Hey Everybody - so the movers are here packing up my junk... and they want my computer??!!!! Can you believe that?!! How dang rude! So - I'm signing off for about a week and a half. We will supposedly get our stuff by the 28th at the latest. So, if I'm not responding to emails - that's why. We can still be gotten a hold of through our cell phones, (Bryan's : 435-851-2239; mine: 435-851-1509) at least for a few weeks, I think?? We'll be switching to Wyoming numbers soon, but will email and let everyone know our new phone numbers.

Hey, for all the local readers *wink wink* - thanks for all the HUGE amounts of support and help.

We love all of you............

So we're moving to Thermopolis.......

What more can be said? I promise to have one "Uncle Leroy" story at least once a week. (An explanation of who he is will come in the next post) I'm sure I'll be posting plenty of exciting photos about the exciting events that happen in exciting Wyoming. Or, at least you can see some cool pictures of us sitting around on the plains.

No matter what, it's been an adventure the last week and a half, and I'm sure it's only beginning.

I looked through my Young Womens Lesson that I'm suppose to give on Sunday, and have had a contemplative moment and thought I'd pass along a quote. Those that know the story of the last week will understand my tears as I read:

Elder Bruce R. McConkie defined these laws:

“Sacrifice and consecration are inseparably intertwined. The law of consecration is that we consecrate our time, our talents, and our money and property to the cause of the Church; such are to be available to the extent they are needed to further the Lord’s interests on earth.

“The law of sacrifice is that we are willing to sacrifice all that we have for the truth’s sake—our character and reputation; our honor and applause; our good name among men; our houses, lands, and families: all things, even our very lives if need be” (in Conference Report, Apr. 1975, p. 74; or Ensign, May 1975, p. 50).



So, on this note begins our "adventure", as so many of our loved ones have put it!
