TAGGED!

Okay!! Hear goes...Well 10 years ago Jared was a senior in High School at Taylorsville and Jake was a sophomore. All I was worried about was how many baseball games we had each week, where they were at and how much food we had at home. Also, I worried about the time when fall would come and Jared would turn 19 years old and leave on a Mission...every time I thought about it I would cry and feel sad for me and proud of him. Jake was just starting his high school career and it all was so fun for him...he got into Drama, and that was really fun for him...Baseball, it was all he new up to that point. I enjoyed all the craziness and we all got along! Life moved very quickly after that...Jared went to the Dominican Republic, Santo Domingo East Mission and left in the middle of September. About a year later Scott was made the Bishop and It was just Jake and I after that. Not long after that in November Jake started to date Marissa. I remember one night when Scott came home from church Marissa was at our house and they hadn't been dating that long and Scott said, I really like her the best so far! and I said, that I did too!!! We are so grateful that she came into our life.

5 Jobs that I have had:
The very first job that I had was when I was 16 years old and I worked as a maid at one of the Red Lion places in Missoula Montana...the 2 job was at the Red Lion Banquet rooms at the Edge Water Restaurant and Convention Center in Missoula. I was one of the waitress that worked with large group of people...we did parties for all kinds of things such as Weddings, Business meetings. It was fun and I made alto of money! Next when we moved to Wyoming after I was married the Branch Pres. was a dentist and asked me if I was interested in learning to be a dental assistant? Well you all know the answer to that ? was Yes! I have worked for Dr. William K. Hansen, Dr. Jon Manwaring and Dr. Scott Ferguson.

I just want to say Thanks to Marissa for helping me with the up date on my blog...I am so not up on all this cool computer stuff. We just had a fun "Easter Saturday" with the whole family...even the dogs...they had a fun time together also.

Ready for Spring!!!

Finally it is March...can I just say that I have had quite enough of winter, snow, cold. I'm hoping that we will have more sunny days than snow this month. I did go snowshoeing on Thursday and It was really beautiful up at Brighton. I have some pictures and as soon as I know how to put them on our blog I will. We didn't have to wear gloves or hats and the snow was starting to get a bit soft, but still very beautiful.

Scott and Lee put a new roof on the garage this week and it looks very nice...good job Scott!
