Vacation time is over

We have been waiting for an answer back from one of the Marketing companies James interviewed with and the answer came today he starts on Monday. James is a working man again after being a student for two years. We are going to be here in U*. We are really excited to be here with family again.

Horse Parade

My mom and I took the boys to see the horse parade. They loved seeing all the different types of horses.

Canyon Fun

My family went up to Little Cottonwood Canyon the other day. We were celebrating my dad and brothers birthday. I have really missed being around for our families outings and spending time with them.










My brother in law Nate got this really fun game that's called lasso golf. I think the kids had more fun running around with the balls then playing the game.















If Kaeden or Jakob look like this when it's time to go home we know it was a good day at the canyons.

ITS THAT TIME OF YEAR

It's that time of the year
for the red white and blue
They stand for freedom
in all you say and do

Show off those colors
for all the world to see
Fly them proudly over
the air the land and sea

We celebrate the birth
of our blessed country
It surely is indeed
the land of the free

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!

Happy Birthday to my best friend

I wanted to wish my best friend Audrey a Happy Birthday. Audrey was my best friend in H* and I miss her a lot. We have so many things in common at times it was scary. I really miss are date night swaps. And most of all I really miss being able to just sit and laugh with her. She is a very good friend. Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!

Still waiting

I need to vent a little about how frustrated I am about the work world. We are still waiting for job acceptance and I think I'm going crazy everyday that passes. Well we are still here in U* with my family. But I can't understand why it takes companies so long to come back with an answer. Do they not understand we are in a hurry. Well I feel a little better. But for the positive side of it all I have been able to spend alot of time with family.

My youngest sister is married

My sister Kelsey got married on June 13. We are very happy to have Nate join our family. He fits in perfectly. Congratulations you two.
