Worst weekend ever!!

So this weekend was Bad! I started out okay. Shawn was leaving on friday morning to help his friend Matt drive thier car to florida. We woke up had a wonderful morning together (breakfast, a walk, ect). Beautiful right? The boys left around 1pm and Kiley and I spent the afternoon together and went to the Pemrock film festival. Fun! While Shawn's out there somewhere driving i go to sleep around 11pm. (with a sleeping pill ofcourse) Not too bad. I wake up (sat. morring) and go yard selling and get 3 dressers, a nihgt stand, and 3 games all for $11. Great! I re-finish the dresser-mirror night stand set, color and cut Summers hair, and went to the library. Shawn- still driving somewhere out there on 2 hours of sleep! At around 7pm I go to the Cloyds for fight night. I had a blast with the boys and my good friend Angela. I think Shawn is somewhere in Nebraska about now. All is well... till mid-night I start feeling really sick. I mean REALLY, REALLY sick. the kind that you would rather die then have to endour. By the morning I couldn't even move with out throwing up. :( Shawn called to say good morning and i couldn't even talk so we had to text. He had to get someone to cover my sunday school class and someone who could check on me so I wouldn't be dead when he got home that night. Summer came over and saved me. She made me eat and drink. Thanks Summer!! Well... I bet you're wondering what Shawn's up too. You see the van Matt was driving was not driving so great. So.. the boys pulled over to have a little look. Lo and behold 2 tires were shot! Wires sticking out and all. So for the next couple of hours they were buying new tires and getting a rotation. I can't remember what state they were in. Somewhere down south. As for me i'm still dieing in bed!

Okay recap... It's Sunday. Shawn is driving and I'm sick in bed.

Shawn and Matt got to Florida with just enough time for Shawn to catch his flight back home. So they thought. They got there 5 minutes to late, of the 30 minutes before the flight rule, and the Not Very Nice people at the airport would not let him on to his flight! So now Shawn has to wait till the 9am flight the next morning. If you're wondering I'm still sick in bed wanting to die even more now with a fever of 102*. Shawn called his parents to come and check on me and make sure I was eating and drinking. Summer had to stop coming over becaues now I had a fever and she has little baby Sayla at home to keep safe. Shawns parents were great! They made me food , told me about there trip they just got home from, his mom put her always cold hands on my burning head and his dad even did the dishes. Thanks Guys.

Monday mornig...

My dad calls and drops by around noon to bring me lunch. Thanks Daddy! Shawn gets to the airport gets on the plane and starts leaning about what to do in an emergency. Everythings Great right? Wrong!!! The pilot gets on the intercom and says there is something wrong with the engine and they have to fix it.Shawn gets off and has to get in a line to see what can be done about getting him home (to his sick wife). They say all the flights are full and they have to wait for the part to be ordered in (3 hours) and instaled (3 hours= total of 6 hours). And he can't leave the airport because when its done they're leaving. No beach for him :( sad! About 6 hours later they get on the plane to leave and still no go. Shawn ends up spending the night at the airport hotel and catching the 6am flight to Houston and the 9am flight from there to Salt Lake. Ariving at 11:52am Tuesday! By then I was determind to get out of bed and pick him up myself!

If that was'nt a bad weekend I don't know what is!!


p.s. Even though it sucked it was no ones fault and we aren't mad at all. Life happens and you just have to role with it. I'm at like 87% now and Shawn is home safe! Life is all good again! Thanks for everyones help and love. Good luck in Florida Matt and Kiley and Jackson!!! We miss you already.

Job News!

Hi everyone! This is Sally. I wanted to let you all know that I'm not working at 'Husband & Wife" anymore. Everything is fine, there were just things that weren't working out so the split had to be made. It's a wonderful store and I encourage all to go. I know I will. I got this job as something fun to do during the day. If it's not fun it's not worth it. So this time we think I'll take a class or get a new hobbie instead of a job. I still do hair. Shawn's job is working out great and we are very excited about our lives and the path we're on! Peace Out!

A Beautiful Night at the Temple!

Last night our stake had a special temple session at Mt. Timp. Our Stake President, who happens to be Shawns dad, is getting released on Sunday. So someone from the temple presidency spoke to us (all from the stake who attended). It was a lovely talk about the temple and God's plan for us! There was such a Great turn out that 50 people were asked to attened a different session because ours was already full. I've never been to a ward/stake temple session were so many people came. It touched my heart that so many people that I know/ in our stake love the Lord and the Temple as much as I do. I LOVE the Temple so much. Even now as I'm typing, recalling the spirit from last night, I'm crying. Thank you to all thoughs in my life that have been such a Wonderful example to me and also thoughs in my Sweet husbands life!! I'm excited to see who the Lord picks to be our next Stake President!!! I'll let you know when we find out on Sunday.

What a Weekend!!

On Saturday night Shawn had a soccer game. His Dad, Mom, Tyson, Moritz, Dustin, Whitany, and Cade came to cheer him on. With about 15 minutes left in the game Shawn was contending with another guy for the ball. His legs were swept out from under him and he landed on his left ankle very hard. they had to help him off the field. After some time thinking he could just "walk it off" he came to the realization(?) that he was really hurt. After the game ended we hurried home to take care of the his ankle. As far as we could all tell it was brocken and we couldn't have that. not with Shawn staring a buissness and having only Cobra! Shawn asked his Dad and brother Dustin to give him a blessng. What a beautiful blessing it was. He was blessed that his ankle had already started to heal and would continue to heal quickly. This is what happened.....

Right after his blessing.... So sad!!


If you're wondering the hurt ankle is on the left...


This is what it looked like the next morning!!


Night......
