Okay the past month has been really crazy! My family came and visited and we went all over. We went to Sea World, Florida Keys, Savannah, and Fort Benning. We had a great time! Amber (my sister) could only stay for a week. She had to get back to her job. My parents however were able to stay a couple of weeks longer.
Sea World was cold but really fun. We went to Orlando and it was a very cold couple of days. I was kind of embarrassed because I told my family to dress light. Amber ended up buying coats the whole time.
We then went on down to the Keys. It was a lot warm there. We rode on a glass bottom boat which we saw a shark and a bunch of other cool looking fish. We also saw a bunch of iguanas which were huge and had flaming colors. (I thought they were going to eat me).
From there we had to head back home (Billy had to work). We hit all the local sites here. Savannah is actual an amazing historical place. A lot of history so little time. We went to the River walk and just drove down it because it was cold..... It has amazing cobblestone roads and walk ways which were built back when the town was built.
Amber had to head back to freezing Utah. We had a great time with her. (and Amber Ireland misses her roommate). Amber did however get to go home to take snowboarding lessons. Which I'm jealous of.
My parents stayed and we got to go to Fort Benning which is the best post/base I've been to. Billy got to go achieve a big goal and go to Jump School. We got to go visit him for the weekend. We stayed in a Lodge Cabin which was a lot of fun. We saw deer at dusk and armadillos at sunrise. It was great!
My parents also had to leave and get back to their lives in Utah but we loved having them out as long as we got. We hope to see them again in June in North Carolina when the baby comes.
Today we also found the house we want in North Carolina. So hopefully it will all work out. I really hate the whole buying a house game. It's all about playing chest and gambling that what you want will work.
I love my family! I have been very blessed to have the parents I have. My brothers and sisters are without the best in the world! My kids are amazing and special. I do have the greatest husband and I don't know how I got so lucky to get him. Hope you're as lucky as I am!

Tara I had so much funw with you and your family! Thank you for letting us come visit and spoiling us roten! I miss Ireland's little recitals in the morning before everyone wakes up! How many times do you get to wake up to someone singing and playing the guitar and all about a teddy bear? Please tell her I love her and miss her TONS!! Please let Billy know how much I appreciate all he's done. And tell your boys I said Hi and that they are more than welcome to come stay for the summer! I love you thanks again for all that you do! And PS I love my coats!!
Amber we had a blast having you out here. Come visit us in June/July when the baby comes. You can be serenaded by Ireland every morning there.And if you ask Broc if he wants to stay in Utah for the summer he won't come back to NC in the fall.
Sounds like everybody had a blast. Which is great.
By the way, I added the link to your blog on a different blog I have called Mormon Bloggers Speak Out (http://mormonbloggers.com). It's just a list of Mormon blogs. People love going to that blog and just cruising through looking at everyone's blog knowing they are going to get any filthy. So if you don't want your link there, let me know and I'll take it off, okay?
Love you!
