Mr. FFA Lives here!



Jace was crowned Mr. FFA this week after a grueling week of competition. He and JaBoe Garrett will be the reigning Mr. and Ms. FFA for the 2010 school year!

Good job to Lyndsey and Landon too! They were fabulous! And their cake was cuter than heck! Watch out next year! These two will be out for blood!!! :)

Caribbean Cruise 2010





I'm back! Looks like you guys saved the crappy weather for me! Thanks! I had a fabulous time in the Caribbean. I was even in the West Indies....that's where my missionary is! No....I didn't see him. We were on totally different islands, but it did my heart good to think I was a mere 300 or so miles from him.

I went in a semi-submersible submarine off the coast of Aruba. Love that island! The license plates on the cars there read "One Happy Island" and I could see why! I can't believe the difference between the drivers in the islands and the drivers in the states. When they use their horns and fingers....they are saying , "No, really, you go first, and how are you neighbor?" When we use our horns....it means something totally different. More like. "How can you be such an idiot? You just cut me off you jerk!" And we also use a different finger....if you know what I mean! :)

We went whale watching in Dominica. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT ISLAND! It's one of the prettiest places I've been! We scored on the Whale watching! We saw three different kinds of whales, and one of them was a humpback whale on it's way to the Dominican Republic to give birth! I'm posting pictures to prove it! It was the most awesome day of the whole cruise!

The food was good, and we had great company! We couldn't have asked for better weather. Our flights were on time and sometimes we got in a little early! The red-eye kicked my butt....but hey! I made it!

Did I mention we're down to 11 days until we have a full nest again? I can't wait! I need to start planning a homecoming party!!!!!

Warm weather...here I come!

I can't believe it! My cruise has snuck right up on me! I've spent all day doing laundry....and trying to dig out the summer clothes! It will be so nice to get away! I feel bad leaving Jace and Lyndsey behind.....but hey! I'm sure they won't take me along after they get married, and someone needs to feed the cows! Kidding! I wished they were going. I told them when I was rich and famous...they could go.

It's going to be busy around here the next little while! Marty and I will be on a plane headed for JFK tomorrow night at this time. Jace will have already taken the ACT test, and Lyndsey will be babysitting!

We are now just 26 days away from Elder Palmer's arrival home! I can't wait to see that kid! I know he's grown several more inches, and lost quite a bit of weight since I dropped him off at the MTC 2 years ago. Where did the time go? I can hardly believe I will be doing the "curb side drop off" in another two years. Why did they have to get big so fast? And when I say big, I mean literally! Josh is 6'4 or 6'5 now, and Jace is already 6'0. Lyndsey and I see eye to eye right now. That won't last long.

I'll try to post pictures of the beautiful Caribbean when I return!
