I surprised Byron and took him back to BARBADOS!  

Byron served his mission for our church in the West Indies. He spent 11 months on the island of Barbados.  He has been wanting to go there since we were married and between work and children it has just not been possible.  I was quite a sneak and got our passports, hotel, flights, babysitters, work covered etc... for us to be gone for 1 week!  We had the best time together and are so thankful to our amazing friends and family that helped and made this trip possible!  We spent every day going around the island and exploring the different areas and beaches and our favorite plantation houses that we might go back one day to buy and restore.  What a wonderful place with great people.

Just a few pictures to say hi, and update you on our growing family.  We have been absent in the world these last two months since the opening of our new business.  We are all doing very well!   The business is going great and is a blessing.  We work hard and just spend time as a family.   We are trying to keep our heads above water with things so busy.  Byron and I are running it 99% by ourselves for now.  It is growing and we are so happy and thankful!  Hope all of you are fantastic as well!   We hope to see more of you during the summer.  xoxoxo

Wenatchee valley shuttle

Wenatchee Valley Shuttle opened April 20th, 2012!  Byron and I started this shuttle company from Wenatchee to Sea-Tac airport and back 2 times a day.  We have only been opened 2 days and already recognize the tender mercies of the Lord, and his bounteous blessings for our family.  We feel so grateful to have this opportunity and are working our faces off!  Truly, I dream about e-mails I need to send, advertising ideas, lists that need accomplished, etc. We have never been so busy with our different businesses and children, callings, etc.  But we are very happy and extremely grateful.  Check out our website at www.wenatcheevalleyshuttle.com  Hope you are all well and happy and are enjoying this beautiful spring! xoxo
