Greetings all! What a crazy few weeks it's been! Went to Marathon Key for the week before Memorial Day because Stan got a free week in his TOY swag bag (Teacher of the Year, in case you forgot) and had an amazing time. Bethany and Jake were able to come for a few days and it was just the best time! We snorkeled (saw a shark that swam past me 5 feet away...awesome) and dove (including the first night dive for Cody and Josie) and went to the turtle hospital (so sad!) and the dolphin research center (SO COOL!) and Stan and Josie even went out on the kayaks. Then we got back and the next day Josie played in the Disney tournament and her team won their division! It was so neat! You can go to Youtube and search "FC America vs Weston FC 97/98 Swosh: 2011 Disney Memorial Day Soccer Shootout" and see the little commercial they did about the game. The Brit is her coach (Jon) and if you pay attention, you'll see Josie a few times... her number is 00.
Now I just need to find the time to get control of the household again...won't be anytime soon, I'm afraid! Anyway, love you all! July 25th will be here before we know it. Stan and Cody go to the debate camp in St. George the week before, Jo and I fly in the 25th, and the boys will meet us a week later. Yes, dinner for sure, for sure! Talk to you soon!

Hello
Hello Lana,
I am so glad things are warming up down there. I was concerned about my lovely citrus fruit. It is warming up here as well, it's suppose to be like 45 tomorrow! Totally giggling to myself. We had a bunch of snow last week, and weekend, but it seems to melt away so hopefully we are past the piles of snow for the year. In fact I was totally thinking that it is warm enough to plant my pea's, lettuce, radish's etc.... Right the ground seems workable. I am ready to get out there and get my hands in some dirt and see things grow. I have been getting a little concerned about food prices, gas prices and everything. It freaks me out that gas was 50 cents cheaper less then three months ago. It is making me wondering how far it will go this time and how much it will screw up my budget. Oh well that is life.
Thanks for feeling for me about my health some times it seems overwhelming and desperate but it will get better, I just totally need to relax and start thinking positively and not so negatively. I saw the Dr today and my inflammation factor is up again which is not a good sign, but we are going to increase my meds in hope that it will help more. The only bummer side effect has been the nausea. Saturday's if I don't eat or eat too much or not enough I feel pukey all day. That may lessen over time so I am crossing my fingers. The other side effects I was having have been helped a lot with an increase of the folic acid I am taking so it's all good!
I totally forgot to hug my mom for you so I will do tonight! And I think Christmas in July is a great idea! It sounds like you are coming for a visit and I am way excited to see you. Is everyone going to get to come? We will definitely have to plan dinner or games or something!
I hope things are going well for everyone else and that we will all keep in better touch. May God Bless our family!

Finally FL winter weather!
OMG, it's been unseasonably cold for unseasonably, and unreasonably, long (though I know it's small comfort...er, cold comfort?... to you there...below 20? Yikes...). However, this week we are finally back to high 70s in the day...YAY! Our summer visit is a done deal. Stan had chatted with a few people about teaching at Dixie over the summer and then heard nothing more. Can you imagine his surprise when the national debate quarterly (I actually don't know how often it's published...monthly? I don't know, I'm just winging it, and that's not the point, really) with an advertisement for the SCFI and Stan's name is listed in the faculty? Well, happy 25th anniversary to us! Can't wait to see everyone!
Becky, I am feeling very stressed about your medical stuff! And I know I don't need to add to your stress or tell you...but DANG! It's breaking my heart! You might have to move to AZ with the grandparents if the arthritis persists (that's what Stan's sister Charlotte had to do for Mikael, her oldest daughter). Love you! Keep up the updates! Give your mom a hug for me! She sent me such a wonderful card after Xmas that made me miss her like crazy, though being the lame sister I am, I haven't returned the favor (the notion of Xmas cards in July is still alive and kicking.) Tell her I've seriously been thinking of coordinating internet cameras so Josie can start piano again.
Finally thawing in Central Florida! Love ya, Lana

Hello Lana
My life has been super crazy lately and it has been awhile since I have gotten on. Yes I agree this should be the Becky and Lana exchange stories, etc... Blog. Life here in Utah has been pretty dang cold as of lately. For several days early this week it did not get above 20 degree's. Needless to say my walk into the hospital has been super cold as we have to park out in the north 40.
My life has been all over the map lately. My arthritis has been super bad lately that another stress dose of prednisone was needed to allow me to bend my arm. I started a new medication that has a list of really scary side effects but hopefully it helps. This medication is generic so it's cheap, the next medication is $2000 a month so I am hoping we don't have to go there. But the nausea, sores in my mouth and my hair falling out is starting to kind of freak me out. We just doubled the medicine that I have to take to counter act the side effects, so maybe that will help, it will be another couple of weeks before we find out if things are working or not.
I am loving my job, my boss is great, my patients and their families are great. We just had a major change so I think everything will now fall into place. I love the fact that the cute old people are in need of a person who cares and will listen to them. Their stories are fascinating and wonderful. Their courage and determination inspired me to no end. Oh the places you will go the things you will do, the people you will meet! Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!
I am still in Young Women's and loving every minute of it. The girls are wonderful and so caring. They are full of energy and love and I love them so much. It is so much fun to see them get older and wiser and move on to better things. I just accepted an assignment to work in the temple on Wed mornings. I am excited but a little nervous about things, but I am sure it will be wonderful! I was asked to talk in Sacrament meeting in a couple of weeks, which I really don't like doing, but I must need to. Anyone with advise on speaking on The proclamation to the World on the family, please send ideas my way.
Travel plans so far this year are a week in northern California salmon fishing with my family, we are renting a house right by the beach and it should be a great adventure for all of us. I then am going to spend a week driving up the Oregon coast with a friend (that is still in the planning phase so hopefully it will turn out). I plan on spending a few days in AZ visiting my grandma and grandpa wood. Girls camp is in August, family reunion over Labor day weekend. I am sure a couple other fun things are to come as well.
I really miss you all in Florida. I occasionally have dreams that I am there to visit. I am hoping that happens maybe next year, we will see. Spring time sounds nice for a warm weather get away.
How are thing with the family? Kids still doing well? Bethany, Jake? I heard Megan had her baby and he is cute (according to LaNece). Several of my friends are expecting and I am super excited for them. I feel like I am writing a book, so I will finish and be done for another little bit.
Keep in touch, I miss you all and love our family not matter how far away, I am sending my love and prayer and thoughts your way! May the Lord bless and keep you safe until we meet again!

February...
Hey, only a month has gone by. How wonderful! Just wanted to post a quick note. Colleen just forwarded me the "Memory, A Spoof" and I SO loved it. It's the story of my life, especially the walking into a room and not remembering why I'm there. It puts a whole new spin on the multi-tasking illusion I often adopt in this busy life of mine. Anyway, my Utah family has been on my mind all day long and I just felt the need to check in, tell you I love you and appreciate you all. Miss you like crazy...
Lana
p.s. Oh, and it's looking very promising for a late July, early August Utah visit...yay!
