Better Late than Never

Not sure how to add more than one picture and make them look cute, but I wanted to show a few of our carving experience tonight!! Someone please tell me how you make those cute collages, and how do you type words on your pictures??? We have had these pumpkins for several weeks. We did not want to carve too early because they would rot. Madi carved hers as soon as we got them, and it did not make it a week. So, here we are the night before Halloween carving pumpkins. Madi was updating her blog, so she did not have time for this activity. Randy was taking the pictures. The pictures are not in order, but you will see our pitiful art skills, but we had FuN!!!

SCARY!!!!

I guess I need to post about our Friday night experience since both of my girls have posted about it on their blogs.

Randy called me as I was on my way home from work on Friday. He said he wanted to go to a High School football game. We have some friends that have boys that play, so I called her to see if it was a home game. It wasn't, but she said we could ride with them - really far - to see the game. It was a blast by the way!! Thanks Steph for letting us go. :) I have to say Steph's family is great. I just wish they would adopt me into it as the "9th sista away from her own sistas". Come on guys - I have blond hair. I could pull it off!!!!

The team did not WIN, but that really did not matter because we had an eventful night anyway.

On our way home from the game at 11:30 at night, we saw a guy driving on the wrong side of the freeway right next to us. He would speed up then slow down. We watched him for a little bit with total anxiety thinking that every car heading his way was going to hit him head-on. Cars were swerving to get away from him. We started dialing 911. This guy was hitting the median, and continuing on in the path of oncoming cars. Nothing seemed to be stopping him. Obviously something was wrong with him because no one goes head-on into traffic at full speed. Finally after what seemed like forever, we saw the police coming and shutting down the freeway. They were stopping all cars heading right to this guy. I luckily think no one was injured. I do not know what happened after the police showed up, but I am grateful that no one was harmed that night.

My Sister's Wedding

YOU LOOKED BEAUTIFUL TATUM!!! MISS YOU AND TIFF BOTH. :(

I just was able to view some of the pics from my sister's wedding . I thought this was a good pic of me and my sisters. We don't get to see each other very often, so it was nice to be able to be there with Tatum on her special day. It was a beautiful day considering Hurricane Ike was making its way up the coast. The day after the wedding - 50 mph winds hit where we had had the wedding, knocked out power for days, and tore down many things in its path. Tatum got lucky!!!

Tatum has moved to KY, so all three of us are in different places now. Tiff lives in Georgia.

I know what ya'll are thinking - they have us placed in line of age with me being the youngest, right??? Just kidding Tiff and Tate. I am the middle of the three girls. Tiffany is the oldest and Tatum is the youngest. I am the shortest by far though. Since I have a birthday around the corner, I have to sneak in any chance to make myself feel younger. I can't believe how old I "am" getting.

Treasure your family!!

I just sat here forever reading a blog that I love to read, but also get sooooo sad reading it. Many of you know the Kamber blog. I knew the family briefly while we were in the same Ward. I am truly amazed at Jen's faith and strength. She inspires me to be a better mother and wife.
It makes me really think about my own life. I just got off the phone with my husband in quite an angry tone. He needed my help with something - which his projects are always a lot of work - but should I be so rude about it, NO??? I sat down and read that blog, and feel like I should call him back because I was so rude. You never know when someone is going to leave your life. Yes, he makes me angry, but I love him more everyday. Would he treat me that way?? I will have to say, probably not. My mother always told me that patience was not my finest quality. Boy, did she peg me right!!!! I feel like at night when I say my prayers I am asking Heavenly Father to help me with the same thing I messed up on the day before. I am so grateful he loves me and knows my heart.

NEW TO BLOGGING

Ok, after many people asking (or telling) me to start a blog - here it goes. I have told everyone that I never have time to blog, but for some reason I can always find hours to read other blogs. I can't guarantee that we will be good at this, but I am going to give it a shot. Hopefully this will help me with capturing all those everyday life situations that occur.
