Another wedding on the way!

Last night, I just heard some wonderful news for my family, my nephew, Shane proposed to his girlfriend, Courtney, on Valentines Day. It is sooo funny because earlier yesterday, I was talking to my daughter, Taylor and I said, "It wouldn't surprise me if Bubba (Shane's nickname) asked Courtney to marry him." And then later found out my feeling was correct! That was a little weird! He recently moved to western Oklahoma, where Courtney is from. He moved to a SMALL town, but at LEAST half of the town is brethren. Unfortunately the town is around 3 1/2 hours away from here, so we won't get to see him as much as we want to. But anyway, it sounds like the wedding date will be May 30th. I am VERY excited!!! I just had to shard my good news!

Valentines Day

I hope everyone had a nice Valentines Day!!! My husband is in Colorado at the moment, but I still got a present from him, he's so sweet! Thank you Ryan!
As for our trip to Colorado, me and the kids are probably leaving this Friday. We don't know if we will get to go to Oregon, it is a possibility, but we can't say if we are going to go for sure. (I sure do hope so!!!)

New family pictures

Hello everyone! I'm back, again. I'm so terribly sorry about not being on in quite a while. But, this time it wasn't my fault. It was my computer's fault. I wasn't even able to get on Blogger. I would go to the sign in page, and it would freeze up. It did that for me for several weeks. Finally I attempted to go to it again, and somehow, it let me in. But... when I went to leave comments, it then wouldn't let me leave comments. So I went on to Internet Explorer and tried to leave comments, and it worked. So it will take me a little while to leave comments on everyone's blogs, but I will definately be working on getting caught up :)

The latest happenings in our lives is: We have had a very mild winter, up until last week, we had an ice storm, and had sleet/snow on top of the ice, so the roads were not so good. But that has since then melted and we are back to normal here. We got family pictures taken where I work, so I got a great discount :) They turned out nice! My mom is finally coming to visit me, she will be here on Wednesday (2/4) and will leave the following Wednesday (2/11). And Ryan is going to Colorado on Tuesday, 2/10. Then me and the kids will be joining him in Colorado a couple weeks later. We are going to be spending time in Delta/Montrose area, Grand Junction area, and Denver area. I'm looking forward to this trip. Unfortunately, we are not heading up to Montana or Oregon :( Sorry to disappoint everyone. We just don't have the money to go up there. I do hope that this year sometime, we will make it up there. I just don't know yet. Time will tell.

Again, I will be leaving comments on everyone's blogs, but it may take me a couple days, because I'm WAY behind again. Until then, hope everyone is doing well :)
