Is anybody....out there....????

And yet another....

Well family mine. I am just stopping by to tell you all that life continues to roll on for us here.
Megan and Ford continue to work as delivery drivers. Megan could use some extra prayers right now, but all in all we are well.
I have started my annual Thankful for blog. I try to do one entry for every day of November. I don't always make it, but I give it my best effort. If you are interested hope on over and have a read. 
Love you all and hope that despite any struggles we might all be enduring, that we might endure them well and know that you are all in my prayers! Love and miss you all!

Okie Dokie! Here is another blog entry from me. ;) HA! couldn't resist.

Anyway, the latest family gathering was a huge success! (at least it seemed like it to me) We missed Stephen and his family of course. It was good to get to chat with him on the phone, but it would have been so much better for them to have been here in person.
   It was very nice to see Aunt Faye and Mike, and get to catch up with them for a little bit.
The food was as always delicious!!! I even indulged in a piece and a half of cheesecake! (YUM!) I have not done that in a very long time! :)
I think that everyone that wanted some veggies took some. I am so blessed to have been able to share. Both in the yard and the garden! Thanks for sharing your time and yummies with us all my family. Here are a couple pictures I got. Enjoy. :)

Just a note.....

Just a note to stop in and say Hi to anyone who might happen here to read. Which I don't think anyone makes it here very often. I suppose I might be surprised, but no one says much so you would never know any different. Hope you all are doing well. See all of those who will be able to make it in August.

Sorry its been so long since I've been on.  I don't much use my laptop anymore, and I don't have it on my desktop.  Things here are good.  We just split our ward and I was called as assistant executive secretary to the bishopric, and Jenn was called as nursery worker and enrichment night committee. 
I have really appreciated the power of revelation during the last couple of weeks as we have been working to try and get the ward off the ground.  Meeting with the bishopric has really allowed me to see that this church is governed at every level by the savior.  People have come to mind either through the presidency or the bishopric and the Lord's will has been done.  Confirmation comes with such power that it is undeniable. 

Hope you are all doing well, and that you know we love you. 

Bitch secession....

Today's blog is simply a bitch secession! So if you don't want to listen to me bitch, I suggest you read NO FARTHER!!!!
I KNOW I live in Utah, and I KNOW it snows here, but can I just tell you HOW ready I am for winter to be OVER!!!!
I am trying to be patient, I am trying not to complain. The last few years Chet has mentioned a few times, how my complaining of the snow is not going to make it any less and NOT going to make it go away. I get that! So this year, I have made a concerted effort to try NOT to bitch and complain about the snow as much. And this year, compared to the last few....I have had WAY more reason. Still...I have held it ALLLL inside and not said the typical "I hate winter...I hate snow"...and the usual comments.
 Then Mother nature pulls a fast one, and starts to warm up....just a bit...which is what is expected...right? Well....don't let anyone fool you... I think Mother Nature has a warped sense of humor! Let's start to warm up for those who are hoping for warmer weather, and then yank the rug right out from under them!
Not only is is SNOWING like crazy today, but the WIND is blowing, like a long winded bitch with nothing to say but all the wind in which to keep blowing with!!! (heavy sigh)
I know that winter is necessary, but does it need to be so blasted LONG???? Really??? I swear! I wish we could move to someplace that was warmer more months out of the year than cold. Chet would never hear of it though....Must live by the mountains, which I get, if only we got to VISIT the mountain that we live by a bit more, it would make more sense. But NO.... we spend the time he is not working, working his EXTRA job to help us be able to afford more, and do more? Working our lives away, and then the time we have off we spend huddled inside because it is too blinking cold to go do ANYTHING!!!! This is just wrong to me!!! I HATE it!!!! Life is so short, and we are spending pour free time inside freezing to death and doing NOTHING because it is too cold to go out! Blah!!!! I am ready to move away! Too bad it would have to be alone if I did so! :(    Okay....rant is over....sorry....

Thinking of you all!

Hello family mine! I hope that you are all doing well. I really wish there was more on this blog about the goings on in all of your lives, since we rarely get to see each other, but I suppose it is enough that you know I love you and miss you all.
Nothing new or adventurous is happening at the Parker house, unless you think working out is adventurous ;) Which I find it enjoyable, but not much of an adventure.
I am still being a lunch lady, Megan is still married and living with her Mother in law, Ford is still delivering parts and enjoying it, but is also thinking about going to school. Chet is still doing air machines, but tractor work is on hold till spring :) So that is our life in a nutshell. :) Hope you are all doing great! Love the Parkers
