My friends at Focus

Yesterday I received a call from Sam Foster who is my boss at work telling me the news that our friends who were traveling to Guatamala had been in a plane crash. We had 5 Focus employee's traveling to Guatamala to do a yearly Humanitarian project for a village down there. They had arrived in Guatamala City Saturday evening and on Sunday morning boarded a small airplane that would take them to the village where they would give service. The pilots reported engine trouble and went in to make an emergency landing in a field but they weren't able to. Four out of the five Focus people died and the survivor is in critical condition in a hospital in Guatamala. It really made me stop and think about how precious life really is. You never know when your time will be and every second of your life is so very precious. I think it will be something that helps me remember the important things in life and that we should take advantage of every single moment we have with the ones we love.

Blog update

Today I got busy building my blog and it was a lot of work! I love doing it and have a ton of fun learning how it works! I can't wait to continue to improve it each day and I love hearing about other people's blogs as well!

Our latest adventures

Hi all,

I thought I'd post our most recent pictures from our camping trip. These pictures are of our latest adventure to the Uinta's. We went camping with my sister and her husband; it was beautiful! The misquitos were crazy, I got bit a million times (they didn't even bite Kip) and it rained a lot of the time but it was worth it to get away for awhile. Kip was disappointed because there weren't a lot of fourwheeling trails around us but still had an enjoyable time.

These pictures might be a surprise for some of you because you haven't seen Kip with hair or a beard but this is what he's looking like right now.

Our new blog

Hi all,

Today I decided to start a blogspot for Kip and myself. I have been getting really bored once I get everything I need to at the house done so this will help occupy my time. Last Saturday I decided to create a picture book from our wedding at www.blurb.com and it has been so much fun! I didn't think I would have very much fun with it but surprisingly I did. I worked on it Saturday evening, a little on Sunday after church and finished tonight. I am really pleased with how it turned out and can't wait for our copy to arrive. Feel free to check it out as it is published for the public to veiw at www.blurb.com/bookstore/new because we just published it.

On Sunday my dad's side of the family had a big family home evening and I was so excited to go. Last week when I had Mikey up from Salt Lake he showed me a text from Joni (my cousin) and it said that she was going to have a baby. To say the least I was shocked because I hadn't heard anything. So I text her and asked her about it, she didn't confirm or deny so I decided maybe she wasn't ready to tell anyone. Then I got the call that we would be having family home evening on Sunday at her parents house and I thought for sure her and Dave would make the announcement then. But Joni and Dave never showed up to family home evening however her mom did announce the preganancy and told us that Joni was to sick to come to the party. Poor thing but I am so excited for them!
