We're BACK!

Okay, so I'm a bit behind. I love reading others blogs, but then it also makes me feel guilty that I'm not keeping mine up, so this may be a long post! I recently read one that reminded me that this is such a great way to keep up "family history" if nothing else. (Thanks for the reminder, Melody!) I was thinking today about something today. I am constantly reminded about how much our lives have changed since we moved here. So, I came up with a list of some things...



12 things that I'd never be able to do in Mesa:


1. Go to 4 parades in less than a year (I think they just think of excuses of why to have some of them here!)

2. Help Tom load a dead goat into the back of his truck.

3. Milk a goat, and actually drink the milk.

4. Have horses in my back yard.

5. Help Tom load another dead goat in the back of his truck.

6. Pry a dead & charred cat out of my dogs mouth. (Funny story!)

7. Spend lots of time with my in laws.

8. Be grateful for my girls surgery. (wouldn't have happened if we weren't here!)

9. Have cousins as my kids best friends.

10. Have Tom home for lunch every now and then, because he can.

11. Help to build a Temple!

12. Having my mother in law "teach" me that if you tie a dead chicken around your dogs neck, it'll never try to eat one again. (another FUNNY story! HAD to get pictures of that one!)



That's just a few. The list can really go on and on! We are so blessed, and are grateful for the opportunity to be here, even if we have to deal with charred cats and dead goats...it's creating memories!
