I'm In The Paper...

Read here....

And, yes Katie, we have found a new place to live that we love! I'll tell you all about it later. But we're moving in on Memorial Day. (We have to be out of our current place before the 28th.)

Tha Saga Continues...

No, my internet and phone isn't up yet...


...Because I told them not to come and not to put in a new phone line...



.....Because I have to move.



On Monday I got a letter saying that the owner of our apartment building is getting foreclosed on, and we have to vacate the premises by May 28th.


Lovely, eh?



I thought so too....



We have a property management manage our apartments, and I called them the next morning, and they had NO IDEA!



So, needless to say, we're all a little angry. But if you think about it, it's actually quite comical...



So.... we get to move again. Which is good and bad. Good because I had some complaints about the place we were living in. Bad because we have to look for another place, and move all of our stuff AGAIN.


So anyway... I don't know when I'll ever be able to be connected to the internet from my home computer again and be able to put pictures up. But when I do, you'll be sure to get your blog feast I promised a while ago...

Technical Difficulties...

I promised a blog feast, but we are having technical difficulties. My internet decided not to work, but have no fear, it should be up and running next week, key word...."should."

So, I will get to that blog feast I was talking about, as soon as I can.

My Parents Were In Town...

Alright, get ready for a blog feast, because we're playing a little blog catch up.....


On Saturday, March 28th, we went and picked up my parents from the airport. They flew in from Virginia! And we waited for them at the foot of the stairs at the airport while Elora held up a little sign that said, "Grandma and Grandpa." Just to make sure they knew where to go, of course. :)


That night, the kids wanted Grandma to read to them....On that Sunday, of course, we celebrated my birthday, but we didn't get any birthday pictures.... What a sorry excuse for a blogger I am... We did go to the Garcia's house, so they could meet my parents. And also so I could have a DELICIOUS meal of chicken mole'. YUM! I also got myself some Costco "Death by Chocolate" cake. DOUBLE YUM! Scott and Jen also came down for the occasion, and Jen looked ready to pop, because she was 9 months pregnant. The next day, my Dad went to a business conference in Salt Lake. And my Mom spent some time finishing making her gifts for her grand-kids. We also spent some time doing some shopping together like we used to do.


Here she is wearing Alisa's tutu on her head, silly Grandma.....
She made Elora an apron that she has practically wanted to wear EVERYDAY since...
And for Max's birthday coming up, she made him a "Super Max" cape....
On Tuesday morning, Grandma "S" made cookies with the kids so Elora could use her new apron...
We were watching Kalissa while Jen went to a doctor's appointment, so we took the kids to the Treehouse Childrens Museum. And of course they loved it! Grandma also thought it was a very neat place to go to. Here is Elora and Kalissa having a tea party...Tuesday night, we took my Mom to Salt Lake to meet up with my Dad and Joe and Kimberly, and had a very nice dinner at P.F. Changs. Mmmmm. Then Mom and Dad went to Joe and Kimberly's house in Provo. Jen had her baby on Wednesday, and they named her Lilia after my Grandma "S." So, then Joe and Kimberly brought my parents up to Tremonton where Scott and Jen live on Friday, and my Mom made homemade spring rolls and Thai chicken satay with peanut sauce. (My favorite meal EVER!)

And here is our family group shot. Too bad Christina wasn't there.And here is the tired new Dad and silly Kalissa and new baby, Lilia.We had a lot of fun spending time together with everyone in the family except Christina. But then it was time to go home. Mom and Dad stayed at Scott and Jen's house until Tuesday morning. We did go back up to Tremonton on Sunday to bring them a lasagna dinner and see Mom and Dad one last time. It was pretty sad to leave. We sure did have a fun time, and hopefully we'll see them again someday soon...

Elora's Conversation...

I just gotta write this down while it's fresh in my mind:

So I'm lying on the couch with my eyes closed, taking a little break from packing, while Elora is playing with her play phone. This is her conversation:

"Hello? ...
"Oh, you wanna talk to Mommy?"...
"Mommy's sleeping right now, what's your name?"...
"Te-po... Teepo?"...
"Oh, ok. Are you 3 or 4?"....
"3?"...
"Oh, ok. Are you big or little?"...
"little?"...
"Oh, ok. Ok, I need to go now."...
"Ok, bye."...

What a cute little girl I have!

Awesome!

Create.

Happy Birthday Cynthia! Big 26!

It has been 26 years for the beautiful girl named Cynthia Seegmiller to enter the world, and come to her parents, which JOYFULLY, they are present here today. We actually picked them up from the airport Saturday night. So the first Happy Birthday for her was to see her parents.

Cynthia was born in New York, moved to Maine, then to Singapore. All this moving was done in the first 12 years of her life. She moved to St. George in her 12th year, but I didn't exactly meet her till 9th grade. Even though we were in the same stake and school, and in 9th grade she secretly had her eye on me, I never understood why, and I still don't know what possesed her to continue to want to be around me as we went through high school together. Either way, I am very grateful to her that she did, for I would not know the joy of life if I were not with her. Cynthia agreed to marry me and now Cynthia Gough is for eternity my wife.

To this day I have not been able to repay her long missed birthday presents, and thank her for the support and love she has given to me as I have fulfilled a full-time job, with a full-time school schedule, which drives me crazy, but she has been one to get my schedules and calendars together to keep me on track. Honestly, I would be lost without her.

Most of all, Cynthia is one of a kind, when she sets her mind on something it does not change and she does what it takes to get what she desires; which I wish I had that. Her desire to follow the prophet and be debt free is one of those accomplishments. Thanks to her we have been debt free for two years now. Another accomplishment is her child birthing capabilities. Her desire to have the most beautiful births and have complete control of pressure and feelings is and has been a desire of hers. She has brought the two most beautiful children into this world, and has loved every moment of it. Stressful? Yes, but ever so rewarding.

I love Cynthia so much, her blessing in my life is innumerable, and I don't thank her enough for loving me. She helps Elora and Max grow so well, her house keeping abilities are wonderful, and she is a magnificent cook. I love her meals.

My accomplishments with her is more her credit than mine, even with my job successes. I have so much more things to write for Cynthia, but I really want her to know is...

Cynthia, I love you and hope you have a Happy Birthday.


HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!
