We Moved To Texas!!!

Arriving via Air Plane to San Antonio




I am the type of girl who has no problem telling people what I think from the bad parents at Walmart to the people texting in movie theaters. I have no issue speaking up to strangers and tell them what I think but when it comes to goodbyes, at my core I am wimp. I know I can hear your sarcastic gasps through the screen. I owe apologies to several close buddies, who blowes out of town and doesn't leave a forwarding address? Creeps like me, that's who. For those of you who don't know Cookie accepted a job at the University of Phoenix in San Antonio Tx. The perks include a free Masters degree for him and a free second Bachelors degree for me and the bonus is an adventure for our little family. We love Salt Lake but we are looking forward to what fun new things we will discover in the Lone Star state!

The Spencer Girls

Every so often Life throws you a break. One of the greatest blessings The pollywogs have ever had was the Spencer girls. I met this fun family 10 years ago when I started teaching Rachel and Lara how to swim. I have also had my hand in coaching these unbelievably talented girls on to state championships and have watched them turn out into wonderful young ladies. Over time Lynda and I became close friends and when it came time for me to go back to work after K-Man was born I had no babysitter lined up for my sweet little 3 month old. I was chatting with Lynda on the phone about my predicament when she said "Are you crazy, he is going to come to my house!" I could not have been more grateful. She opened up her home to K-Man and he received all the love and adoration he could ever possibly want. When I told Lynda we were leaving for Texas we both cried. I knew that we had received the BEST care imaginable between Lynda and my Mothers help. To thank Lynda we went to the Zoo to enjoy our last Friday in Utah. We Love You Lynda, we will never be able to thank you enough for everything!
