MaRGie’S HOME!

Ok I know that this is news post is a little old to begin with, but I wanted to post something about my sister Margie coming home from her mission in CHILE and about my week vacation that I got to spend with my family.

First off: MARGIE IS HOME!!! Yeah! She flew in to Boise Idaho on June 23, 2009. She got home around 12:20pm. She looks so good and is talking Spanish like we all know what she is saying. In all honesty… I only pretend to know what she is talking about and then I move on with life. Margie has been very fun to be around during this adjustment time... the first thing she did when she got home was get a glass of REAL 100% Cow milk (fresh from the cow and into our fridge) and sit on the carpet to drink it. She has also been going thru the cupboards in our kitchen and saying wow you have crackers, cheese, cold cereal, peanut butter... and much, much more. She gave a wonderful talk about her mission last Sunday, and I have enjoyed learning all about her mission, she had a great time and like most missionaries she wants to go back. Here are some pictures from her arrival off the airplane.

Margie is here!

Also since Margie was coming home and Stewart and I are moving to WV here in a few weeks I wanted to spend some time with my family home on the farm one last time. So on Monday before Margie came home Stewart dropped me off in Burley where my Mom and Sister Katie picked me up so I could spend the week in Bruneau. During my week at home on the farm I went on walks around the farm, helped around the house because my mom got the flu, and a lot of things I have missed doing since I am always at work (so it seems). Here are some pictures from my weeks stay.

Shout Out To My Family:
I do want to give a shout out to my family and tell them I LOVE YOU!!! Thanks so much for letting me be home with you. I enjoyed being with you all, I had a great time and of course I did not want it to end. I already miss you! Also thanks for all your many sacrifices in Stewarts and my behalf, we will never be able to tell you thanks enough. I LOVE YOUR GUTS!!!

Emily goes to the MTC

On Wednesday June 10th, my youngest sister Emily entered the MTC. I almost did not go, but am soooo glad that I went to wish her luck. It was a bitter sweet day… mainly because it is the beginning of change for me. I don’t really enjoy change all that much, so to see Emily enter the MTC and to know that I will be in West Virginia when she gets home is kind of hard. I am not going to say I did not cry… because I did (just a little).

I am so proud of Emily… she has a great desire to serve a full time mission, and will do great in Nashville Tennessee. She already loves the people and knows this is what she needs to do at this time in her life. She will make a great missionary… she already is. Here are some pictures from are trip to Utah, enjoy:

THE NIGHT BEFORE

This is a picture of my Uncle and Aunt (Dan and Janice Hegerhorst) and my sister Emily. My Uncle and Aunt are in the MTC right now, preparing to go to Uruguay on a mission as well. What a neat experience for Emily to be with them in the MTC at the same time.

Janice eating a snail... I posted this picture mainly for my cousins: Jessica, Mitch and Christina to enjoy. Your parents are so excited, and are using as much Spanish as they can in their sentences.

THE BIG DAY

Sister Emily Hegerhorst... she is so cute!

P.S. If anyone is interested in reading some of her emails or looking at some pictures she sends us I started a blog in her behalf. You can find the link just to the left of this post; I will do my best to update it as much as possible.

PP.S. Not to detract from Sister Emily Hegerhorst but my other sister, Sister Margie Hegerhorst… comes home from Chile (her mission) in just 10 days!!!! Can’t wait!

Signature

Just learned how to follow my cousins example and add a personal signature to the bottom of our posts. Thought I would share the cool website that helped me do it. Best of luck!!!

Two Wonderful Amazing Years!

Today is Stewart and My 2nd wedding anniversary. Honestly I can’t believe that it has been two years it seems like it was just yesterday that we got married. It has been a great two years, Stewart and I have grown up a lot and most important we have grown closer together. When I look back over that past two years, I can see just how far we’ve come, it feels like instead of two different lives we are coming together to make one amazing life for the both of us. How blessed I am to have married such a wonderful man who deeply cares about me. He has taught me so much; I am a better person because of him and I would like to say that he is a better person because of me.

Stewart, I love you! Thanks for not letting go of my hand like you promised, may the next several years find us even more in love. Ti Amo, mio Principe!
