Where have The Kempton's been?

Well it has been WAAAAY to long since my last post, and for that I am somewhat apologizing. Shane and I have been a little crazy with life over the past 7 months.

Here is a little of what kept us busy these last few months.

April- Shane and I celebrated our sixth anniversary this year. We didn't go on a trip this year, and spent our anniversary doing a session at the Salt Lake Temple and having dinner at one of our favorites places in Salt Lake. Just spending the time with Shane made the day perfect.

May-Was cold and rainy and found our days inside, wanting to get outside and work in our yard, it was also that month that I found out that I had a Staph Infection that needed to get under control. Things are now under control, and I am taking every measure for it to not surface again. I really don't know where I got it from, but they are common.

June- Working outside getting our yard under control. Shane was also fishing whenever he could, and spent the end of June at Stake Priesthood camp. I was busy planning Stake girls camp coming up in July. Guess I never knew how busy an assistant camp director would be. I also was asked to do two callings in our ward, One was on the scout committee, and the other was Activity days. Shane thought that this was a little crazy for me to be doing basically four callings, but I guess that Heavenly Father had other things on his mind when he called me to these callings.

July- Happy 4th of July!!!!! My brother's family came to visit while he is stationed overseas for a year with his job with the Air force. We had a great time getting into a water fight with the kids, and doing fireworks with the kids. trying to spend time at the pool.
I got a promotion at work which has left me crazy busy at work, but I am grateful that to be working full time again, even if that means pulling a few extra hours a week.
I spent a week at girls camp. It was a TON of fun, and well worth all of the planning and lack of sleep that I got while attending camp meetings and working my CRAZY schedule.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!!

August- Shane spent August fishing, hunting and continuing to battle the yard work. I can't nail what kept me busy in August besides work, but whatever it was I am almost positive that it was worth it. I did however watch a lot of Yankees Baseball!!!!!

September- I spent the start of Labor day weekend with my mom and sister at Swiss Days. It is our annual girl outing. I love it!!!! And I look forward to going every year. Shane and I went camping for a few days and he continued to hunt and fish. I also got released from my Primary calling. I had a great class and will miss all of them dearly. They were a handful, but I am grateful to be able to attend Relief Society again. It has been 5 plus years of not going, and really looking forward to some adult interaction (for as long as it lasts).
We also spent the month watching baseball. WOW!!!!! That is all I have to say.

October- General Conference!!!! Baseball Playoffs started!!!!! Boo to the Yankees for losing in the first round!!!! Congrats to St. Lois Cardinals for winning the World Series!!!!! I was cheering for you, as the Texas Rangers aren't a favorite of mine. Family Pictures!!!!! My family got together for some family pictures with my brother being home for a quick leave. This was practically a first for my family, as the last family picture we had taken. Nathan and I weren't married, and Ryan (my oldest nephew who will be 15 in January) was about a year old.

That brings us up to date for now anyways. I am hoping to making blogging more of a priority. I know sometimes that there are things that must be let go of, but I know that it is important. It is a way to express things that need to be expressed, and I also think of it as something like a journal, just not as private as a journal would be. It is a place for friends and family to keep tabs on us, and also a way for us to track things in our life that need tracking. For right now I will continue to keep up blogging.

As for many of you wanting news on a baby. I have no news to report. Please continue to pray and fast for us.
