Abridged Version...

So I am a little behind on posting about our lives. We shall start with last weeks stuff~
Friday Oct 10, 2008
This day will forever be an awesome day... WHY? Mark passed his FAA test and is now a multi-engine rated pilot!!! I can't believe how quickly he is moving along in his schooling! I am very, very proud of him and for how hard he is working so he can complete things before we get hit by another Cache Valley Winter and the lovely inversions that come (bad weather for flying)

The weather man kept telling us we'd have snow Saturday and Sunday, but me being hard headed didn't by into his story. Well I should have because sure enough there was white stuff, or snow yuck!, falling from the sky when we woke up. Had we not been headed to Weston for a fun weekend with the family this probably would have forced me back into bed to think about if I really wanted to face it or not. We took Jessie with us to Weston, I love my sister! Mark dropped us off for our dear friend/sister (more like sister) Becki's baby shower for her new baby boy Hogan. It was so great to see that part of our "family" again! We spent the evening hanging at the house and eating Mom's sloppy Joes (YUM) Than finished it off watching SNOWBALL EXPRESS a Disney movie from the 70's that is now on my top movie list. I guess it was appropriate to wach cause it WAS snowing outside.

Sunday Oct 12, 2008
We awoke to a peaceful morning in Weston to more snow (I think nature forgot its the beginning of Oct) Mark tried to make Jessie feel better by saying it was just powdered sugar that I had spilled, it didn't work. We all bundled up and headed to Weston for Hogan's blessing and than rushed to Dayton to the Families ward so they could fulfill their responsibilities there. We ended up visiting Grandma Nash in the library, this actually a tradition we always visit her during Sunday School. Our cousin Cole was receiving the priesthood in Preston so when Grandma said she wanted to be there we (Mike, Jessie, Mark & I) volunteered to watch the library. We aren't very good librarians, and Jessie wouldn't even sing the madam librarian song to me :( After church we to Mumfords for a family dinner (I love family dinners) Mark and I than rushed to Logan so we could spend time with the Hendricks family too. We had an amazing dinner and Grandma and Granddad's and enjoyed our time playing with cousins and their kids. When we left the snow was still falling, I had to document it with pictures. I had to make the snow man to show that we really did have lots of snow!


Nothing to Exciting on Monday or Tuesday, that I can think of anyway.... Mark might remember something but I can't.

Wendesday Oct 15,2008
(Today) I traveled to Salt Lake to visit my dear friend Natalie. We went to the Salt Lake temple, I kind of feel liking singing I Love to See the Temple & Nearer my God to Thee, just thinking about the wonderful day at the temple. Natalie suggested we go see the Statue of Christ after, what an amazing thing. Next time you are at temple square take a moment and go up and look at Christ. He is looking down watching over us and Natalie put it well "we have to look up to him" I just love the gospel!! We decided to go put our church clothes in the car than go see the Joseph Smith movie, well we sort of misplaced our car so after 20 minutes we decided we were to hungry to go the movie today, but we did find our car:). We are 2 grown woman so we decided we could find our way to Target and get something along the way, not really true, we ended up way lost (multiple times) but thanks to Mom H and her google map skills she found our way for us and gave us directions via cell phones. We finally had lunch/dinner and than a quick trip to Target and Deseret Book and we headed to Natalies house. It was a great day!! I love my Wendsday's with Natalie, sadly today was the end as she is starting a new job on Monday so we are gonna have to switch our US days to a different day of the week, oh well atleast we can do that and not have to stop them.


I do have to say I did make it out of Salt Lake and back to my house with out getting lost once, suprising I know!! Thanks to all of you who helped us when we were lost today! Thanks to my hubby for letting me take the car and go down south, you rock babe!!
Mark also says Monday & Tuesday were boring :)

Looks like fun at your house! Um, Pyper was prety P.O.ed that there wasn't enough show for her to go "Geeing" (skiing). She was doing a little snow dance, be grateful it didn't work! :)

Sounds like you're a pretty busy bee! I can't drive in SLC, I did once and lucky for me I didn't have to take too many roads!
