Hello From Laramie!

By
We decided yesterday afternoon to make a trip over to Wyoming. Katherine is due in a week so I'm going to head over to see them in a few days to help out until miss baby girl decides to arrive. Kevin is going to stay in Laramie while I'm with the Hansen's and come over to see the baby once she's born, then we'll head back to Laramie for a few days before we head back to Iowa. 

We left around 6:30 this morning (of course picked up some McGriddles before we headed out, OH MY GOODNESS MY FAVORITE BREAKFAST EVER!) We pulled into Laramie right around 5:20 this afternoon. Road trips with Kevin are always so fun. Driving through Nebraska is one of my least favorite things to do EVER but driving with Kevin makes it a bit more bearable. :) 

We love getting to spend time with family. Tonight we got to sit down with Dad Fox while he showed us all the pictures from his John Muir Trail Hike (200+miles in 17 days) last month. So many beautiful pictures and so many fantastic stories. It was so fun listening to him describe his amazing experience. We can't wait to see Mom Fox in a couple days!

Here are a few pictures from what we were up to this past week...
 It rained and was windy so it made more leaves fall from the tree and the rain made them stick to the grass and sidewalk. There were SO many leaves. EVERYWHERE. 
I love dropping Kayleen off to preschool. She always wants me to walk her right up to her line. Right before I walk away she'll give me the biggest hug and kiss on the cheek and yell, "I love you FOREVER!" So sweet. Her goodbyes are sometimes long but they are so dang cute.  
This is Sister Shaffer. She's the YW president I serve with. She is so great. The young women and young men were in charge of the ward Chili Cook Off/Trunk-or-Treat last night (Wednesday). Its a pretty big deal to the ward so it was stressful making sure everything was ready. I was so worried we weren't going to be able to pull everything off but everything went GREAT! The young women all helped SO much with the food and games they were in charge of and were so sweet and friendly. The missionaries were a huge help as the dinner started and there were people helping in the kitchen throughout the whole night. There was plenty of food, good company, and LOTS of candy. All the kids were dressed in adorable costumes and there just such a great spirit there. I'm so happy everything went so well! I've loved getting to serve in the YW so far.

It's been a great week and I'm excited for the next week and a half in Wyoming! :)

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

By
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

By
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...

Sum of September

By
My goodness its already October! September was a fabulous, crazy, busy, wonderful month. First up a visit to Idaho... A ll my siblings surprised my parents the second weekend of Sept as an early birthday present for my mom's 60th birthday! We were missing Kevin and Arianna's husband and kids but the rest of us were able to go. My parents were so shocked and my mom cried and cried she was so happy to see us all. It was the best present we've ever given her. :)  It was a laid back weekend just spending time together. We went to a Gentri concert Saturday night,  church Sunday, my mom loves having people to sit with so we made sure to visit on a weekend so we could all sit with her, Danny and Melissa's family left Sunday after dinner, Monday we had a little day of shopping and relaxing at home, and then Tuesday Shawnii, Arianna and I all headed home.  GETTING TO DRIVE LARRY HOME FROM CHURCH!!!  The day after I got back from Idaho I st...
