Big News

We have BIG NEWS, and no I am not pregnant, so get that out of your head right now! Our Big News is that we are finally the proud new owners of R&R Pharmacy! Well the bank owns it, but who cares right. Yeay!  Just a side note, Jason realized during this whole process, that if you rearrange the first letters of our kids' names it spells DEBT.  I thought that was pretty funny personally.
After years of trying and things just not working out in, Idaho Falls, Rexburg, we even tried Arco (I know Jason was desperate) it has finally happened in awesome Jerome. What? 
This is our little piece of the American Dream.  She's a beaut isn't she?
 Okay not so much, but it's ours, and it's Jason's dream.  It has taken a lot for me to get to this point.  I am scared to death, and have had to put a ton of trust in Jason.  We moved here just for this.  I have been and am, trying to be supportive, but I am still "scared shitless" as my dad would say.  Wish us luck, we are going to need it!
 This is Elleree and Beckett.  They are so cute together when they decide to get along.  The other day they were playing "hotel" and they were making food and eating it.  What cracked me up, was that Elleree was making Beckett say the prayer over the pretend food and she had put a napkin in his shirt.  She is so stinking bossy.  Nothing like her mother;)
 I am so excited, I received my 3rd annual blog book.  This is the only reason I blog at all.  I figure it's a journal with pictures.  It's fun to look back at the other books each year and see how the kids have changed and grown.
 I have been doing FHE consistently for about a year now.  I am very proud of myself. The kids are even getting used to it.  I do it whether Jason is home or not.  That is always what stopped me before, that he was never home on a consistent basis and consistency is a huge thing with FHE (for me).  But I just decided that I would have to do it with or without him.  So I do, he has tried to make more of an effort to be here.  
It as been good for our family, I have to admit. 
 We made S'mores the other night for the treat, and Elleree ended up with chocolate from one end of her to the other.  Her shirt says it all.

That IS pretty dang exciting! (and scary)But I have no doubts Jason will do well. I bet Jason is over the moon...who even says that anymore?

Good for you with the blog book. I think "maybe" if I did that I "might" be motivated to post more...I would like to know where/how you got it done? Can you email or facebook message the details?

That lil Ellereebee is quite a character - wonder where that comes from? ..... :0)

Yeah Congrats to you guys!!! I love that you said Jerome holds a little piece of the american dream...it is so true. oh and where do you print your blog book? I have tried blog2print but not blurb..any thoughts? And hats off...hands down...golden star to you for holding FHE for a year. You are my inspiration...I am gonna work on it. Because we are horrible about it and I even have a consistent other half.

uh just read my comment...when I say consistent other half I mean he is here consistently but thats all. :)

CONGRATULATIONS!!

It has been a long time coming indeed.
I too would be scared shitless. I always have to figure out the worst that could happen financially, and if I can live with that, then it helps me go ahead.
Good luck to you all!

Now... I was certain that a primary motivator for your blogging was so you could help keep your favorite aunt connected. This book thing is all well and good, but surely your concern for the mental stability of your aunt comes first?

I'm super impressed you have done FHE for a year. There should be an award!
I'll jot off a note to the first presidency tonight.

Congrats to Jason! That IS a scary leap of faith but it is good that you are supportive. We'll have to see it in person this summer when we come down.
I too want to know how you got your blog published?? I have often thought i should print mine out. it would be closest thing I have to keeping a journal.
And huge KUDOS to you for doing FHE. I have only ever dreamed of doing it and it is probably too late in the game now. You go girl!!

Congratulations! Good for Jason! I'm not a risk taker so I totally understand how you would be scared to death...sometimes trusting is soooo hard!

Jelous of your blog book! I haven't done one, yet. Someday....

Love the last picture of Elleree...I think a couple of my kids needs one of those LOL's shirts...awesome.

Congratulations! And good for you. Having FHE by yourself is almost as scary as buying a business ;) Also jealous of your book. Still haven't done last years... or about 4 years before that. Huh
