***********************

not really sure about life. colby has been gone 22 days, i'm working in soda, going to inkom on the weekends for church (to still be with my YW) chunk is acting up, ie running away for a while and going potty in the house, don't know when i'm going to nebraska, don't know if i should keep going to inkom on the weekends(even if I am happy when I'm there) not working very many hours, can't sleep very well, finished my personal progress so now i have more time to do nothing..............

MOVING

YES it's true, if you think you've heard a rumor that we are moving, well we are. Colby leaves January 2nd, and I will follow after a little while depending on how the job is and how fast he can find a good place to live. I will be moving too, just to Soda Springs with the in-laws for awhile. Chunk and I will be living it up (ha ha). I guess ya all might want to know where we are going.... North Platte, Nebraska. Yes, far away from Idaho, but it's actually only one state away. A 12 hour drive, according to mapquest only about 10 on Colby's new Tom-Tom GPS, we didn't want him to get lost. The job is with Union Pacific Railroad, he will be running equipment and installing communication lines in the North Platte Bailey Yard. We are lucky because it's only five days a week and during daylight hours, unless there is an emergency. Oh and full benefits, yeah he will have to pay union dues but still a much better job.

We love the ward, the town, the people, the atmosphere, the non-big city, our callings, being close to family.... ect. I love my calling of being in the Young Womens presidency, I'm the secretary. I have grown so close to the girls, I feel like I am just getting to know some of them and then BAM, I guess that's how it works though. When Colby got the call that he might possibly get the job out there I cried thinking about leaving the girls... most of you know I'm not a crier. I don't know what it is about the youth of the church, but they are amazing. Going from work, with troubled youth during the week then with these amazing kids during church or mutual is just an entire shift, a good one though. I hope the girls know that I love them and will miss them. That's another reason I am staying behind until we find a place, I am going to keep going to my Inkom ward.

us....

we are just working and playing with Chunk.....

New Chunk Photos ( as per Lori)

MOST OF THEM ARE RECENT THE ONE WHERE HE'S WITH ANOTHER PUPPY WAS BEFORE WE BROUGHT HIM HOME.

Long time.....

It's been a long time, but we haven't done much but work, so I guess that's why no blogging for a while. Last month we went to SLC for the Pughs homecoming talk, we went down on Saturday, went to a session, checked into our hotel, went to P.F. Changs ( not a fan) went to IKEA (which Colby decided is one of his favorite stores now) and then went and had a BBQ with the Littles (one of Colby's companions). Went back to hotel watched "Richie Rich" and went to bed. What a vacation.

On August first we went to a wedding in Twin Falls and cooked, it was super hot. I took Colby to the waterfall that you can go behind (my favorite stop in Twin).

We went to Shoshone Falls for a little bit.

peck adventures of the weekend....

Being a holiday weekend you'd think we would have a little R&R.... ha ha that's funny. We helped with the Artic Circle float in Soda Springs, so that took most of Friday and Saturday. On my way home, Saturday night, I stopped to check the mail. Chunk was with me, sleeping in the front seat, so I ran in checked the box and walked back out to find my car was locked and running. Chunk had stepped on the lock button after I had got out, he has a tendency to wait for me in my seat after I leave. So I called Colby and we had to have someone come un-lock it for us. Earlier in the day we had heard that Inkom was flooding (where we are currently living) so there was mud all over the place. Not in our apartment though.

We went to church the next morning and only had sacrament meeting and then were to report back to the church ready to work. I was sustained to my new calling, but not set apart that day as well.... I'm the new YW secretary.

Sunday we hauled a lot of water and mud out of homes of those around us. We loaded a lot of debris from the banks of the creek also. There were tons of people out to help, it was amazing to see so many people come together for one cause. The youth amazed me the most, they jumped in and did whatever they could and more. Bucket lines were formed in many places. Props to everyone!

the last little while....

We have just been working and trying to keep up with life. Chunk has been a handful, he ate some rat posion the first day we had him, so he had and ER visit to the Vet. Then a few weeks later he got his shots.... about 5 hours later he started to swell up. Yep, back to the Vet for some steriods, he was allergic to the shots. Then last night we came home and he had dug up some more posion from who knows where. This time we just gave him peroxide and he threw up, we think he just chewed it up because there was no green in his up-chuck.

Besides that we really aren't up to much.... work work work
