My Prophet

What sadness I feel in my heart at the passing of our beloved prophet, President Gordon B. Hinckley. He is the only prophet I remember, being the prophet of my generation. He was the prophet that signed my mission assignment to Louisville Kentucky. President Hinckley was the prophet who helped my testimony grow into what it is today. In a very real way I felt personally tied to Him. As the world continues to get more turbulent, it was He, that remained positive all the while encouraging us to be better children of our Heavenly Father. What a great speaker He was, and a sense of humor to boot!

On the flip side, how grateful I am that He can now rest. What a sweet reunion He must be having with His wife. My prayers are with His family, that comforting peace may be with them.

I will miss Him.

Sitting Pretty

I could not resist! Here are some pictures of Izabelle showing off her new trick.

Ok....so kill me...I'm Behind!

Chad has been mentioning on a daily basis that my blog needs updating! Well here you go Hubs!

I cannot believe what a busy fall/winter we have had! I have all but forgotten to blog about our many adventures. So here are some highlights from the last few months.

-Chad got his dream Jeep in November. He has yet to "pimp" it out to his standards, and has lots of dreams to come. It has been fun to have a 4 wheel drive vehicle that is roomy enough for the family. We have been jeeping in Moab, Meeker, and Idaho so far. I remind him everyday "Merry Christmas, Happy Birthday and Happy Father's Day...Just look outside!".

-Izabelle is growing like a weed, with personality to boot! We laugh at her all day! What joy she has brought our marriage and family. Man does she love to eat! She will have nursed, eaten baby food and still thinks she needs to eat whatever Chad and I have. Her favs lately are pickles, bread, and bananas. She is all over the floor getting into whatever she can, and nearly crawling. We love her more than words!

-We have GREAT tenants right now, all boys and NEVER home! As many know we have had some SERIOUS plumbing issues (putting it lightly). Well...I am please to anounce...the plumbing is offically fixed. We have not had any backups now for 2 weeks! Woohoo! Old houses come with lots of charm but, a ton of work. I am grateful that my husband can repair most everything (time permitting). He is my Hero, the last few backups he would't even let me help clean up the mess. Points in heaven for that Hubs!

-I am offially no longer a loser! I have finally made some girlfriends! It has been since highschool that I had any good girlfriends. It is even better that our husbands get along and like to do the same things. I had forgotten what true friendship is and how invaluable it can be. I thank Heavenly Father for them everyday! You are the BEST Tara and Beverlee.

Well I think that's it. Now to keep it up so I don't get behind again!

Catch'n Up Finally!
