Trip down memory lane


My friend came down for Steve Bowman funeral. We are both friends with Amy. She stayed her for two days. It was a big treat for me. We talked and talk about everything. Cody gave me all of Monday off to spend time at the funeral and time with my friend Meredith. After the funeral, we went to the cheesecake factory for cheesecake, yum. Then just talked. It is so nice to see your friends. Since they move a way, some times you think you will never see them again. It was a delightful weekend. She is a very specail friend who has taught me alot about laughter. She will always have a special spot in my heart.

We have even plan to get together next summer in Nauvoo. More memories to create, fun, fun ,fun.

Family update

We have been really busy lately. I'm looking forward to thanksgiving break. It is always a time to relax. Also we get the house all decorated for christmas.
I want to say how proud I am of Dylan, my oldest. He is half way though recieving his Merit Badges for boy scouts. He has done alot in the last year and half. He wants to get his eagle by his 14th birthday. So we are helping him out as much as we can. He should finish up with 3 more in the next 3 months. He is a hard worker. He is getting good grades in school and seem to know what he wants.
The other kids are great too. The give me such joy. This time of year I want to spoil them with christmas gifts, but we have to be smart with our money and buy wisely. Lets just say for now that there won't be much under the christams tree. Santa has a big surpise for them.
I hope this time of year finds everyone in good spirit.
