It's officially unofficial...

The day of our 18th anniversary...

we 'got' to send one very excited girl

who had waited for 16 years, 2 months, 5 days and 11 hours

to "One Way Driving School"

(for only a small amount of pocket change....$420.00....)

and now I have one excited girl with a driving permit!!!

*So Kurt and I celebrated our anniversary today...

(the couples massage was worth the wait! )

You learn something new everyday....

I learned something about Kurt

that I never knew...

He

has

never

been

to

a

rodeo!

Lucky for us...tonight he had a business adventure...

the Fort Worth Rodeo!

So we went and it was fun as it always is!

(I always love a good Rodeo!)

Our 18th Anniversary

21 years ago

we met in the M.T.C.

as we were both called to serve in the

Italy, Catania mission

where we spent 10 hours a day trying to learn Italian..

(did you know...there are 7 different ways to say "the"...)We dated for 7 months after our missions

and then were sealed in the

Washington D.C. Temple...

18 years later...

I still get butterflies when I hold his hand!

Happy Anniversary !
luv ya...

We have always enjoyed having the missionaries over and sharing a meal, right?

Well, we use to have them over because Kurt and I served missions and we understood the importance of a good meal and because we walked in there shoes.....

Then, we would have them over because we wanted our little kids to see the examples of the missionaries and to feel the missonary spirit so when they go on their missions......

Now........we have the missionaries over because......

there cute!!!

(according to Candice and Caitlyn!)

I can't believe one day goof-ball (spencer) will go on a mission too!

History

I hope he will be able to grab the bull by the horns!

GOD BLESS AMERICA...

Por`tal`es

It's that time again....

Kurt "gets" to go for

three days...

but, that's okay, because when he gets back...

We will get to celebrate our anniversary!

B.O.M.

When you're 8 years old... It's a hard decision to pick the perfect color for your first triple combination Bible/Book of Mormon... These guys were NO help....

ahh... at last, the perfect color....GREEN!

I love date night.....

It doesn't get better than a salad at "Logan's"

and

a new electric heater for our bedroom...

a full tummy and warm toes,

pure love...................!

My most joyous moment...

Watching all the kids as they walk out the door for;

Acheivement Days

Scouts

&

Y.W.

... ... ...

BYE-BYE!!!

(it's a first for us)

It feels like forever since I posted....
for me, 10 days is forever!
I have been busy since the new year....
alot of new and exciting things going on in my life.
6 jobs, 4 kids, 1 husband.......really!
But, it's a good busy and I am blessed that it is all working out and everything has fallen in place!
I love when that happens!

(hint, I'm posting at work right now!)

Happy New Year 2009
