pete's Pizza, using the intercom system to call guests to pick up there orders, and in front of about 300 Pizza goers I asked Sandi to marry me, followed by a large standing ovation and cheers. (Startled the heck out of me). Gary baptized Sandi when she was 22 years old.
