Up to Date Happenings

So, Rick and I have been busy with work things and just getting by, day by day. For the 4th of July, Rick's sister, Brenda came down to visit her mom and she brought Shelcy with her. We decided to take the boat out on Friday and Saturday, what a blast. Rick and I and all three kids and Brenda and Alexis went on Friday for a few hours to play. I don't get in the water anymore but it sure is fun just watching everyone else play. Afterwords we went to our favorite dinner place in Hurricane, JB's. We always seem to go there after a good time of boating. Brenda was not given the heads up before hand to bring extra clothes to go to dinner in, so she had to borrow something from everyone else, our bad, sorry. But it's her brother, she should know by now that he likes to do things like that spur of the moment. We were all prepared, hehe. On Saturday, just the kids and us went. We spent all day, I think everyone got their fill.

Ok, now the update news. Josh and Sara did not end up getting that house in Pamona, everything seem to going wrong, from fixing things in the house to the appraisal coming in to low for what the people were asking for the house. They are now going to rent an apartment in my old neck of the woods, Chino, while they pursue looking for a home. Josh starts school on August 3rd, so they need to get down there. They just found out last night that on the same street or the one right by there, 2 houses and an apartment building burnt down. That is to close for comfort, who knows if that house is next. Heavenly Father has a plan, and if you have "Faith in God, you should have Faith in his timing." We are excited for them no matter what.

Shelcy did get her job at Sears. She is in training right now, she's pretty excited. She is looking to get a job at Lane Bryants in the mall also, so I told her you go right ahead, ( she get's 55% off all clothes, so that's good for me, hehe.) She is still with her Aunt and loves it. They went fishing the other day at Payson Lakes, but caught no fish, just fun times.

Got the news last Saturday that mom decided to quit her job finally and move to Heber City. She called my dad one day, who was on the truck, and told him she had had enough. She wanted to be around family and that town was just not working for her, especially alone. So she drove to Heber and met up with Richard and said I want to find a house. They went driving around until they found one. She applied for a couple of jobs and got them and then drove back home and packed up her motor home. On Sunday she called Shelcy and asked her if she would help her by meeting her in Heber and then giving her a ride back to Richfield. Shelcy did just that, and she picked up her cousin, DJ while they were in Heber so she could have someone to ride back with. Mom had to work Tuesday and Wednesday at her job and the members of the ward where going to help her pack furniture and then she was going. I haven't talked to her today so I'm not sure if she's gone yet. Dad is supposed to be home on Thursday, but I'm not sure he knows what home to go to, ??????????? Life is funny, lol.

I went to a play on Saturday and watched my 2 nieces, Chelly and Chelani perform, CUTE. After the play was over they were on their way to California to visit their Grandma Webb and cousins and go to Sea World. those luckies.

Rick's mom has been updating her house, lots of projects. Since Josh has been off school and when he's not in Cali. he has been helping her with things, what a GREAT grandson. He cut down the tree in the backyard, dug out the stump, plowed the back and the side of the yard, fixed the rain gutter on the shed, painted, fixed numerous things in the house and painted again. She had my uncle Ken scrape her ceilings, tear down the paneling on the wall, haul the stump away and put up drywall around the house and all that goes with that. She had a painter come in and paint the new walls, light green. It doesn't look half bad. She does want Josh to come back and tear out some shelves in a room and then move the extra fridge and freezer to the other side of the house, for more room in her kitchen. I think she wants to get her kitchen painted next. Oh ya, she also wants him to build shelves in the laundry room for extra space. Rick, Josh, Sara and I went over to the house on Monday after dinner and Rick and Josh fixed the Air conditioner, Sara and I cleaned the dusty furniture, then we all move the furniture back where it belongs in the room since it was in the middle of the room from all the updates. It looks like a brand new inside of the house. Everything looked good. Now she wants us to come back next Monday and sift through her dirt to find old bulbs, huh good luck with that.
