Our House!

Well life being busy this last month would be an understatement! Between Me working full time and Mike being at school we have still managed to be occupied ALL of the time.
                    A couple of weeks ago we got to go fishing with father Johnson and Mike's brother Kevin. It was an over nighter to Strawberry, Mike went up with Dad on Friday during the day and they both caught about 18 fish!! But they were only able to keep 8 because of the fishing regulations in Utah. So for dinner Friday night we had tin foil dinners and ate so fishys! Saturday Morning we got up at the crack of dawn and got out on the lake, despite our desire to catch some fish, we only caught 5 fish but all were to small to keep, except one. But he still managed to wiggle his way off the chain and get back into the lake. So I guess it is good Mike and Dad caught so many fish the day before because we may have gone home empty handed!
2 weeks ago, I got off work early, Mike and I drove down to Grand Junction, Colorado with his Mom & Dad to watch his sister Marci play a soccer game, Marci has a scholarship to play for University Highlands New Mexico. It was really fun to see Marci play in person, and to eat dinner with her at Cafe Rio after wards. We drove back that same night and got back about 3:30 AM, but not before Mike got pulled over for speeding, he thought he was going 5mph over, but was really going 15mph over. Luckily the police man could tell he made an honest mistake, and let us go with a warning!! YAY!!
                     Then last weekend Mike's sister Alyse thought it would be fun if we did a 5K as a family! So on Saturday morning at 7:30 we all assembled at Lindon City Park, and participated in a 5K. Mike finished in a whopping 25 minutes!! I finished in about 42 minutes! Although my time is not that impressive, when I came across the finish line I was just balling because my knees hurt so bad! (If you don't know/Remember, I went to an orthopedic surgeon in January of this year because my knees were hurting so bad when I was just walking or going up and down stairs. The orthopedic surgeon said that I had patellofemoral syndrome, which simply put means that the cartilage in my knees are softening so when I run the knee cap is grinding on my leg bones...OUCH!) But it was so awesome to be able to finish and finish with an okay time. But Mike on the other hand also had a soccer game a few hours later. It was an out door game so the game was 90 minutes long and their team was down a player the entire games and for about 20 minutes was down 2 people. He scored a goal, and they won 3-1!! Go Mike!!
                This past week my Mom has been helping me sow my Halloween Costume! As you know we went to see Wicked in SLC in August, the play had a huge impact on us so Mike' and I decided to do a Wicked Wizard of OZ Halloween party at our new house for the family! I have decided to be Glinda, my dress will be Big, and Pink, and Poofy! I will be making my costume, so my Mom has been over many times to help me get going on my costume! I am now just waiting for my hoop skirt to come in the mail to make the final steps on my dress! I am very excited to be working on this project with her!
                 This weekend we are going to be able to move into our house! After waiting for only a month, we are going to be able to move in! We have a moving truck scheduled for Saturday morning at 9AM, if you wanna help let us know! We could use any extra hands that are willing to help!! Well I think that is all that is new but we as always thank you all for your love and prayers you send our way. We hope everyone is well and hope to see everyone soon! Love you ALL!!

Love,
Lindy Johnson
