Sunday, August 7, 2011. Jimmy Joe ran the 24th of July marathon in Salt Lake. He did great! He was 8th in his age category. It was a really tough course. Everyone said it was a lot harder than the one we ran last year and he ran this one 15 min. faster! So proud of him! Also for the 24th of July, there was a Pioneer Day Extravaganza at the park near our house. It was a lot of fun with lots of free activities.

This is the first time that I have been on the front page and it was great. Thanks so much, Jay! Wednesday, November 16, 2011. About a month ago I was invited to join The Artisan Group. In my shop on Etsy,. Where did a year go? .

Saturday, April 13, 2013. Here we are, almost six months to the day since Mike left and oh, my poor, abandoned blog. This blog used to be such a great outlet for me, a place to type out all my thoughts and reminisce on fun family outings. Now, it has become something similar to a dusty book on a shelf, loved at one time, but now simply forgotten. I am SO happy that we are half-way done with this deployment. BUT, guess what? Thursday, November 1, 2012. Want the skinny on skinny jeans? Mmm, not really.
