In honor of our REID heritage - Let's celebrate St. Patrick Day!!

Chelsea passed her nursing test this week after much stress. Read about it on her blog - http://zacandchelseabarrus.blogspot.com/ We are very proud of her. Melanie also announced some big news this week - of course we are excited about Grandbaby #4 and hoping for a girl, but boys aren't so bad either. April found a job working at http://www.preparedpantry.com/ in Rigby Idaho, and James is also working a couple of jobs while they figure out their plans for the future (continuing education is high on their list). Trevor is headed to State Soccer today with the Varsity team - he probably won't get to play, but it will be good experience for next year. And just in case you didn't hear, Ken's company lost their contract at the mine here, which has shut down operation. He will be there until the end of March and then it looks like we are going to have to find a new job as his company doesn't have much work either. We hope the lord will help us to find something to transition to quickly and if possible something stable in the area. We are open to all possibilities. For now we are trusting the Lord and doing our part to stay positive and look for jobs. We have a testimony that keeps us going and enduring to the end. We are blessed to have so many blessings in our life, the gospel and family being top on our list.

Pay It Forward

This is how it works: Pay It Forward Exchange is based on the concept of the movie "Pay it forward". I will send a hand made gift to the first three people who leave a comment to this post on my blog requesting to join the PIF exchange. All the gifts will be made and posted out 'sometime within the next year'. How exciting to not know when your surprise package will arrive! What you need to do in return, is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog. This Exchange is only open to those with active websites or blogs. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PROMISE TO POST THIS SAME 'PAY IT FORWARD' MESSAGE ONTO YOUR BLOG, WHICH MUST BE ACTIVE IN ORDER TO PLAY. YOU WILL PAY IT FORWARD TO THREE PEOPLE WHO COMMENT ON YOUR BLOG. I'd love for you to join me! Will you? Other comments are welcome, but only the first three will be my Pay It Forward recipients. Come and join me who doesn't love a gift or giving gifts???
