This month sure went by fast! I just can't seem to get caught up with this Blog.
So here is what has happened to our family in October.
I finally got my car fixed after 4 months of waiting for the Apollo Motor homes to submit my claim. And the insurance really didn't help me much. So we switched insurance and we got a better coverage for about the same money.
Me and my Mom and sister Tina took my sister Tammy out for her Birthday.
Us girls went to see Little Shop of Horrors and out for Mexican food. We had a great time and we really enjoyed the day.
I have been trying to build up our food storage and I now have a full freezer and full shelves from my garden. It is a good feeling!
Jay has been working a lot. He has to take extra side trips and he has to leave on his days off. But we are glad he is working. A lot of people in our area are getting laid off. We feel so blessed to have good jobs. He is a great husband and a wonderful provider.
Andy is working at the recycle plant and going to school. I am glad he is keeping busy.
Peter is busy with his Young Adult activities at church and he is working hard at jiffy lube and in December he is off to Laramie Wyoming to diesel mechanic school.
Lacey participated in a FFA flower arranging contest at Snow college and she is finished with cross country for the year. She finally finished her room it is so very bright and fun!
J.J. is looking to get a job still and Sam and Rocky are doing fine. Rocky is starting to talk a lot now. He is counting, his favorite number is 7.
Alex is just working hard at Wendy's and doing well.
Our dogs are having a good time outside while the weather is warm. Our basset hound Seymour is getting so big!
We are just plugging a long just like the rest of you. We hope you have a great Halloween and a wonderful November. I now I will this is my favorite time of year.

What's been happening?
It has been forever since I have wrote in this blog. I now have to catch up on Riehle news.
The fair was wonderful and fun! Lacey did pretty good. she came in 5th in her class. Jay's boss B&B trucking bought again. They are great people and they always care & support our family.
All my boys are finally employed! Yeah! I have been praying for this for a long time. Peter got a job at ICON but took a job at jiffy lube 3 weeks later, because the hours are better and he gets to be a grease monkey. Andy goes to school at USU and part of the week he works for a recycling company in town. He also has a side business of cabinetry. He is also thinking of being a substitute teacher. J.J. found a job as a welder near Chicago. He really don't like the job because they never let him weld. He plans on going back to his old job when they open back up in December. But he is just glad he is working. Alex is still at Wendy's and he is a manager. He went on vacation to Indiana to see J.J. and his family.
Rocky and his parents are doing fine. he is growing so fast and he is talking a lot.
I am now working at Garland Elementary. I love the little kids they are so fun! I really enjoy my job, it is less stressful and the ladies are so nice. I do miss all the nice cooks at the middle school and bugging Lacey as she came by the line.
Lacey is almost done painting her room. pink,orange,blue,green. it is bright and fun. She also decided to quit the cross country team and be the manager. she isn't built to run. she twisted her ankle to many times. Now she can be a part of the team but she don't have to run.
Jay has been trucking a long and he is enjoying his new best friend Seymour the basset hound.
I have been busy working on our food storage. I had a rebate visa card and I hit the stores with case lot sales. I purchased a lot of items and it didn't break my budget. I have been busy canning, so far I have made 24 bottles of salsa and 20 bottles of tomatoes. And 15 bottles of pears. I am also buying 1/2 a beef from the janitor at Garland so I better clean out my freezer.
A not so fun thing that I have been doing all summer and now it is getting into the fall. I have been trying to get my car repaired by Apollo motor home. In June a guy from Italy rented a motor home and he hit my parked car at Wendy's parking lot and he didn't have any information so I have been trying to track down there insurance and the people in charge (the main company is in Australia).
It has been a nightmare trying to get them to do anything. I have made a little progress and it looks like there is a light at the end of the tunnel. An adjuster came and looked at my car. and I have a real claim number and it has only taken me 4 months to get this far. I wonder what it would have been like if I had just left it up to them.
On a brighter note. everybody is healthy and happy and enjoying life for now. I am looking forward to Fall my favorite time of the year.

25 years of Eternal Happiness
We have been sealed in the Temple for all time and All Eternity for 25 years. I can still remember that feeling of Joy knowing I would be together forever with my best friend. We celebrate it usually by going to the temple but this year I went on a trip with my husband in his semi truck we went to Las Vegas (of all places to celebrate a religious event.) But it was fun being in the truck with him. But the next weekend we went to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple open house. And to our favorite place on earth to eat, Famous Dave's. And we went to a concert of the Army National Guard Band at the Tabernacle. Jay loves that kind of music, and I love to watch him sing a long and lead the music. Finally we had a ice cream treat at Nielson and ate it while we cruised down main street in Bountiful our old stomping grounds. What a wonderful date. We should do them more often. don't you think?
