It's official!

We're staying in Utah until the end of August! We were originally going to stay until the end of July, and then head to AZ for a few weeks to see the family, but the company that Aaron's interning with offered him a 60 day paid temporary position. We're very excited!


I've definately been a slacker at blogging, but I've been having so much fun! I spent 10 days in Henrieville without Aaron, it was kind of lonely. I worked at the hotel and played a lot with my nephews! Here are some random pics...

Isabella LOVES to play in the mud! This was one of the few times we caught her fully clothed!

Ian lost his first tooth while we were there!

Isaac, just goofing around.

Aaron with the newest addition to Heathers family- Hanna Marie.

Ethan, playing in the mud. Are we seeing a theme here?! I took 6 of the boys and 1 niece to the wash after the floods, there was so much mud! You couldn't even tell that the boys had clothes on, they were swimming around in it! I tried to get a pic, but you know how that goes. I made all the boys stay outside and strip, and then I hosed them off before they went inside to shower.



Last weekend we went to Price with some of our friends, to visit another set of friends there. As soon as we got there, 2 of the kids decided that they really liked Aaron, so they claimed him for themselves!

We did some hiking, and a lot of playing! Aaron has Thursday and Friday off work, so we'll head to Henrieville on Wednesday for the weekend. Hope everyone has a great holiday!
p.s.- If you click on the link to the left labeled "Weech Family Photos", it has a bunch of other pics from our trip so far.

Extra...Extra...Read All About It!

Actually, there is not much to read about since Savannah is working down at her parent's store and I working hard at the software company. On Monday, I did finish the first 450 page manual and received two more (only about 330 pages) to review. I am working with new software developments on a daily basis along with reviewing the manuals. I can't keep straight what exactly I should do at any given time because I have so many different projects that need to be done but also need to be done at the same time. I have to test the new software with the steps that they give me and make sure that the tests match what the book says which has a totally different setup. It is a time management experience to say the least.

I did spend Saturday and Sunday with the Roberts and the Olivers who are up in Utah for a couple of weeks on vacation. We had lots of fun on Sunday getting to see everyone. Savannah said I couldn't go unless I brought something since the Roberts were making Sunday dinner. So I went and bought 3 lbs of strawberries and angel food cake. I think that 3 lbs was a bit too much because I am still eating strawberries!

I will go down this Saturday and Sunday to spend the weekend with Savannah and bring her home on Sunday night. Every night we talk on the phone for half an hour and sometimes during the day as well. Boy you would think that we hadn't talked to each other for years. How did we make it thru the 4 month long distance engagement???? I guess we didn't know what we were missing!

Near death experience.....

Anyone who knows me knows that I don't like spiders. In fact, I'm pretty afraid of them. It's irrational, I know, but that's the way it is. Anyways, I'm down here in Henrieville, staying at my parents and working at the hotel. Yesterday I looked up and saw a spider in the hallway and I told my mom that we need to kill it. By we, I mean her...but she said no. I tried to convince her, but to no avail. I was going to be late for work, so I left, and got back home around 10:30. My parents had gone to vegas, so I had the place to myself. Aaron called to say goodnight, and I was walking into my room and looked down. The stupid spider from earlier was sitting in front of my room, staring at me with all its hundreds of eyes. Grrr. It must be the mind reading kind, because when I was trying to talk my mom into killing it, I was thinking "it's probably going to come into my room". Great. Since I was home alone, I had to pluck up enough courage to kill it. I grabbed my flip flop and hit it, but since it's a mind reading spider it dodged it, ran under the door crack into my room. Double great. I opened the door, but couldn't find it anywhere. Crap. I had pictures of it waiting until I fall asleep and crawling up the bed to bite me, so I promptly shut the door and slept in my parents bed!

What an Interesting Experience at the Temple!

Savannah and I went to the Draper Temple last night to do sealings. There were 3 other couples and a single lady as well. Everything was going great, except one lady had to stop because she was feeling faint. No problem, another lady took over. Then everyone traded places and an older couple were doing the sealings. After a bit of time, the older lady said she was getting dizzy and needed to sit. Not a problem says the sealer. So Savannah and I take a turn. We are doing great and have now been kneeling for 15 or so minutes. I remember looking at Savannah and using my eyes asking if she was okay. She said she was getting warm. The sealer was almost finished so I thought after this, we can sit down.....the next thing I remember is all these people around me and someone saying that the medical personnel are on the way. After a few minutes of laying on the ground, I see Savannah and she is telling me that I had blacked out. The temple engineer arrives and I get taken to the basement in a wheelchair to get checked out. The engineer says it is the special tour of the temple. After half an hour, I get changed and am wheeled out front to meet Savannah. My head hurts, my neck hurts, and I feel like I am going to throw up. The engineer gave me a great big trash bag for the last symptom. As I am sitting in the front lobby, the Temple President comes out to talk to me. He asks how my night has been. I said quite interesting. He asks me when I got endowed, I told him in 2002. He asks if I served a mission, I told him Fort Worth Texas. Next he asks how long I have been in the wheelchair. I can't properly think and say tonight. He looks puzzled and says tonight?? I said yes, I passed out in the temple. At this time, his eyes get big and says WHAT?? The kind engineer explains what happened and the poor Temple President says I hope that everything is alright. Then Savannah had the car outside and we drove to the ER. After some wonderful meds, X-rays, CAT scan, and more meds, I am permitted to go home. It was quite the experience!
