For my good friend Kris

Take the Quiz here!

Everytime I hear about Jane Austen I always think about my good friend Kris Jackson. I have never met someone who love's Jane Austen as much as she does, she has even been able to go to Jane Austen's house. She curently lives in England, and I am missing her so despretley right now! So this is a little shout out to my friend, and Jane Austen for letting us rekindle our spirits through her stories and characters. Kris I just smiled when I found this little quiz, and I knew I had to share it with you.

A little Catch Up

For those of you that have been asking about how my brother is doing he is doing very well. He is now home, and after about a week of his body going through withdrawls from the medicine he was on, he is now feeling great and is up and around and going out. I am truly grateful for everyone concern and prayers for my brother and our family. I will do thank all of you from the bottom of my heart. As for Brian and I we are doing great. Brian is getting a project ready to go to Virgina for a conference at the end of the month, and I started a new job. I am a receptonist for a company called Quickutz. They sell cutting machines similar to the Cricut, and I love working there. One of my dearest friends Kristi is coming into town, so I will do a bigger post after this weekend. Till then

My Brother's Miracle

Last week my brother Todd, was in a very serious motorcross accident. He was thrown from his bike, while doing a 120 foot jump, when he landed he broke all of his ribs on his left side, and 7 on his right, he broke his left arm in 2 places, and crushed his wrist, on top of all of that he punctured both his lungs, his left completley filled with blood, and his right was 3/4 of the way filled with blood. He was life flighted to the hospital, where they stablized him, and did an exam on his bladly hurt arm. After 6 hours of surgery he know has a brand new left arm. A rod that goes from is shoulder to his elbow, and 17 pins, and plates in his wrist. They told him he would have a full recovery with his arm. A couple of days past and they started to worry about his heart. They found that it was enlarged, and had fluid on it. They did another x-ray and found that his heart and been torn from his cardiovascular sack, and was sitting to the left of where it is suppossed to be. The doctors told him, that he was a miracle. They had never seen anyone live through what had happened to his heart. They told him he is the 36th person in the worls, to have that happen to them and live. Today is his surgery to move it back to where it belongs, he does not have to have open heart surgery, just a small incision in his pectorial muscle, and they will move it back to where it belongs. I am so grateful for my brother and his courage and faith that he has had through this horrific week. I am grateful for Heavenly Father, and letting us have our brother, Dad, son, and uncle with us today. I am grateful for his precious miracles that he places in our lives everyday to make us stronger, and for his trials that brings a family together with love, patience, and faith that all will be well. I am so grateful for Todd, and that he is still here today.

Happy Birthday Love!

Yesterday was Brian's 27th Birthday. He is growing up so fast. I wanted to let everyone know how much I love, and appreciate him for how hard he works, and how caring and thoughtful he is. I love you! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Summer Travels

Brian and I have done a lot so far this summer. My cute nephew Bo gratuated from High school, and it was my first nephew to graduate. I will admit it made me feel a little old. On June 24th, we celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary. We can't believe it has already been 3 years. We decided to et away on a short little outing to Viva Las Vegas. It was so hot, but so nice at the same time. We just hung out at the pool all day, went to the strip, went to the temple, and my favorite part was going to the M&M store. That store makes you want to be a kid again. I loved it, and it was so nice to get away for a couple of days and just relax.

Then in July we went to the Barnum Famly reunion in Eastern Washington. It was really pretty where we went, and the weather was perfect. All though this wasn't one of the bigger reunions, (about only 80 people came instead of the usuall count of over 100) we still had a great time spending time with family that we don't ever get to see except at reunions. I did get to gut my first fish, and I have to admit that although it was a big thing for me to do, I didn't really think that it was a very pleasant experience. Anyone that knows me knows that I do not do well with those sorts of things.After the reunion we headed over to Vancouver, WA to Brian's mom's house to help her do some remodeling in her house. It was a lot of fun, and we got a lot done for her, and her house looks great. Here is Brian and his brother Garrett installing the new dishwasher. Here are some of us touching up the paint with q-tips. We really love Mom B. a lot. On our way to Vancouver we were able to stop at Mutnomah Falls. It was beautiful, I can honestly say that I can honestly say I have never seen a waterful up close before that was so pretty.
