GIRLS DAY SHOPPING

Our day started out at 7:00 am. The roads were horrible until the Downey exit. Just past Pocatello, the snow flakes were some of the biggest I have ever seen, about the size of tennis balls. They were beautiful. I ran into my cousin David Birch at the McCammon truck stop! It is interesting no matter where you go there is usually someone else you know. We also ran into an old neighbor at Tai Pan.

We reached our destination Tai Pan (awesome place) about 10:30 am and shopped 'til 2:30pm. Our feet didn't even hurt, the time went by so fast we thought we were there for only a couple of hours! It was so much fun! and we all got some neat stuff!

Before heading home we stopped at

Maddox's in Brigham City. I bought

two pies to bring home for Kristin's

Birthday. Raspberry Cream and

Chocolate Cream....yum!, but when

I got home one of the pies was

Coconut cream instead of Chocolate!

Yuck, what a disappointment Everyone is smiling. My friends and shopping companions Pat & Melanie!

Look at all the "treasures" we found. It filled the back of

the car! We gratefully arrived home safely around 7:30 pm. It was a great day, other than Pat's headache. Sorry Pat!

HAPPY 30TH BIRTHDAY, WENDY

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!......I had a very low key New Year's Eve....went to bed!
Here's 2008 in "quick" review
Marcio visited us from Brasil in Jan.
I was unemployed from Jan. thru May---I loved being able to stay home, I did work part time during that time however.
Worked for a Dr.'s Office from June thru July and then the end of July
Regional Hearing and Balance Center wanted me to go back to work there, which I did.
The summer went too fast and I didn't even make it to Yellowstone or camping this year.
My aunt Marie passed away in July at 100 years old
Sydney spent alot of time in Dr offices and Hospitals, but the last quarter of "08" she has been doing great! What a blessing!!!!
Alex turned eight in Aug. He didn't get baptized so that is a little disapointing, but will hope for the future. In Aug. I was also released from Young Women's as secretary, and put back in as the 1st Counselor.
Dad passed away in Sept. (see earlier blog) I really have missed him and my mom. Somedays, I feel like an orphan!
Oct-Dec went by so fast I am not even sure what happened those months.

And now it is 2009. Jan. is a birthday month for my family

My computer has been ill, as well as myself. I have had to reload everything back onto my computer and haven't gotten it all done yet, just the basics!. I can't post a picture of the beautiful snow we just got. I have been sick all weekend and am very behind with everything! but will hopefully get some more interesting info. soon.

Getting Ready for Christmas

I'm having my work Christmas Party at my house Dec. 4th. Even though the pictures aren't very good, I've been decorating and putting up lights. The little santa boots are party favors.

Old Co-workers......always friends!!!!!

A few weeks ago I got a call from my friend Natalie,she announced to me that all my old co-workers from the Twin Falls BlueShield office was coming to visit me....we had our reunion Nov. 14. Natalie came from LasVegas, Barb Twin, Jon & Kari Boise, and Rick flew in from Salt Lake (he's wife works for an airline) Thanks guys it was great fun to reminisce, laugh, and catch up. Miss you all and the great times we had, and am so glad you took the time to come visit!
