My 10 year class reunion

Well after a good year of planning and hunting down classmates my class reunion was a great success! We had a great turn out- we had over 100 classmates come! It was so fun to catch up with everyone! Oh and I won a $50.00 gift card to Walmart in our door prize drawing-what a plus! Here are a few pictures from the night.

What we've been up to since the move!

Exploring Northern Utah!

Our first weekend together in Payson we decided to visit Cabela's. It's one of Wayne's favorite stores. We all had a great time looking at the fish in the Aquarium and the many animals throughout the store. We hit up Zupas (a sandwich, salad, and soup joint that many people recommended I eat at.) for lunch. It was really good. We stopped at Ikea, Quilted Bear and Sportsmans Warehouse too. It was a really fun day!

Making Strawberry Jam!

Today we went to the store and found a great buy on Strawberries and I couldn't turn it down! I decided it would be a great opportunity to teach the boys how to make jam. It was so much fun working with the boys and our jam turned out great! We ended up with 18 jars! I am also dehydrating some, I have never done with before but found a dehydrater at a yard sale for $10.00 and thought it couldn't hurt to try I love dried fruit so here we go!

MY TEETH ARE LOOSE!!

So John has been telling me his bottom front two teeth are loose for about a year now...and they haven't been until this morning! He showed me this morning and both teeth are actually loose. He freaked out to say the least! (I wish I could have gotten it on camera) He ran around the house jumping up and down asking if we could celebrate. He started rambling off what he wanted to do to celebrate and asked if we could go to Enterprise...or St. George... or PARAWON (really parawon...what the heck is in parawon?). Anywho all this excitment for his teeth being loose what's it going to be like when he looses them? What joy 6 year olds find in life!!

I will post pictures of his lost teeth as as they come out.

A New Adventure Coming Our Way

On January 4, 2012 Wayne took a new job position in the SunRoc Company as the new Manager of Sand and Gravel up North (Spanish Fork Area). To give you an idea of the promotion - Wayne was over about 5-10 guys, a wash plant and a crushers, Now he is over about 100 guys, 40 trucks, 3 full pits and a gypsum mine. Kinda an exciting jump for him- he said he is excited to start using his brain. He got a nice raise, new phone, new work truck, new office, and a new credit card (this is weird for him- he can just take his clients out for lunch, just a new world basically to get used to). He started up North the next day- His official starting date is the 9th but there were business meetings going on he needed to be involved with so he went straight up. It has been pretty overwhelming for him- there is alot of work that needs to be done up there and it all now lays on his shoulders but he is excited for the challenge and I know he will do great job.

As of moving, we can't yet. Which is making things kinda difficult but do-able. When we bought our home here in Cedar we received a First time home buyer credit of $8000. There was a stipulation that came with the money- we had to live in that home as our main residency for 3 years. Well 3 years is up in May. Since we don't have the money to pay it back the boys and I will stay here until May and Wayne will come home on the weekends. This allows John and Taylor to finish out there school years and my commitment to do the Yearbook for John's school. I also will be able to continue helping with Hollie's fundraiser too. It also gives us time to look for a home up North. So in the end it will be good- just hard through the process.

I am so excited for Wayne to have received this promotion. I know he deserved it and will do an amazing job. Its really hard to leave family and to be leaving Cedar City- it is our home, but I know we can make a new home up North. It is just the next adventure to be facing in our lives. Here we come!
