POOL DAYS

I would like to thank Mr. Herst for making beautiful pools of gold, I would looove to swim in that pool. But in the mean time I drive by our apt pool and I drool. I would give a million dollars for the sun to come out and stay out so I can jump into the water and LOVE it! Bless Boise, cause the sun isn't staying out long enough to warm the pool water so I've decided to take matters into my own hands. Im going to join the Masters at the Y and swim with them. It sounds like a really cool program, they have coaches to work on your strokes with you and they give you hour long workouts to run while others are perfecting their strokes. They don't swim competitively, but if it has to do with water that is shark free and if its a group of people I can wear goggles with and a swim cap with, not to mention being in my swimsuit around (blah!), well then Im all for it! Now that you all know about it, I HAVE to do it! So, here's to the Village People, ITS ALWAYS FUN TO HANG AND THE YMCA!

GRADUATION

HE DID IT! It's official, Hyrum had his graduation ceremony and it was amazing!! They Firefighters marched in to drums and bagpipes and it was awesome! Hyrum looked sharp, and I couldn't be more proud of him.

Weekend for Mary

Last week my family got together in Bakersfield, CA to remember my Aunt Mary, my dads sister, who had passed away the week before. Mary had a huge impact on my life. Although I didn't talk to her or visit her as much as I could have, she has a way to leave a mark on peoples lives and it's hard to forget those moments she shares with you. I can't wait to get to know her even more when we all see her again:)
The funeral was amazing. It's comforting to know that our families are sealed together so this is not the end. My dad and his siblings shared memories with all of us that were so fun to hear. I love that about my dad and his siblings, when things could be hard and blue they give us a little humor and happiness to make things seem so much better. Louise, Laura, Anna, Jeff and I sang a song my dad chose called What Is This Thing Men Call Death written by Pres. Hinkley and was also sung at his funeral by the MOTAB. Its an amazing song, promise me you'll google it and take a gander at the lyrics...amazing!
Afterwards the family got together for some lunch and picture taking. IT WAS SO FUN! Now-a-days its not very often when I get to see cousins, aunts and uncles. Ihave such a FUN family! Not to mention the after party posse that journeyed to Dewars to get a little Chocolate Soda Ice milk crazy:)
Anywho, the point of this blog is to express my gratitude for Mary and her great example, for the knowledge we have about eternal happiness (and what is happiness if your not with your awesome family FOREVER), and last but not least...my gratitude for 2 trips to Dewars in my 2 day visit:)

YES PLEASE

The market in Idaho is a buyers market. Hyrum and I have been searching to see if we can find an amazing deal. Looking for a home has consumed my every thought and actions. Here is my #1 pick so far. It's in Star, Idaho. It's beautiful out there!
