Stockton and Jorja didn't come up to the cabin last night because Stockton went to the funeral of the mom of one of his roommates. He also found out that Nate's dad died in 2009. Even though we missed Stockton and Jorja I'm glad Stockton made the effort to be there for Nate. I can't imagine being 22 and having both of your parents gone.

Mike likes to check out where the kids are, especially when they are going to be coming to us. He pulled up his phone and started laughing. He said it looked like they were at Chugz. He was showing it to everyone.
About 30 seconds later this picture was sent to our family group chat. Hahaha
My overnight donut casserole turned out. It was delicious, especially when it was covered in syrup, fruit and whipped cream.
We spent time sledding and it was great. We went to the Springs. It was warm and there isn't a lot of snow. By the time we finished the bottom had tons of slush. Despite that it was a blast!

Mike's chair train behind the snowmobile is so much fun. He picked everyone up at the parking lot with this contraption. Hahaha. He's the best!
Mike & Preston
There was one time we got to the top before the other group. We had to wait a bit, so Preston climbed the mountain and sled down. He was going so fast! Haha. Love that kid!

Most everyone went back. We were the last ones standing!

Sherry brought up an oculus and it was so much fun! Mike recorded me playing BeatSaver. Her family is crazy good at it. I am not, but it was still fun. I was playing a song from Moana. I think it was called You're Welcome.

Stockton and Jorja got up here this afternoon. We played games, games and more games. Love being up here! Jorja took Preston down and taught him how to swing dance. Then they taught us... a bit... we weren't as good. I wanted to record them but was denied. I talked to Jorja for a bit. She told me that she hung out with her friend Anastasia yesterday. Jorja and I met Anastasia and her mom the day we moved in. We were waiting in a LONG line at the TSC to get Stockton and Jorja's ID cards. Jorja ended up talking to Anastasia the entire time while I talked to her mom. They have a ranch in Montana. Jorja and Anastasia ended up exchanging numbers and deciding to take an institute class together. Anyway, last night Anastasia told Jorja that her entire life she had wanted to go to BYU, then she didn't get accepted. She ended up going to Utah State. She was talking to her mom while she was waiting in line saying she was worried she made the wrong decision. She didn't know if she would be able to meet anyone and was pretty scared. Right after she had that conversation Jorja started talking to her and she knew everything would be okay. I love how intuitive Jorja is. Just amazing.
Jorja was also talking about how she is supposed to go to Alta one more day. She wants to have the counselors give her a list of the students that have been accepted to Utah State. She wants to give an invitation to their advisory teacher and have them come down and talk with Jorja during their advisory. She wants to have donuts and have a chat with them. Hearing her talk about it sounded just awesome. Jorja's contact at Alta is Ms. Astle. Ms. Astle ran that by the vice principals. They didn't want Jorja to do it because then they would have to have the other colleges do it. Jorja wrote back saying the other colleges already can do it. She is supposed to come one more time, she is just the only one trying to be creative. Ms. Astle talked to the vice principals again and this time they approved it, as long as Jorja did all the work. So, that will happen the first of March. Sounds awesome. Can't wait to see how it turns out!
