If you don't know by now we are really spontaneous people. We decided to save a little money and spend a few months in Spokane with my parents, until we move to Nebraska in August. So good bye Las Vegas. It's been too short, but we have loved every minute of it. It's going to be a big change, but change is good. We really will miss it here, but we are lucky to miss the heat of the summer. Next time you hear from us we will be in Spokane!
My friend, Jamie came hiking with me at Red Rock. We had a great time. We hiked a little, the kids played in a fun sandy spot, and we had a fun picnic. We will miss this place and all our friends.
We were lucky enough to take a little trip to Utah for some family events. First we went to see our nephew Lad at the Primary Children's Hospital. What an amazing place of healing and hope. We were glad to spend some time with him and Mark's sister Joy. He recovered wonderfully and got to go home last week.
It was a quick trip so we didn't get to see all our friends but I had lunch with Erica who is so sweet (sadly my pictures didn't turn out), and we got to see Marianne and their sweet baby Eleanor (sorry we miss you Clayton).
And we got to see some of my family too!!! Joe and Mal are living in Spokane for the summer, so we went to help them move (well I mostly chases after Boyce). We loved being with them again. They crack us up. My parents came to help with the move so we were so lucky to spend time with them. Boyce loves his grandparents and we miss everyone already!
I don't know about any of you, but I am constantly doing stupid things that make me so mad. This is a great story I thought I'd share, it's not just about doing stupid things but also a miracle. We have a water-proof, shock-proof camera so occasionally I let Boyce play with it. Well yesterday he wanted it, so I took the memory card out so he wouldn't delete any pictures. So some reason I just held the memory card in my hand for a while even after he was done playing, and took it out to our porch. Boyce came out and I didn't want him to get any idea so I wanted to hide the card. Not having any pockets I tucked it in my pants being held my the waist band. Of course I forget it was there. That evening we took a long walk (1 1/2- 2 mile) in the neighbor behind our place. It wasn't until that night when we went to bed I remember the silly memory card. I was freaking out so Mark and I searched all over the house and what we could see just outside to no avail. I was so sad so lose the pictures I had from our Utah trip and a nice memory card. So this morning we decided to retrace our steps on our walk. About 1/4 of the way into it I spotted our little memory card just sitting so perfectly on the sidewalk! I couldn't believe it! I was so happy. So sometimes things do work out even when we are stupid and careless.
