So I realized today that we have 12 weeks left here in Sierra Vista and we will have been here for 12 years. So I thought it would be fun to document 12 amazing memories of this place we have called home. So here we go. . . . . .
#1 Fried Chicken Picnic and Fireworks with Amazing People
It would be fitting to start with the fist day we arrived here in Sierra Vista. Brian had come a month earlier, but Braxton and I had stayed in Utah to help with a wedding so we arrived here on July 4, 2001. It had been a long month without Brain and then a very long, long drive to get here. I was ready to just relax when Brain announced that we had been invited by the Thornburgs to the fireworks. So we packed up and headed off to the soccer fields. Little did I know that this would begin our first and my most favorite family tradition. It also was the beginning of realizing that even when you are far far away from family the gospel provides an amazing family to fall back on.
A Special Thank You to the Thornburg family for making our 1st day in Sierra Vista AMAZING!
Nothing beats PoFolk Chicken and Niagra Falls.

Brian even added to the tradition the next year buy making Homemade Root Beer for all the seminary kids and friends who stopped by to just say Hi.

Niagara Falls
We are going to miss the amazing fireworks here, but even more all the friends we get to see each year at the biggest, best picnic I have ever been on.
