Time Out For Woman

I was able to go with all my sisters and Mother-in-law to Time Out For Women this year.  They all went last year and had such a great time.  I feel blessed to be included this year.

Heather, Me, Heidi and baby Brynnlee, Becky, Amy and Diane

Baby Brynnlee got cut out of the picture so I had to take one of just her.  Isn't she just so cute!

Dinner

Katy thought I brought this bag back for her.  She was ready to go.  Loaded up all her stuff in it and everything. :0)

Wedding Day!

Well, it finally came...


I never thought I would see this day.  I have been crying every since I found out he was dating her and he texted me and told me that he had found the woman he was going to marry.  I was so happy for him.

Gerald has been in the Air Force for 2 years now and I'm so glad he has.  He found Deborah there. 

We were able to meet her for the first time last Saturday at the bridal shower.  When I saw her I just knew that she was perfect for my brother.  Then I talked with her and was even more sure that she was perfect for Gerald!

They had a heck of a time getting to this point but I hope that it was all worth it.  Being in the temple sealing room with them and watching them be sealed for time and all eternity was the best thing in the world!  Having all of my siblings in the temple, in the sealing room and in the waiting room with my kids was even better!

I wanted to share a few pictures that I took of the kids.  We didn't get school pictures this year and with us moving next week we won't be getting any so I took some with them in their fancy clothes.

 Thaddeus Blaine

 Norma Sue

 And I'm going to have to have your help picking which one to use for this little beauty.

Kathryn Kristine #1

 #2

 Or #3

 She is just to much fun to take pictures of now that she lets me.  I get carried away some times. :0)

Here is one of my two wonderful girls together in their beautiful orange dresses.

 My Aunt Kathryn took this one.  It was so cold at the temple and Katy wanted me to wrap her up in my sweater to keep her warmer.

And I had to share this one of my hunny and I.  :0)

Love this man!

Kitty Katy

I had to go to the storage shed to find the costumes and showed them to Katy today.  She had to try them on. I had to take pictures.  A lot of pictures.  :0)

Man I love this girl. :0)

Friends

I have some amazing friends and neighbors.  I was able to go to breakfast with Ryann and Kate.  They are my next door neighbors.  One on the left, one on the right.  I am going to miss these ladies so much when we move!  Their kids too. :0)

Then, on the same weekend I was able to go to dinner with some of my best friends in the whole world!  Jenny and Angela are the greatest and I wish that we went out more often.

Jenny has been with me for so many years that I can't even count.  She has been my best friend since Jr. High and will continue to be forever!!

I am leaving some amazing people here but I plan on visiting often and will always make time for all of them!!

Helping with the Ward Garden

We have had a ward garden this year and it seems like they only thing they needed was help harvesting and weeding.  Sadly, we never helped.  We had our own garden and then with moving...

We were on our way somewhere when we drove by and saw,

There has to be over 30!

Guess they don't need anymore help harvesting. :0)

Well, Here it is

We are going to Wendover.  Nate has been transferred from Utah County to the Wendover section.  We will be renting a house for $350 a month.  The plan is that we will be out there while I attend school.  I am going to USU in January and am hoping to be finished with school in 5 years. 

We are excited for this next chapter in our lives.  The kids are excited and not excited, as Thad tells me.  He is not happy about leaving his friends but he is looking forward to catching scorpions. :0)  See.

We got the call last Friday that someone had finally put in an offer on our house.  Our realtor seems to think that things will go quickly.  As soon as 2 weeks.  At that point we will have 10 days to close on the house.  Not 4 hours after that call, Nate got the call that he would be working in Wendover starting Saturday.  This past Saturday.  He was able to work a final day with his old crew and then he was out the door to Wendover.  He will have to stay in the house for his work week.  Which means that I'm on my own from Friday afternoon to Tuesday afternoon.  Yeah, we will see how long it takes for me to follow him.  The plan was to stay until the house sold or til after my brother's wedding at the end of the month.  Now it looks to be a lot sooner.

I am truly sad to be leaving some of the greatest neighbors and friends that I have ever had.  I am not going to miss this house but I am going to miss this neighborhood.  The kids are going to miss their friends and the boys will have to find new friends at the school. 


So begins our adventure.
