This:
So... I can't really put up any new pics from my camera because I don't have the proper equipment to download them. When I get to Utah I will have to catch you up on the latest pics. (The previous ones are some I stole from Lacey's camera.) Quite a lot has happened since my lasts posts. Randy came from Utah with his Dad, Mike. That was on the 12Th. They along with help from the fam and the Sturgill's, got everything loaded into the truck in about an hour and a half. After that we celebrated with a little combo birthday party. My Dad's Butt day ( As we say in our fam) the 14Th, Randy the 16Th, and mine the 20Th. My Papa Ken and Frankie came from Oklahoma and we ate some grub and yummy cake. The next day Rans and Mike headed back to Utah. It was sad to say goodbye, but this time I knew I would see Randy so0n. So for now Jay and I are transients roaming from house to house. We fly back to Utah on Thursday. We will get to see Cass for a few hours and then we are off.
That:
Right after My Papa Ken came to bid us farewell he had major heart surgery (On the 14Th). He had to get a little "rewiring." Everything looked OK initially. It took him a little while to get a room in intensive care after the surgery because the hospital was so backed up. The next day after surgery we learned that he wasn't doing so good. The next thing we knew he had to have a chest tube and had some sort of infection they thought might be pneumonia. We were all pretty worried. The next day after that he had a fever of 103. I prayed and prayed for him and I know the rest of the family did too. By the next day he was doing a lot better and they were able to wake him and remove the tube. He now seems to be on a healthier road to recovery. He had us shaken up for a few days. I know the Lord has blessed our family... again.
The Other:
So, I am not any further along with my whole book idea. I did get some good suggestions however I can't make up my mind. I think... I will just start with me. I am a notorious journaler.( Is that a word.) I have journals starting from the 7Th grade. I do have a few years skipped here and there though. I guess I just have a lot of thoughts in my head. I figure my kids will want to know what I was thinking at certain points in my life. I know it would be interesting to me to read my parents memoirs. So, I think I will start there and add anything else from my extended fam (grandparents etc.) to my family history records. I know that I am not a great speller, writer or grammar expert, but I do write exactly what I am thinking...unedited. Hopefully that should be good enough until I change my mind about the whole thing.

Random...
Attack of the ABBY!!!!
You never know when she will strike.
Annette
This is a picture of me, Lace and one of the coolest people on this planet. Not so good of a picture of me, but I was holding the camera and it was a little tricky. I was Annette's counselor in the Young women's presidency. She is so amazing. I am going to miss her SO much. Lucky for me she has family in Utah so I will still be able to see her!

A couple of days with Papa and Nana...
Jamison at the park feeding the ducks...
Jay is so good at puzzles. Here are three that he
did at Papa and Nana's house. (My Dad and step-Mom)
Jay is so happy when he gets to drink Root beer...
Birdy loves to pose for the camera. Everyone
says he gets that from me. I know that he gets
it from his Papa. He is the Master of posing.
Jay loves to go to the park. He likes to get really
close to the water. Good thing Papa was holding on!

Utards, Junk and a book
Utards:
Well, I guess I am officially a Utard. If news hasn't spread fast enough or you missed my post a couple back, we are moving! Randy got us a duplex in Springville. I haven't seen it yet, but I really trust Randy in picking something out. He is just as, if not more, pickier than me. I think even if we are living in a cardboard box at this point I don't care. As long as we can be together in one place. I am taking care of things here and I very anxious to get going with everything. The house is pretty much packed and I still have another week. (Out by the 15Th.) I am however sticking around for a little longer because my sister Cassidee is coming home from Wisconsin. I will see her for one day then have to leave. That means Randy and I will be apart for both our birthdays. We are kinda getting used to holidays apart.
Junk:
The one good thing about moving is that you have a great opportunity to clear out the crap. Now, I think of myself as very clutter and trinket free, but I have literally given bags and bags of stuff away. It is amazing how much stuff you accumulate. I am finally get rid of a few things I have clung to for way to long. Random things like a "Sober Grad 99" key chain I had from high school. That's not me. I don't keep things. Normally my scrapbooks are my only treasures. In fact it makes me troubled when people keep things forever. Why would you pack something in a box and not open it for 15 years. What is the point of that. If you really cherish it you will display it in a case or put it on a shelf or something. I can't stress my feelings about this enough. Come on people.....throw it away already.
Book:
OK, so I had this idea that I want to write a book. Not a real book, a book of family memories. I am not sure how to do it though and I need some suggestions. I want to do memories of all the family and what everyone remembers about their childhood. My problem is, where do I cut it off and who is included? It would be great to do my intermediate family, dad's side, mom's side and Randy's family too. How do I put it all together? Or, do I start with me and branch off to what I remember. I was hoping to put it all together in a book and then make copies as some sort of family history for people. I know someone has to have an idea for this...please help.
