Back to school

I can't believe that summer is over. It has gone so fast. We just put the Fair to bed for another year. It's always a lot of work, but for some reason it holds some excitement.

August has been very eventful for us. Tori turned 18. Holy Moly!!! Now she's an adult. She started classes last week at BSU. I think they went pretty well. She had some quizzes this week already. Got A's on them so that helps with getting to relax a little. She was pretty anxious about starting. We gave her a shopping spree for her birthday, so we went to the mall today. Got her some cute outfits.

Alex leaves tomorrow for his retreat to kick off his new school. They go to McCall for three days, then he gets a 5 day weekend before classes starts on the 8th. I think he is pretty excited. He just spend the last two weeks working every day for Granny and Pappa. I think we are going to use the money to get him a laptop. I think he did a great job for them.

Love you all ~~Mitzi

...this is the message I got on Monday as I jumped in. Monday was my birthday, another milestone day.  One that I have been dreading for weeks.  Not sure why this one is so hard to swallow.   For weeks I have been feeling like the crocodile from Peter Pan...Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock.  The days just tick away. Birthday's are interesting, there is a build up as the day gets closer adding to the excitement (or dread).  Then the alarm goes off on the "BIG" day and you wake up just like any other day.  The same person, nothing feels different.  If it wasn't for the wrinkles you see in the mirror you wouldn't know you were any older. It isn't until you mentally do the math in your head and realize that you're starting a new decade of your life.  60 is the new 30, right!?! We need to not dwell on the years that have past, we should look forward to the years ahead of us, all the new adventures to be had, people to meet, life left to experience. So let's not

New addition

In March we got a new addition to our family.  This little baby is what makes memories and we are so looking forward to using it to make them. Tori and Chad went in with us to make this purchase.  After visiting every RV dealership in Boise, we settled on this Jayco Jay Feather from Bish RV.  We started looking last Sept and it took us so long to decide that the 2016 models were all sold out.  We were able to order 2017 at the 2016 price. Lucky us .  It took until March to get it to Boise, but that worked out great for us.  We didn't have to store it this winter. Last weekend we camped in our driveway to test out all the features to make sure we knew how to do things and that everything worked before we took it out to the wilds. Tori and Chad took it out this weekend to Mann's Creek.  From what I heard things went well, the only comment was that the main big bed was uncomfortable - "like a rock".  I'm sure that it was still better than sleeping on t
