Eric's Alaskan Fishing Trip!

This is a pix of my sexy hubby and his cute little bro showing off their catches of the day in Soldotna Alaska where they spent a week doing all kinds of fishing and exploring the sites of the glacier state. They even got me to eat the fish they brought back and I liked it!

Back In The Rotation!

For all of my beautiful family and friends I am letting you know that we are alive and well, if not however, extremly busy as always! A fire has been burned under me to get my blog updated!

I just went to grab the camera and Eric has it in his truck...so pictures will have to wait. Although, I will say that all of you who know us well will have to agree that we are very much "ripple" people. By which I mean- whatever you do creates a ripple; whether it be positive or negative is up to you. One of our dearest friend sent this to us and Eric recently used it in his sacrament meeting talk that each of us can provide service and create our ripple. I will warn you though--it's a tear jerker.

Our New House!

It's Ours!!! We got the house and we close on December 21st (if not sooner). We are so excited that we can hardly contain ourselves! Yippee!...so, if any of you have some extra time on your hands on Dec. 21st and 22nd, we'd love to have your assistance with our move!!

House Hunting!

So, as most of you know, we have been seriously looking for our new house the past few months extensively. We believe we may have found the house. I took some pictures for you to view and let me know your opinions.

I believe...

I believe…that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.

I believe…that no matter how good a friend is, they’re going to hurt you every once in awhile and you must forgive them for that.

I believe…that just because someone doesn’t love you the way you want them to, doesn’t mean they don’t love you with all they have.

I believe…that it’s taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.

I believe…that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.

I believe…that either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I believe…that money is a lousy way of keeping score.

I believe…that sometimes when I’m angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn’t give me the right to be cruel.

I believe…that it isn’t always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.

I believe…that no matter how bad your heart is broken, the world doesn’t stop for your grief.

I believe…that the people you care about most in life are taken from you much too soon.

I believe…that life is more precious than money will ever be able to be.
