Riehle News

I just wanted to let everybody know what life is like here with us "Riehle People"
I am still having all the fun I can stand. We just had a Stake Temple day and it inspired me to get some names for myself to take. So I have been working at my family history and I was able to get Grandma Carrillo's Grandparents Juliana & Pablo Salazar names ready for the temple. I have also been making hats with the ladies at school. I am making them with a loom.
Jay has been working steady his company has had to take different loads but he is still working as usual. His birthday is coming up and we plan on going to the Draper temple open house and his favorite place to eat famous Dave's.
J.J., Sam and Rocky are doing just fine. J.J. has applied for as many jobs as he can. Rocky is crawling and Sam is staying busy with her part time job and keeping J.J. happy. They will be celebrating their first anniversary on March 8Th.
Andy is still going to USU and he is busy with his church calling as a 2ND councilor in the Elders quorum. He is very helpful around the house and he plans on helping his grandma Riehle with her cabinets during spring break.
Peter is tracting most of the time but he tries to teach as much as possible. He is coming home very soon. He thinks he will be home June 3rd. I am very excited!
Alex is still working at Wendy's he will become a manager in the next month or so. He just left for a trip with his friend Tyrell. They went to California to visit his family before he goes on a mission to Texas.
Lacey is doing fine. She just had an orchestra concert and continues to play the piano. But her favorite music isn't classical. She loves to listen to her teen music and watch American Idol. She just got through with church basketball. Every time the ball came to her she would scream and back away or give the ball away. We should have captured it for U Tube.
So that is a little glimple of my so called Riehle Life.

Rocky's Ouchies




Last week Rocky was visiting his other Grandmas house and while there he got some ouchies. The chips fell on the floor and he headed straight for them as well as the dogs and then he got in the middle of a dog fight. To my releif he is fine. They are putting anti scar neosporin on his sores. It is funny J.J. never got in a dog fight he was always hanging around the dog food bowl.
Let the chips fall were they may but not on little Rocky!

Goals

Every year I try to set some goals for myself. But this year I am having a hard time finding worthwhile goals to set. I guess that is why I have started so late. But here are a few goals I want to work on. I want to read more often, I want to dejunk my house and keep it that way, keep out of debt(which was one of my goals from last year, by the way I met that goal I have no credit card debt. Yeah!) and manage my time and money better. I would like to spend more time with my adult children, and strengthen my marriage. I mostly want to take care of myself this year by eating right,exercising and taking time to do things that are enjoyable to me. I hope to full fill these goals but if not I will become a better person just for trying don't you think?
