Light the Night

On Friday, October 2, 2009, I will be participating in the Light the Night walk for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. I would love anyone who wants to join me, to come walk with our team and raise some money for this great organization. Their research and information has helped to not only save my life, but my nieces as well.

Our team name: Sheri's Hodge Podge's

If you can't walk with us, then please take a moment to donate. Any amount will do...seriously, any!! Click Donate Now.

Thanks for all your support through my whole ordeal, I'm still feeling great and healthy and this is just one more way I...and you...can give back and help others that are or will one day struggle from this ugly thing called Cancer.

ZipLine

On Monday night, Brigitte and Tyler and Shane and I took a little adventure down south to a new zipline that has opened up in Spanish Fork. (Thanks for the info. Lisa.) It was fun to get out and do something a little different. Through the end of September on week nights you can get a coupon to do the zipline for $5, a pretty good deal. And although I thought it was pretty fun, I don't know if I would want to pay more then $5 to do it again. So if you have time, everyone should head down there and try it out. It wasn't crowded when we were there at all.

Afterwards we stopped for my favorite Mexican in Provo, Los Hermanos...mmm chips and salsa and shredded chicken tacos, my favorite. All in all it was a fun night to hang out with friends.












Shane was the last one down so we didn't get any pictures of him.

Mr. and Mrs. Pace

Brigitte is married!!!!! I couldn't be more happy for her.

The day turned out perfect. Both Tyler and Brigitte smiled all day long. Well, I did see a couple tears during the ceremony but they were happy tears. They both looked gorgeous, well Brigitte was gorgeous, Tyler was handsome of course. Brigitte's dress was so beautiful on her and of course Tyler's suit matched perfectly. They make quite the couple. Even the weather cooperated, with only a little wind during some pictures at the temple.

The reception was amazing, in her parents backyard and the yard looked perfect. All the colors, flowers, cake, everything turned their backyard into something amazing. We ate ice cream, candy and cake and it was all soo good. In fact I am still thinking about my lemon and raspberry ice cream with raspberry topping...mmmm good.

Most of all they are happy and I think Brigitte will agree when I say it was the day Brigitte always dreamed her wedding day would be.

So without further ado, I present to you:

MR. AND MRS. TYLER PACE...











Brigitte and I both survived and helped each other through many years of single life. It was good, fun, and frustrating. Now we continue our friendship with our husbands by our side.



So now they are off to start married life, and how great it is. I am so excited for them to start this journey and hope they always remember their wonderful wedding day.

Hot, hot, hot!

This last week my family went down to St. George for a little family vacation. I was a little, ok a lot worried that we would roast to death down there and why in the world were we going to St. George at one of the hottest times of the year. Of course we had a great time and found things to do and ways to stay cool and entertained.

My parents have a timeshare and we were able to not only get their timeshare, but they upgraded us to the penthouse! Which means we had a bigger condo to hang out in and we had our own private hot tub on the balcony. It made it fun because all the kids could swim in the hot tub while we watched them in the air conditioned condo. We also went to the pool each day and evening and tried to stay cool and used lots of sunblock. I am amazed at what good swimmers each of the kids are in our family.



The other big hit was the elevator rides the kids loved to go on. Constantly cute little Mia would come up and grab my hand and start leading me to the elevator. Of course I couldn't tell her no, so we went up and down the elevator many times.





One morning my dad, Cameron, Shane and I went to the driving range and hit a bucket of balls. I am not a golfer but it was fun to practice my swing. Maybe I'll take golf up one day.





We also got tickets to go see Annie at the Tuacahn ampitheatre. I loved the movie Annie and the play was really good. I tried not to sing along too loud but how can you not help but sing along with all those good songs. Even though the show didn't start until 830pm, we still roasted out there. Luckily there was a little breeze through part of it, but as soon as it stopped it was hot again.





We ate at Cafe Rio for Christy, and In-n-out for the rest of us, saw G-Force 3D (don't bother) and just had a good time hanging out.

One of the most fun parts of the trip was my dad put together 'Deal or No Deal' for each family member to play. We played a few rounds each night until everyone got a turn. The $ amounts ranged from $1 to $30. The 'banker' (my dad) seemed to be a little biased towards the grandchildren but we all had a fun time. Eliza got the highest amount of $16, I got $15, Shane got $12, we thought Jeff was going to be the lowest winner with only $8 but leave it to Christy to go all the way and chance it and open her envelope to find.....$1! We had a good laugh at that one, she was so mad. Her only goal at first was to make sure she beat Jeff, but then I think she got a little greedy and kept going a little too long.







Thanks Mom and Dad for a fun trip!

Island Park, Idaho

This last weekend Shane and I headed up to Island Park, ID for the his family reunion on his mom's side of the family. I have actually never been to Island Park and we had such a great weekend.


Shane and I, Shane's Mom, and her parents at the family reunion.

We got up there on Friday night and headed straight for the local rodeo. When I say local...I mean local. Basically anyone that was there could just walk up and participate. Shane's cousin rode a bull, another relative rode the steer and of course the young kids participated in the chase the calf event, whatever it's really called.



Saturday morning we drove over to the Mesa Falls. I was actually very impressed with the size of this fall and it was soo beautiful with the constant rainbow at the bottom of it. Then we drove around the lake and saw the huge lake front cabins.





Saturday lunch time was the official family reunion. I didn't count but I am sure there were close to 75 people there. It was fun meeting a lot of family that I had never met before.

Saturday afternoon Shane and I drove over to West Yellowstone and walked through the town looking at some shops and then buying some yummy fudge. Saturday night we went out to dinner with some of Shane's cousins and it was fun getting to know them better.

Sunday we went to Sacrament meeting at the Island Park ward. Over the holiday weekends, they have a huge turn out and this year was no different, they had over 2000 people in attendance. They were in every room in the church, on the lawn and anywhere you can think of.

After church we checked out of the motel and and drove over to Big Springs where we saw huge fish that you can feed and some beautiful water. There was even a muskrat swimming around that was kind of cute.





After another lunch with family, we headed home. We had such a great time relaxing (although I am pretty sure the mattress we slept on is the worst mattress I've ever slept on.) It was soo nice to get away just for the weekend and see a place I've never been to. I hope to go back and spend more time there hiking, floating the river, and doing some other things.

Do you recognize him?

This picture was too great not to post. Do you recognize who is on the TV? Yep, that is Jordan Knight of New Kids on the Block! I know I already told you my family's love for NKOTB but one more post doesn't hurt. Their tour this summer didn't stop in Salt Lake, however, they brought the tour to us. NKOTB decided to broadcast their 2nd to last concert of the tour over the internet. Lucky for me (and my family) I have a techy husband who was able to hook the laptop up to the TV and sound system. All my sisters and Brigitte came over (well my parents, Jeff and Whitney , and Tyler showed up as well) and we rocked out. I am sure the neighbors were wondering what was going on cuz the sound system was LOUD. It was so fun to be in the comfort of your home rocking out to the concert. We missed Christy this time as she was home in California but this picture gives you a good idea of the great night we had. (Jennifer was there but you can't really see her, just her arm.)

Glover Happenings

It's been a while since I posted what we've been up to lately. We've been so busy, but nothing really all that blog worthy. So I thought I would post a little update on the things that have been keeping us so busy.

In the last month I've had 1 brother, 1 sister, and 1 sister-in-law move. So we've spent some of our spare time moving and helping with the moving of each person. Hopefully they are all happy with their new places.

My mother-in-law came into town to help with one of the moves. It was fun having her stay with us, although she was gone a lot helping paint and lay carpet in the new house her daughter was moving into (yes my mother-in-law can lay her own carpet and has all the tools to do it.)

Within a 10 day period in June, there were 10 birthdays between mine and Shane's families...crazy. No more babies allowed the beginning of June!

My sister Christy and her family have been up here this week visiting. It's always fun when they come into town. We took advantage of everyone being together and had Goold Family pictures taken. Quiet the undertaking with 12 grandchildren.

My best friend, Brigitte got engaged to Tyler Pace. I am sooo excited for them and can't wait for their wedding. They are getting married August 7, so they only have about a 6 week engagement. Things are coming along but it's busy trying to get it all planned. Congratulations Brigitte and Tyler!

I was once again declared Cancer Free. Yes, I had another scan a couple weeks ago. I turned into a hypochondriac just like I did last time but all is well and no cancer exists in my body. I have hit the 1 year mark now and it feels good to be a year free of cancer. Do you like how I just throw this news here in the middle of my blog? Trying to let cancer screenings just be another normal part of my life. It doesn't rule my life anymore!

I've been busy with Church related things as well. The end of May we had a Youth Temple celebration that I was helping out with driving and getting the kids to and from practices. It was quite time consuming but it turned out really nice and I think everyone enjoyed it. We also had a ward activity that we were on the committee for. We had a old fashioned picnic and it turned out great. We had a lot of participation and everyone had a good time. I also had to speak that same week in sacrament meeting on Adversity...not my favorite topic but it turned out ok. That's twice in this ward that I have already spoken in a year...I think I'm set for a while now.

Well that's the list...busy,busy,busy but life is good, I have no complaints. Just trying to enjoy summer and the warm weather while it's here.
