2010 here we are...

Wow, it's hard to believe that it's already been 2 weeks into the new year! ANd, it's a whole new decade at that--2010!!! Where did the last 10yrs go--?

Well, to make a long story short...I moved from Salt Lake City, UT in Sept 2000 back to Burley, ID. Let me rewind a bit here--I lost my job at the finance company I worked for in Salt Lake, so I decided to move back to Burley & live in a smaller town. I had grown tired of the big city life. I went back to school for a few years (at ISU & CSI) while working at Wal-Mart in Burley. Then in 2005-2006 I began to get burned out of my job...so early 2006 I started my job hunt in Twin Falls, ID. I had also decided I needed a change of scenery & Twin seemed to fit the bill. I got a job at The Home Depot in Twin, quit Wal-Mart & moved to Twin Falls. I loved living in Twin--living by the canyon was awesome. My walks by the canyon rim were peaceful & healthy for me, too! Then came August 2008 when I became a mother for the first time! Shane Kolby--my baby boy is amazing! He keeps us on our toes & keeps us young that's for sure! Late November 2008 I got a phone call from a lady in our ward. It was Elaine Richman & she asked me if she could give her nephew my phone number. I told her why not & gave her my number. I met Dustin Child on December 13, 2008 & it was definitely 'history in the making' like the Darius Rucker song says. We started talking every day & seeing each other often. Then Valentine's 2009 came & Dustin proposed. We got married March 21, 2009. Then we moved to little Dell, Montana a month later on April 17th. And, now here it is January 2010! Wow--my cup runneth over for all the love & blessings I have received & been given in the last little while! Dustin is my man & I am his lady! And, we have our little man-man(Shane)!

I know I sped through a few years through the past decade, but sometimes that's the best thing to do. I still have memories of those years, but I felt like fast-forwarding to a more recent time & place for my blog! And, you know I couldn't have made it through all that I've endured & enjoyed w/out the love of my family! They are wonderful! And I am forever thankful for them!

Love,
