chels i didn't know it was your birthday, you should have been on here a week ago preparing us like ellynn did.  happy birthday and i hope you have a super day and you get spoiled rotten!!

jackie thanks for the info about the pictures, i hope enough people will ask questions to keep you on the blog. 

brooke it is so good to hear from you!  i miss you so much it make my heart hurt.  this morning i was listening to saturday afternoon conference during my long run and i think it was president Packer who was speaking about the guidance of the Holy Ghost and i thought about what you said about mike.  here he has the resources of millions of dollars worth of equipment and you two know that he will be relying on the Holy Ghost.  if only we could have more men like mike in command!  i know that Heavenly Fathers spirit will always be with you both.  i am so proud of you in the grateful kind of way.  as i was thinking about all this i wa bawling as i ran down the road.  i'm sure anyone who passed me wondered why i didn't just stop running if it was that bad.  i only cried one other time, but i seriously run faster while i listen to conference so i will continue even through the tears. 

darla i totally agree if i could just live outside i would.  any time we get to go camping of backpacking i think why on earth don't we do this more often.  i am trying to talk cory into going to the tri cities (and see all the places from g'ma's pictures, oh sorry adam i mean arlene's) for memorial day weekend but he is suppose to help with a scouting fundraiser all weekend.  who's poor planning was that.  obliviously someone with a much nicer wife. 

mindi we are kind of in a holding pattern like you guys are with the whole house/land thing.  we think we will have to go with a more traditional home, because of financing.  lenders are too scared to try anything new, even though they build post frame houses all over the east and south.  oh well maybe some day.  if we were smart we would just stay here for a few more years to get more equity, but i would go crazy and i'm sure land prices would be even more out of control. 

alright i have been avoiding laundry and camp stuff long enough so i better get to it.  love you all............me
