Happy Thanksgiving- Letter

Happy Thanksgiving


I can’t believe it’s that time of year. The time of year when the color of leaves change color, leaves are falling from the trees and Last but not least the time of year when we give THANKS for all our freedom’s we are priviledged and blessed to have. That time is Thanksgiving.

I hope this letter finds you and yours all in wonderful health and blessed.

It’s been quite a long time since the last letter. A lot has happened in that time.
Here is a update and “run down” on the whole Richhart family and how we all are doing.


Ashlee- turned 1 this last April and she is now walking and enjoying life. She loves her mommy and daddy and big brother and sister and loves being with all her family. She is the light of everyone’s life. We love you Ashlee.


Kayla- turned 3 years old this year. She is just as sweet as ever. We all love her so much. Kayla loves Dora, Tinkerbell, anything princess. She also loves being with her Big Brother and misses him when he goes to school. She also loves playing with cousin’s, and family and doing everything her big brother and everyone else does. She is very tender-hearted, caring and very very loving.


Dakota- turned 5 this year!!! YAY!! And with turning 5 came a couple of milestones. He first graduated and finished preschool. His preschool had a fun little ceremony and program. He then in the Fall started Kindergarten. And he loves it. He get’s to ride the “Big School Bus!” and he is such a good helper to the bus driver and is really a real awesome student to have in class. He also really loves sitting in the front of the bus. And is just SMART as can be. We are so proud of him.


Jared & Lindsay- Jared and Lindsay have been married about 4 ½ years. They still live in West Valley with the 3 kids. Kayla- Dakota and Ashlee. Lindsay is at home taking care of the kids. Jared still works for the LDS Church at the Distribution center. He has about 8 years of service working full time in his current position. They love their family.

Eric & Marilyn- mom and dad are doing well. They will be celebrating 33 years of eternal marriage on January 12, 2011. Dad was unemployed from his last position of almost 5 years at NPS. But, I’m happy to report that in May 2010- he was hired as a flex officer/security officer for Wakenhut security now known as G4S security. They are doing well. Mom and Dad will be turning the “BIG 60!!” Next year. What a wonderful milestone.



Heidi- I turned 29 this year and will of course be turning the “BIG 30!!” next June. I am looking for a job and also in the process of meeting with financial aid and doing testing to go back to school. Hope to have that all completed and have it done by the new year. Wish me luck and keep me in your prayer’s.


We love all of you so very much and hope you are doing well.

Please do not hesitate to keep in contact and also if your ever in the area don’t be stranger’s and call us and come and visit.

Trunk or Treat

Wednesday night October 27th was trunk or treat in our ward.
It was fun. This year we did something different instead of having the soup dinner we usually have and everyone making soups to share. We had chili dogs. Jared and Lindsay and Dakota, Kayla and Ashlee came out to join the fun. However after awhile Ashlee was done and was not having any part of the festivities. Aww well maybe next year. She will be a little bit older so we will see.

Happy Halloween everyone and enjoy the show!!!

More Updates

Eric talked with his people at work. Here are some updates he had planned and been working up at the Chevron Refinery for the past couple of weeks. That has now changed to him until further notice working on assignment at Liberty park mostly afternoon shifts.
We are still hoping and praying that his company succeeds in getting a couple of contracts (new ones). One of the company's they hope to get a contract with we are very hopeful that everything with this venture of getting the new contract goes through and doesn't fall through. If all works out right work with the new contract/and project will begin in about a month.

We love all of you and we want to ask for your continued prayer's in Eric's behalf and in behalf of our whole family that things will work out with "what's in the works" at his work. And that his work and shifts won't completely end and stop. Also that Heidi and i will be successful in finding work and opportunities to make money as well.

What is the best weekend

So we are planning a Surprise Birthday Party for Heidi next year in 2011! Shhh she is turning 30! we want everyone to come and i am trying to find the best possible weekend. I have created a poll so please vote in it.

Thanks

ERIC'S JOB and UPDATES...

There has been alot or some changes with Eric's job lately. It all started back in September when the hours have been starting and progressively been getting cut back. It hasn't been to bad so far.

Earlier this week and the end of last week we have been getting informed that they (GS4/WAKENHUT) may loose Chevron as one of their biggest contracts and clients they have here in Utah. Well that has officially happened. Eric will be able and has recieved a "Permanent/temporary" position working at the Chevron refinery up in North Salt Lake for the next month. It will be "Swing shifts". And in a Month hopefully his company and employer will have been successful in picking up another Contract and client or maybe two. Otherwise who knows what will happen in a month's time.

We want to ask for all of your prayer's for Eric and our family. That things will not get bad and that his employment will be preserved and things as far as work, shifts etc. will improve and that his company will be successful in recieving the contracts they are seeking. If you all could keep us in your thoughts and prayers from now till further notice this would be much appreciated.

WORK

I hesitate to write this as i do not want to come across as Begging for anything from anyone.
Eric and i were talking and in our discussion he informs me that his company may loose one of their "Big" Contracts that being Chevron. However his company is hoping and working towards getting a couple of new contracts and clients one of which is Pacific Corp and he also is trying to apply for another job within the company (as i understand it.
If i am remembering things right they are trying to get 2 or 3 new contracts/clients.

So i want to ask all our friends and family for their help and that being

If you all could keep Eric and our family in your prayer's and thoughts- pray that his company get's and achieve's the contracts they are trying to get and that Eric's job will be preserved, and that he will be blessed to hopefully get hired internally for the position he is/will be applying for. And that Heidi and i can also find job's and opportunities for work.

That would be great...

Work this week...

Eric and our family has been blessed and he is fortunate to be able to work this week Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday- these are afternoon shifts. Shifts at Liberty Park. However these shifts will be "going away" soon so that will most likely result in decreased hours more. But, we are greatful for the work he does get now.

WORKING GRAVE YARD'S- NEXT TWO NIGHTS

Eric will be working Grave Yard's tonight and tomorrow night. When he get's home from work tomorrow he will be sleeping of course. But, at least it's work right?

Praying he has work next week and all the weeks after. One week/day/hour at a time right ?

Eric get's work today...

While out and about today. Eric calls my cell phone and informs us that he was called and he is/was able to go and work today. With work slowing down (at least as far as Chevron for the most part is concerned). We are real excited and greatful for any and every work he get's and even though the schedule may not be preferred we are greatful when he get's to work. We hope and pray and hope all of you will do so with us that the WORK picks up again and stay steady like it was when he was hired. We want to ask for all of your prayer's on behalf of our family! we love all of you so much you mean alot to us as our friends and family.

Eric's Job...

I am experiencing mixed emotions right now. This afternoon after Eric went to work i get a call from him and he notifies me that his hours at work has been drastically cut back. Basically right now he will have hardly any if any hours. He will be only working when he is called. This is due to there being more employee's than work. For all intents and purposes we as a family are back in the unemployed state and he is back to "Square one" as far as looking for a job. And i will be now looking more actively as well as Heidi.

I feel anxiety wondering how ends are going to be met and bills are going to get paid. I fear desparation will set in and fear of loosing our home.

We love all of you and want to ask for your support and love and prayer's.

Dancing Merengue Dog...

I recieved this link to this real fun and cute video from my friend Rakell!

I watched it and loved it. I want to share with you all.

The Granger High Class of 69 Village People..

Saturday my High School graduating class had a Summer Reunion and Birthday Bash up at Granite Park. It was a whole lot of fun. And Jeff Gygi one of my classmates and friends was the Entertainment and what a wonderful job he did.

We did the YMCA and here are the village people.

Teacher's AIDE ???

Heidi here... Mom got a job tip she will be looking into thanks to our awesome bishop's wife. Thanks Sister Harrison.. "Rumor has it" that there is a Opening for a teacher's aide at Stansubury Elementary out in West Valley City- it would be a position monday through friday and 20 hours a week. Which is as mom would say a perfect job for her. Will keep you all posted.

Final Paycheck...

Today i recieved via direct deposit my final pay and a bonus from my service and job when i did the census. As some of you may know Friday i lost my job so today for me was payday.

I know totally random but, just thought i would share...

Training at work...

I think i may have forgotten to mention that last week Eric (my husband) took a test in regards to a upcoming or potential and possible job opening coming open at work. He passed the test. He had the day off today however went into the office for a few hours to take more work related courses. So hopefully everything with that goes well. We as a family really appreciate all he does and him working hard for our family.

We love you Eric!
