Reunion Photos











We had a great time at the reunion. I didn't come with the best mood but it's wonderful that being with the family always helps make me feel better. It was a much needed break for me. I love everyone so much and missed mom and Janni, Greg, Taylor and Morgan. Thanks for the great weekend!

We Love Heber Valley Camp






















Well our family reunion was a great success. The Hurst family had a wonderful time. I know many made sacrifices to come and we're so glad you did. Thanks for all you did while not being in charge Frances. It was so wonderful because of you. We love our Horsley family verrrrry much. We missed mom and Greg and Janice, Taylor and Morgan. We thought about you and talked about how great it would be to all show up in Kentucky unannounced to suprise you. You are always with us Cook Family. We can't wait until Thanksgiving to all be together again.

We Beat Beethoven



On September 13th Frances and I ran a 5K to beat Beethoven's 9th symphony which is about 32 minutes long. We both did well. Here are some pictures after the race. Becky ran it also. She did very well also. Checkout Becky and Frances' blogs for more details. RaeAnn

Missing my family!

Just wanted to tell everyone that I/we are missing you so much.

Being in Kentucky is where we are suppose to be, I do not doubt that. However, it is really hard most days to know that when we are waking up at 7am it is only 5am in Utah, or that we can't just jump in the car and go visit for the weekend, or to know that half (exaggeration) is training and running for the Half marathon or 5k in St George on Nov 8Th. It is strange to think that when we are climbing in bed at 10:30pm it is only 8:30 and you are all still awake. We have missed Nate's baptism and we have missed Birthdays, and we will have to miss the Horsley reunion at Heber Valley Camp.

Here is a quote I have been thinking alot about:
"You only ever grow as a human being if you're outside your comfort zone." ~Percy Cerutty

So living outside of Utah and away from out friends and family is definitely out of my comfort zone, but I wouldn't change this time for anything. I know that as a family we are changing for the better. I know Greg has changed and is looking forward to more changes in the future, and I know I have changed. I like the changes in us and I like who we are becoming. Not that we were bad or horrible, but we are just looking at our life, the Gospel and this Country with totally new and opened eyes.

Thanks for all your support and remember we love and miss you all.
