Oh the memories

On Mon April 22nd we said goodbye to a long time member of our family, The Honda Accord. She was such a good car to us. My first memory of her was when Rick picked me up for a fancy date with rose petals leading from my doorstep all the way to the car door. He borrowed it from his dad that night so he could propose. It was the most amazing date ever! After we were married, I remember how excited we were when we traded in the old sky blue Pontiac to purchase this NICE car from Rick's dad. Before kids came along, I remember driving her from Chicago all thru the night to Riverside CA for a summer sales job. After kids, I remember cramming 3 car seats in the back after having our 3rd child and hoping the door would shut. THEN, I remember cramming our entire family of 5 in her and everything we needed to live for a summer, and embarking on the drive from Provo to Boise. With things literally stuffed in every nook and cranny, we about went crazy on that trip. We vowed to return to Provo in a minivan, and that we did.

Yes lots of good memories you gave us little Accord. Hope you like your new home!

To sum it up

To sum up the last 9 months... We went to Disney World and Universal in March with Rick’s family. It was a BLAST! Favorite part was Harry Potter world. Favorite ride was Rockin’ Roller coaster, or Hogwarts castle, or the Avatar ride.  Rick and I coached track March-May. It was fun but stressful. I like doing something for the community. I don’t like running a program w my husband and not enough adult help.   Kids finished school in May and we went on a camping trip Memorial weekend to St Joe State Park with our favorite people, Richardsons. Some other ward families came too. Marcellino’s and Smith’s.  Summer hit, Soleil got baptized, and Rick got a job offer to work for Cricut in Utah. Finally a job closer to family! We spent three very stressful weeks prepping our house for sale and then took off to Utah driving both our cars on July 13th.  The following week we vacationed in Lake Powell with my family. After coming home from that we settled into Heather’s basement ...

2019 is my year to Be Prepared

Last year I decided to make a goal that involved one phrase, no guilt. That phrase stuck in my mind all year long, and guided me through a lot of situations. I found by the end of the year, that I really had changed because of those two words. In all the years past that I have set goals, I have set very specific reachable things. I always find that a few months into the year my motivation drops off and I don’t follow through with the goal. By the end of the year I either feel disappointed in myself, or I can’t even remember what my goal was to begin with. Last year was different in a very good way. So I’ve decided to do the same thing this year. After pondering and praying about what my goal should be this year, I came up with the phrase be prepared. There are so many ways to be prepared in life, spiritually, physically, temporarily, etc. I find that a lot of my stress on a daily basis could be remedied if I had only spent a little time before hand to prepare for that moment for that s...

Golf date

We went on a group date Friday night with our best friends here in St Louis, Wilson’s and Richardson’s. We went to a new place in Chesterfield called Top Golf. We ate yummy food and visited while we hit golf balls off a platform. It was the first time I had ever hit golf balls in a real way, aside from miniature golf. It was harder than it looks. Everyone had fun and I came home sore.
