It's Official

It's official, Tracie is now an RN. Congratulations to you Tracie. She took her boards on Friday the 13th and said that the test was very hard, she said it had lots of drug questions on it. On Monday the 16th she logged onto the computer and to her delight saw "Passed", what a relief that was to her. I finally got my Diploma in the mail, 2 months after graduation, before I could get a picture Tracie took her Diploma and mine to get them framed so I will have to put that picture up later. Let me tell you, I'm sure glad that I don't have to worry about starting school again in August.

Our New Truck

Can you believe it? It belongs to Tracie and I. Well sort of, we still have to pay for it. On Friday we rode out to Labrum Chevrolet in Heber to look at a used truck that they had called me on, Tracie and I didn't love that truck although it was very nice and in great condition. We started talking to Jeff and Danny and they started looking at new ones to see what kind of price we could get on a new one and this is what they found for us. We are so excited, both Tracie and I said we never thought we would have a new Truck but now we are. I am already planning all of the different things I can do now without having to ask dad to borrow his truck - go to the mountains, go hunting, go fishing, go to the drive-in and my list continues.

Fish On

Tracie finally returned home after being away for two weeks, boy is it hard to have her gone that long. I guess I just take it
for granted that she is always around when I need to see or be
around her. Well I went and picked her up at the airport, after her plane arrived at 2:00 a.m. ( 3 hours late ) It is good to have her home. On the way home we stopped by Cabelas because I wanted to look at their Flyrods - just look - well looking turned into purchasing. I ended up buying a new Sage flyrod and a Cabelas brand reel. I guess we will just call it an early Anniversary present. Well of course now I have a new rod I needed to see if it works. Friday morning I got up and drove to Vernal to go fishing with one of my friends that I play softball with, his In - Laws own some land on the Ashley Creek above Vernal. We fished for about 2 hours and I caught 3 good sized Browns and had another on that ended up getting off. Well I'm glad to report that the new Flyrod works.

Tracie's New Hobby

Hello once again. Tracie went home to Mississippi for two weeks to visit. While there she took some pictures of her sister (Kelli) and her fiance Kaleb with her new camera that Greg gave her. These are just a few of the pictures that she took. They turned out great. We look forward to being able to take this camera places to catch some more of the adventures that we experience. Tracie had a good time using the camera and saving Kelli and Kaleb some money. They are getting married Nov. 15 so they wanted some pictures that would still look good for that time of the year. Tracie is excited to take more pictures of family and some of the places she visits.
While Tracie was home she got to visit with her family, eat lots of good food, paint the bathrooms in her Mama and Daddy's house and she got to ride with her brother Jason in his patrol car. Jason locked up two drunks while Tracie was riding with him; Tracie said it was really funny when Jason told one of the drunk guys that she worked for the federal government. The guy said "SHE'S A FED!" Tracie said Jason has a really tough job sometimes having to deal with those people who don't want a better life and don't care what they do. Anyway she had a really good time hanging out with her family.
