It's the morning YAWN!
I really just wanted to stay in bed this morning but once I got up I was too tired to go lay back down lol. We had a lot of excitement int he neighborhood last night. our neighbor had a burning smell in her house... ok should I back up.. like about 5 months? The city came out and was putting in a drain pipe thru the small canal seperating my next door neighbor (north) and her side neighbors. they cut a line while they were digging. Whether they knew it or not is a mystery. ok fasy forward to June we come home from camp to see all these power truck in front of our house and Don talks to them and the other neighbor (South) has lost electricity. I go in the house and half our power is out including our fridge and freezer (downstairs). lovely thank goodness we weren't gone one more day. so they get us all fixed up. now the last couple weeks she said her tv has been flashing on and off. Well her son-in-law comes home today (he had been at the hospital with his new baby boy) and he calls her and says the washer isn't working. then it starts working but is really slow. she comes home and walks down the hall and smells something burning she calls her sister her sister comes over and they go int he bathroom and it is really strong burning rubber/wire smell so they call the fire department. No fire or anything but they call the power company and they come out and get them fixed up. so now everything is working but her micrwavee and Ipod dock :( they are most likely burned up. She feels totally overwelmed because her daughter has had complications with her pregnancy since Tuesday so she has had a long week.
well there was a bunch of us in the driveway standing around and there were also people driving by trying to see what was going on (you know how it is) I said I should have been laying ont he ground shaking around. it would have mede for a great story at church lol.
ok so now on a happy note I came back home and my cousin had posted pictures from monday so I will share a couple and her website. (I hope that's ok) click here to see more!
ENJOY!!

I think i am addicted

Happy Pioneer Day!!
Here in Utah we celebrate Pioneer Day. In 1847 the Pioneers walked into this lovely (they didn't think so lol) valley and Brigham Young said "This is the Place!" ok now I do realize it wasn't on the 24th of July but today is the day we celebrate. So it is a big holiday here and Don has to work :( there is abig parade downtown I didn't want to take the kids there. I'm lazy. I blind now and i don't know why. I think I looked in the sun but I don't remember. but I have blotchy eyes blah! so we had pictures taken Monday evening and I am still waiting hummdeedum..... ~jk Gina. I am bored I will write later....
so what do pioneers mean to you... For me it is deep. I always looked up to them respected them. I read "The Work and The Glory" and the "Fire of the Covenant" yearsa go and they both are great pioneer stories. Last year as we treked I also read Handcarts to Zions. and being able to walk in their footsteps has brought a greater sence of their faith. I love to talk and to read about their sacrifices though I can hardly do it with out crying. It is amazing what they did, to be persecuted and thrown out of their homes and left everything they knew and had (including family) fo rour wonderful church. I can only hope if faced with those things I could do the same. ok I know I could but so many were disowned I can't imagine the heartbreak of their families not understanding. :(
peace out and Happy Pioneer Day! go do something good today!

memories of me!
This is the first game of my blog, ya'll better play along or I am not doing it again and you will be sad.
Do you remember when?
1. Add a comment on my blog, leave a memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you know me a little or a lot, anything you remember! If we're only blogging friends, write about a post that is most memorable.
2. Next, post these instructions on your blog and see how many people have a fun memory of you. It's pretty fun to see the responses.
3. If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.
