Mom's New Wheels

I really liked my Ford Five Hundred, but I needed better gas mileage commuting to and from work. This gets about 10 more miles to the gallon. Thanks to Tommy's association with Ford Company I got a decent deal. I haven't had a red car since being a teenager, but it was the only one left. Wow, it's bright and a little sporty. Kim actually said she would like to drive this car - it's not to mommy looking. It's not as comfortable as the five hundred but it will do. It's fun to zip around in.

KIM GRADUATED!!!!

Kimberly graduated from Salem High School on June 13, 2008. I am very proud of her. She also graduated from 4 years of Seminary last Sunday! The last year of seminary was home study which meant a lot of reading and writing. She is very excited to be done with both. I am very excited to have raised six children who are done with high school and seminary! That's one of the reasons we took the cruise to celebrate. She celebrated being done and I celebrated being done also! Way to go mom!
Kim will go to Virginia Western College in September. She will be studying Commercial Art. Way to go Kim! Keep moving forward!

Our Disney Cruise

This trip was 6 years in the planning...I told Kim in sixth grade when she was a senior and turned 18 I would take her to Disney World...and it finally happened! But we did something even more exciting, we went on a Disney Cruise! It was one of the most exciting adventures of our life! Next time let's take the entire family!
Some of the highlights were: Leaving the U.S.A. and going out on the ocean, arriving at Nassau, swimming with the dolphins,spending the day at Castaway Cay (a private Disney Island),parasailing, riding the jet ski's on the ocean around the island, the banana boat ride, watching the broadway shows on ship, and eating at fancy resturants on ship...the list goes on - it was a wonderful experience and will be a lifetime memory!

Easter Day

Kim and I were able to enjoy Easter at home with Christie, Kevin, and the children visiting. It was exciting seeing the children get excited about what the Easter Bunny left during the night. We all went to church and heard Grandpa LeNeave talk in Sacrament meeting. He spoke on Knowing the Savior. We had dinner with extended family at Roy's house. The children enjoyed an Easter Egg Hunt with a special visitor, the Easter Bunny herself.

Let me finished this Easter posting by telling you that I know the Savior lives. I am so very thankful he made it possible that I can live on eternally. I am touched as I read about his life in the scriptures. I am reading a book titled, 21 Days Closer to Christ. I recommend this book. It has touch my life and helped me to feel of His love for each of us.
