Just got home from Idaho Falls. We had a fun, eventful, emotional weekend. The emotional part of it will stay in my head cuz there just isn't a way to explain it. As for the fun and eventful, the kids had their primary program and we had commited a few months ago to being there so Danaca could sing a solo. She was amazing. She didn't seem nervous at all and sung so beautifully. It made me cry. So sweet and innocent.

Saturday was the wards Super Saturday and so I went and help my friend Jen (she's incharge of our Super Saturdays and she's amazing at it. So stinkin' crafty.) Got to visit with some people and then we went home and hung out. It was great to see everyone!! I miss you all again, already. Sister Belnap gave me a jar of her home made hotfudge (which she knows that i'm addicted too) so that I could have a treat on the way home. It was DELISH !! Who needs ice cream.

AND...I have to admit that I'm a complete idot. Apparently this move has been harder on me than realized. When I was leaving Idaho I went North on I-15 instead of South and didn't even catch it until 45 minutes later. Jim was a LITTLE bugged (ok. it was more than a little) because I made him late for his camping trip. OOOOPS!

Now I'm back in Logan and Jim has taken the kids on the family "reunion" deer hunt for three days. I hope their safe and have a great time. They were all excited to go camping.

Catch ya next week!

I've decided that Sunday is a great day for updating. Or in other words... writing in my journal. hee hee. Mandy we are ALWAYS excited for visitors. I would love to see you. It's been to long cousin.

So for starters, can I please have my Lincoln 5th ward back!! Nothing against the great people in the Maple Valley 2nd ward. My new Bishopric is like 18 in age and maturity. Ok, well that's probably a little harsh considering I don't know them. I think it just makes me feel old. Kindof like when you go to your doctor, someone who you are suppose to trust with your life and in walks this kid right out of med school. What kindof life experience does a Bishop have when he's like 14? Not much, but I gues that part of trusting the Lord is also trusting that he is in that position because that's where he is needed. I just really miss my ward FAMILY. My support group and the people who have been with me through the hardest two years of my life. They know me, they like me and I want them back.

I want my neighbors back!! I'm sure there are nice people around here, but you don't realize how much I relied on great neighbors for support and entertainment. Especially late at night when I'm bored and need something to do. I guess I'll have to just keep reading and enjoy the solitude. :)

I suppose it's time to update my blog. So much has happened and I don't know where to start. We sold our house in Idaho Falls (which was a tremendous blessing.) The family who bought our house had been looking to buy in our ward for quite a while and just as we put it on the market they wanted to buy it. The flip side of this blessing... because there is ALWAYS a flip side... is that I have left behind some amazing friends, neighbors, co-workers and the best ward we've ever been in. It was more like family to me and during the toughest two years of my life, they were there with comfort and support and love. I know I can find that anywhere I go, but I will truely miss them.

We have moved to Logan, Utah again and Jim is the General Manager for a restaraunt called the Beehive Grill. A fun concept and good food, not to mention some yummy gilato. Mmmm. I think I will go get some today. It's pretty tasty.

We've moved into a dinky three bedroom apartment and put most of our stuff in storage. There is a lot to like about this place... a pool, weightroom, playgrounds, year round hot tub, club house to host scrapbook parties, etc. There is also a lot to not like... it's tiny, up three flights of stairs, not as clean as I'd like, and did I mention that it's small???

I will start working at the Kohls here in a week and I am actually nervous. ?? Not really like me, but I've lost a sense of security in the last couple years and I can't seem to get it back. When my kids went to their first day of school yesterday I cried for them because the looks on their faces said... "Mommy, please stay with me." They did have a great first day and are off with no reservations today. Thank goodness I have pretty resiliant kids.

There is a lot to like about Logan and in the past we have enjoyed living here. There is a beautiful view of the temple right outside our apartment window. Beautiful scenery, an Einsteins Bagel, Carls' Jr., indoor ice skating, close to family.... and so much more that I can't think of right now.

We are planning to build another house if things go well in the next year. That should be fun!!
Gotta go get ready for the day...
