Arizona

Well it definitely isn't a good time to take a vacation money wise but we had this trip booked almost a year ago so we figured we really could use some time away to "regroup". We went to Scottsdale, Arizona for a full week in the timeshare and had a blast away from reality. We spent a lot of fun time as a family and celebrated Koby's 6th birthday! It was hard to come home, but even coming back to hard times and uncertainty I realized there is still no place like home!

Getting settled in and feeling at home..

Steve's Last Day of Work!

Wow.. it's hard to believe it but Steve had his last day of work last Friday!! He started working for Hansen Insulation in Lindon, Utah when he was 15 as an installer. He still worked there when we were married and in January, 1999 we had an opportunity to move to St. George, Utah where Steve became a salesman for Gale Insulation, the sister company to Hansens (since being bought out by Gale) This was a huge leap of faith (especially on my part!) but turned out to be an incredible experience for our marriage and family. Steve has had the opportunity to work for an incredible boss, and along the way have some great men come in and be close friends. It is very bittersweet but we are getting ready for our new road to travel! I went into have the final farewell with his shop and had to embarass him with some snapshots!
