RedBoxing it up!!!

Brad and I made a new discovery this week at Wal-Mart, the RedBox machine! Another great idea that makes us go, why didn't we think of that? The RedBox is basically a vending machine for movies. $1 a day, plus tax, to rent some of the latest movies out. It's great! So long Blockbuster!

Free Hannah Overton

I wanted to bring attention to a case I saw on 2020 on ABC Friday night. I'm including the link so that ya'll can read about the details if interested. Hannah is a 30 year old mother of five who was convicted in September, 2007 of capital murder in the death of Andrew Burd, the four year old child that she and her husband Larry were adopting from the foster system. After seeing the show and reading the info on this web site, I don't believe that this woman is guilty. I believe she should be granted a re-trial.Go to this website and form your own opinion. If you want to help, info is provided. http://www.freehannah.com/

Food Storage


Brad and I bit the bullet this weekend and bought our three month supply of food storage. Sam's Club had some awesome deals on some of our favorite foods. We also found two good web sites to buy supplies from that we wanted to share with ya'll : http://www.frontiersurvival.net/
and http://honeyvillegrain.com/
Supposedly their powdered eggs and powdered milk taste like the real thing. We'll see :)

These rooms haven't been painted yet, and the way the other rooms are going, it's going to be awhile before we get to them :) All in all, we're loving our new home! Oh, also one pic of my totally awesome Halloween tree that I made at craft night with Marquesas and Lamay. Trick-or-Treat!!!

Lovin the coolness!

What an experience moving was! We were greatly blessed to have so much great help with moving. Brad and I were greatly touched by the great friends and family that we have that gave up their Saturday to help us load and unload the U-Haul. The day started out with Brad and I having received the whopping total of 4 hours of sleep. Packing the "last little bit" turned out to take longer than we expected. Packing the U-Haul only took about an hour, we had so much help it was great! Then we arrived at our new home to find that the air conditioner to the house had been stolen! I was in shock! What kind of person would steal someone's air conditioner in Florida! I couldn't believe it! Since we couldn't prove when the AC was taken, Brad and I were responsible for replacing it, not the seller. That was a bummer! We spent a hot and sweaty weekend unpacking the house. Nights weren't so bad, it actually became kinda cold between the hours of 3-7am. Monday I had the joy of calling around AC companies while Brad dealt with the insurance company. Let me tell you the Harper Revell company is my new best friend. They were so sympathetic and were able to get a tech to our house within the hour(no extra charge). This is when we found out that only part of the AC unit, the cheap part, had been taken. Instead of $3000+, we were only looking at $400ish. WOOHOOO! I love having prayers answered. Then, the even better part happened this morning. They weren't supposed to received the part until this afternoon or tomorrow morning, but it came sooner and we received a knock on the door at 8:30am. I've never been so glad to be woken up early before. By 9am, we had cold air in the house!!! After 3 days and 3 nights of sweating, I am so, so , so greatful for the invention of air conditioning. Now I can all the boxes unpacked.

Goodbye First Ward :(




Today was our last Sunday in first ward. It's a weird feeling. Since we're staying in Tally, just moving to the other side of town, we know we will still see everyone occasionally,but it's sad knowing we won't be seeing them every Sunday. We really didn't get to say goodbyes after church, because Bradley was very teary and didn't want everyone to see him crying. It's hard on him to be leaving, this was his first family ward as a member, and he's close to so many families that have watched him grow up with their kids.So all first warders, know that we are going to miss you very much and are very glad that we have had the opportunity to establish friendships with ya'll. I especially loved having the opportunity to teach some of your children. My primary kids are so special and have such sweet spirits. Laura was my quiet one, who after a year still will only speak up in class by whispering in my ear her comment; Joseph, who can make anything into a very detailed story; Noah, who I think is the most competitive in the class whenever we play games; Jason, who always is so sweet and has the right answer ready; Justin, my reader, he always wants to read the stories and scriptures that are part of the lesson; Jordan, who started to come to church recently and last Sunday started volunteering to say a prayer; and last is Kaeleigh, who always wants to draw a picture after the lesson. I've had such a fun time teaching them and will miss them very much.
