Forgotten Carols

This year has been very trying for the Staff at work so when we were able to obtain tickets to this seasons show we leapt at the opportunity. This year we took Mayleen and Alesha. We laughed, cried and felt a great feeling of love as Michael McLean reminded us of the love and true meaning of Christmas.
Every year when attend I have a different feeling and a reassurance that my heavenly father loves me and hears my pleas and cries. Sometimes that answer comes to us in the form of music. Music that touches our souls.

Happy Birthday Hoho

Pops this year got the family tickets to see Scrooged at the Desert Star Playhouse. He called ahead so they'd announce her birthday at the end of the show. It was fun to be together as a family and make new memories together. The nice thing about the Playhouse is that you can eat while you enjoy the show. We've been lucky enough to make some special memories for our birthdays.

  If we've learned anything this year its that making memories with the ones we love is the most important in life. Just because we've all grown up and have our separate lives doesn't mean we can't still make family memories.

 

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving this year was very small and quiet. Phillip had to work. Davy and Becca went to Eagle Mt. to be with family. So it was just nine people. It's the first year without grandma so it was a very quiet. We've had a rough year but had so many blessings this year. Now we're coming into the Christmas season and I look forward to family traditions and memories.

Cast OFF

Six grueling weeks since my left foot has seen the light of day! The podiatrist gave me a brace to wear for the next few weeks. Its tender but I'm excited to see what the next few weeks will bring.

Garth Brooks

When I was six years old Heidi won tickets to see Garth Brooks. I wanted to see him so badly. There was no way an eighteen year old was taking her six year old kid sister to a concert. So I stomped my foot and told her I'd never speak to her again. Throughout all this Heidi promised me that someday I would get to see Garth Brooks.
 Flash forward to September twenty-five years later. This gal almost forgot that temper tantrum. Heidi's face beamed as she stated, "Garth is coming here on tour and we're getting tickets!" So it just so happens that he was doing a show on Halloween.

Best birthday ever! Here's to a great year as a thirty one year old.

Allergy Test

I went and saw the ENT because my primary doctor has been worried about my constant ear infections. The ENT did hearing tests and found out I'm right on the boarder to pass on my right ear and just above the boarder in my left. This chickadee just barely passed. They decided the next round of tests would be allergy.
  I suffer from extreme seasonal allergies every time the seasons change. They hoped maybe it would help keep me from loosing Moore hearing. The results are my poor arm above.... the ENT told my to opt for the serum. This way I wouldn't have to come in for a weekly shots. So after they make up my serum I will be the proud owner of an epipen in case I react to the serum in anyway...

Foot Surgery

As many of my family and friends know I'm not the most graceful of people. My senior year of high school I had my right foot fused. We found out I had loose joints and something wrong with my tendons. They told me I would most likely be back shortly to get the left one fixed. Thirteen years ago that was a four plus month recovery. Being the stubborn person I am I decided to wait until the left was as bad as the right.
  fast forward thirteen years to this summer. I rolled my ankle, and I rolled my ankle bad. I distinctly remember a loud pop as I hobbled back to the van. It never healed right. So by September I found myself meeting with a podiatrist. I had never really gotten an answer to why my feet where the way they where. First thing they did was order x-rays. The podiatrist told me my bones were fine, but there was a small problem. The tendon that is suppose to cushion my ankle joint was nonexistent.
  I thought back to the last surgery and was not excited. The podiatrist insured me the procedure he did could have me up and walking in eight weeks!
