KYLE IS SO FRIENDLY.... SOMETIMES I GET A LITTLE NERVOUS! HE CAN TALK TO ANYONE FOR HOURS NO MATTER IF HE KNOWS THEM OR DOESN'T!

KYLE IS VERY ENTERTAINING, HE CAN MAKE ANYONE LAUGH, HE COMES UP WITH THE CRAZIEST THINGS & HE LOVES TO TEASE PEOPLE ESPECIALLY MY MOM!

I LOVE YOU KYLE CHRISTIANSEN & I HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD DAY TODAY YOU DEFINITELY DESERVE IT!

Home

This last weekend we were up home for a special somethin!

Chris, Kailee, & Kael were sealed for all eternity! I didn't get any pictures, right before we walked out the door my camera died on me, I was so mad but didn't have time to do anything about it, but go ahead and look on Kailee's blog she has some really cute pictures of their family at the Temple! After we all went to Moroni's old gym and had some lunch, chatted, laughing at chris and Kyle doing there hand stand contests, that they have to do every time they see each other! they intertain us! and had a mean game of lightening with everyone, it kicked my butt, I am so out of shape,and I am still very sore, sad I know! the last time I had played basketball was in PE my sophmore year and I broke my pinkie! we had such a blast with everyone, & I hope we get together like that again very soon!

The day before I did get some pictures of Deja and of Gentry and me at the Mayfield park it was a nice day, so we decided to go to the park and hang out for a little bit! Kade and Megg came later that night & Deja was in such a good mood she smiled so many times and was just happy as can be. I haven't been able to just sit and hold Deja like that in such a long time, since she was first born. It felt so good to see kade, Meg, and Dejanae. Deja & I even had a little conversation she told me a couple of secrets... like, is one of her cousins going to be coming and joining us soon?? I got a smile on her face and she made a little noise, so I took that as a yes! (hopefully I'm right!)

can you say Flawless!... (Deja, not me) I can't get over how gorgeous she is, such a beautiful girl!

This is Gentry Lynn! she looks more like my sister Callee, but she acts like me! I don't know if that's a good thing or not?? She is one strong little spirit though, her & Brock both have been through so much at such a young age, but they are still so strong and have lots of love for everyone! Boys stay away!! she is only 14... sorry!

I hope everyone had a good weekend, we sure did!

!CELEBRATING!

WE ARE CELEBRATING.....

BECAUSE WE SOLD OUR LITTLE TRAILER IN NEVADA.... YA FREAKIN HOO!

WE DIDN'T THINK WE WERE EVER GOING TO SELL IT, BUT WE PRAYED VERY HARD WITH A LITTLE BIT OF PATIENTS & HEAVENLY FATHER ONCE AGAIN BLESSED US! WE ARE SO THANKFUL! ITS SOMETHING THAT WE NEEDED TO HAPPEN TO OPEN UP OTHER DOORS.

NOW WHERE DO WE GO.......?HMMMM WE WILL LET YOU KNOW WHERE WE END UP!

I can't go a day without talking to my Heavenly Father, I think its grown to be some kind of anxiety,...... not really! I have just learned that if I talk to him about my thoughts, concerns, & just to thank him for all the many blessings that we have my days go a lot smoother, and when I don't talk to him I feel lost.

This past year I have learned how to have a relationship with my Heavenly Father and Jesus, it was a hard year, and I had no one to lean on except for my Heavenly Father and Jesus.

When Kyle & I were prepairing to go through the Temple, for some reason I felt like when we went through it needed to be in July, I never knew why I felt that way but I did, and when our bishop told us that he didn't think we would be able to go through in July I was heart broken. I felt so strongly about going through on that date that I just had to go back and talk to him about it, with everything that my family had already been going through with all the investment stuff & my dad not being in a good place it was important to me that we went through then, my dad & family was holding on to a thin string & I needed it to be then, that month, that date, so he could go through with me.

The bishop said Ok, if I felt that strongly about it then ok!

It was a beautiful day filled with the spirit! and seeing my parents there together dressed in white just made it that much more special to me.

Two days later I got a phone call it was Gentry mad at my mom because she wanted to go to the movies with some friends & my mom told her no, my mom got on the phone and we got in an arguement and she hung up on me.

Later that day my phone rang agian,

It was my mom, I didn't want to answer it and I wasn't going to, but then I got a strong feeling

"answer the phone!" the voince in my head said strongly

I did my mom was crying and something was going on in the back ground.

"mom! whats wrong!"

"Lindy I need you to come home, I need you to be here,"

"why mom what happened, whats going on?" at that moment I thought of Gentry, she was mad earlier did she do something, then my dad, the investments, did something happen to my dad?"

"Lindy there was an accident, you need to come home, she was running in the back ground, a door opened then I heard crying"

"MOM WHAT DO YOU MEAN, WHO IS IT? IS EVERYONE ALRIGHT??"

"Brocky, they were in the Rhino, she's not going to make it"

My heart sunk I couldn't breath.

I was in a panic,after I got off the phone I ran to my room, grabbed my suitcase, grabbed all my clothes and threw them in my suitcase, I didn't know how long I would be in Utah I didn't care I just wanted to be with my family.

Kyle followed me to the gas station we filled up my car, he was trying to calm me down, he was going to come to Utah on Thursday he couldn' leave because of work.

my phone rang agian...

"Lindy" this time it was a small voice

"Brocky, hey buddy"

"Lindy I'm scared, I didn't mean to I was being careful, I'm sorry, I'm scared"

"I know bubbas I know, its not your fault ok"

"come home i'm scared"

"I'm coming, I will hurry as fast as I can Ok I will be there soon, just say a prayer talk to Heavenly Father he will help you feel ok!"

"Ok"

"bubbas I love you, its going to be ok"

"love you too"

All I remember from the drive is crying, and thinking why now, why after such a beautiful day? let every body be ok, don't take her yet please.

I made it to the hospital a little past 12 am, I walked into the hall to see friends and family sitting in the hall way, we sat together and cried.

Hours later at my parents house while I was lying on the couch I kept asking the same questions, why now? why after such a beautiful day at the temple with my family? is this why I felt so strongly about going through on that day, on that month? was that day in the temple supposed to be for my family so they could hold on just a little longer to the tiny string through one more giant trail, was it to remind us about how important our family is to each of us, how important it is to be sealed together for all eternity?

Because you never know even after such a beautiful day.

It has been a long bumpy road back to smiles, & laughter, long road back to feeling ok again, that no matter what trial we go through our Heavenly Father is there for us we just have to talk to him and he will be there to comfort us and help us with each step, & climbing up that thin string onto the right path.

There are many trials we have to go through, but we are making it, all of us & the only reason we are making it, is because we are so very greatful for our many many blessings, we are staying close together helping each other through thick and thin, and being close to our heavenly father and Jesus talking to them each and every day no matter if its a concern, a fear, a thank you, or just to talk about your day, to have that relationship with him can help you through anything!

I am so grateful for my family & the closeness i have with them

For Kyle's job, for my family members having a job

For our home

For all the opportunities I have to go to the Temple

and the power of Prayer.

I had to share this with you because I have been thinking a lot about the Temple these days, how I haven't been for a couple of months ( & i am very ashamed of myself for not going) The amazing peaceful feeling, the strong spirit & how Chris, Kailee & kael are going to be able to experience that together as a family like we did that beautiful day! They are going to be sealed for all eternity this Saturday & we just want them to know how proud we are of them! & how special its going to be! We love you guys & we can't wait to see you!

Happy Birthday To You!

Happy Birthday!

It was Dejanae's baby blessing this last weekend & we were able to be there. We had a pretty fun weekend! Thursday we got into Utah and just relaxed at my parents house & watched the movie 7 lbs yes we have it without it being on movie yet and no I'm not going to tell you how or who we got it from, because they would get in a lot of trouble!

Friday.. We slept in a little, the kids were at school and my parents & callee had to work, so we decided we were going to go and visit everyone at work. Kyle loves visiting my mom at work, she work at Candies on Main in Manti and he always has to load up on as much candy as possible! we then went down the road and went to Miller's bakery to see callee and get some lunch with my mom & callee always has something new that she has come up with for Kyle to try, yes Kyle loves food! and we do this every time we are up in Utah! after getting stuffed up with candy, hamburgers,taco salads,and chicken wraps we headed to Mt. Pleasant to see my dad and Robert & Kole. After a couple of hours visiting we headed back to Mayfield got freshened up and headed to a Snow College basketball game with Callee and Brandon (callee's boyfriend) we met Robert and Kole there, after the game we hurried and went to the bowling alley to eat I love their fries! we had a fun time getting to know Brandon!

Saturday.. we slept in again! Kyle, his dad and Kole decided to go shooting all day, and had some fun just being with the guys. I sat at my parents house in my PJ's with my mom and sisters and dad and bubbas we were having a lazy day! I love those days where we aren't in a rush to do something and we can sit around and just talk and laugh for hours! later that day we all got ready packed up our stuff and headed up to Spanish Fork. Robert and Kole watched the dogs for us Thanks so much Robert and Kole we really appreciate it! Kyle and I got a hotel and my parents stayed at my grandma's house we all met up at Kade and Meg's and we went into Orem went to the mall and hung out for a little bit, and then went to Red Lobster one of my families favorite places to eat! we then all went to where we were staying because we had an early morning!

Sunday.. At 8:30 am we went to Kade and Meg's ward, no we didn't leave at 8:30 sacrament started at 8:30! but the early morning was well worth it Dejanae was being blessed and kade did such a good job, it was a very touching, spirited blessing and the rest of sacrament was just as amazing with family bearing their testimony's. we then all headed to I Hop to eat some breakfast because it was only 9:30! I usually hate I Hop but I have to admit it was pretty good this time! of course Dejanae got passed around to everyone who waited to hold her! she is such a beautiful little girl! we then all headed to Kade and Meg's and chatted for a little while and it then was time for Kyle and I to head home to Nevada!

Monday.. Kyle's boss's wife came and picked me up and we went into Vegas and stopped at our hubbies job and I got to see what Kyle does when he works his butt off, let me tell ya he did look good doing his job though! nothin like a hot construction worker!! after they were done working they went back to Cobe (Kyle's boss) hotel and got showered and cleaned up, we headed to the new mall and did a little shopping and ate at the claim jumper, we had a lot of fun! It was nice getting out with some friends we don't do that much when we are home usually its just me and kyle so it was nice to get to know Jaime and Cobe and they live in St. George so when we move there one of these days soon (hopefully) we will be able to hang out more with them!

That was our weekend, we had a lot of fun! sorry we didn't get to see everyone but I think we are coming up next weekend so hopefully we will be able to hang out with the family members we didn't get to see this last weekend! we love you all & we hope you had a great weekend! here are a couple of pictures I took of us at I Hop, I need to do better with taking more pictures!
