Lovely Windy Day in Idaho!!

It is really windy again today. Yesterday it was about 85 Degrees and calm and then we get slammed.
Makayla went to her Freshman Prom this last week. All of her friends went as a large group with the boys in one and the girls in another. This is one of her good friends named Max. She ended up wearing a dress that Danielle's mother made for one of the dances she went too. It was so cute on Makayla.
We are working on redoing the back deck that is connected to our house. Paul has been tearing it apart and it is looking very ugly right now. We will be putting up new railing, painting and staining and I can hardly wait. (We are also de-junking because we have this giant garage shop and the junk belongs in the garage not on the deck) We picked up a new table and chairs. I have taken two of our old iron and wooden benches and painted the slats bright bumblebee yellow. I love how bright they are.

I will post pictures as the deck progresses.
I came home today and made a bright Spring like table runner. It is okay, not quite what I had in mind but it is cheerful.

Makayla is currently in a musical at school. It is the Disney Mulan. I had to sew her costume at the last minute since that is about all the time that she gave me. I went to see her in the musical last night and they did a great job. It made me want to go home and watch the movie.
Paul and I are headed off to Utah to visit Susan this weekend and to go to Paul's, Uncle Paul's wedding. His wife died about 2 years ago and he has found himself a wonderful new lady friend. It will be a quick trip. I am really looking forward to seeing all of the little punkers. They are so fun to visit with on the phone. We are planning on fixing a few bike tires while we are there.
Well I had better get going I need to get packing. bye now.

Latest..

Well I did not die from a heart attack Sunday. I was so scared for a few minutes when they announced my name at Stake Conference as being second to speak. When I got up to speak I felt so calm and I gave most of the talk without even looking at notes other to read a quote or two. Makayla did a great job of singing. It was an especially good conference. A few members of the new ward that we are moving into came up to introduce themselves. We have had the our new Bishop, the Young Womens President and the Relief Society President already come and visit us. I am thankful that they have done so because it will make it not so scary for Makayla and I to make this huge change. Danielle came to conference to hear makayla and I and just kept her in my vision to help me to stay calm. She is just the best. Clayton was unable to come because he did not feel well.
I got to go and get my hair trimmed today. I took 2" off of the back it has grown so much. I am still not sure that I am happy with longer hair but Makayla says that I cannot cut it off. Haircuts feel so good and make me so happy.
I better be going I need to get dinner ready. I think we will have some leftovers from Sunday dinner. The family did say that it was yummy. so we might as well try it again.
Everyone have a great week. bye now.
