Joe=Mission

I am way exicted and VERY grateful toward the Lord right now.  These past few weeks since my brother Joe sent in his papers for  his mission, they came back saying that they were on hold due to him being 10 lbs to heavy.  Man did I see the happiness and hope in Joe's eyes go away.  Well today is a happy grateful day was that they Stake President email my dad and said that he told the lady in the mission office that he is good to go and that he will work on getting rid of the extra 10 lbs. So right now his papers are in progress again, YEAH YEAH.  I saw Joe today and he stands taler and with more confidence.  I can see in his eyes the happiness return.  I am very grateful for many prayers that have been said, please keep praying.

Weekend with Mom R and Clyde Boy

We had the opportunity of having Mom R and Clyde Boy come up and spend conference weekend with us.  I was fun and we went to Jackson after I got home from work on Saturday and then went to North End Bar and Grill in Tetonia, It was good eatin', Then on Sunday we will just watch Conference and enjoy each other's company.  Have had fun so far.  Hope every's one conference was a spiritual one to all my LDS friends and family.  In conference President Monson annouced 5 new temples to be built.In Jackson, WY, with Mom R and Clyde Boy

I really don't have a title for this post but I am so irriated (pissed off), just the other day I got in the mail a post card from Hymas Image's saying that are photos were ready for viewing.  We actually cancelled that order about 2 months ago, since we had them taken on March 25, 2010.  That is why we had the pictures taken from the post below.  Which are way better since it was what we wanted like being outdoors and such. I have been to professional photographer before and they have never taken this long for photos to come back.  I would understand 6-8 weeks but it has been 6 months that we had gotten anything from Hymas Image.   I know that they have gotten out senior pictures, dances and school pictures like in about 2 weeks so why does it have to take so long for this.  I understand that the owner went away and didnt have much help to do certain things but hello lets not sit on things and take 6 months.  Ok I just had to vent frustration and now I have beautiful pictures that My husband and I love. 

New Pictures

One of my best friends and cousins was so gracious to take some pictures of Tom and I since the 1st set of pictures never got in progess.  Tom was saying that he liked the pictures that Heidi took even more then the the other ones.  So here are a few of them, What do you think?

Wood Trip and Counting my Blessings

<>

<><>

Throwing Logs down to the road.
Dad and Mer and Me

So today I had the opporuntiy to go get wood for this winter.  I went with my dad, mom and uncle Merlin.  It was a fun and hard work trip to Pine Creek Bench near Green Canyon.  So getting wood was fine and we had no accidents of any kind, YEAH for that. 



Well when we got back I couldn't find my wallet.  We looked long and hard in our pickup and in my dad's pickup, in Tetonia(which is where I left the pickup) no luck there.  So my mom and I said many different prayers, my dad took one route and I took another route to see if I had dropped it on the road.  No such luck.  So I came home and my parents drove back to rexburg.  I was sitting here at home and praying hard for an inspiration to come to me or to my mom.  My dad called saying that mom said that maybe it might be up toward pine creek bench were we had stopped to take a potty break and get one with nature.  So I prayed some more and I was determined that I needed to find it tonight.  So Tom and I went back up to Pony Creek Bench area and guess what YEAH there was my wallet were I accident dumped it out of my back pocket while trying to get one with nature. 

This is how we emptied the dump truck, Whew

Palmer's House on the corner of the my parents house

This house has been on my parents corner ever since I have been born.  Pro-Rental bought the lot and now wanted to expand so they let the Madison Fire fighters use the house for practice but before that they had a company come in a remove the asbist that was in the house. The fire was so hot, Joe, Brenner(Joe's friend) and I had to keep moving to the corner of the road and finally Dad and Mom came down the road and we got in the truck and moved acrossed the road to Porter's office supply.  It was a sad time to see the house go and like someone said it was Blazing with Memories, just as the Palmers had made so many memories in that house. 

Picture Overload from Camping

I thought that I would put all these in small, so if you want to see them larger then you can click on the picture and it will be larger. 

So my family and I went camping over the weekend of July 16-18 at Moody Meadows which is south of Newdale. It was fun and pictures say a thousand words.
