Thank you for all the Love and Support

For all those who don't know I had to have surgery on the 3rd of Dec. I had an ectopic pregnancy and had to have it removed along with one of my falopian tubes. Things have been hard the last week and a half, but Matt and I are working through it. Thank you for all the phone calls, the flowers, and the letters.
Hopefully in a couple of months we will have some more news to tell, and this time it will be good news, not bad news like this time. We are so looking forward to having a family, and can't wait for it to start, but don't worry I'm giving myself time to heal.
Life is to good to mess it up with not giving myself this chance to heal. I went back to work tuesday, Dec. 11, and in some ways I wish I had waited a little longer, but today (dec. 13) I came home feeling pretty good. I was still tired, but not to bad.
Thanks again for all everyone has done for Matt and I during this period in our life. What would I do without everyone.

Good bye Popeye

Today I gave Popeye back to his original owners. It was a hard thing to do, but I know he will be happier there with them.

Thanksgiving day

Wow, what to say about thanksgiving day. So much happened in such a short amount of time. Brandon and Heather got here on Monday, and that night we went to the Mayan with them and Alannna for dinner. Then Mom, Dad, and Alanna got to our house on Wednesday afternoon. Wed. night mom and I made the pies for the next day.
On Thursday we got up and did some of the cooking and then Mom, Alanna, Heather, and I went to K-mart and then went driving around looking for a newspaper so we could get the ads for the next day. We spent a good twenty minutes looking for a newstand that still had newspapers. When we had just about given up we found one. We were going to ask Matt's dad if we could steal their ads, but didn't need to.
Matt, Brandon, and my dad went and played in the turkey bowl for our ward. Actually my dad just went and watched. The last time he played in a turkey bowl he ended up hurting himself pretty bad, so my mom said he would just watch, and he agreed with her. Anyway, maybe Matt should have done the same thing, because he came home with hurting ribs, and they still hurt him today. He went to tackle one of the boys, and as the boy went down, he swung his head right into Matt's ribs. Matt said he heard something crack, and thought the boy had gotten hurt, but no it was him.
I am so thankfull for a wonderful husband who treats me with respect and love.
I am thankfull for a family that is always there when we need them and that gives us support and strenght.
I am also thankfull for good jobs that Matt and I both have.
I am thankfull for great friends.
Most of all I am Thankfull for the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Alaska Trip

In July of 2006 Matt and I went to Alaska for 10 days. We went to Homer, Alaska first and got to go Halibut fishing. We also got to go to Fairbanks, Alaska, where I was born. While in Fairbanks we were able to go to North Pole Alaska, and see the Santa Claus House. My parents actually lived in North Pole Alaska when I was born. We also did quite a lot of camping while we were there. We had an excellent time while there.

Cloward family

We are beginning to start a blog. Matt lost his job two weeks ago, but has started to work at Nestle' again. We are doing well, and Matt is enjoying having a job again. It is nice to have him working at Nestle' with me again. We will be working the same hours and having the same days off, so we should be able to do a lot of fun things together.
We got a new member of the family on Tuesday night. I've been wanting a dog for quite a while, and so I went to the animal shelter and adopted a small dog. It is a Pikegnese. He has eyes that bug out of his head, and his face looks like he has been chasing to many parked cars, but he is cute. We named him Popeye.
Everyone in my family, but my sister and her family, from CA. is here for Thanksgiving. We sure miss them, but understand why they can't be here. We are planning to go shopping tomorrow morning bright and early.
This past summer we went to Georgia to pick up a honda civic that Matt won on Ebay for me. On the way home we drove through Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Illinois, Colorado, and a few other states. We stopped in Chattanooga, and Nashville Tennessee. It was a great trip.
