We found this beautiful bike trail near our home. We call it the "princess" walk. It's really the old tobacco trail near Old White Oaks Church Road. Quite the names for the roads around here. Anyway, we got our bikes fixed up and I take the kids for rides up and down this trail. Horses are allowed on the trail too , so it's really fun for the kids. I shove them in my two seater bike trailer and go for it. My kids are really starting to put on the weight so even though I'm getting more in shape, they keep gaining weight so it's still just as hard to pull them. I think people on the trail can see how tough it is because they always make comments like,"Wow, quite the load your carrying." I get that everywhere I go. People around here don't have very many kids. All the baptist preachers tell me how blessed I am. I just tell them, "I know". It's kinda fun being amongst so many different religions. We keep having these Jehovah Witnesses come by our house on Saturday. We gave them a BOM and they stayed away for a while, but Ryan said they came by last Saturday. I wasn't home because I was out with the sister missionaries. They are so cute. Every time someone would open the door and actually talk to us, it was a miracle to them. It's just so fun being able to go out with them. They wished they would have been around when the Jehovah Witnesses came to our house. I guess the guy brought the big guns with him. We just can't get passed the Garden of Eden with them so we just go in circles. It's fun to talk religion though and hear what other people believe. I just feel bad when I realize that they don't know what I know and I'm so thankful to have the knowledge of the true gospel of Jesus Christ in my life. It brings such peace and comfort. Anyway, enough of that, I want to read my newly purchased copy of "Twilight". Ryan and I watched the show two weeks ago just because we'd heard so much hype about it. I liked it, so now I'll read it. Ryan liked it because it was in Washington. He wants to read the book with me but he is busy learning about routers and switches. Boring!

Wonderful people

Steve and Martha Phelon came to visit me on their way to see their daughter for Thanksgiving. They went clear out of their way to see me twice. They took us out to eat and to the Marbles kid's museum. (thank you Stephanie for allowing me some of your time with them). Anyway, Martha was and is a great example for me in my life. She also taught me how to clean. My husband should be very thankful for that. Steve and Martha are some of the best people I've ever known. I don't know where I would be if they weren't the kind of charitable people that they are. They've never hesitated to help a person in need. They are some of many people in my life that were instruments in the Lord's hands to help teach me and love me when I needed it most. Thank you Phelons! By the way you were so silly to leave me gas money! I thought I was finally allowed to give back a little. Thank you and thank you for the fun weekend.

I couldn't mention people who were instruments in the Lord's hands without mentioning Gary. He is another one of the very best people out there. He has helped me and my family and countless others so many times. He's been a great example to me of what a charitable person is like. He helped me gain some self -esteem when it was needed. Gary and his wife Dana and their family are awesome. Thank you for everything.

Secure

Well, I went private! I feel so secure now. I can say anything I want to because only people I invited are viewing my blog. That reminds me of Alice. She always gets a grin on her face when she goes into the bathroom and says, "Mom, we are in the potty room, so I can say "poop" and "toot"." She's so funny. No but it is a good thing. I did have some weird person leave their info. There was nothing on their blog. Their email was also weird, so I rejected them. I just didn't want some weirdo copying and pasting my kid's pictures on the web somewhere but anyway, thanks for all the response. Now I know that I really do have friends! Man, I'm lucky!

Time to go Private!

Please leave me your info so that I can invite you. Anyone that views this blog, even if I don't know you read it, please leave your info. All these people are freaking out lately about going private. Leave your info on a comment or email me at maryanne_wedig@yahoo.com. Invite me to your blogs as well. If your someone from our past, please don't hesitate to leave your info.
thanks

A Buncha funny things

1- Some of the guys at Ryan's work thought that Ryan was a polygamist because they knew he was mormon. hahaa, it's funny what people think they know about us. Ryan let them know that we are not polygamists.
2- I had a dream last night that I went to the cannery with Amy Broadhead and she was giving me a list of everything I need to put in my 72-hour kits. It's because I have been worrying alot lately about getting my food storage and I just read Amy's blog the other day and it was about how she was putting her 72-hour kits together and doing some canning. It would be great to go to the cannery with her but I think we live too far away. Maybe when we visit St George next time
3- Ryan and I have been able to actually go on dates lately because we found a great babysitter across the street. It made us think though, what if something happened to us, we don't have a will. So we tried to think of who we would have take the kids and we just can't come up with someone because they aren't us. It's crazy. We will just pray that nothing happens.
4- Big question, Where should we move? We are supposed to have our top 5 choices soon and we have no idea. We like this little adventure that we are on and think it would be cool to keep going, but we miss the mountains. We aren't aching for the mountains yet though so we could be fine without them for two more years. If you could pick any state in the US to try out for two years and then move back to where your family is and everything, where would you pick? You can't say Hawaii because everyone would live there of course.
