May 2011-update

I've been teaching Sunday School once a month for over a year now. I just got certified as a medical coder and am looking for a job doing that. This year my goal is to be able to run 3 miles and hopefully do a 5 k race in the fall. But it is taking much longer than I thought it would to build up stamina. I've only made it 1 mile twice so far.

2009 My life is just starting, and I am so excited about *Email Blocked* year I went on the yearly Buffalo Roundup on Antelope Island in the Great Salt Lake. It was terrific! There were around 150 riders, I believe, and about 600 buffalo. I loved watching the buffalo up close in their natural environment and herd.

I got myself a little inflatable kayak, and I was able to take it out by myself a few times this summer. I also got an old fashioned (comfortable) bike that I love to ride several times a week. (My city subsitute for a horse) I play piano in Relief Society for my singles old fogey's ward, and teach gospel essentials every third week. I have 7 children, all grown, and the 7th and 8th grands are on the way. The 2nd to the youngest is on her mission in Italy right now. This past August I flew to PA to visit two of my kids, and we went to the Philly Zoo and we were able to ride the camel. (I have always wanted to do that too!!) We were also able to go for a 2 hour trail ride up in the PA 'mountains'. I have a BFA from Augusta State University, and trying to establish myself as an artist. I took a boat by myself to Okeefenokee swamp just to look at the gators. I attend church and temple regularly.

Kids, Grands, and Family are of course extremley important to me. I live in the city, but only out of neccesity. I grew up on a farm and I always long to be out in the country.
