On the up slope.. I think

So the trip to Arizona went well. I got to meet the rest of Phill's family that I hadn't already met.
Great people, all of them. Salt of the earth. I couldn't have been more comfortable and they all seemed truly happy to have me there and were very welcoming. It was a lot like being around my own family..... really nice actually.
Then last weekend my wonderfully sweet, poor husband had to spend all 3 of his off days at about 8-9 hours per day, trying to put this new engine in my van. By Sunday, it was done and Monday I got my van back !!! YAY !! THANKS PHILLY ! I really missed being able to just get up and run errands.... I take a lot for granted it seems. The kids are going crazy and are bored out of their minds and want to go back to school. Olivia will be a sophomore, Naomi will be in seventh grade, RJ in fifth grade and Emmie in third grade.
On my most exciting note in a really long time, In September when Emmie turns eight, she and Naomi and RJ will all be getting Baptized, and then like the next day, I'll be going thru the temple for the very first time, and my Mom is going to come out and escort me !!
So that is what is happening in my neck of the woods, and with that, I'm signing off cuz I'm sleepy.

Wow Anne. I'm so excited for you and your kids. Your hubby is talented. We would love to come to the baptisms and to the temple with you. Your daughter was such a joy to have in our home. She is so sweet. We hope she had fun.
