My Washington Trip in July & August

My Washington trip was amazing! Here is a picture of the cheerios race car! I went to Uncle John's in the end of July for his lapband surgery. Though he couldn't eat anything Aunt Louise and I still needed food, so we went to Walmart and there was the cheerios race car there in the front!
Though the photo is blurry this is the Pasco Washington Temple! I was able to go there and spend a afternoon there where Uncle John was at home. I was so amazed at how beautiful it was. It was the first time I had been to a "mini" temple and though it was a small temple, it still had the most wonderful spirit! I loved it, and can't wait to go back!

WI in June

for the month of June I went home to WI to help out on the farm. It was haying season and another hand is always welcome. I was so wonderful seeing everyone and being able to play with Tasha! she has gotten so big! I think the happiest to see me was Lucy! she didn't want to leave my side! and here is a picture of her watching me making sure I don't go anywhere. While there I was able to go to Tae Kwon Do and see my friends! It was a great month with allot of work!

Before we left FL, we went to Lake Land to Visit uncle Robert, Kendall and I stayed at his home. It was wonderful getting to spend time with him! He and Aunt Sandy took us to the movie "Night in the museum 2" and the next morning we went to visit Aunt Sandy's parents for dinner. This picture is us out by a swamp looking for alligators!

This is a picture of Michale and me in Uncle Roberts Garden. He had come over for lunch with 2 of his sons and he soon-to-be wife. It was great hearing stories about David; while we were there we found out the Uncle Roberts shed had been broken into and things were missing. Uncle Robert said that he thought it was the guys who lived in the house behind his, my first response was to go over there and beat them up! get Uncle Roberts stuff back and come home! Michael started laughing and said that was exactly was David would have said and that I defiantly was a Sullivan! I just wanted to get the stuff back and it seemed like the best way to do it! They called the cops. Oh well.

Our Ocean Trip in FL

Kendall and I were able to go to the ocean before we left Florida in May. We went to Clear Water beach with Bill and his family. I haven't been to the ocean since David died. It was my 8th birthday and Becky had decided that we should go to FL to get away from the cold weather. So March 4th 1995 we went to FL, and it was the first time I was away from home for a birthday, but it was also the first time I was able to be with David on my birthday. I was given a NoMad which was the first hand held gaming system with a back light and a colored screen. I was so happy. When I got to the beach this day, I was thinking about how when I was little I would go with Joe and we would play there for hours. Steve and Becky always got a hotel by the ocean so that we could go down whenever we wanted to. I ran into the water and started diving into the waves! It was so much fun, then I remembered the last time I made a sand castle and was telling Kendall about it, so we then decided it was something we needed to do.

Bill and his sons' were being attacked by seagulls, and so we snapped a picture! Poor Bill had been spending so much time here that he started getting a sun burn! I love how the sand is so white!

We came to the beach about 5 o'clock when the sun was going down so that no one would get anymore sun burns.

Kendall standing with the ocean behind him. I was the first time he had seen the gulf of Mexico, and so we had to take a picture~ it was such a wonderful day, and we had so much fun! I only wish we had a body board to ride the waves better.

My amazing 4th of July!!

We had the most wonderful family reunion of our lives! it was so great! Let me start at the beginning....

I arrived in New Hampshire on June 30th and spent the week with Uncle Steven and Aunt Marcia. On the 4th of July we had the Sullivan Family reunion and I was able to meet my other family! It was so different to meet people that looked like me, or acted like me! We gathered at Shelly's house in Chester and spent a wonderful day smiling, laughing, and connecting with everyone!

We grilled hotdogs, chicken, and burgers out in one of the only days that were sunny the whole time I was there! There was so much food there that I still feel full!

This is Alec, and Me!!!!! it is the coolest older brother, and I love him to death! also that is my cool new sweatshirt! I was so cold when I got off the plane that I bought that shirt right in the airport! I think the Lady is still laughing at me. I was just so cold that I put the sweatshirt on the moment I bought it! right at the cash register! I was so sad to leave, I wish I could have spent more time with everyone!

The other thing highlight of my trip was that I met one of my sisters there! It was the first time I was able to meet Dawn! I just love her and think she is the best! I can't wait to go back and spend more time with them! and next time I go I am going to meet my other sister Dayle, she had to work, but I was able to meet 2 of her 3 daughters! I can't believe how wonderful my life is! I am so lucky, my only wish would have been to have Kendall there, but he had to work and so next time we will be there together!

I am truly hoping that we will be able to go for the highland games the fall! I am going to keep my fingers crossed!

Our Last Week in Florida!

this is Bill and Kendall! we werer in the Shark Tunnel, it was a wonderful day!
this is me by the Leafy Sea Dragon! I loved all the different fish tanks!

So I was to leave for Wisconsin June 1st and about a week before that Kendall found out that he was going to be transfured to San Antonio TX. Because he couldn't leave until after the first he took the rest of the week off so that we could see some of FL, and the first place we went was Sea World! I had the most wonderful time, seeing the sites and riding the roller costers!

The Biggest Loser!!

My friends and I are going to have a biggest loser compitition this summer! I am so excited about losing some weight and becoming healthier! Since this is the only life that I will have I want to make the most of it! You are all welcome to join us is our game!

Florida is beautiful and Kendall is working hard, I am looking forward to seeing everyone in WI, and am making plans to for my New Hampshire trip! It is unbelieveable how much has happened in such a short time! I can't wait to see what else is in store!

Living in the Land of the Sunburns!!

Well we arived in Florida SUnday May 3d after a 3 day car ride across the country! It was amazing watching the country change right in front of you! from desert to woodland to swamp!

Monday was beauitful and we were able to settle in, find food, and explore the neiborhood, We live about 20 yards from the pool, and right on the Bay! There is a family of dolphins that live there and I have already spend hours watching them play! They are accompanied by a pack of stingrays, and manatees! It is amazing living here, though I do already miss Utah a bit.

Tuesday I went swimming, and when I was walking back to the apartment there was a girl ahead of me, and at her car was a drunk guy who broke her door handle, becuase I was a wittness I had to wait there for the cops and the community security. This took us 2 hours! and when I finially made it back in the apartment I was sunburned with 2nd degree burns on 1/4 of my body!  for the last week I have been hiding out in the apartment with aloe, and pain killers! My burns are on my shoulders, neck, upper arms, chest, back, and face! so because I couldn't raise my hands to my head Kendall has been washing and brushing my hair. That is true love right there! when he takes care of the little things for you! 

I am much better now, and am excited because I recently started my own business! I am a Independent Beauty Consultant with Mary Kay! and I have just recruited my first 2 people! Robin Bond my best friend from our beloved Cisco classes, and Robin Payen Kendall's friends wife! I am so excited to be working with them as they start they was to the top! This has been the most exciteing job I have ever had and I am loving it!

I am leaving for the month of June to go to my families farm in Wisconsin where I will be helping them with the haying season! I am excited to see my neice again as I have missed her so much! and she has grown so big! I have seen pictures on facebook of her and I am pretty sure she is the most beautiful girl in the world! I just love her to death! I am excited to also see my family and most of all my dog Lucy whom I have miss by my side. I look forward to seeing my ward family and catching up with them all about what has been going on in my life since we last met! 

July I am going to New Hampshire for the Sullivan family reunion, this is the first time I will be able to meet my whole family from Davids side and I can't wait! I have always wondered about them and am Finally going to see and hug them! This Saturday I am going to be spending time wiht my Uncle Robert and Aunt Janace! I am about to die! this is great, as no one in my family knew anyting about David and now I will be spending time with his family!!!!!
