Snow Day

Ok, so I know that it's been awhile and I haven't been keeping this up to date, but oh well. We had Thanksgiving with Bruce's family, here in Dubois. We spent Christmas here in Dubois as well and were able to pick up Cody on Olivia's birthday, the 23rd. We had him here until the 5th when we drove him to Salt Lake and he flew home commercially. We've really enjoyed the time we've had to spend as a family. And, even though the sale of our log home company fell through, we still feel very blessed. It could be a tough year unless some of our properties that we have for sale can sell, but we will make it through, we always do. We are looking at moving to Cordova permanantly in March during spring break and then we can rent out the other half of our duplex here in Dubois. Of course, then we also have to hire someone to run our storage units. So, there's a lot to consider and pray about, but we know that as long as we keep doing those important things: paying our tithing, reading our scriptures, praying, attending our meetings, all will go well. We know that even if times get tough, our families needs will be met.

I hope all is well with our friends and family and that everyone had a wonderful holiday season!

Here we are enjoying a beautiful day of sledding
