Girls Getaway

A few months ago my father in law Ken had a stroke. It caught us by surprise because the guy is so healthy but it put us all on high alert for our own health. Last week my sister in law went up to SLC to have a test to see if she had a hole in her heart, which was the cause of Ken's stroke. It was a quick ten minute test, but we decided to make a little getaway out of it. My mother in law Katie and my sisters in law Bradi and Lainee and I all loaded in the car, and it was nothing but laughter the rest of the trip.
I am so grateful that I was lucky enough to marry into such an incredible family. We have such a great support system and we are all such great friends. I love you girls and can't wait for the next getaway!

C-O-R-N

O-N-E box of corn, shuck, blanch, cold bath, cut, bag, freeze.
This is the second year we have put up corn for the winter and boy was it work. We spend a few hours hard at work, but after all was said and done it was worth it. Garrett shucked all the corn, I blanched it all and then we cut it off the cob together. We got 14 bags of corn and our freezer is officially ready for winter! It's so nice to be able to have yummy corn from the fruit stand all through the winter.
