First Weekend in Vernal

After driving 18 hours in the Uhaul we finally got moved into our new home!!!  It was so nice of all of Ryan's Sisters' and their husbands to help us unload and get everything moved in.  Even after the soccer games and softball games they came back to help Ryan get his stuff out of his storage unit....lets just say it was a long night for the boys!!  We couldn't have done it without all their help!

It would have been nice to rest and relax after all that, but the weekend was just beginning.  Ryan's work was having a Yard Sale on Saturday as a fundraiser for a little boy with eye cancer and a dad with terminal brain cancer.  I guess it all worked out because we were able to donate quite a bit of furniture and clothing that we wouldn't need in the new home.

After spending some time at the Yard Sale we had to drive to Heber to pick up Ryan's NEW Truck!!!  He was so excited.....and so was I!  He is pretty happy with his new ride!

And now....its time to relax and enjoy my new jetted tub!!

Final Weekend In Arizona.....

Ryan flew down on Friday May 14th and we spent the weekend packing and having some final fun in the sun before we loaded the U-Haul and headed to Vernal. Ryan and I were able to sneak in a little golfing at my mom and Larrys Country Club and had an awesome time! It was the first time Ryan had been out golfing this year and it was my first time in about 5 years. We both played pretty well considering how long it had been and more importantly had a great time together. We took the kids out to dinner and bowling on Monday Night (Family Home Evening) and they loved it! Ryan was frustrated because I beat him but I told him he had better just get used to it! ;-) The kids had a blast and I have to admit as a family in general we aren't too bad of bowlers.We had a really good final weekend in Arizona! The next step was not going to be as fun but we are excited to get us all moved to Utah and start our life together.

 

Thankful....

As most all our family is aware...we are working hard to be able to bring Briyana with us to Utah.  We have so much going on in our lives with the wedding, the move, and the custody battle.  If it isn't hard enough to have a long distance relationship alone, we have all the other things going on.  I continue to put my faith in God and know that whatever happens is in his plan.  I also, am so thankful for such a wonderful family and support system.  Thank you Ryan, for everything you do for me and my kids.  You have been so supportive and understanding through these last few months.  I also want to thank your family for accepting me and making me feel so welcome and part of the family....that means so much to me!!  I am looking forward to the move to Utah and starting our new beginning in Vernal.  Please continue to pray for us and especially Briyana. I can't wait for Ryan's family to meet my wonderful children and them to be included in his wonderful family.

Branding Day 2010...

Okay let me start off by saying I am soooooooo NOT a cowboy but this happens once a year and I buck up and get it done! I can't wait until next year when Brandi and the kids can be up here for this. They are gonna love it! Who knows I might even buy Brandi a couple of cows and make her a multiple cow woman! Ha ha

1 more Mexico pic...

I left out the best sign I have seen in a LONG time. This was at one of the places we ate in Mexico and I couldn't stop chuckling. I don't know why it struck me so funny but it did! Needless to say, we weren't in Kansas anymore, Dorthy!

Much needed trip to Mexico!

Okay so anyone who knows me by now has heard about my fall at the Jazz playoff game. It caused quite a stir! So here is the infamous facebook picture that caused all the drama.

The following week when I went down to visit I was still pretty banged up in the face as well as the ankle. Brandi and I decided that we needed to get away just the two of us and spend a little time together and just reconnect. We decided to take a 3 hour car ride across the border to Rocky Point and have some R&R. I have to admit I am a good driver in the states but I might be a better driver in mexico! :)
So we got there and we had a nice little place right on the ocean with a really nice view. We had a chance to walk on the beach and just hold hands and spend some really nice times together.

We had dinner one night at a place called "The Lighthouse" and were able to watch the sun set while we had a very romantic dinner.
It was exactly what we needed to unwind from all of the crazy things that life seems to be throwing in our direction lately! I can't wait to spend the rest of my life taking trips with this amazing woman! Thanks Brandi!
