So we went on another little ROAD TRIP!!! We went to Mt. Rush More. It was way fun. We got there nice and early in the morning so there was not a lot of other people there, which is always a plus not being surrounded by who knows! Dont you just hate when your like at Disney Land and there is 100,000 people there or more and all you want to say is "dont touch me!" Well it was very nice not having a lot of people there, you just get a special feeling when you get to ponder about things in a little bit of peace. Getting the chance to read about our 4 wonderful presidents (besides Lincoln according to my husband) and getting to know how Mt Rush More was built was very interesting. They did 90% of it by blasting it away with dyamite, and Thomas Jefferson was first built on the left of George Washington but because there was not enough Rock they couldnt finish the job. They blasted that face away and started Thomas Jefferson on the Right side. Well on our way home from Mt. Rush More we stopped by Crazy Horse, which still is not finish, its been about 50 years! We stopped by one other place, Fort LIM.....something, I forgot the name already! I thought it was a great place even thought I cant remember its name. It is a national park, I just go to so many I can not keep them all straight in my head. This Fort was used for Pioneers to stop for supply heading out west, and then later used as a military fort to help protect pioneers from the Indians. Our little Road trip was awesome! I learned so much!

So here I am, with all the time in the world. Looks like I need to do some posting about whats been going on! I live in Greeley, Colorado. We are now in the Glenmere ward, and every body is soooooo nice. When we first got here, we just showed up to church and the luck had us and it was our ward we now belong to. So that first Sunday, I was looking around I could have sworn I knew this lady in the front row. Jess was like, "YOU DONT KNOW EVERYBODY" kind of attitude, but I was almost positive. But how could we move to another state and I still know at least one person. Well of course I did, I am Rochelle, it was my old Bishop's sister in law. I knew there family from growing up in Pima, everybody knows everybody there, but it was so nice to see a face I could recognize in a new place. I just want to say, WHAT A SMALL WORLD! Now that we have been here for awhile, there is actually a couple of family's here from the Graham County, so I guess I was right, what a small world. We just found out the other day that we can start school in the Fall. That is so exciting we get to start a whole semester early! We are established residents now because Jess is a VA. Good part of being in the service, you get some benefits here and there. We are getting classes and scholarships ready to go. It was a good thing that Jess and I got some good grades from EAC to get some transfer scholarships. If everything goes according to plan we should be getting paid money back to go to school. Thats how it is suppose to be, gosh darn it! Well those of you who have been following my blog, you have notice that I deleted all my old post. I decided that since we are here in Greeley, starting a new life, I should start some new posts! So here we go, on our new adventure! I love all my family and friends just want you guys to know that. Family and Friend really keep you going when things get tough, and sometimes you just need a little encouragement to know that your not alone fighting a battle in this world!
