About Us

Billings, Montana, United States
The Professor and I were civilly married 24 May 1998 and sealed for time and all eternity 11 Sept 1999 in the Mt. Timpanogas Temple, American Fork, UT. We have, between us 6 biological children and 3 we claim as ours through the heart strings! We call Billings, Montana home and love it here. We camp, hunt, fish, ride horses and LOVE bull riding and rodeos. Our church is a huge part of our lives and our callings keep us very busy. We love our Saviour, Jesus Christ and strive to show that love to our fellow man every day. We got our nicknames because I am the "spark" that keeps things lively around here, and he was smart enough to marry me! That's the short story on it anyway!

THE NEW TRUCK AND OTHER STUFF

Hey all! What a beautiful day it is here in Montana today. It's in the 60's, the sun is bright and the sky and endless blue. I love spring in Montana!


The other day, the Professor and I bought a brand new pick-up truck. It is an '09 Chevy Silverado 4X4, 1/2 ton, crew cab, 5.3L engine. It has Onstar, duel climate controls, XM satellite radio and lots more! When we drove it off the lot, it had 7 miles on it!! It's beautiful bright red.


We figure it's the last brand new vehicle we are going to buy, so we wanted to get a great truck, and in an effort to put forth our part of stimulating the economy AND trying to help GM from going bankrupt....well, it's a beaut!


Now on to other things! Have you ever wondered what a red-neck, white-trash BBQ might look like? Well wonder no more...just look at the picture below and you will know! Yuppers..that's me, with hair color in my hair, a nightgown on and roasting weiners over a coleman burner! I really wanted to BBQ something that day, but the Professor wasn't ready to get the grill out of hibernation, so we did it this way! It was a blast and the hot dogs tasted great!
And last, but not least....never let it be said that I am not a really cool old lady! The "younger" generation talks about having their "Peeps" meaning their "people" or in other words, their friends. Well, guess what..as you can tell by the picture below...I got my Peeps too!!!
With that..have your best day so far!

Cool wheels, Mari, love the color. Now you can use it to come up to Canada to visit me. :) We are having awesome weather right now, but it is Southern Alberta, so the next breath might be totally different.

I often put your blog on just to listen to your music. Love it!

Hope all is well with you, WW BARB
