OH THE IRONY!!!

So- we have had a strange week! On Friday- I came home to find a car sitting outside our house, and I got a feeling that they wanted to look at our house even though they drove away.
I came in and finished cleaning and sure enough later that day- our realtor called and said someone was interested.
Here is the catch- it is the gov'ment and they want to pay us to rent the house out to one of their military Navy recruiters. He seemed to be nice, ex-member of the church so I was able to do a little missionary work and I feel really good about him and his family being here.
Do I really want to move? No! especially since we would have to be out in 2 weeks! The irony is the fact that I had a purpose in my life! Going to school, Parker finally in May coming off a waiting list that he has been on since he was 2 weeks old in order to get services thru the state! He has a buddy that comes 3 times a week for two hours and teaches him sign language, and school study skills and just be his buddy. Now everything could change! Not sure if Im so happy about it but is this the answer that Heavenly Father is giving us? Of all the homes to choose from- why ours? We will let you know!

Back to School





It is that time of the year again and I am so torn! I LOVE having my kids home this summer because we had a terrific time but at the same time, now that they are all in school I can get a lot more done around the house! Okay- so theoretically, I should be doing a lot more but taking it slow for one week has been nice! Tonight I went to the Temple to be with my sister in law Emily. Her and her husband took out thier endowments today. I sure did need to go as I have been so restless about my life. Drum roll please...........................................

I have enrolled at Dixie State!!! Thats right- its back to school for me too!

We will have to see how it goes- I have registered for 13 credits. Not sure how that is going to work with being a mom, and Adam going out of town.

Go Rebels! (these are pics of the kids first day of school- after Makenzie went to her first day of 6th grade we took her and her friends out to celebrate at DQ)

Party like a Vamp!




So as you can see, we were quite a group and the envy of all with our cool shirts! This is our "Charlie" and he was more that happy to pose with the likes of us! The excitement was in the air- that was for sure! So now- I am ALMOST done with the book and I gotta say- I called the imprinting thing with Jacob!!! If you did too, before you read on let me know! Gotta go finish cleaning so that I can get on with the final few chapters!

Worth the Wait?



Fo Shizzle! What a fun night! We started off at Barnes and I gotta be honest- it wasn't that great! My feet are sore from walking around doing the "hunt" and it was hot, and there were people EVERYWHERE! We did get our picture taken with a security guy who we were calling "Charlie"- that was pretty funny. Some guy who was an "Edward" wannabe posed with us for a picture too and was he weird! After we spent all that time finding the questions to answer (40) and then answering them my friends decided they wanted to leave to go to LP.- We get there, and the party is pretty much over. So I decided to leave and head to Wal-mart and honesty that was way fun! Who knew?

While in line I met the cutest girls and we had fun chattin away, AND the best part is Wal-mart had prizes for us all! I got a trailer dvd, a button, and a sticker sheet. Everywhere in the store was so pumped and so excited! Even better was the price (13.68) and the fact that you didnt have to pre-buy ( LP was selling them for 22!) and you didn't have to have a bracelet and pay 25 to join the book club just to get your book for 16( Barnes).My friend Shelly ened up joining me there and so thankfully the night ended good.

By the way- like my shirt? Not sure if you can see it that good but when my friend Andi gets a sec she will send me a group shot of us and then you can see the shirts better.

Looking forward to doing nothing but reading! Enjoy and good-night

About Me

My photo
Adam and I have been married now for 14 years! To make a long story short- we met at the end of June, had our first date on July 4th, and were married on Sept 1, 1995. All I have to say, is "it was in his kiss." Adam is now a regional manager with Vita-mix. It has been a great blessing to have him here at home so that he can witness his children doing and saying all the fun things they do. We love where we live, but really do miss living close to both our parents and siblings. We have so much fun when we are all together and I am so lucky to have 4 fun loving wonderful sister in laws,lots of friends and 4 amazing BEST friends to hang out with. I know many of you will find this shocking but one of my best friends is my mother in law! I know that I can call on her at any time just to share a good laugh. She has given me the best thing a woman can give away- her son. I know- grab the tissue, I'll wait. Seriously- I love life and above all I am so grateful to know that MY FAMILY IS FOREVER!
