Life Goes On...

Isn't it so crazy that no matter how tough things are-no matter what changes occur in your life, that it somehow goes on? Sometimes you just want to cry and you don't want to be happy. You don't want to move on. But life won't let you do that! It keeps on keeping on, and so many good and happy things happen that you can't help but let go of the past and be happy again! I'm so grateful for my wonderful family and friends that make life easier to just go on when things get rough! I love you guys! You're so great! :D

The last FIFTEEN years :)

Both my mom and Nanette did a 20 years list that said all of the things they had done in the last 20 years, 10, 5, etc., well I decided that I would try and come up with a list for me except, obviously, I can't start at 20 years because I haven't even been alive that long :) lol, so this will be a little different than theirs, but that same concept :)

Trip to Montana :)

Last Friday I went on a trip to Anaconda and Butte, Montana with my Mom, my Grandpa Smith, and my Aunts, Becky and Leslie. We had such a blast! At least I did :)This is Grandpa, Aunt Leslie and I under the "Entering Montana" sign!
This is me and my pal Mr. KFC at his restaurant in Butte :)

While my aunts took Grandpa to his 60th class Reunion train ride, my mom and I went all around town looking for a place in Anaconda that was open so we could buy some t-shirts for us to remember the trip by. All the stores closed up at 5 pm there! It was ridiculous! In the end we found some at a gas station right before we went to go pick up my aunts and Grandpa. On our little adventure, we stopped at Washoe park where there was this little greenhouse type thing with pretty flowers in it and that's where these two pictures come from :)


Ah, isn't she pretty? :) She matches the flowers!

This picture is of my Mom, Grandpa and me standing next to Granny and Grandpa's grave on Sunday after church before we went to Grandpa's reunion picnic at Washoe Park

These two pictures were also taken on our adventure to find Anaconda t-shirts. We drove to Georgetown Lake to see if they had a gift shop there-isn't it pretty? :)

Montana was a blast and I had so much fun spending all that time with my mom and getting to hang out with my Aunts and Grandpa! Anaconda is such a fun town! I even learned how to do geneology on the ride there ;) lol, imagine that!
