Okay, who wants to come for a visit?! I'll send you home with pumpkins, peaches, plums, corn-on-the-cob, grapes, raspberries, red potatoes and tomatoes! Once again this good ol' Idaho soil has given us quite the abundance! Check it out!

Guess What?! I'm Alive!
Hey, I've REALLY been missing this whole blogging thing, but apparently there are a few things that are really important to me that were higher on my list! If you haven't given up on me, I hope you're still checking with me now and then and keeping in contact, even if I've been MIA! Here's a few highlights from the past couple of blog-less months:
1) School started! All of my children are now in school, so what does that leave me? Well, smart moms would enjoy this quiet time to catch up on housework, renew hobbies that have been put on the back burner, etc. I guess I'm not a smart mom...I decided to go back into the work force. I am now working full time as a secretary at the elementary school...hmmm...750 kids+1500 parents+45 faculty members=1 crazy office chic! I have a greater appreciation for administrators and teachers, I tell you!
2) Church callings! You know, if anyone ever tells you that being the Primary President is much easier the second time around, don't believe them. Oh, and if anyone ever tells you that running a Primary with 50 kids is easier than running a primary with 180 kids, don't believe them. But if anyone ever tells you that Primary is the BEST place to be, believe them!
3) Temple Celebration! Wow! What a crazy, but amazing time this has been! I was a counselor in the Young Women program before this Primary calling and goodness gracious, what an awesome but busy time it was getting ready for the Twin Falls Temple Youth Celebration! If any of you have experienced one of these, you know how time consuming but amazing it is! The Open House was amazing! Brian and I were able to serve as ushers, inside the temple, during this time and Briana (who is now a YW!) was able to serve in the temple too, putting footlets on those who came through. President Monson, President Eyring and Elder Cook came for the Youth Celebration and for the Dedication! It was fantastic! And we now have a temple in our midst! Yippee!
4) Growing Girls! Yes, that's right...I'm officially OLD! My oldest baby is now a Young Woman and in Junior High, my middlest baby is dashing through 4th grade, and my youngest baby is now in school! Oh, that reminds me...I haven't posted from Briana's birthday! It was in July! Crap!
Well, that's just a quick summary of the past month or two, so hopefully I'll "get bloggin'" again! Just so you know, I really DO check your blogs weekly, I just haven't taken the time to post my own! I swear...I saw all the awesome pictures on my sisters blogs from our family reunion...I saw that retarded picture on Catrina's blog from our High School days...I read the frustrating car problems on Karen's blog...I saw that Angela had moved oversees to take on the Philippines...I see that my cousin's blog is now private and I can't get on it...see! I do check yours, and now I'll go and check them for this week! Adios! Hope you haven't given up on me!
