I am having such a great time in Utah! Sunday I went to Temple Square with my sister Debbie and her husband Frank, we also met Daren and Berit there. We listened to Music and Spoken Word in the tabernacle and the organ was beautiful. We toured the confrence center and then toured Brigham Young's home. The wedding of Brandon and his wife Amber was wonderful at the Oqurrah Temple, I met the Frye's there and thought it was a tender mercy from Heavenly Father to see them there. We had lots of parties here at Doneens house, Sunday we had a big dinner that Doneen cooked and it was wonderful, we celebrated her husband Alan's birthday. So much fun on my vacation and I leave early tomorrow morning for Alabama.

My parents had their 50th wedding anniversary party at my sisters house in Provo, Utah and it turned out really nice. A lot of family were there and my parents looked great. We had cheesecake and a cake that had strawberries and cream, it was delicious! It was so nice to be with family again and to see everyone! Alan was working hard on his backyard and it looks wonderful. I stayed with my brother Dion and his wife Summer and today I am with my younger sister Diane and her husband Ryan. It has been great weather here so I try to take long walks in the morning. A cool breeze and beautiful sunshine. Diane's house is also very pretty and I like to get ideas about our house that were finishing.

Well I just booked my flight for Utah! Should be a nice vacation for me as well. I will love seeing all my family again, especially my dad after his scare with a heart attack episode. I will stay for the week and return Tuesday afternoon, hopefully the weather will be good for traveling. It's rainy today, but we need the rain for our vegetable garden. The house looks cool with the insulation in the house. You can see where all the different rooms are. My kids sure do mess up the house and I clean a lot but the house stays messy! It will be a nice break to go on vacation. Hopefully the kids and Jeff will be o.k. without me there for a while. I also will be off work for a little while.

Well it's Saturday and trying to get some house cleaning done. I brought the 1996 honda accord that my parents bought new when they lived in Wichita Kansas and it has been doing pretty well lately with great air conditioning, so it's been fun to drive. It acted up a lot in Saratoga Springs, Ut but so far it's doing great. My daughter Lauren will be turning 16 the 1st of July so she will be getting her drivers license soon and has been practicing on our land with the honda. She loves the car and wants to own it. For now I said we can share it. I will probably be flying to Utah soon to go to my parents 50th wedding anniversary and my sisters oldest son is getting married that same week. Should be a lot of fun seeing everyone again! Jeff is working on the house and will be starting insulation soon. The kids are out of school and we go to the lake a lot and swimming. They also like to come to the library sometimes and stay inside the air conditioned house. I go to work this afternoon part-time for Olan Mills portrait studio.

Well it's been a while since I posted anything. We have had so many adventures since we moved back to Cullman, Alabama. The kids are finally out of school for the summer and we have been visiting the lake close to our house a lot. The kids love to cool off there because it gets so hot and humid here. I like to stay in the air conditioning when it gets too hot. Jeff is working on our house and is doing a lot of it himself so it's taking longer. I'm not sure when we will be living there. I'm ready though, because our house has so much stuff in it and it stays cluttered. I'm ready to be organized and have space again. The tornado weather hasn't been to much fun, but I'm glad we still have a house to come home to. It sure does make you think of what is important. I'm working part-time at Olan Mills so I get to talk to a lot of people and thats been good. I met a 101 year old lady today. I have been struggling with panic attacks and anxiety so that has been a bummer and not too fun to deal with at times. I want to start putting pictures up again but we might have to wait until we have internet back at home. I use the library for now, so I wont get to write as much.
