I had to work which was okay and Gavin had the day off so he could plan something fun for us. He picked me up from work with flowers in hand! I loved it, he was all dressed up and ready to go to dinner. This was the gift he got me this year. </div></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fejQ1XVCCGw/Tz20_J37ppI/AAAAAAAABQo/bnp05Nf0pdo/s1600/pic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240px" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fejQ1XVCCGw/Tz20_J37ppI/AAAAAAAABQo/bnp05Nf0pdo/s320/pic.jpg" width="320px" yda="true" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dixmrJaGRAw/Tz20-XP-57I/AAAAAAAABQg/PNYslRycx6A/s1600/flowers.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320px" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dixmrJaGRAw/Tz20-XP-57I/AAAAAAAABQg/PNYslRycx6A/s320/flowers.jpg" width="240px" yda="true" /></a></div><div align="center" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"></div><div align="center">This is the picture that was drawn of us when Gavin proposed to me 3 years ago!

And this is what I got him...</div><div align="center"><br />

I realized that today as person after person brought me to tears. From school, finances, work and even the cafe, the effect that one person can have on another is tremendous. This made me think hard at work today as I worked frantically to get ready for different events, what kind of person am I? Am I also one that is added to a strangers list, or a reason they have a tear rolling down their face? Or am I the kind of person that can bring a smile to a persons face even though they are having a day like I did today? I hope I am that person. And if not, I will do my best from now on to send little gestures... even just a smile... to someone walking by me in the craziness of the mall to do my part.Who will you be today? As a wiseman once told me... be somebody's hero today.</div>Tawnya and Gavin Linsleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01062121597091332086noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8109591226435735661.post-33660033850390370382012-01-04T18:48:00.000-07:002012-01-04T18:48:00.646-07:00Christmas Bracelet<span id="goog_118309619"></span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Isnt this bracelet cute? My cute mother in law (Jill) made it for me for christmas and I love it so much I had to blog about it. I wore it to work and the girls were loving it, and especially that it was homemade! We also received a package from my mom and dad the other day with some work out goodies. Running shorts, and a GNC giftcard. Now I have no excuses to hit the gym for the next while. This week has been rough, it will get better though. I used to use the excuse that I was way too busy, but I know there are people way more busy than I am that manage to work out everyday. So... I can do it!</div>Tawnya and Gavin Linsleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01062121597091332086noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8109591226435735661.post-21904313282059026972012-01-02T21:36:00.000-07:002012-01-02T21:36:06.248-07:00A few of our Resolutions<div style="text-align: center;">Our new year's eve was nice and relaxing. We took Diesel for a walk, took a nap played the move and had a night full of super unhealthy snacks. We got the move (wii for the playstation) for christmas from the Linsley's and I pretty much dominated Gavin in every game... poor guy. </div><div align="center">Today was our first day back in the gym. I cant believe how long it has been but with the nice summer weather and then my craziest semester of school, I made up tons of excuses to not find time. I took a before picture, I didnt even consider posting it. They are only worth showing people when you have an after picture with it.</div><div align="center">Here are a few resolutions I have for the new year:</div><div align="center">Tawnya</div><div align="center">1. Take better care of my body: eating, exercising, pampering.</div><div align="center">2. go visiting teaching each month.</div><div align="center">3. be consistant with family and personal scripture study, prayers, and family home evening</div><div align="center">4. graduate from school</div><div align="center">5. maybe consider participating in the lotoja this year</div><div align="center">Gavin</div><div align="center">1. Gain 20 lbs.</div><div align="center">2. get more sleep</div><div align="center">3. love my wife more</div><div align="center">4. get my own store this year</div><div align="center">5. not to forget about my talk on sunday.... straight from his mouth.</div><div align="center">Diesel</div><div align="center">1. dont eat any shoes</div><div align="center">2. try to stop humping mom</div><div align="center">3. stop waking dad up at 3 every morning</div><div align="center">4. talk mom and dad into getting a little sister</div><div align="center">5. control my slobber and shedding (mom always get mad... but i cant control it!)</div><div align="center">So there ya go, a few things we want to do this year to improve ourselves to be better people. That is what this life is about after all isnt it? To grow and learn and to become more christlike each day, if only it was as easy as it sounds all of the time right.</div>Tawnya and Gavin Linsleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01062121597091332086noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8109591226435735661.post-54068289373246015322011-12-28T18:53:00.000-07:002011-12-28T18:53:58.294-07:00Holy Moly! It's Been A While!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>There wasn't much I could do last semester except study, homework and work. Now that I have finally been able to take a few days off and relax I can finally update my 2 readers on my life. I dont even know really where to begin. Well Gavin has quit his job and is now working with me at the Buckle and will be taking over his own store next year hopefully. They will be moving us to a different state, so we will see where heavenly father leads us. It is a lot of fun working with him, we dont go too crazy because we dont really work one on one a lot. He is on the sales floor and I do the visual work. <br />
<br />
During Halloween, I had a cool opportunity to go and help open a brand new store in scottsdale, az at the scottsdale quarter store. It was amazing there I loved it so much. I also had the chance to get some dinner with a really old friend Hayley Evans who is amazing! She is down in mesa getting her masters, ya she is really smart. It was so good seeing her. Because I was gone out of town we didnt get to spend Halloween together. We did go to a play before I left called "Dracula". It filled us with all the scariness we needed to feel okay to be apart for Halloween.<br />
<br />
Gavin and I have been so blessed to make the friends that we have up here. For thanksgiving we went to our friends house for brunch, Chris and Jamie, our good friends house for dinner, Cortney and Jason, and another friends house for dessert, The Vissors. I was in charge of making all of the plans and lets just say I am grounded from ever making plans again. Gavin was disappointed that we had such a busy holiday so he made our christmas plans.<br />
<br />
We were able to go down to Utah at the beginning of December for my dad's surprise 50th birthday party. It was so much fun to surprise him! All the kids went to PF Changs for dinner and him and my mom showed up totally surprised! I love my dad so much it is so weird for me to see him growing older. <br />

Gavin made our plans... of course... and we went over to our really good friends Jason and Cortney's house. We had the most DELICIOUS food and hung out with great company all night. We went home and played with our new christmas toys.<br />
<br />
Nothing too exciting is going on with us. We are both just working really hard in our jobs and me at school so we can have the success we want. Diesel is growing stronger and bigger everyday. He is trying harder to be a good boy and he is really wanting a little sister, no not a baby... a puppy. But we will see. Speaking of babies, my sister is expecting a boy so that is really exciting. She is due here in March and I cannot wait!Tawnya and Gavin Linsleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01062121597091332086noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8109591226435735661.post-10613364993699664382011-10-05T21:09:00.000-06:002011-10-05T21:09:45.996-06:00206 miles, 3 states, 1 day<div align="center">LOTOJA 2011 was... adventurous. Dont get me wrong, it was a nice relaxing trip. We were able to find a great kenneling place for Diesel called the montana dog ranch in which he loved. I think he was even sad to come home from such a fun weekend. We were able to leave bright and early on Friday morning, with only one stop the whole way we made it to Logan just in time for Gavin to pick up his racing packets. From Logan, and a disappointing meal at our used to be favorite cafe rio, we headed for a spa day at Janiels salon, "gavins sister". We both got a great new hairdo and all nice to meet up with my parents at Brick Oven Pizza. It was so delicious and a good carb load for Gavin. I am so happy they were willing to come up and eat with us, I sure do miss them all the time.</div><div align="center"><br />

</div><div align="center">When we were done with dinner, we headed back to the Linsley's for some quiet time, though it was crazy as ever. We were busy making food and water bottles and snacks and getting the boys all ready for their ride the next day. It was so nice to be there, I dont think I have laughed that much in a long time. Gaynard was constantly thinking of everything he might need to remind us of or teach us about with riding long races. Jill, Gavin and I could not help the smiles on our faces. Oh how we love Gaynard. After a restless night of sleep, we woke up bright and early for the race. We were up in Logan by 4:45 am getting tires pumped up and getting ready. Gavin was so anxious and excited, and I couldnt help but to have those feelings with him. <br />

</div><div align="center">It wasnt too long of a wait until the boys rode in. Gavin had a smile on his face and was feeling great. He was starting to get warm and took off his jacket and leggings. The poor guy also forgot to put on shammy butter.. but dont worry, he wasnt too shy to pull down his bibs and slap it on in front of the crowd. Jill and I were so embarrassed, when turning our heads we noticed gaynard doing the same thing!! Like father like son I guess. Well after some kisses and refueling, the boys were off again. this time we were to meet them in montpelier. This leg is longer, and a long drive for us as well. We pulled in and waited a longer this time. I was worried when Gavin wasnt coming in and wasnt coming in. Finally we see the guys come in.... but no Gavin. Gaynard told us how Gavin had to drop back because his knees were hurting him so bad. My heart sunk for him. He has had problems with his knees for a while now. He finally rolled in and was intantly swarmed with love and concern from family. I stood there and held his bike while his mom, sisters and cousin nurtured him to keep going. I stood there, helpless wondering and hoping that he would keep going. He looked up at me in pain and asked me what I though. I said to him, well you are already in pain, you mind as well keep going. He was frustrated with my remark, but understood what I meant. Jeremy filled him with pain killers, rubbed his knees with her secret oils and he was still not feeling well. He rested for a minute and we chatted. He knew how bad I wanted him to keep going... so he jumped on his bike. <br />

It is called King of the Mountain. You climb like 1300 ft in 10 miles or something crazy like that. I knew it would kill Gavin. I jumped in my car and instantly felt sick. Halfway up the "king of the mountain" was a shop with a bathroom and had to pull over. I finally felt okay enough to head up the mountain more. All the girls pulled over on a lookout point to watch the guys and later on Gavin ride by. I jumped out of the car with more medicine to give to gavin, and he shook it off as he rode by. I was so worried about him all I could do was cry! He had worked so hard for this race and wants to finish so bad... will his knees really keep him from finishing?? </div><div align="center">Jen, the sweetheart that she is, saw my teary eyes and decided to drive while I rested. As we walked over to my car, she asked for my keys. I checked my pockets frantically and my heart sunk! I LOCKED MY KEYS IN MY CAR! Not only that but we were literally in the middle of no where. After searching frantically for a slim jim, finding one and it not working, we were desperate. We sat in Jill's car while she went ahead with the others trying to figure out a plan. The only locksmith that was willing to come to our rescue was 1 hour and 15 minutes away. So we decided to accept and wait. We chatted, and cried and laughed and told stories. It was so much fun hanging out with her, I miss having family close like that. Dan the locksmith came to our rescue. Once I got in my car, I followed Jen and we punched it to 90 mph! We had to make it to the finish line, that is if Gavin even kept going. The moment I had service I called Jill and she told me Gavin was doing GREAT!! He was smiling and happy and doing well, he was going to FINISH the race!! We raced to Teton Village as fast as my Yaris could go and in passing gavin I couldnt help but scream out the window to him to Keep Going! He finally crossed the finish line with tears in his eyes of relief and emotion at 13 hours and 38 minutes!</div><div align="center"><br />

She is always finding way to teach me things that I can use not only in work, but in my life. She is a great example to me as a boss, a mother, a wife, a friend and a stranger, I look up to her a lot. I was watching our buckle year end video today, and she asked me why?? I told her I just needed a little lift, a little inspiration to work hard today. She showed me this video... and its amazing. She never fails to keep me working hard.

It might take a minute to load, but trust me it is worth it. <a href="http://www.wimp.com/wantsuccess/">http://www.wimp.com/wantsuccess/</a></div>Tawnya and Gavin Linsleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01062121597091332086noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8109591226435735661.post-90918783549269690802011-08-08T19:44:00.000-06:002011-08-08T19:44:16.703-06:00Just Hanging Out<div align="center">There hasnt been much going on with us since I got home from California. I have been working a lot and really hard and it seems to be paying off, I am right track to get where I want to be it seems. Gavin has been busy with work also, and hanging out with me. The summers are so beautiful here it is hard to stay inside in my free time to update this ole' thing. We have been riding bikes a lot, hiking, baseball games, pool, dinner, just having fun together while the sun is still shining. It seems winter isnt too far away and it makes me sad to think about. Gavin's family is coming up to visit us this weekend and I just cant wait! We have a lot of fun things planned. Well here are just a couple pics from some hikes...</div><div align="center"><br />

All I can really say that it was an amazing trip that I needed to much. I dont know what it was, being around such great friends, being where I feel at home... being happy?? But the spirit was so strong for me my whole trip, I felt like I didnt want to leave! To start out, right when I had arrived to the LA airport, my best friend Catherine was there to pick me up. I was a little worried because I hadnt seen her in 2 years and I hoped that nothing in our friendship had changed. As soon as I saw her and got in the car she said, "Wow you still look like a Utah girl but you live in Montana... thats weird." haha I knew that it was like I had never left! She is so hilarious and fun I love our friendship. Right when we got into town we stopped by Buffalo Wild Wings and I sent this pick to Gav just to rub it in a little..<br />

After lunch we went straight to the Kim and Lynda's house and I could not wait to see them. This is the coupld that I lived with while I went to school down there. It was so good to see them. I love them so much and I love being around them. We sat and chatted for hours until it was time for me to go to Kylie's bachelorette party... that was why I went down after all. It was so nice to see Kylie. She was so cute and so excited to get married I loved it. For her party we got a hotel on the beach in Oxnard and headed down to Santa Monica to hang out on the pier and to go to dinner. Her sisters and friends kept me laughing all night, it was a good time. Here are some pics...<br />

We woke up early and hitched a ride with the Allen's down to the beach. Kim either goes surfing every morning or if the surf is bad he takes Thor, his dog, for a walk. Well his health hasnt been too good so he cant go surfing for a while. The sad part was that the surf was good and the water was so nice that I could tell it was killing him inside to not be out there with his buddies. But we all went on a nice walk on the beach, Thor went crazy over every stick and it was nice for me to feel at home. <br />

After the beach Cath and I went and picked up her mom Lori.. whom I also love.. and we went straight to in-n-out.. of course. We went to the park and chatted at ate and just caught up on life. I cannot believe how much time went by. Catherine and I then headed to the mall for some shopping. I feel a little shopping deprived here in Missoula, when you come you will understand why. They just got an H&M there so we basically went crazy in it. I found this skirt that I absolutely loved...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BbOnPLz1FM8/TiOmkkavn1I/AAAAAAAABHo/8wRQZLAbHK0/s1600/2011-07-08_15.42.02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320px" m$="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BbOnPLz1FM8/TiOmkkavn1I/AAAAAAAABHo/8wRQZLAbHK0/s320/2011-07-08_15.42.02.jpg" width="240px" /></a></div><br />
I sent this pic to Gav asking if I could get it. He then explained to me why I couldnt and I was pretty bummed. I looked at Catherine and she was like you cant get it?? I could tell she loved it! So of course I bought it for her. Hey if I cant have it, why not get it for my best friend. She was so excited and wore it to church that Sunday and I must say, she looked stunning. After shopping we headed to the Allen's for the night for some delicious vegan food and some True Grit. And again I felt right at home like I had never left... I loved it. <br />

I woke up and snuck out of the room so I didnt wake up Catherine and got ready for Jeff and Kylie's wedding. She came and picked me up around 7 and we headed up to the temple which is about 1 hour away. I was lucky enough to attend their sealing and it was so wonderful. I am so happy that they chose to be married in the temple and it is a decision they will never regret! I learned so much from their sealing and soaked in every word. Waiting for them to come out of the temple was beautiful. The grounds there is full of flowers and the sun was shining so beautifully, I just sat in the sun and soaked it in. <br />

I got to see a lot of people that I knew and I got to meet some cool people as well. Catherine showed up at the end and we sat and laughed together. After we got home and I changed into some comfy clothes, yup... straight to in-n-out. haha I had to get it while I could. We went and visited with her family and they are so awesome. They are for sure such a great example of what I want my family to be like. Sunday, I must say, was one of the most amazing Sunday's I have had in a while. We went and listened to Kim speak in a ward and he is just so amazing. He spoke about temples, temple marriage, importance of going to the temple and how much he loves Lynda. I love listening to him talk about Lynda. They are such a cute couple and I look up to them so much. After going to Cath's family ward, it was straight home to pack and we were on our way. Catherine said she had a surprise for me and brought it in. and guess what it was... the skirt I wanted so bad. She said she loved it so much and knew I did too and couldnt let me leave without it! What a good friend, not saying that gifts is what makes you one, but I love that our friendship is selfless like that. I was so happy and gave her a big hug! I got some pics before my trip home...<br />

I feel the thing that makes me love it there so much is that when I am there, I feel so loved and so wanted. I know that everyone there cares so much about me and genuinely wants what is best for me. I know they all miss me a lot and it makes me feel so good and so important, who wouldnt want to feel that way? Well I miss it there already, though Gavin is happy to have his wife back and I am happy to be back too. Hopefully it isnt 2 years before I make it back again. </div>Tawnya and Gavin Linsleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01062121597091332086noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8109591226435735661.post-15405341826987077302011-07-17T21:10:00.000-06:002011-07-17T21:10:59.534-06:00This weekend<div align="center">We had a pretty fun weekend. On friday we went with our friends Amy and JT to get some delicious sushi, mmmmm it was good. After we headed to the Union Club to listen to our friend Amanda and her band sing. They are called Amanda Garcia and Beyond the Pale. Look her up on You Tube she is pretty much amazing. Saturday after a lazy morning we decided to go to the farmers markets and walk around downtown. We didnt end up getting anything except for this...</div><div align="center"><br />

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">We had a really nice fourth of July. We got invited to our friends house for dinner and a movie. We love hanging out with the Heintz, they are such good friends to us. We had some delicious sweet pork burritos and played outside for a while. We then went and saw the movie Larry Crowne, it was a cute movie and nice and clean, just how I like it. Here are some fun pics.</div></div><div align="center"><br />

It is crazy to me that three minutes of seeing how strong our youth is strengthens my testimony so much. This temple is especially important to the Linsley's because my husband and his dad plastered the whole thing. We spent a lot of time on the beautiful temple grounds in Laie, and we miss it there so much. Member or not, you will not be disappointed in the Laie Temple and the feelings you have when you are there. Definately a special place.</div><div align="center"><br />

<div align="center">Jen was the most beautiful bride I have ever seen... She is like model beautiful. Janiel, Gavin's other sister, was wonder woman during the wedding. She made the most amazing cake for Jen, did Jen's hair and the flower girls hair, got her family ready and herself. I dont know how she did it, but she was amazing. Gavin and I also got to meet our new nephew Owen.<br />

He loved Gavin holding him and was always so good and smiled the whole time, I was so jealous. I would want to hold him, and then he would cry. Maybe I need more motherly practice. Gina is such a great mother, she is so happy holding baby Owen and is so patient with him. Gaynard and Jill are always fun to see, and they missed diesel so much!</div><div align="center">Saturday we got to spend the whole day with my family... which I loved. I have missed them so much!! After helping shontel move the piano to her house, which is so unfair.. even though I havent played for years.. we planned on going boating! We got all ready, pulled the boat to the lake with snacks and drinks, backed it in and... battery dead! Ugh at first it was so frustrating for Gavin and I, then we got the offer to go swim at the neighbors house and decided to do that. It was so fun to play with my siblings. Shontel and Kamron havent been up to too much. Shontel got a job teaching in draper and Kamron got a new job as well. Parker is busy dating, with school, and just got a job as a cna. Shyanne is living the life as always, and Jacob is playing waterpolo like crazy and is super tan. My mom didnt get to come and play with us because she is house sitting for family in San Fran, which I am so jealous about. It was nice spending some good time with my dad though. We have such a special friendship that I love and miss all the time. </div><div align="center">While we were swimming, we were beating up on eachother, of course. Shontel had one last jump off of the diving board before they had to leave. We all had our swim toys ready, and when she jumped we all threw them at her as hard as we could... well at least I did :) She came up crying and we all laughed at her like.. ya right you are fine.

While we were ordering the question came... what sauce would you like with that? I answered all of them. Gavin looked at me like, you dont need all. But I did! I needed to find my favorite so I new what to order from now on. The lady was like.. All?

We have gone on a few hikes that have been really pretty and relaxing for us. The other day I babysat my friend's daughter and it was so much fun. We went swimming, to the grocery store, made brownie's and went on a hike! It made me so excited for when we finally have our own kids. It was fun to see Gavin playing and joking around with her, he will be a cute dad. It will be nice to have kids and more meaning to life than just work. Well here are some pics, you will get more this weekend since Jen is getting married...

Usually when you are right in the middle of those trials, it is easy to feel hopeless. Tonight for family night we needed a little boost, so we read a talk called "Press On" by Joseph B. Wirthlin in the 2004 General Conference. It is such a great talk and not only gives you the boost you need, but some helpful hints to put things back in perspective for you.</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em>"I have lived long enough to experience firsthand many of the challenges of life. I have known exceptional people who have endured severe trials while others, at least on the surface, seem to have lived charmed lives.</em></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em>Often those who struggle with adversity ask the question “Why did this happen to me?” They spend sleepless nights wondering why they feel so lonely, sick, discouraged, oppressed, or brokenhearted.</em></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em>The question “Why me?” can be a difficult one to answer and often leads to frustration and despair. There is a better question to ask ourselves. That question is “What could I learn from this experience?”</em></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em>The way we answer that question may determine the quality of our lives not only on this earth but also in the eternities to come. Though our trials are diverse, there is one thing the Lord expects of us no matter our difficulties and sorrows: He expects us to press on."</em></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times;">There is this amazing couple in my ward that spoke on Sunday. The wife said something that has stuck with me. She said that Heavenly Father will bless us with our trials until we learn from them what we need to. Sometimes we have no idea what it is we are supposed to learn, but I know that as we are patient, and endure with faith, Heavenly Father will soon help us learn.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><em>I know there are many that suffer heartbreak, loneliness, pain, and setback. These experiences are a necessary part of the human experience. However, please do not lose hope in the Savior and His love for you. It is constant. He promised that He would not leave us comfortless.</em></div><div style="text-align: center;"><em></em><em> </em><div style="text-align: center;"><em>When we face challenges in our lives, we are comforted by the words of the Lord in the 58th section of the Doctrine and Covenants:</em><em><br />
</em><div style="text-align: center;"><em>“Ye cannot behold with your natural eyes, for the present time, the design of your God concerning those things which shall come hereafter, and the glory which shall follow after much tribulation.</em></div><div style="text-align: center;"><em> </em><div style="text-align: center;"><em>“For after much tribulation come the blessings. Wherefore the day cometh that ye shall be crowned with much glory; the hour is not yet, but is nigh at hand.”</em></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">This talk was so perfect for Gavin and I. I dont want to say brutally honest, but it definately set us back on track. I hope that if any are going through some rough times right now, click here and take a sec to read it...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://lds.org/general-conference/2004/10/press-on?lang=eng&query=overcoming+obstacles">http://lds.org/general-conference/2004/10/press-on?lang=eng&query=overcoming+obstacles</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">I love the church and the help it gives us when we need it most</div></div></div></div>Tawnya and Gavin Linsleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01062121597091332086noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8109591226435735661.post-90892482745431039542011-06-08T18:40:00.000-06:002011-06-08T18:40:38.610-06:00Hiking The M<div align="center">The Missoula valley is so beautiful and green with all of this rain we have gotten lately... although the river 10 ft. from my house is about to flood! There is no better way to see how pretty the valley is than to hike up to the M above the University and take a gander. So, Gavin and I decided to go and do just that. Diesel and I actually tagged along with Gavin went with the scouts. </div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ys5mXs4ttKU/TfAVXyXakJI/AAAAAAAABBY/0AdwqbYeuPQ/s1600/M.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213px" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ys5mXs4ttKU/TfAVXyXakJI/AAAAAAAABBY/0AdwqbYeuPQ/s320/M.jpg" t8="true" width="320px" /></a></div><br />
<div align="center">I was the last one to the top, not that I am out of shape.. well, a little. But Diesel was huffin and puffin! The first 3 switch backs he was dragging me the whole way and after that I was dragging him. It was nice when we got to the top, and the hike actually wasnt that bad!</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DG3t5f1Hoh8/TfAVb2_x4WI/AAAAAAAABBc/L4_EHU6nPBI/s1600/hiking+the+m.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320px" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DG3t5f1Hoh8/TfAVb2_x4WI/AAAAAAAABBc/L4_EHU6nPBI/s320/hiking+the+m.jpg" t8="true" width="240px" /></a></div><br />
<div align="center">I had Gavin walk him down, and Diesel wanted to sprint the whole way. There were a few deer that ran across the trail, I had never seen one that up close before. Oh we got a new car since ours was totalled in my wreck. I dont have any pics of it yet but its a toyota yaris and it is awesome. Tiny for sure but 40 mpg!! Nothing can beat that!</div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><br />

I had such a nice relaxing birthday which is exactly what I asked for. First, layed in bed with Gavin and Diesel and chatted for as long as I wanted to. When I finally decided to get out of bed Gavin had a bowl full of warm oatmeal for me with a big bag of presents sitting on the table. Gavin gave me a new work out outfit, shorts, a live strong shirt, sports bra and a new pair of running shoes.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-I1PBC7a5tcs/TeW-NMNEpqI/AAAAAAAABBU/y3TPVdeqWKg/s1600/shoe.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212px" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-I1PBC7a5tcs/TeW-NMNEpqI/AAAAAAAABBU/y3TPVdeqWKg/s320/shoe.jpg" t8="true" width="320px" /></a></div><br />
<div align="center">I am so excited that I got new shoes. I have had the same running shoes since my first year in Ventura which was 4 years ago! Time flies. My shoes lasted me forever they are like vintage now. I got some birthday money from some family members which got me 2 new flats which are adorable. I also got 6 new down east wonder tees from Jill and Gina, which if you have gone through the temple you know that these are a life saver! I also got the cutest black skirt ever from them. I got to take nap and hang out with Gav all day and then he took me to dinner to the Tamarack. It was such a nice day off from work and cleaning and the stresses of life. </div><div align="center">Just an update on our car situation... we are in the process of looking for a new one. Good news is we got more for the car than we owe which is nice. If you know of any cars that are worth buying let me know! Well another year down, who knows what this next one will hold for me. New places, job opportunities, graduation?? We will see I guess.</div>Tawnya and Gavin Linsleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01062121597091332086noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8109591226435735661.post-75414458987254783062011-05-25T19:05:00.000-06:002011-05-25T19:05:08.731-06:00Fishin' with the Fam<div align="center"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This past weekend Jen and Casey came and visited us! We had so much fun with them and it was so nice for Gavin and I to get to know our soon to be brother-in-law better. Casey is a big time fly fisher, which is mostly the reason for visiting ;), so him and Gavin could not wait to get out on the lake. The rivers are just about to flood here, so it is definately not good for fishing right now. While the boys went out to find some fish, Jen and I soaked in the sun on the shore. We went to the farmers market where Gavin had a deep fried milky way, Jen a twinkie and Casey a Snickers. I passed. </div><br />

He is now one year old which makes him... I dunno 10 in doggie years? We dont have anything too big planned to do today. Mostly his favorite things, take a nap, go on a big long walk. We hope to have cake and ice cream with his friends lucky and lola sometime this week. We got him a new bone and a new kong, since those are the only things that seem to stick around longer than an hour. Well I thought I would post some pics of his first year of life.</div><div align="center"><br />

Jen and Casey had just gotten in town so I was so excited and anxious to get to work so they day could go by fast. I woke up early and had a happy quiet morning while getting ready. I said goodbye to my two boys who were cuddled up on the bed and walked out to a beautiful warm spring morning. I jumped in my car and headed to work! The roads werent very busy and I was enjoying my morning thinking about all the fun things the weekend held. When all of a sudden I saw a truck coming right at me. I slammed on my breaks, honked and tried to swerve and miss him, but it was too late. For a second I could breathe, but when I could, all I could do is scream and cry. I didnt know if I was okay or not at first, I couldnt tell if I was hurt. All I knew was I could tell my car was smashed. I called Gavin right away and all I could get out was I got in a wreck on south and you need to come. A lady came and opened my door. She sat with me for a minute, calmed me down and made sure I was okay. I cant remember what her name was, but I am so happy she was there. I was so nice to have a hand to hold until Gavin got there. You are probably dying to see a pic...</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tzZhF5UEx2c/Tdk-_XkgLQI/AAAAAAAAA_I/Y_kHnpKBLQY/s1600/wreck.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320px" j8="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tzZhF5UEx2c/Tdk-_XkgLQI/AAAAAAAAA_I/Y_kHnpKBLQY/s320/wreck.jpg" width="240px" /></a></div><br />
<div align="center">Gavin finally arrived and the police. We ended up getting things figured out okay but I am still so sad at what happened. I am so happy that Jen and Casey were here to help us through everything with our insurance and to comfort us. And I am so thankful that I was able to stay safe through it all. I realized yesterday that I didnt give Gavin a kiss before I left for work. I always kiss him goodbye! I learned my lesson, thats for sure. We are frustrated with this happening in such a inconvinient financial time for us, but we are so thankful to heavenly father for keeping me safe. All the damage that was done is a bruise on my hip from my seatbelt and some hardcore whiplash.</div><div align="center"><br />

<div align="center">Not only is she beautiful, but she has taught me just about everything I know. She has taught me to be stubborn, to work hard and to never give up. She has also taught me the importance of family, friends and service. I miss her all the time and always hope that I make her proud and she would be happy with who I have become.</div><div align="center">And of course my Mother-in-law Jill.</div><div align="center"><br />

<div align="center">Jill is such a great Mom, and is such a great example to her girls of a loving mother and wife. She has taught me a lot about Gavin, how to love him and how to keep him in line. She is always wanting everyone to be happy and will do just about anything to make it that way. I love her so much and am so happy that I was lucky enough to get the mother-in-law that I did. I hope she has the best mothers day ever, and I think she will because she is a new GRANDMA!!</div><div align="center"><br />

<div align="center">Everyone, meet baby Owen Jackson Tippets! He is the newest addition to our family and we have been waiting for him for a long time! He was born 5-7-11 and is healthy and beautiful. Gavin and I havent gotten to meet him yet, but we got to see him over web cam. We didnt find out his full name until last night, and we are so touched that they picked the name Jackson. The name has such a special meaning to our family, since we lost a good friend baby jackson not too long ago. </div><div align="center">Today we were invited to celebrate the day of Mothers with some good friends in our ward. We got to go to their families ranch and visit all the animals and enjoy the beautiful day.</div><div align="center"><br />
