"Marshmallows for roasting"

My family has a lot of wood from our apple tree and what better way to get ready of it? Make a fire of course!!!

We bundled up and headed outside!
Hot dogs seemed like an acceptable think to roast...along with the hot dog buns too!
And you can't for get the marshmallows!!!

Be careful what you wish for...

You just might get it.
This morning I was thinking how I wish I didn't have my cats. (I would like to move out and they are coming with me. Which limits my options.) When I came up from my room I couldn't find the cats. I soon discovered they had jumped out of Michael's window...it's second story. SCARY. I freak out and start looking for them and praying that I would find them. Then I reminded myself of what I thought earlier. I couldn't help but wonder if this was Heavenly Fathers way of punishing me... I all I could think is "I take it back, I still want them!" Thankfully my mom thought to look under the shed and there they were, hiding from the wind. Lucas came right in the house. Chewie...well we had a bit of a stand off but eventually he came in. After the fact I find out along with my prayers my mom and said a pray that we would find them before 11:00. Which we did, prayers are answered!!

For your viewing pleasure- Chewie enjoying grass under the shed.

A Hamblin Halloween...

...Better late then never.

Seeing as dad was in the hospital on Halloween our usual celebration was postponed, but we still made sure it happened.

The Book is blue, The Church is true!

I finished this book!!!


Thanks to modern technology I was able to listen to and follow along.
(Most of it was down while riding trax to and from work.)
I have only completed the Book of Mormon once before and that was with my family.
I decided to want to it on my own this time, then when the branch was formed in September we were challenged to read it by stake conference. Lucky from me I had a head start so I was able to finish in time. I'm glad they gave us the challenge,to give me the little push I need to finish up!

F.E.A.R.

If you know me you know I don't have my drivers license and if you really know me you know it's cause it TERRIFIES me!

I've got my learners permit! Woo hoo Every time I'm driving I say “I don't like this” and I make lots of sound effects. Overall I think I've gotten better and am over coming this fear.

However the worst thing is my lack of transportation.... My parents are great and get me where I need to go and a lot of the time where I want to go. There are those time where friends step up and give me ride which is MUCH appreciated.

The thing I hate the most is the first time telling people I don't have mt drivers license. And the the questions begin. I feel judged and analyzed...it's very possible it's all in my head, but it is how I feel.
I especially hate telling guys this. I feel like it makes me less desirable (not that I'm the desirable to begin with). To me I seem like a freak or that there is something wrong with me... 22 and I don't drive? There most be something wrong, right?

IF I could change things I may have just gotten my drives license when I was 16. However there are experiences that would not have happened if I did have it. :)

In the end what is done is done.

Dear Sister Pidge

I miss you! I miss talking on the phone for hours. I miss playing in the rain. I miss feeding the ducks. I miss being stupid together. I miss your laugh. I miss you just being there for me. I miss you telling me “Boys are stupid!” I miss watching the brides on temple square. I miss us planning the day we will live together. I miss taking walks. I miss watching movies with you. I miss dinners at Johnny's. I miss having a single friend. I miss you pushing me to be better. I miss going on adventures with you. I miss playing with your sisters.

I need you to be home soon. I need a friend to talk to. I need someone to tell me it's going to be OK. I need someone to tell me I'm an idiot. I need you to motivate me. I need someone to go shopping with. I need someone to tell all my worries to. I need you to hear all my plans. I need to laugh with you till we are crying. I need us to take more picture together. I need the next 6 months to be over. I need my life to be full of excitement again. I need to do something just because I can. I need you to come home.

Love Vanessa
