Visit from the Hale Family

Right before conference weekend we were able to visit with a family from Kevin's mission, Mike and Lisa Hale. Kevin helped Mike get re-baptized while he was on his mission and he worked with Lisa trying to get her baptized but she never did while he was out. Kevin found out a few weeks ago that Lisa decided to get baptized! Her baptism is November 1. We're working on getting Kevin a ticket so he can go to Florida that weekend to attend her baptism.

It was such a fun visit with them. Kevin was really close to them while he was in Florida. Mike and his daughter actually came to our wedding reception but we hadn't seen him since then and Kevin hadn't seen Lisa since before he left Florida after his mission. It was a sweet reunion for all of them. :)

I loved getting to hear all their stories about Florida and some pretty funny stories about Kevin I hadn't heard before. They only visited us for a few hours but we were able to squeeze in a lot of fun. I closed my office early and we headed up to take some pictures of the temple. Then we went to dinner at a really good mexican place. Then we went and gave them a tour of the BYU-Idaho center. Mike thought it was really cool that its close to the size of the conference center auditorium (only like 6000 seats smaller).

We visited for a while after the tour and then they headed up to St. Anthony to their hotel. The day after they were going to start touring through yellowstone for a few days and then head back down to Salt Lake for conference weekend.

Here are a few pictures I took while they were here:








It was a quick visit but it was so much fun getting to chat with them. They are very close to Kevin and it was so sweet getting to see them together. 

Until next time...

Third Time's the Charm..Maybe...

Last week as I sat down to go through some emails I remembered this old blog and got sucked into reading through past posts. I smiled, cried and laughed as I read through my memories over the last 4 years. :) It was crazy to read through and think about how much has changed over the years and how much Kevin and I have experienced together in the 6 years we've been married. My last post was from March of last year after a visit to Iowa. I could kick myself for not keeping up with this blog because last year was packed full of some of the greatest and hardest experiences of my life. Highlights from over the past 18 months: -We had a graduation party in Idaho for Kevin April 2017 and he officially graduated the following July! It felt so good for him to finally be done. He worked SO HARD and overcame some major obstacles and set backs.  -After Kevin walked in April we did a big trip to Utah and Iowa with Shawnii after watching her graduate with her Masters in Communication Disor...

Mid-Week Happenings/Ramblings

This week has gone by sooo slow. I woke up this morning thinking it was Thursday. Rude. Anyways...Here's some random happenings/ramblings from the past week or so... Kevin is anti anything Christmas before Thanksgiving...I'm the complete opposite. We've compromised. I can listen to Christmas music but cant hang any decorations (my pinecone and snowflake garlands don't count) until the Monday before Thanksgiving. I can live with those stipulations.  We made a goal with our friend G to not eat out at all this week (we may or may not have an addiction to midnight runs to McDonalds). We've survived so far.  Last night we finally watched the movie, "The Fault in Our Stars". Holy hannah. Ugly face cry the whole time people. It was so sad but so worth it, minus the random f-bomb.  I attempted to make homemade french fries for dinner this week...oh deary...Lets just say I wont be using that particular recipe again...or attempting to make fries again a...

March Travels Part 3: Iowa

We were home in Wyoming Sunday night, Monday, Tuesday then Wednesday Mom. Dad and I left around 6:30 am for Denver to pick up Lizzie from the airport (she had been a school trip to New York for the 6 days before then).  After we picked up Lizzie we began our drive to...IOWA!!!!  We were all very happy to have Lizzie back! I was no longer the lone backseat rider. :) We stopped in Des Moines for some ice cream...it was the perfect pick me up for all of us. Mason City was just a couple more hours away!! We got to Mason City around 10 pm. The kids stayed up for us and it was the best getting their tight hugs when we walked in. Oh how I missed them!! Kayleen and Jackson asked me to lay down by them (just like old times when Kevin and I lived there). It was the perfect ending to the day! Thursday we all slept in (even the kids!). We spent the morning relaxing and then Mom, Lizzie, Anna, Kayleen, Jackson and I went out for some shopping. Mom bo...
