Testimony Builder...

Its been a crazy week. Todd and I went and looked at the house that we are thinking about buying on Thursday and I really hope that we are able to get it. There is some work that needs to be done but nothing we cant handle. Todd asked me when we got back to Twin if the house felt like home to me and I honestly can say that "I am not getting my hopes up just in case we don't get the home" so I wasn't letting myself really feel anything while we were there. So I decided that I needed to pray to my Father in Heaven and ask him what would be the BEST THING for Todd and I to do. I went back to Malta Friday night I really hurt my back on Wednesday at work and went to the Chiropractor on Friday and my back is very jacked up so he advised me not to work on Saturday so I went to Malta to spend the weekend with my family and take it easy. I had today off as well so I decided to stay in Malta till this morning and then head back to Twin today. I had all my stuff loaded up in the car and went back in to grab Abbey and my purse. As I was walking out my parents front door the spirit hit me so strong and I just stood there staring out across Malta and I knew right then and there that Malta is where we are suppose to be and are suppose to raise our family. I have never been so sure of something in a very long time. Tears filled my eyes and I couldn't stop crying for a long time, the spirit was so strong. The Lord was testifying to me that this is where we need to be. So now I can honestly say that it does feel like home there. I am so grateful for my Father in Heaven and for the spirit and the things that they testify to me. I am so grateful that I was able to have this experience and for my membership in the Church. I am grateful for the power of prayer and that I have the ability to communicate with my Heavenly Father. What a testimony builder today was for me it reaffirmed the things that I have a testimony of. I will always remember how I felt today

Fun week off..

The salon that I work at got sold so the new owners took over on September 11 and we were closed for the whole week cause the gutted the place and remodled. The best part is we got paid and didnt even have to work. The first half of the week Todd was home, IT WAS AWESOME to get to spend so much time with him he went back Thursday afternoon cause he had to work that night and I headed down to Lindsay's for the night. I just love being around family it makes Todd being gone so much easier. I had alot of fun with Lindsay, Chase, Madison and Ainsley. I cant believe how much Ainsley has already grown and she is still sooo small.. She is a cuddler and I love it I could hold her all day. Friday morning we woke up and headed out to Malta it was their homecoming so Lindsay and I decided to go. We took Madison to the parade she had a lot of fun even though is was freezing cold... I stayed in Malta till Sunday then I came back to twin that night so I could go back to work today.. I loved being in Malta and I cant wait till we live there permanetly. Oh and I almost forgot while Todd was home we bought a new car:) He traded is truck in and we got an SUV.. I am so super excited he is driving my car back in forth to work to save on gas..

Ainsley Brice.. I have a new niece:)

Ainsley Brice was born Monday September 5, 2011 at 5:17 AM.. I am so excited to be an aunt again. She is absolutely beautiful. It is the most amazing feeling to hold a new born in your arms and know that they have just left our Father in Heaven, makes you feel so close to Heaven. Her and Madison have a lot of similarities but they are a lot different as well.. I can not wait to get to spend more time with this precious little one.

Babysitting Madison..

I have to tell you I consider myself one of the luckiest people in the world. Lindsay and Chase asked Todd and I if we would babysit Madison while they were at the hospital having Ainsley. I was so thrilled that I got to watch her I love this little girl so much and she is so much fun. We went down Friday late afternoon cause Lindsay and Chase had to be at the hospital no later than six that night and we got to stay until the next night. Madison was soooooo good for us. I was a little worried about how she would react with her mom and dad not there but she seriously was amazing. We had a lot of fun playing outside, she loves chasing people around the yard. I love this little girl so much and I am so grateful that I have the opportunity to be her aunt..

Todd's Home Away From Home

This past weekend we were really busy. It all started Friday afternoon when we finally found a trailer for Todd to stay in while he is down working. We bought it from an older couple here in Twin and they have taken AMAZING care of this trailer. Its a fifth wheel and my dads truck only has a goose neck ball so we ended up meeting my parents in Burley that night to switch vehicles and then had to run out to Dietrich to borrow an adapter from a guy out there. And then Saturday early morning we headed out for Crescent Valley Nevada. It took us about four hour to get there.. We found the spot and got Todd all set up and ready to move in. I am so glad that we finally got a trailer down there for him this is a HUGE STEP!!! I told Todd Friday night that we had to leave early so we could be back in time to watch Boise State play.. I even wore all my BSU gear down to Nevada. I had to laugh cause we stopped in Wells to gas up and they had tons of BSU stuff there and NO Nevada stuff lol:) Here are a few pics of our trip mostly of the trailer:) Abbey was loving her new home away from home. And of course I had to take pics of us all decked out in BSU clothing.

I had to take these pics on the way down cause they just crack me up. Just outside of Elko the freeway goes through the mountain, the first time we went down there and had to go through this I totally had a flash back of when I was little we went through this tunnel to a ropin for my dad. And then there is the Hitchhiking sign every time I see there I just laugh so hard. This sign is right by Carlin and when Todd was first looking into this Job he was thinking of putting his Camper in Carlin but once we saw this sign we rethought things :) And then the bottom pic of the Mountain is where the mine is that Todd is working at..
