Another UtahTrip

Well.... It's been a really long time since I have updated our blog. I am feeling quite homesick (for both homes) as I write this so hopefully I wont be too sappy. Earl and I were able to go to Utah last month to attend the events for Cianna's adoption finalization and to be there for Earl's mom as she had surgery. We both really love our families and really miss them everyday. We have both been so blessed in life to have AMAZING families. Some people can't say that they have one good family to belong to and we can say that we have two AMAZING families.

This time we drove to Utah so that we would have transportation while there and we could come and go as we needed to. It was a good break from the hum drum of Sacramento and our jobs. Although I was very optimistic when started my job by this time it had proven to be less then what I wanted for my career. We have some great nephews and one awesome niece that we really love. Here are some cute pictures of Cianna and Earl:

We are so blessed to have Cianna as part of our family. I love all my nephews too. It's amazing what a loving spirit children bring to a family.

We were also able to spend time with Earl's mom and Brother Aaron. We drove all over rock hounding and enjoying each other's company.

It was a lot of fun to be active and explore the great outdoors of Utah. We then drove to Park City. Before we moved to Sacramento, Earl, Linda and I spent time in Park City and rode a ski lift from the city up to a silver mine and then back down. We thought that Aaron would appreciate seeing the silver mine and looking for rocks so we decided to do it again.

Then it was time for Linda to have surgery. I was glad that we were able to be there. One reason that I fell in love with Earl is that he loves his mom so much. He is such a loving and caring person. We were glad that Linda could have this great opportunity to becoming more healthy. She has been an inspiration to us and hopefully we will be able to also getting healthy soon. Here are some hospital pictures:

Linda is now doing well and we have some great memories with both families. We are so blessed.
