Stupid People

Our apartment complex has decided to redo our parking lot. If that wasn't annoying enough we had to park on the road last night. We woke this morning to find that our car had been vandalized! Luckily the car was not broken into and nothing was stolen, but it was covered in who knows what! Thank heaven for my good friends here that let me run over first thing this morning and wash my car before it was stained. I was very relieved to find that it came off fairly well. I just couldn't believe that someone would be that stupid and have that little regard for some one else's stuff. Hopefully tonight we will be able to park in our parking stall!

Mother & Father's day

I am so grateful for my family! I have the most wonderful parents anyone could ever have. I am so thankful for them and all the support and love they have always given Brent & I. Mom & Dad, I love you soo much. I am also thankful for my in-laws... especially for raising the good man I married. Granted, there are times when I don't fit in well with them or even feel well liked, but I am truly grateful for all the time we have spent together with them lately, for the chance to get to know them better, and for all their love! They are great people and I am so glad to be able to call them Mom & Dad. I hope you all had a wonderful Mother & Father's Day!

We were able to be up in Sanpete for Father's Day. It was so great to be able to see so much family. We went up to Brent's parents on Saturday after he got off work. Kenzie and our nephew Scott were also there. Scott is such a cute kid.. and so smart! It was so fun playing games and just having fun with them!

On Sunday we were able to visit Brent's grandparents. They are the sweetest people! They love Brent so much! We then made our way down to my parents house to surprise my dad. We were able to pick up a painting he had on layaway and bring it to him. I think he was really surprised and really excited! We all decided to go to the lake that afternoon. My cute cousin Morgan (who is staying with my parents right now) and my Uncle Curt and his family came with us. It was fun watching all the kids swim, letting fish nibble on my toes (weirdest feeling thing ever!), and watching Gemma in the water.. which she hated! The funniest part was holding Gemma right above the water and watching her "air-swim"! The rest of the day was spent eating hamburgers and playing games and laughing. It was such a great day! When we were getting ready to leave Morgan and my sister decided to take me hostage. They did pretty much everything from hanging on my legs and sitting on me to locking me in the bathroom to keep me from going. It was so funny and I was laughing so hard! What a great weekend. Thanks everyone who celebrated it with us! Love you all!

Good Things to Come

My friend shared this with me the other day. It was truly an answer to my prayers. It gave me such peace and really touched my spirit. I know things aren't well for a lot of you... but good things will come. We are promised that if we keep the commandments of the Lord and have faith and hope, we will be guided and directed for good. Heavenly Father will not try us above what we are able. Isn't that the most wonderful blessing! We are so truly blessed to have the gospel in our lives. To be able to be worthy temple recommend holders and be able to go to the temple often and participate in that sacred and wonderful work. I am so grateful for every blessing the lord has blessed us with and all that he will bless us. I am really striving to find patience and to trust in God with my whole heart, might, & mind. I will try to see my trials as growing experiences and faith builders. If any of you are having difficulties please watch this video and I hope & pray the spirit testifies to you that it is true and that you will be able to recognize all your blessings.

My wonderful Hubby

I have the best husband ever! He is always trying so hard to give me a good life and making sure that I am happy. He is so sweet and caring and the sexiest man ever! He has such a cute smile! He has so many wonderful traits about him that I love. Thank you Brent for spoiling me and letting me tryout my new fingernail polishes on your toes. Thank you for reading to me at night, for cooking, and always letting me come to you when I need help or a shoulder to cry on. For always being understanding and compassionate. You will be one amazing dad when the time comes! I just wanted to take a moment to let him know that I am so in love with you and it grows more and more every day. Brent you are truly my better half and I would be so lost without you! Thank you for all the little things you do for me each day. Thanks for always reminding me that I am special and that you love me. I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father for bringing you into my life and that I get to have you as my eternal partner!

A fun weekend

This past weekend the in-laws called and asked if we could go up and help them get ready for their garage sale. Brent had to work till 1 and then we were off. We were so glad to be able to go up and help out. I wish we had been able to help out more than we did cause it honestly feels like we didn't do anything. Thanks Mom & Dad for inviting us up and for all that you do for us. We love you and we love all the time we have been able to spend with you lately!

We were also able to surprise my not so little brother anymore on his birthday. My parents only live about a half hour from the in-laws so it was so great to visit them too. They had no idea we were coming and it took everyone by surprise! It was so fun. We all played Little Big Planet and Phase 10, ate a yummy dinner and cake. I was able to see lots of my family too including my grandparents and Aunt & Uncle. Happy Birthday Cam. I love you so much! You have grown into such an amazing man. You have so many amazing talents and abilities. Thanks for letting us be a part of your birthday. I can't wait for you to come visit! Love ya! I was also so glad to finally see my Daddy since his surgery. I wish I could have stayed longer with him. It was so good to see him laugh..even though it hurt his tummy. I love you Dad and I hope things get better for you really soon!

Daddy Update

Well here is an update on my dad. He wasn't able to have his back surgery on the 15th due to some other medical problems. I don't quite remember what it is called but it has to do with his intestines and stomach. He has had this problem for a while but it keeps going away. This time however they decided they needed to take care of it before having surgery on his back which is totally understandable. I can't imagine having to be in bed rest and feeling like you have to run to the bathroom every couple minutes with an upset stomach. So they postponed the back surgery to a later date and now dad is have what Paige calls "ballerina surgery" tomorrow. We love you dad and hope everything goes well for you. We hope this surgery helps you and that you have a quick and well recovery. We will keep you in our prayers!!

Fun with the Coxes

We have been able to spend the last 2 weekends with the in-laws. It has been so nice being able to spend so much time with them!

The first weekend we went up to celebrate birthdays. It was Brent's little sister's birthday and we were able to celebrate with her went to eat at the Brick Oven. The next day we went up to Salt Lake to celebrate Grandma McPhie & our niece Sylvia's birthdays. It was Grandma's 80th and Sylvia's 1st. It was so great to see so many family members. Most of Brent's siblings and a lot of his Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins. We all ate at Red Robin (so yummy!). Afterwards we went to Hogle Zoo to celebrate Sylvia's birthday. It was such a great day and so fun to be with our family and we are so glad we could be a part of it!
