Phone call...

We were almost out the door to go to work this morning (like at 6 am) ... and my phone rang and it was Dustin! It is always so good to hear his voice and know that he is doing well. Technology is so amazing... that we are able to get a phone call from a far away place! We're so excited to know he will be coming home soon... to his ol kentucky home and all his beautiful girls! A great BIG thanks to him and all the military serving us!

Fall memories...

I just love fall... and fall is wonderful in Arizona... but fall is absolutely great in Utah. So I have been remembering that a year ago this week we were in Utah enjoying some crisp fall weather and beautiful colors and festive decorations. Here are a couple of pics from last October since it was BB... before blogging for me. These were taken at one of my favoritest places... Gardner Village. Sigh... this year I have to be content with Arizona fall... sigh again...

It's that time of the year....

It's fall time.... and you know what that means.... Yep.... CARMEL APPLES! I made some today and we gobbled them up! Really easy to make.... just follow the directions on the Kraft carmel bag, then roll in you favorite stuff (we like chopped nuts) and then to be fancy drizzle on some melted chocolate. Way yum!

Craft Night!

Friday night was another great crafting night with all the girlies! We made holiday blocks with scrapbook paper fronts. This was a very fun easy fast craft. Everyone was creative... we made Boo, Eek, Gobble, Thankful, Thanks... I know I'm gonna make some more. A great BIG thanks to Mike for his great woodworking skills and being on call for our special orders! And thanks to everyone that brought yummy food and snacks... girls can't craft without food... that's just a fact!!

Another step closer

Brandon took a big step closer to his mission Wednesday night and went to the temple. He looked sooo nice dressed in white ( I really want to say cute, but I'm holding back!) Mike was his escort and family and friends joined him. It was a very sweet experience and everything went smoothly.

We lingered for a while at the temple to enjoy the moment, so it was very late when we went to dinner. Well... late for me and Mike... but we made it! The whole evening was great! And.... as I have been known to say on many occassions.... Life is good!

Welcome world

Well.... OK.... I'm a little (LOT) nervous... but I am finally getting brave, coming out of my comfort zone and allowing the WORLD to see my BLOG. So ....Welcome everyone. I hope you enjoy. Now that I'm comfortable blogging and I think I've worked out the bugs ... I hope to BLOG (I use the word BLOG a LOT... I just love it!) more often and offer some good/entertaining/crazy/newsworthy/interesting/fun/thought provoking or just maybe plain ol regular....... STUFF! So, feel free to leave a comment, but be kind.... cuz ya never know when I will just crawl right back into my hiding spot!
