OUR NEW HOME

OUR NEW HOME
OUR OLD HOME

Last March we purchased a new home. It took us a year of looking and looking to find this new house. I wasn't wanting a two story home but look at what we ended up with. When we walked in for the first time it just felt right and it was our house. I had looked at this model before and always walked out saying too big but we actually use every bit of space which surprises me. We are glad to be out of our old neighborhood. It was such a worry whenever the High School would play ball behind our house worrying that a soft ball would come through the window anytime and shatter glass all over. It was always stay away from the windows when they were playing. We are glad to be out of there and feels so blessed that we were able to sell it so fast.


We are still in the process of decorating and will take some time to get our new house together.


We hope to be able to be in this house for the next 10 years and then who knows what we will do next. Life is always an adventure. Just trying to have fun along the way.

New Year

It's a New Year and time for the New Years resolutions. Sometimes they get made and accomplished but sometimes NOT. What are my new resolutions for this year. Guess I will have to give it more thought. There is still that old nagging one which is getting in shape, losing weight which everyone wants to do and hopes to do. I guess there is still another year to press on with that one.
What did I do last year that was my successes! Reading the Book of Mormon all the way through and actually getting more out of it. It was a great experience. I learned more this time than ever. Dave and I had a great garden which only consisted of corn on the cob and okra. We decided the corn wasn't worth the water we had to put on it for what we got back but the okra was great. We had tons to freeze and pickle. Probably more than we have ever had. It is great since my family loves it. Great success there.
I helped make many baby quilts. Still have more to do but helped a Daughter work towards her YW Medallion. Almost there.
Trying to be a better wife and Mom. Enjoying my children. Being their friend and enjoying the granddaughters. 2010 should be a great year with 2 new grand children on the way. Should be a great year and thankful for all the blessings of 2009.
