Santa Monica Pier

Monday, October 8
After getting the laundry done, Marv and I decided to take a walk along the Santa Monica Pier. We first ran acrossed a restaurant called Bubba Gump Shrimp which reminded us of Marcie, the grandkids call Bubba. The weather was beautiful and totally enjoyed sitting on the pier watching the waves. At the end of the pier we saw a crowd of people watching a fisherman catch a 8 foot shark. We also enjoyed eating a churro and thinking of how much Megan loves them. Later in the day we met up with some friends and enjoyed a dinner out, spending three hours just laughing, visiting, and eating.

A MIRACLE...


October 10, 6:09 p.m.
A light plane has gone down south of the town of Promontory in Box Elder County. Two people were trapped inside the plane, which was upside down. Rescuers took one person out on a stretcher, but both people survived. Turns out this was Andy's parents, Arlie and Andy Bjorn, Sr. Thank goodness both are doing well and were discharged from the hospital later that same night. Andy said the engine just stopped. He called FAA and said Brigham City airport was 11 miles away, he knew he wouldn't make it. He tried to land but the nose just dived down causing them to flip three times and land upside down. Dirt got inside and packed in tight which caused him not to be able to move. Arlie was able to move to her side and scrape some dirt away. They heard an airplane circle around several times so knew help was going to come. An hour later some mining workers came to help and lift the plane so Arlie could get out. Both Marylyn and Andy were pretty upset and broke down during their evening family prayer. Their daughter, Annika put her arm around Marylyn and said "Tats ok mommy, I take care you".
