Where does time go?  It seems the older we get, the faster time passes by.

Last year was a really horrible year.  I mean sure it could have been worse, but it was really tough.  I personally am happy to say au revoir(bye) and move on.

What is the saying...what doesn't kill you makes you stronger???  How very true!


Anyway here we are,  in the middle of May 2015...first blog post of the year.  Ya, I'm once again calling myself out as a total and complete slacker.  But when we fall, we need to get up and try again right?  Right.

I've struggled with what to write about, but knew I just wanted to write.

So, life has been a very interesting one the last several months.  Richard and I have made a lot of different plans, that have ended up changing several times.  Life happens, and so we adjust.  We continue to pray and trust that the Lord will help us to know what direction we need to take.

Richard and I are pretty excited for August and November of this year.  We have never been on real vacation before.  I mean I love all of my Idaho-ins, but I want to go somewhere new!  So in August Richard and I will be going to Oregon.  We are going with Fred and Jer, and also Richards Sister Jen and her husband Chris.  So...the 6 of us are renting a beautiful beach house and will spend the week taking it easy and enjoying the ocean.  Just a short walk down a hill and we'll be right at the beach.

HEAVEN


Then, mid November we will be going to Disneyland!!!!!  Seriously I have waited for this day for SO LONG!  I have never been to Disneyland and I am ridiculously excited!  Richard and I will be going with our awesome friends Dan and Amy.  Seriously, we are going to have a blast.  I will be just like a 5-6 year old child that walks up to EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER...gives them a hug and takes a picture with them....OH YA! haha :) 

Anyway so we have some exciting things to look forward to.  Now that Spring/Summer has stated to peak it's way around the corner we're also going to start camping which we are SUPER pumped about!

Anyway,  Once I have something more interesting and profound to write about, I'll keep you posted.

Love ya and toodles,

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...

By -
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
