Something old but new to us

It's been awhile. 
Let's just leave it at that.

I am going to update and fill you in on things that have been going on. Many of you may not care to much but I would like to keep track of my life. This seems like the only way for me at the moment. So bare with me.

November 11, 2012
Adam and I spoke in our old ward. Our topic was on Gratitude. It was a great lead up to Thanksgiving and also a way for me to tell all the people in the ward that had truly helped me in my life. Our life. I cried. A lot. But it went well. It was hard to say good bye to some great friends over the pulpit, but we are keeping in touch. Mostly the reason I cried is because I was on a hormone drug that made me very emotional. I'll get into that story more later.

Adam turned 32!


I made this yummy cake. 
Nice touch with the M&M's right?




Adam and his presents. Doesn't he look so excited? He was very grateful for the presents. He got a new mailbox from his family. We'll be putting that up in the spring.  
He also got some Xbox games. 
Thanks everyone for the gifts, cards and wishes!

November 21-25, 2012
All of the Hardman's headed to St. George for Thanksgiving this year. Even Adam's Sister and her family flew in from Arkansas. Everyone was together! It has been a little while since that has been able to happen. And guess what? I did not take ONE picture! We had a wonderful time. The weather was perfect! We ate Thanksgiving lunch outside in the back yard. It was beautiful. I had my FIRST, yes first, experience with Black Friday shopping. Or I guess Black Thursday Shopping. I went with my 2 sister-in-laws Jill and DeDee! We went out at 8PM and got home at the lovely hour of 2AM. We had some good times together! I only bought a few things.  On Saturday morning, after getting a few hours of sleep,  I meet up with my brother, sister-in-law and the nephews for breakfast! They spent Thanksgiving in St. George as well. But they were with my sister-in-laws family. I am glad we got to spend a little time with them. When it was time to go home, we didn't want to go home. But we had to get back to the life of working.



Now here are all the pictures you have been waiting for. 
Here is our new HOME!

It has a laundry shoot that is under the oven in the kitchen above.

Other end of the finished living room


cold storage under the front porch.


This is our new home and we can't be anymore excited and grateful to be here. I will post pictures of what it looks like now, soon. Mostly they will be pictures with our furniture inside. We haven't done really anything to our new home. Everything works and is in the best shape ever! We have hopes and dreams of what this place will look like one day, but for now, we are content. 

In the spring I will also post pictures of our yard. We have a 1/3 of an acre. There is one HUGE section  in the back yard for a nice garden area. The cold storage above will be full of lots of food from the garden and the fruit trees already in the back yard.

Those are some awesome pictures of Jason! :) I'm so glad we got to see you guys at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Too bad that cute little house can't just be picked up and moved here. :)
