The last few months my computer has been acting up. It was a mini Dell and had run out of disk space. Jennifer was able to find me a very good deal on one (Thanks SO much Jen) so I am now back in action. I have lost a whole summer of postings so I'll just catch up and then begin adding pictures again later. I had been traveling quite a bit with my new job, going to trainings. I have had the opportunity to see more parts of the USA, which I really enjoyed. I was asked to apply for a new position and on June 7th I became the new clinic manager for North Country Health Care. I have worked in the health field for awhile and have lived with an EMT most of my married life so I have been exposed to the field in many ways. I also love working with people so it has been something I have really enjoyed. I have spent 50-60 hours a week learning the job so I haven't spent much time in my yard and didn't get time to plant a garden this summer, my poor yard looks like it has been abandoned. But it will always be there waiting for the work to get done. It has rained so much that we haven't had time to mow the grass, then we left for a week-end and it really did look like we had moved out. It took Gary 4 mows to get it back to normal.
It has been a very busy summer and I can't believe that it is almost over. We went to Utah for a family reunion in May. It is always fun to see family members again and I always love spending time with the kids. In July the kids came home for the 24th celebration. I have always loved the 24th celebration. To me it is as fun and exciting as Christmas. Emilee came and stayed for a week with us. We kept Carson after Jen and Tyler left. He had fun playing with his cousins. Trevyn had just begun walking before they came and he really mastered it by the time they left. Emilee and I took the kids school shopping in Show Low. Kyndie had a good time looking at clothes but the boys could have cared less. For some reason I always loved that adventure with my kids so it was fun to go with my grand kids.
We went back to Utah on the 7th of August for Westyn's baptism. It was a very special experience watching him become a member of the church. Watching Dallas and Westyn going into the water to perform that ordinance was a thrilling experience. I knew that this day would come fast. The next thing we know we will be going for his mission farewell. They are all growing up to fast.
Gary and I were also called to be missionaries in the Concho Branch. I loved teaching for 12 years in the Concho School. The people there are very special. We are having a good time going there and enjoying their sweet spirit. I was called to be the Librarian and Gary as the Executive Assistant to the President. As I was driving there this morning, the hills were so green from all of the rain we have had this summer. I felt like I was in a different place, it is so gorgeous. As the summer draws to an end and we look forward to fall and it's awesome colors I am grateful for all the things we have had the opportunity to do. In September I get to go and spend a whole week with the grand kids. I can't wait. If life were perfect, I would get the opportunity to spend time with each of my children and grandchildren every day but I guess that is what eternity is for.
