New Couches

We have been considering buying a couch for about two years now.  We found one we like here in town but the price was so high for a leather reclining one so we have always held off.  When we were in Utah earliar this year we went to Furniture Row with Ashley. It's down by Ikea and Ashley Furniture so the prices are real competitive.  We found one we liked and went home that weekend wishing we would have bought it.  So the next weekend we set out for Idaho Falls where the closest Furniture Row store is.  We took our price quote there and got the same couches for much less than what they were selling them for at that store. We ended up getting a couch and loveseat both with recliners for less than what just the couch we had looked at in Burley costed.  We felt that it was a good deal and we love them!

Girls trip to Utah

Friday, February 24th, Lacey and I took off work early and headed to Utah to see Ash.  Lacey had never seen Bryce and Ashley's new house so we decided we would stay there for the night.  We hung out that afternoon and went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner.  Liam made friends with the waitress, she said many times "I'm in love with this child".  He was so good and so friendly the whole time.  After dinner we took Bryce and Liam back to the house and we left for a couple of hours.  We went to Jamba Juice, which is all us girl's favorite!  (Funny thing I want to remember:  While we were there Lacey mentioned how her body is so achy and she decided she had the osteoporosis.  We called her a dumb ass and laughed our asses off).  Then we drove all around Salt Lake jamming out to music and talking.

The next day we spent the morning getting ready and hanging out with Liam.  We went to In N' Out Burger with everyone.  Then we again dropped off Bryce and Liam and headed to Park City.  It was snowing pretty good up there so we shopped the outlet malls for an hour or so and then headed back to the bigger malls back in Salt Lake.  We shopped til we were so worn out.  Surprisingly I didn't find anything I wanted to buy.  Lacey found a funny shirt for St. Patrick's Day and Ashley found a pair of jeans and a cute shirt for a steal of a deal. 

We came back that night and it was sad to leave.  We had so much fun just us three girls!  We will definitely plan another trip this summer!

Tom's Day

We had Uncle Tom funeral on February 18th.  It was a nice service at the Rupert Methodist Church that Gram put together.  She did the obituary also and it mentioned how he especially loved spending time with his nieces and nephew (Lacey, Ashley, Blu, and myself).  That was my favorite part.  There was a church full and it was nice to see all the friends and family that care about Tom so much.  The morning of the service Ashley, Bryce, Liam, Lacey, and I met at Grams house and we went over to the church together.  Scotty and Tarbet left fire academy for the service and met us there.  A friend of Tom's came up to Gram that morning and asked if he could read a poem that he had wrote for Tom.  Not knowing what it was I was a little worried, but when he read it that is what got me.  It was so special and so Tom.  He did a great job writing it and I went up to him after and told him how wonderful that was and that I appreciated him for taking the time to do that.  He said to thank God for it.  :)  We then went to the cemetery out by the farm and had a small service and prayer.  Lacey had mentioned that she wished Tom was being buried by Kristi because they were always so close and raised hell together.  I told her maybe that's why Grandma chose to have him buried next to Grandpa, so he could oversee the two of them.  Ha ha!  It's hard going out to the cemetery, but also nice to see that the family is all together and out by the farm.  It's beautiful out there.

The ladies at the church made a wonderful meal and we all enjoyed each others company for a few more hours, then we went back to Grams house.  Although the occasion was not a reason I would wish for us to come together, it was also a blessing because we were all together.  Rocky and Cody, Mike and Suzanne, Natalie, and another cousin came from Arizona and California.  Mom was able to come and even came back to Grams house for some good talks and laughs.  We were all together and having a good time, the way Tom would like it.  It was a special day.  I sure miss Tom, I always have since he moved away years ago, and I sure will miss our crazy conversations over the phone.  Love you Uncle Tom!
