You guys!! OMG I am so lame!  So alot has changed.  We live in Benjamin now.  We love where we live.  Richard started a new job with Kennicot.  He retired from the prison 02/15/18.  I am a travel nurse in Cheyenne Wyoming.  Been doing that since April.  Jackson lives with his girlfriend and their dog.  Life moves so fast and things change over night! 

holy moly I am a slacker!!  I have almost forgot about my blog.. So a lot has happened since last year.. I am almost done with RN school!!! Been to Disneyland!  Jackson is in 8th grade loving life!  We have our girls who are so much fun!!!  I will post a few pictures and try to add something here daily! let me know you are reading!

Where has the year gone?

WOW!!! December 14th already!?!  I have no idea where this year has gone.  It has been a great year.. lots of things have happened.. I am in RN school.. Richard is working like crazy and Jackson is enjoying being a pre-teen!!!  We still work like crazy and run around like crazy people.  But we are happy and that is all that matters.  Jackson enjoyed football this year.  Even though they did not play in the championships he still had a great time!  We are loving Nephi and our lives.  More to come I promise :)  Heres some pix for now

Well... I have started nursing school!! YAY!!! Not going to be easy but it will be so worth it! I am attending Ameritech in Draper where the program is highly successful! I will be finished August 2013 with RN, ADN. I am so darn excited.. As for Richard and Jackson life with them remain busy. Jackson turned 12 today.. I simply cannot believe it!!! He is such a good boy.. He is playing basketball here in Nephi and doing so well... Last night in all the excitment he tried to make a basket on the opposing teams side...ooooopss.. so funny though!! He is a good sport and shows good sportsmanship which is what I will forever attempt to instill into him! Richard is working days as a Sgt in housing and doing well... He rides his motorcycle often with a good friend so that is great.. he crashes sometimes often which scares me horribly... We are still loving Nephi... So glad we are here... My family seems to be doing well... Jessica's boys are growing so fast.. attached are some pics... I will update as often as I can.. RN school is going to be busy but exciting and just what we need!!!

My dear sweet Tiffany Ann Tidwell Cox

Friday January 7, 2011 Tiffany passed away.. I cannot describe the pain I have felt since learning about this.. I have been so heart broken.. Poor Josh called me Saturday morning and told me the dreaded news.. I had just talked to Tiffany friday night on facebook.. awe I would give anything ANYTHING to have just one more conversation with her!!! Well.. a little bit about my dear sweet friend... She and I met while working together at UVRMC on the cardiovascular floor.. we were friends instantly.. we would laugh together, cry together.. but it was fun to work together.. I would go home with her on my 3 day on and stay at her house with her cute family.. Oh how kind they were to me!!! We continued to be friends on from there.. they would come down to Jackson's birthday parties and we got together quite a bit.. oh it was fun.. After I quit UVRMC Tiffany continued working there.. she then took a job with the Health department.. she was the director of nursing.. I was so proud of her!!! She had worked so hard and was a terrific nurse.. She continued her education and earned her masters in nursing in 2010.. I will never forget the day she called and told me "I am now.. Tiffany Cox, RN MSN" It was such a huge accomplishment!!! Tiffany was currently teaching at UVU.. I will miss her.. she taught me so much.. She had a cute cute cute personality.. wonderful smile.. there was nothing about Tiffany that I did not love.. She has 2 cute kids.. Toshany and McCade.. I will never forget when Toshany came to stay with us.. awe what a sweet sweet girl.. and McCade.. when Tiff told me she was pregnant.. oh we both were so thrilled.. Tiffany also married a great man.. Josh is a fantastic person.. he was so good to her.. Tiffany I talked weekly and sometimes daily.. and never short conversations either.. she knew everything about me as I did about her.. I am so sad.. I am going to miss her so much.. I already miss her!!
May she forever Rest In Peace..

There is a true sisterhood/brotherhood here that I have never ever felt before!!! We moved to Nephi.. huge step for us.. but it has been perfect!!Richard got a motorcycle.. yikes... Nephi is treating us so good!!! Richard got a promotion which makes me so proud.. Jessica had a baby who is clear perfect!! Christian turned 7 cant believe how cute and fun he is!!! Lets see... what else... It has been an amazing growing experience for me and my family... My heart stopping could of been the worst thing in the world but it seemed to pull us together.. I sure do love my family!!! That is about all I guess... The year went by super fast..

This will for sure make my nerves nuts!!

Best Monday!

So I had the absolute best Monday yesterday!!! Parley got to come spend the day with me and it was so fun!!! I wore him clear out by laying outside looking at the sky, playing on the porch watching the kitties, laying on the floor rollin over, cuddling... yep I played with him all day!! I had a hard time letting him take a 20 minute little power nap cuz I just wanted to hold him!!!! He is so cute!! I wore his little cheekers out by kissing them.. Jess said they were so red cuz I had kissed kissed kissed them :) but he is so perfect!!! I love her boys!! I miss the time that christian just wanted to hang out with me.. now he is a busy body and I nearly have to capture him to kiss him.. but he is perfect too.. Anyway BEST MONDAY EVER!!!
