Back to School

Hello everyone!

It has been one hectic week with everyone going back to school and what not. I was able to stay in Lead with my family for a week and spend time with them. I helped Nash move in to her dorm on Thursday. She is going to the School of Mines and Technology in Rapid City. I think she will do wonderful and she has been so busy we have barely heard from her.

I was able to ride to North Dakota with Seth on Saturday and Sunday to see what he does for work. I hated it and was miserable but was thankful that I was able to spend time with Seth. North Dakota was only beautiful in one spot, where you cross the Little Missouri River. Besides that, there is nothing but flat land and hay meadows, which to some people might be pretty. At least they had green grass as opposed to Wyoming. The night was pretty though it was too foggy for me to really see anything. Though it was dark the whole sky was lit up from all of the oil rigs everywhere. There were too many to count. We stayed up and drove all day and night to deliver the parts and finally got a four hour nap at five o'clock in the morning before returning home.

After we reached Gillette, Seth continued on to Casper and I returned to Newcastle to start my classes. I am going to school full time this semester and it will be pretty hectic. My blogs might not be as often as they were before, although I was starting to slack already. I am taking Beginning Swimming- go ahead and laugh-, Psychology, Public Speaking, American and Wyoming Government, and Biology. I know many of these will be hard courses for me because I hate government classes and science classes are difficult for me to wrap my head around everything I need to learn and understand. My biology professor said I need to dedicate at least 30 hours a week to her class if I wanted to pass with a 'c'. We will see how that goes. Because of this, I will no longer be on facebook. If you need to get a hold of me, call me.

Things are also hectic because we are in the process of quitting the hotshot business and moving back full time to Newcastle and the ranch. Our family goal is to move out there full time and not have to come into town for any over night trips. We are hoping this can go into effect when I am done with this semester, or sooner if possible. I will be trying to get my Medical Coding certificate so I can work online from home. It will be tricky while I am going to school to accomplish this but I am going to give it all I got so that our family can live out in the country.

I will keep you posted if anything big happens, but mostly I will try to avoid too much social media. We will see how that goes. Wish us luck!

Beautiful week!

This week has been a wonderful busy week. Seth and I are able to be home in Newcastle and work on the ranch for a few days. It has been quite enjoyable to spend time here and with our animals that we have missed so much!
We started off the week celebrating our two year anniversary. It is unbelivable that I have spent the last two years with such a wonderful man and we quite enjoyed the time that we were able to spend together at the ranch this weekend to remember all the fun times that we have had together. Because we chose such a bad time to have our wedding, (the rally) we spent our anniversary at the ranch, in our home that we never get to actually live in. It was quiet and peaceful, everything that both of us needed.
I was able to ride my pony yesterday! I have only been able to ride her twice this summer and she did wonderful! I am so thankful for the opportunity that I have to have her!
I am getting excited because this weekend I get the opportunity to go to the temple with my family!!! It is such a wonderful feeling knowing that no matter how hectic life is, there is a place we can go and remember the special feeling of peace that we can have when we remember the purpose of this life in the temple. I am even more excited as now I am maturing and can truly understand the importance of baptisms for the dead. Though there are people who didn't get a change to have the truthfulness of the gospel here on the earth, we can help them get back to their Father in Heaven through out life. It is a great feeling being able to be the one to help so many people out. It will be absolutely amazing and I cannot wait to share my experience with you!

Dare Devil; Adrenaline Junkies!

I mentioned before how I used to be so scared of roller coasters and now I loved them. Well, now I am at the extreme opposite of the spectrum. I was so pumped up going on rides at Lagoon that I did something I told everyone I would never ever do. I was launched 250 feet into the air by a slingshot. I loved it! I didn't have a sick feeling in my stomach waiting to get on or feelings of regret the whole time. It was the scariest and most fun thing I have ever done in my life and I would recommend it to anyone, even the scaredy cats.

The family reunion was so much fun and both Seth and I love to camp so that made it that much better. We haven't been able to go camping for the past two years because of our busy schedules. We took a group of the family white water rafting and though they weren't the biggest rapids, we still had fun. I love to be able to go and spend the weekend with family that we hardly ever get to see or spend that much time with.

Being with my family has really made me think lately of the importance of family in our lives and the wonderful blessing that I have to be able to know of the plan of salvation and the blessings of temples. One day we will all have the choice and opportunity to become an eternal family and be able to stay together through life and death. The knowledge of time with Seth after I die comes as a comfort, especially when I am starting to live on the edge now. I am so happy that I picked such a wonderful spouse to be with forever and though life will come with many troubles, death with bring great joy as we get to spend an infinite amount of time together. I know that I belong to the true church of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and I wish that everyone could have the same knowledge that I have of Him and all He can do for us!

I hope that everyone has a wonderful week and I will talk to you soon!
