someone from the past

I don't know what to title this but yesterday I was given an opportunity to see an ex-finance of mine. Yes believe it. For those of you that know me know's who that person is. Just to claify I don't have feelings for him and I forgave him a long time ago of what he did when 3 weeks before the wedding, yea I know crazy. Well the other night when I saw him it reminded me of the times that we had togther i know that life moves on too. It was good to see him again i was nervous and kind of not sure what to expect but it was a good thing in the end. Dinnner was good his wife was really nice and it was good to put a face with a name. I know it seems really crazy for me to want to see him again the thing that i thought was cool is that tom was the one that totally mentioned it and wanted to meet him so i was a bit taken back by it. All in all i was glad to see that ryan is doing good and that life is good for him. I have no ill will towards him or what happened between us in the past. I have lived and learned and learned to forgive as well. I could'nt learn to love someone else with out learning to forgive so there was no sense in dwelling on the past. Im happyily married now to a very wonderful man and the past is in the past im looking more towards the future and all the possiblities! Anyways thats my post i was a bit nervous about writing this cause i know i will probly get flack back from family if they read this but you know it dose'nt matter to me.

We love are family

There was too many pictures so I made a slide show to share the fun that we had. On Saturday night we had the opportunity to stay over night at my sister's house. Tom and I and the kids slept on the tramp. That was fun to say the least we all kept warm due to everyone sliding to the middle. Then the next day on Sunday we went to church with their family and Carl's family and Desire'e's and I's family came over to celebrate Kelty's birthday which was July 7th.

Cherish every moment even if it is small!!!

Well the 4th of July is over and done and like some of my co-workers have said that once the July 4th is gone then it just goes down hill from here for winter to come. Which I don't think so. I love the winter time and the snow but I love the summer too. It was a different 4th of July for Tom and I because for the past 9 years I have worked with Dave my cousin in the TNT Firework booth and Tom has been the last 3 years. Well he had all the help with the Fireworks this year so I spent it at home in Victor, Idaho. I ended up bringing my brother back with me on Friday night and then my parents came up Saturday night and we had a BBQ with my Aunt LaRue and uncle Franics. It was fun sorry no pictures of that night. We were able to watch the fireworks from all around us. Then we shot off some of our own fireworks. Well that was our 4th not too exciting. We have been just working and working.

In about 6 days Nate will be home from his mission. YEAH it is so exciting to see him. I can't believe that it has been 2 years, where has it gone. When life gets busy it goes by fast. I have learned from things in life to not take it for granted because you never know what might happen. Life is too short to pass by things such as family and friends. Love those around you despite the differences you may have. Cherish every moment even if it is small.

Dont Give Up On Me

Hello there, Don't give up on me since it's been a long time since I have posted things just have been crazy and working and the sun shiney has made it hot way too hot but I have a post on it's way of our family camping trip and an update on our lives.

I am glad you waited.....Camping what fun

Whoo I have finally got pictures from our camping trip which was June 26-28 To say the least Friday night was late and very interesting to say the least. I got into a shouting match which Tom thought I was going to go over and get into a fist fight with one of my brother in laws. I know that we aren't suppose to fight but love all those around us but uggghhhh. Any who reason for not blogging eariler was that I was waiting for pictures from my too younger sisters to post but oh well I will just post what I have. It was fun to camp with all my sisters and their families and mom, dad and Joseph. We went up to a place near White Owl and Moody Meadows just south east of Rexburg. Pictures say a thousand words so just enjoy.



Cooking and having fun with the family.

Carl, Shad and Tom decided that they were so hungered for dinner that they couldn't wait for chuckwagon beans, cowboy cavier, fruit salad and other things so then they decided to fix some hamburgers secretly. OOppss they got caught.
