OK so it seems like we have been on the go NON STOP for the last 4 months... we have been home one weekend in 22 weeks INSANE I know! Part of me is grateful it has helped time to go faster for me and part of me feels like I am missing out on life as it whisks right by I am grateful to have been so busy and there are no signs of it slowing down anytime soon. So to catch up on what we've been doing
* We bought a new Nissan Murano and Love IT! The Blazer died we need something reliable I have always loved them... but when we test drove one it was Love for both of us and we shopped around and found a great deal we LOVE IT!
** Cindy (a girl that we taught on my mission) came to visit us for 10 eventful days we loved having her here and are glad she was able to come
*** We went to Zions National Park while Cindy was here we've never been there and didn't have much time there but what we saw was Beautiful! We were also able to spend some time with my mission companion taught Cindy in Hurricane while Ray went to see his Aunt Lillian and her family.
** We just got home from an eventful weekend in Idaho Rays youngest brother played JV and kicked butt then his other brother was first runner up for homecoming Royalty. We watched Homecoming games in the FREEZING cold weather, went on 4 wheeler rides, Shot guns & Had lots of fun and are getting a new little niece on the King side.
* Yesterday (Sunday) my little nephew Nash (not so little 3 months 15 lbs) was blessed so we were able to spend the whole day with my family and had a great time.
We are 98 % sure we are moving into a new place more to come on that later
Last but not least
FHE so the second Sunday of each month my Grandma and Grandpa Huff have FHE at their house in Brigham. It happened to be yesterday as we were on our way home from Idaho. I didn't really want to go because we had been in the car for a while and gone all weekend I just wanted to go home and relax... well we decided to go an I AM SO GRATEFUL that we did. I LOVE my grandparents I have been so blessed to have AMAZING grandparents on both sides (my Moms and my Dads) and now to have Rays as well we count our blessings! FHE consists of Dinner then a lesson assigned to different families each month. So last night my Uncle Joel gave the lesson on Conference and did a little quiz to see who listened to all the talks. We had a blast! just reviewing what we had learned and been taught... we laughed and cried a bit. I just want to express my gratitude for my family! I feel so BLESSED to be a part of something so wonderful! Each time the lesson ends we go around in each family and give updates on what is going on in each family (there are 8 brother and sisters so it takes a while) then we sing God be with you till we meet again each time my Grandma cries which starts a whole lot of tears for everyone. Last night there was a very special spirit (there always seems to be) I distinctly felt the spirit in the room as we sat together singing hoping that God will be with all of us until we meet again. I just want to say I am so GRATEFUL for the heritage which is ours. I am SOO Grateful that we were able to go!

I am so jealous! I wish I could have been there too. But thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and feelings. It helped me feel the spirit that you get to feel each month at FHE. We do have a great family, don't we? Reading the song made me tear up.
