Trying to stay afloat!

Yikes Ive been busy! Like the title im just trying to stay afloat right now--
Ive been able to sell all 20 tickets to see Wicked WHEW--Ive sent out the letter Rachel & I put together to help her raise her funds to go to DC (we're up to 2290 out 3500) THANK YOU TO THOSE FAMILIES THAT HAVE DONATED TOWARDS THIS---SO THANKFUL!!!

I have been CRAZY busy with this food run I keep doing 5 days a week-for the past couple of weeks it hasnt been as much food as we typically get-but WOW have things changed!! we've been getting about 35-40 boxes PER DAY--here are some photos of that..





there are many many many families that are just plain struggling right now financially--Im really blessed to be able to feed my family & excited that I can help feed all of these other families (we're up to 40 families now)-they are all so grateful & are so kind to give me hugs & thank me for the hard work Tracy & myself do each morning-its a WONDERFUL way to start your day like this everyday i have to say!! i SO LOVE IT!!!
they continue to donate money towards my gas which I am so thankful for considering gas is 4.35 a gallon!! GEESH!

Here is a COMPLETE meal that was all free from my daily food runs-is this awesome or what!


On saturday we had Nathan Espinoza & his mom mow our FOREST in the backyard-it looks HUGE now that the tall grass is all gone-Jason Scoville started the ordeal by weed WHACKING the heck out of it first--thanks guys for bringing my backyard back!!

School is out this thursday at 12noon--its just been busy with activites..i'll be glad when that is all over---Anna had her graduation today-it was oh so cute--her teacher told us that she just loves anna & that she is just the sweetest little girl--

Kristi is in town from Utah-so we'll be playing lots with them-including the BEACH come friday-WHOO HOO i love having older girls that can just hang at the beach so i can SIT at the beach--the next day we'll be with my family for Dad's Day, followed by hanging with jons family on sunday for Dad's day--so busy busy week followed by a busy busy weekend!

Jon is doing great--i took him to the dr to get a prescription refilled & his blood pressure was 107/82 which is great! he's usually 75/50--so that was fun to hear! He hasnt been able to work out as much due to life just being so busy over here-i continue to work him tuesdays, his mom thursdays & his dad fridays-we're in the works of trying to find someone or a few to work him out for an hour monday/tues/wed so that he has a good system down--he really is doing good though-still waiting to see if we get any bites on his book..he's currently working on ANOTHER website that can be extremely useful to the public-so most of his day is spent behind the computer working on that--he continues to work as the duty to god cordinator & has an entire database he built from scratch (of course!) to keep everyone & everything organized-its quite impressive!!

Well its been a VERY long day & started with little sleep--off to bed!

I'm glad Jon is doing well. Man that seems like quite a lot of work to do the food run every day. I'm sure people really really appreciate everything you've helped to do. You're awesome!!
