What happened in the last few months







I finally have a working computer!! Over the last four months we had both our laptop and desktop break. We thought it would be nice to take a break from having one in our home for awhile. Thanks to my computer savvy Dad and his graciousness to fix our desktop we are back online. I have a lot to catch up with on the blog:
April
We took a family/business trip the end of April to Salt Lake City. We thought it would be nice since the kids hadn't been there in over six years. I wanted to see Temple Square in all it's spring bloom! I wasn't disappointed. They had colors of tulips that I didn't know existed. It was a wonderful time once we were there. As usual there is never a dull moment in the Fantauzzi's household. We drove out Friday afternoon around 4pm and by about 7pm we were in a blizzard!! We couldn't see a foot in front of us. (It came upon us quite quickly!) We were doing fine with roads, but it wasn't the same for the large Semi's. We came to a complete stop on the interstate just outside Laramie, WY. It appeared that the Semi's were having difficulty on a small hill/curve combination about a mile ahead of where we stopped. Justin called the highway patrol and they told us to sit tight and they should have the trucks cleared in an hour or two. Around midnight we had a highway patrol lady come to our door and ask how much gas we had and if we had any medical needs that wouldn't make it through the night! We had plenty of gas and we ended up spending the night in our suburban on the interstate. I had packed oranges, bananas and many other items that I never bring with us on a road trip. Needless to say we all did well sleeping in our car. Around 8am the snowplows came and we were on our way. We had a real enjoyable time visiting temple square and they added a new center in the Museum that the kids had fun visiting. Justin went to a retirement party that night and the kids and I enjoyed dinner and a movie in the hotel. We felt very blessed to have been so prepared and comforted that night before. Everyone was truly patient during our night's stay on the interstate and it will be one to remember!!
I will continue with the next few months and all the happenings!!
