My Grandma left in December to serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I am so proud of her! She is loving the experience, and has learned to operate a computer so well. She is so excited she can now read the newspaper online. I think she has learned more in her 70’s than any other period of her life!
In March we splurged and went on a 3 day cruise to Ensenada, Mexico! We had such a fun time! We were joined by Taylon’s brother Chet, and his girlfriend Jessica, my sister Stevie, and our friend Parker. When we were at Port in Ensenada we went horseback riding on the beach. The horses were a little homely, but we had fun. After the horse ride we headed back to downtown, and they were celebrating Mardi Gras. Who knew they had such a big celebration for Mardi Gras in Mexico?? We were able to watch the parade while we waited to go back to our ship… needless to say it got a little rowdy during the parade! It was an experience I wouldn’t hesitate doing again, and again!
Several weeks ago we went down to Zions National Park with a bunch of Taylon’s family and hiked “Angel’s Landing.” I’m not exactly sure how long the hike was, all I know is it was straight uphill, and I am SO out of shape! Once we finally got to the top, and felt as though we had conquered the world it wasn’t too bad! The weather was perfect for our hike up, and got a little windy on the way back down. It was a great little break from winter in Sanpete, to enjoy springtime in Southern Utah… although we woke up the next morning in Cedar City to about 3 inches of snow!
For the past 2 years I have been the director of the Miss Fairview Scholarship Pageant. The pageant was on April 9. It was nice to get out of the way, because of all of our upcoming stressors. I had a great time directing it, and had so much fun with the girls. I was really happy with the outcome our judges decided on, I just wish all of the girls could be in the royalty. They are all such amazing girls!
Recently, we have created a new endeavor for ourselves. We have opened a women’s clothing boutique in Mt. Pleasant. We named it Poise and Ivy, right now we carry just women’s clothes. In the future we will be carrying plus sized clothes, and men’s apparel…we are also planning on getting tanning beds! We have been opened for about a week, so we are still getting acquainted with being business owners…. It has been such a great experience.
Taylon is still working as a surveyor at Skyline Mine. I finished working at Sindi’s Salon at the end of April, and have started doing hair, in my off time from the store, at our house. Everything is going great for us, we are as happy as ever. Hopefully life will just get better from here!
