Date Night!

James and I don't time to do date night very often because of work schdedules and other things going on. We recently went out and things didn't exactly pan out the way we wanted but we got to spend some quality time together. We need to take more time to do so. Maybe its just because we took time to make it a date rather then just "hang out" that made the difference but it has been alot of fun lately. We have gone to movies, the temple, sat and talked for hours, made dinner, cookies and have been reading and many more things. Its been fun.

E.I.S.F

Fair time means, lots of food, lots of walking, lots of people, and again lots of food......This was the first year James and I were able to go together and it was alot of fun.

09-11-01

Today is a day I will never forget 8 years ago where I was and what I was doing when that fateful day changed so many lives and caused so much sorrow and grief for many around the globe but here on our American soil. It was beyond any comprehension any one could have imagined. It started a tail spin of many events that have affected so many lives, a few in some good ways but many more in horrible ways. I don't want to ever forget.

Thank you to all those that have served and will serve in many capacities to save lives, make lives better and safer.

Labor Day

I wasn't sure what to post first from the last week so Labor day is first. There wasn't much labor around our house this weekend, James was able to take the weekend off it was really nice to have him around. (OK James did clean the garage, so he labored a little) First to start the weekend I about peed my pants, seriously thought I felt a few drops, I was so scared. Friday night at 11 pm as we were settling in, well James was already in slumber land and I was soon to join him when the door bell rang. Little did I know that when the door bell rang what was waiting on the other side. I scrambled to get James awake who slowly stumbled up stairs because I was in no condition to answer the door. Seriously who rings someones door bell at 11 at night. James barely able to function not even realizing he is answering the door, I am crouched down behind the wall and the door opens, I sink even more when James doesn't say anything but open the door and slowly step to the side. I thought for sure someone was standing there with a gun or a cop. But oh no, no gun no cop but my sister and mom step in. I started to cry (it was late people) and just fell into my mom's arms. There is just something about a mom and their hugs that make everything you are thinking and stressed about go away. Karl, Ellen and their family came over from Boise to visit as well so it was double the fun.

We had fun with our new surprise guests, we played games, ate food, enjoyed one an others company, harvested things out of the garden, played with the turtle, and laughed continuously. Thanks for visiting!
