Here's What the bike will look like!!!

The Best 29 Years of My Life

Yesterday Arlin and I celebrated our Anniversary. He even took the day off! We spent the day in a different way then most probably would but we're different and glad of it!!! First of all we took his motorcycle into the shop. Mind you, it's the same bike that's been sitting in the garage for a few years waiting (and wanting) to get fixed!! We drove it to a little town about 25 miles south of us all the while discussing where all we could spend our day and where we could go out to eat and what we could do.......... We decided on our most favorite spot on earth, a little piece of heaven, our home! We put on our work clothes and started cleaning up our back-back yard (something that's needed to be done forever) ~you'll be proud of us Tone~ We built a big fire and started throwing stuff on! Then we built a cool fire pit. It turned out great and eventually it will have a grassy spot behind it where Grampa Arlo and Grammie Mimi will put the tent so we can have campouts w/ our sweet grandbabies when they come!!! At about 5:30 we went to Whitney's and she gave us haircuts ~thanx Whit~ Afterwards we got back to work. We wrapped chicken in foil, chopped potatoes in foil, and corn on the cob in their husks in another foil pack and threw them all in the fire. That dinner al fresco was better than any I've tasted in a long time and we ate it out by the fire, better ambiance than any Restaurant I can think of ***the stars were even out to add to the romantic atmosphere*** I sure lucked out when I said yes to Arlin. (Way more appropriate to say I was blessed beyond what I ever could have expected!!!) He is the true love of my life:)

My Friend

Look at my friend Mary's blog. http://ronandmaryinman.blogspot.com/ Last Monday
I got to spend the afternoon with her and her mother. It was a great moment for me. We started talking about 2 and all of a sudden it was 7 in the evening!! It was so fun to be with Mary and her beautiful mom. I will always love them.

My Birthday Present

When we were in Utah last, Jennie's cousin April took some family pictures of us (what fun we had!!!) This was my birthday present from Arlo. Which is what I really wanted!! Although he spoiled me in lots of other ways ~ like a new camera ~ Hooray! Here's a little preview. Amazing job April Thank you 1000times

Grant and Ronda are now Mr. & Mrs.

Grant & Ronda got married and Arlo got to perform the service. I love to hear his words of wisdom, he did such a good job! The wedding turned out very nice and we are glad to welcome Ronda and her girls into our family.

It Came, Went, and I'm Doing Okay!

Oh Yeah, I went and did it ~ I turned 50! It didn't hurt so bad. Actually, I kinda like where I'm at. (Except when my nephew thought being 28 was OLD!!)

There's too many good things in my life that I just wouldn't have if I weren't 50! Like being married to this beautiful man for almost 29 years! (Oct. 2nd) My amazing, action packed, fun children and their spouses, with So many awesome memories I would never trade..........
Or having 5 (almost 6) wonderful grandchildren!!!!

Our cool neighbor showed up at a party Arlo had for me. (He's got the gold chain the chest hair, the GQ shades ~perms next~ ???)

All the party animals in my backyard!

A Crazy Week!

This is my first week of teaching Seminary. I have an awesome group of kids and we are studying the New Testament. I thought the Book of Mormon would be my favorite but I have a feeling I'm going to like teaching this way better. The Savior is & was amazing. The most amazing thing I've learned so far (or realized) is that the Atonement is done! It was done before you or I even set a toenail on this earth! Before we were even born the Savior decided he wanted us in his kingdom with him forever!!!
Also, this week I have been working all by myself at the court office. The girl I work with is gone on vacation. I pray I'm doing okay!!!!
One more thing, April has posted some of our pictures on her blog.......hope she doesn't mind me doing this ~ here's her URL ~ Go look at our pictures :)
