Life goes on...

It has been a tough couple of weeks as we struggle to find a new normal without Mom. There are days that I miss her so much. I have been trying to help Dad as much as possible. But as they say...life goes on and it has gone on here at the Phillips home though. Justin attended the Sweetheart Dance with Taylor Corbett. He had a great time. Tyler will be turning 21 years old on Friday and I can't help but ask,"where did the time go?" As I visited with Grandma Syme last night she said it only seems like yesterday that they were back in Michigan blessing him. Michael is anxious to get the boat out and has talked with someone about pin-striping it this spring. We are just waiting for warmer weather and hopefully that will come soon. It has been a very cold winter.

Tough Week...

It has been a tough week for our family. Our mom and grandma passed away on the 3rd of February. It was so unexpected. It has a huge hole in our lives and we are all just trying to get back to some sense of normal this week. I am feeling very lost this week without her. We have had amazing family support and support from some amazing friends. I can't tell you how much your love and support means to me.

The Big Reveal

It was a beautiful sunny and not too cold weekend so we decided to pull the boat out of the garage. The top strip has been newly painted black and new pin-striping has been added. We are waiting for it to get a little warmer and then I found a guy who is a graphic artist and he is going to come and pin-stripe the bottom of the boat and put the lettering on the back. Michael and the boys are very excited for the summer. We have started to plan our big week long trip to Flaming Gorge in July.

Happy New Year! Is it spring yet?

There is still snow on the mountains and it is cold but we are hoping and counting the days until spring. As far as I am concerned as soon as Christmas is over it can be spring. We can't wait to take the boat out. The boys and Michael have worked hard on it this fall and winter. Their plan is to take it out as soon as the ice melts on any lake in the area. I think I will wait until it is a little warmer....maybe June.
