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!

Lots of News

Wow, what a marathon week! Stewart and I officially moved out our apartment into his Grandparents home here in Pocatello. We spent three days solid packing, moving, and cleaning the apartment. It was a lot of work but we got it done. I never knew how much stuff we had… and now I do. We have been very blessed to have Stewart's Grandma and Grandpa Hudson take pity on us and allow us to move in to their home and live with them until July when we officially move to West Virginia. Because of their generosity we will save a lot of much needed money to help us get going in WV. We owe a BIG thank you to not only the Hudson’s but to our Home Teacher, Jared Pugmire and our great friend Ben Murray who came on Friday morning to help us move our big items. THANK YOU! You both made our task easier, you both rock! We turned our keys into the landlords last night, it kind of weird to think that we are ending this chapter of our lives and starting a new one soon. For those of you who want our new address send me an email and I will give it to you.

Other big news before I end this post is that after weeks of searching and getting frustrated and discouraged we finally found an apartment in West Virginia! Can I get a WAHOO!!! It is such a BIG relief to have that detail taken care of. Most of the credit if not all of the credit for finding us a home goes to Stewart, he did a lot of work calling and searching for us all from Idaho. We know this is where we need to be, we had some neat experiences that helped reassure us that this was right. At least I hope it is right, we actually have not seen any pictures of what our apartment looks like inside… all we have is a picture of what our apartment looks like from the outside(which we did not see until after we committed to renting the place). So here is to the big sigh of relief and to hoping that the place looks just as good inside as it does outside.

This is a 4 plex, we are renting the apartment on the far right behind the pink tree

SLC FUN

So about three weeks ago Stewart and I decided to go to Salt Lake City for a few days to enjoy some much needed time together away from Pocatello. We went to celebrate him graduating from ISU and our two year anniversary which is coming soon. We had a great time, and made a lot of memories. We are trying to do things together that we have always talked about doing but have been putting it off, and since we are moving here in a few months we are now crossing things off our list. So while in Salt Lake we went to: the Planetarium, Hogle Zoo, visited with my mission president and good friend Britt, ate at a very interesting restaurant named the “Tin Angel”, and took a tour of the LDS Conference Center. Here are a few pictures from our trip, enjoy!!
