Ok so, the power cord was not the problem :( I got it a few days ago and was so excited to use the computer and it still won't turn on. So here I am again at my mom's. New update: Wes will be finishing up the Upton job today and will be remaining up there in Gillette for about the next three months. He got a great raise to stay, so we will deal. Basically a in-the-right-place-at-the-right-time situation. We are trying to live by faith and the Lord has truly blessed us this last year. So, whatever He has in store for us with this new job opportunity, we will gladly accept. Eventually I will have a computer of my own, this is getting really annoying!!!

A little update

Ok let me fill you in on what we have been up to. I am borrowing my mom's computer again, but Wes ordered a power cord on Monday, so soon i will be back to normal. I feel so lost without my laptop attached to me!! Wes was in Evanston until last Friday. He was laid off (no worries) for 5 days. He is now in Upton, WY. Picture if you will a rectangle (Wyoming), Evanston is in the southwest corner and Upton is in the northeast corner. It is about a nine hour drive from Evanston that he made this morning. He will be there for four or five days and then he will probably be in Gillette, WY, which is about 45 miles west of Upton. So, we probably won't be visiting him on the weekends :( . I have been keeping busy with starting and not finishing a lot of projects!! But the thing I have been working on the most is a huge jewelry surprise. When I get my computer up and running, I will let you all in on the secret!! I am really excited about it and can't wait to share. PS Maren I am glad to hear that you were not in Hurricane territory, I was worried, and with no computer-yikes!!!

Hello everyone! I am sorry that I have been absent for a while. Life has been busy, oh, and my computer is dead. I am borrowing my mom's to write this. It is kinda hard to look on the internet for a new cord when you can't use your computer!! So I will try to get back to this as soon as I can!! Love you guys

Ok I know this is a little crude and I hope it doesn't offend anyone-if it does, I am sorry. But you have to admit this is kind of funny! This is what Riley spelled on his word whammer:

Happy 30th Wes

For Wes' 30th birthday, he and I took a bike ride down to St. George. It was a very LONG and painful ride for me since the longest I have ridden before that was to Orem!! It took us about six hours to get there with all the breaks I needed, not to mention the rain storm we encountered in Fillmore. We pulled over there and waited that out for about 45 minutes. We ran into some more rain down by Parowan and rode through it. It was cold, and I'll tell you what, those nice little rain drops are not so nice when you are going through them at 75 mph! Anyway we finally made it and thank goodness for spa tubs! Our purpose in going all that way was this trailer. We found it online and it was a steal. Our intention was for Wes to take it to Kansas and live in it, now he will live in it in Evanston. Happy Birthday Sweetie!

Trip to Evanston

A few days after Wes got laid off the first round from Wyoming, we went back up. It was a spur of the moment trip and we weren't planning on staying, so we were not prepared. A quick stop at Walmart and the clearance rack covered us for the next day. Wes took us out to Fort Bridger and the wind farm he had been working on. It was very overwhelming. Those things are HUGE. You have no idea how big they are until you are underneath one. We also stopped by the state park in Evanston and checked out the large buffalo, "Spike" and the giant eight-point elk. The kids' favorite part was staying in the motel. We came home through the Uintas, Mirror Lake Highway and out through Kamas. I had no idea these places existed, I have taken Utah for granted! We stopped at Mirror Lake for a few minutes to stretch and let the kids run around for a minute. There were a lot of people there, so we didn't stay long. We also stopped at the Upper Provo River Falls. Didn't know they existed either-but I am glad I know now. They were beautiful.

Some entertainment is all you need for a quiet ride!
