Ziegler Family: November 2014

We have had a great year!!
Julian got a new job for his birthday!! He is now working with a great group of guys setting headstones and providing the burial vault for people when they die. It is different but he has found a lot of peace being in all of the obscure cemeteries. We were so happy living in Ammon. It was really windy but the people were so friendly and fun.

My moms breast cancer came back. We weren't sure where and how bad so we decided to go on a road trip to Ohio. Lisa my sis and her family live there. They were baptizing her oldest so I felt impressed to go. It was amazing seeing the country. We saw the openness of Wyoming and the different landscapes in Colorado. Then on to Kansas and Missouri, Illinois, Indiana (I saw my first experience with lightning bugs. It was MAGICAL) Then onto Ohio. We saw the Kirtland temple. It was different. Then we were able to see Lydia be baptized. On the way home our adventures kept coming. We went through the Tom Sawyer cave (very fun). Then on to Carthage to the jail that Joseph and Hyrum were murdered. It had a feeling of forgiveness about it. It was nice. Then we went to Nauvoo! It was my favorite! I have 4 little boys and there was so much for them to enjoy while we were there. I loved it. We went to as much as we could in a day and a half. Then we went on to our home. We found a little gem in Iowa Train land USA. It was a perfect way to get up and stretch. Then the long trek through Nebraska and Wyoming.

The week after we came home to be with Julian again we found out that we were moving. We moved to Preston! It is a wonderful little town. We are in a beautiful 100+ old house. It makes me want to be more of a home maker. I keep finding myself wanting to make homemade rugs, and dreaming about moving on to a ranch and raising cattle or something. Funny

The boys played soccer this fall. It was so much fun to watch them. I am the luckiest mom! They are doing well in school. Gavin was Bapized it was a wonderful time.
