New Beginnings...

Wow, how silly I feel! It has been SEVEN MONTHS!!! Sorry! It's funny because so much has happened in the last 7 months! Last year was a year full of MUCH stress...and business! I don't know why, but I just really wasn't in the blogging mood. But I am now!

Last May Richards brother Matt was put in the hospital and almost died, BUT he is totally fine now and is happily married! It was a really great year, as far as being able to travel to Idaho and visit family their!

The holidays were fantastic! It was so much fun having Ione(Richards mom:) here, to spend Christmas with us. It was a blessing to have her with us.

This year is going to be a good one for Richard and I, I just feel it! We have set so many awesome goals as a couple, and personal goals as well. This year is a year for us to accomplish them and to grow together. We're both super excited.

I am also SO EXCITED because March 30th, is my Mission Reunion in Utah! I have been home from my Mission this month...for 8 YEARS! Do you know how OLD that makes me feel???!! I am so excited to see my Mission President, and all of the other Missionaries that I served with, it is going to be an AMAZING experience! We will also be able to stop through Idaho on our way and way back home to visit family their, so all in all it's going to be great.

Our Renos have been put on hold totally. Not just because of lack of $$$, but also we have other priorities that come first...so that's the update their.

Believe it or not, we just got snow 2 days ago! It was been such a mild winter so far(besides the horrid wind), so it's been a treat.

I am thankful to my Heavenly Father for blessing me with another year with my sweet heart. I am thankful to Heavenly Father for all of the blessing that he gives me, all of the time. We have a nice home, a roof over our heads and we are so blessed with good families and health. I am grateful for my Savior, and hope that through this new year, I can allow the Light of Christ to shine from me, and be able to serve and help all of my brothers & sisters as he would have us do.

I have a new calling in Church-I'm the Relief Society Chorister, and Richards calling is the Assistant Financial Clerk. He's good at it! Me? I have insecurities. Last Sunday was my first Sunday leading the music, and I felt a TOTAL DORK! But it'll get better....crossing fingers!)

Life is good, we're happy and healthy...and working on becoming even healthier. I promise to start updating the blog weekly at least with fun and exciting things that we are doing.

later sk8er!

Magrath Days...

Well, as usual I've waited a long time to post something. Nothing really new or exciting has gone on, so I use that as an excuse I suppose. OF COURSE it's not a good excuse, but I use it as one none the less. Yest., was Magrath Days, and it was super fun! The parade was great. We sat with my parents and the Towells. After that, we had a nice lunch at my parents house, where everyone in the fam. was their. I was able to participate in something really fun in the afternoon. Back in November, 2008 our young womens class did a time capsule where we wrote letters to ourselves. Our teach at that time, also made a video of us during one of our activities. I must say, I was SUCH A DORK! But if that's the worst thing I can say, then I'm doing pretty good right?! Anyway, it was fun to read the words that I hoped for myself. Unfortunately, I didn't say much. But there were a few things that I did say, like : always treat others kindly, always love my family and sta

Six Months...

I sure wish that I was better at this...but here I am 6 months later...oops! Well it was a super busy summer.  We put off doing any renos in our house and did outside renos.  Our project this year was taking down our old fence, and putting up a new one.  We unfortunately didn't get everything else done that we needed to. I'm sure we could have gotten the other projects done if money (which seems to ALWAYS be the problem right??!)   hadn't have been in our way! But oh well..I'm thankful that we got as far as we did.  This past week the weather started to get super cold, so I think that we're outta luck for finishing up anything else for outside this year. I am really excited.....because this is my favorite time of the year.  Richard and I make our Halloween Costumes every year(at least this is the 4th year) and it's been so much fun. This year we're dressing up as Mario and Princess Peach.  It's going to be great.   So we've got that on the
