My Wedding Ring

Well, Kenny and I have been married for 7 years and 7 months. On one hand it doesn't seem like we have been married that long, and on the other hand it seems that we have been together forever. Kenny and I picked out my wedding ring together, which I was very grateful for because I got exactly what I wanted - something small and beautiful. I wanted to be able to feel like I could wear my ring every day. The ring was made of two bands, the engagment band, and the wedding band; after we were married we had the two soldered together. A couple weeks ago I was moving some rather large rocks in my yard, and didn't even think to remove my ring first. The two bands got tweaked, and one of them broke in half. The nice thing was that I could still wear the ring because one band was still good. Just last week I was up at the Lund cabin - a very large beautiful house that my brother-in-law Steve Francom built for Allen Lund and his family out at Long Canyon. After a tour of the beautiful cabin and landscaping we sat down to dinner. For some reason I looked down at my left hand, and where my diamond used to be was a huge gaping hole - my diamond was gone! I was hit with a feeling of shock and horrer, and I let out a very audible gasp. Of course everyone wanted to know what was wrong. It was all I could do to keep from bursting into tears as I told my dear husband that I had lost the diamond out of my wedding ring. The Lund family immediately initiated a search party, and a reward was offered to the one who found the diamond, but no one did. When I got home I searched my house and my car and my yard, but still no diamond. I was so sick! The crazy thing is that Kenny actually apologized to me that I lost my diamond! He is such an awesome guy. For now I am wearing a silver band that he gave me for Christmas until we can get a new diamond and get my ring fixed. I'm just grateful that my lost diamond doesn't mean I am not married anymore!

Fourth of July

We had a great 4th of July weekend. It started on Thursday with a party for all the employees at Recapture Metals. Stetson even had a friend there! My cousin's son, Justin Hunt, and his wife Talia had a baby girl, Nya, just three weeks after Stetson. Justin works out a Recatpture Metals, so they were at the party. Stetson and Nya were so cute together, we just had to take a picture.President Redd, a co-worker, our Stake President, a dear friend, and Grandpa Lem to Stetson is a great photographer. He took this cute picture of me and Stetson at the party.

The drill team built two floats for the parade, they also did a mini drill camp with the participants marching in the parade, so we were very busy the morning of the Fourth trying to get everything ready. Kenny and Stetson were kind enough to drive the truck for the mini drill team participants, and Grandpa Lem got another cute photo.

After the parade we disassebled the floats and the drill team girls ran a dunking booth for the kids to cool off on a hot summer day. After that we went home and Stetson and I had a nap. Later on we watched several members of my family participate in the Horse Games. Then it was back to Centennial Park for dinner and the fireworks. When we sat down to eat, Stetson managed to grab my bowl of beans and spill it all over me, him, the diaper bag, his hat, and everything else in close vicinity. The fireworks were awesome! I really don't think there is better place to be on the 4th of July than in good old Blanding, Utah! Here is a picture of my two cowboys on the Fourth of July.The next day was the Grover family reunion. It was great to be able to spend a little time with family that we don't see very often. Thanks to Uncle Gordon and Aunt Elaine for a great reunion. During the talent show that evening, Stetson decided to wear his dad's cowboy hat, and I got a cute photo.
