Valentines Day

2010-02-19T10:58:00.000-08:00

Sister Wilcox and her companion Sister Flick sent us this cute valentines day card. She also sent little individual Batman valentines for each of us. After I got mine I was at Cassie's place and She had sent Cassie one along with all of her roommates a little Batman one also. She is a cute girl. She is doing well and as you can see by the ticker SHE added she's getting a little excited about coming home. However, she said the work has started picking back up so we will see in a couple months if she still feels like she wants to come home. They(friends, hubby, etc.) say that the last 6 months you finally feel comfortable with everything and really know what you are doing so you hate to see it end. All I know is that when she gets home I'm going to lose half my wardrobe. . . What??? She left the cloths here. Ha ha. Anyway, until next time, God Bless.

Merry Chrismas for the Wilcox Family!!

Hey all! Just wanted to say that we got to talk to Tavia on Christmas and it was wonderful!! Mom put her on speaker phone and she offered a family prayer for us and we were all in tears. . . even the boys. She is still Tavia but she has that mature spiritual feel about her. And a confidence that I think she was lacking before. She loves serving but is also looking forward to getting home. We love her very much and we are so glad that she is out there being faithful and serving the Lord.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SISTER WILCOX!!!!!

2009-11-03T19:05:00.000-08:00

So today is Tavia's birthday and since we can't call her I just wanted to do a little shout out to her today. Tavia is doing great on her mission. She is getting ready to transfer to her next area and she is great about writing letters to all of us that are uplifting and delightful. She set up an entire family home evening for us and it turned out great. I felt like it was a really good experience for our family. Anyway, so Happy Birthday my beautiful sister. We are all thinking of you today and hope it was great. We love you!!!

6 months of service

2009-10-01T15:46:00.000-07:00

Not really much to update. Last week Sister Wilcox and Her companion had to stay in because Tav was sick and the mission Pres. Mom didn't want her to spread it to anyone. So they were a little stir crazy. But other than that they are doing great. I don't know if I wrote that she is on her second companion, Sister Singleton, and she gets along well with her also. Tavia is 1/3 of the way done with her mission and we are excited to get to talk to her for Christmas. Mom is so good at supporting Tav out there. I have been really impressed with her. She keeps Tavia updated on everything. We are all missing her quite a bit but are thankful for her willingness to serve Heavenly Father and his children and for the blessings that come from her doing so. At the rate things are going Sister Wilcox will be home in no time. Thanks for reading if you are still keeping up with this. Sorry it's been a while.

4 months down....

2009-08-18T16:04:00.001-07:00

Don't know if anyone is still reading this but i thought I would write and let everyone know that Sister Wilcox is doing great. She has had four baptisms and is loving her mission. The heat has been a little hard for her but she continues to be upbeat. Her companion was transferred this week , and she had a hard time with that because they were very close. It was lucky that she got such a great Sister as a trainer. But again, she is optimistic about the future. She has been out 4 months!! The time has gone by so fast. And she actually may be coming home in August of next year because the sisters get to choose which transfer they want to leave on. If not then then September of next year, but still, it is going fast. And we will see if she really even wants to come home at all by then. Meanwhile we are all enjoying her uplifting e-mails and letters and love to see the changes taking place in her. I will post a picture of her "Southern Grandma" as she calls her. She looks like a great lady. 95, I think, and still looks very strong. So I will get that up soon along with some other pictures I have received from her. Thanks for the continued support.

2009-06-12T11:03:00.000-07:00

This is just one of many e-mails we have received form Sister Wilcox. She is very upbeat about everything. Please continue to write to her and support her. Thanks Everyone!

Family Hello!!!! How are yall? I am doing great! Brother Moffett got Baptized Sunday!!! yay it was my first official baptism and it was amazing! You could see such a big difference from the time we started teaching him to now. It is amazing the things the gospel can do for ya...
Also there is another lady in the ward that has been coming for a year with her husband but she is just investigating the church and no one has taught her before us cuz they have been too afraid so we finally started teaching her and she wants to be baptised before our district leader(Elder Liddiard) goes home...thats only 2 weeks cuz this transfer ends early cuz of the new mission pres coming in....
It just keeps getting more and more humid here...I am not liking it very much but it only lasts for 4 more months haha.
I had Jambalaya for the first time the other day and it is now my favorite southern food and dad needs to make it at the reunion but only if he puts hamburger and sausage in it..I will get the recipie from the lady that made it....well I love yall...Keep writing...even letters! hope to hear from yall soon....LOVE YOU!!!!!!!
Love, sister Tavia Whitney Wilcox

Mother's Day missionary visit

2009-05-10T21:23:00.000-07:00

Well, we all got to talk to Sister Wilcox today. She is doing really well. we talked to her for almost an hour. She sounds so happy. She says she doesn't miss her phone, she is dealing with the bugs, and she has a cute car. She talked about so much. She said that they have a few people they are teaching, two of which have dates set to be baptized. And she said that after seeing the power of the priesthood in action, (not that she hasn't before, but I think there is more use of it in the mission field,) she will not settle for anything less than marrying a priesthood holder. I thought that was wonderful. We talked about how she needs socks, and her camera charger, how she had to teach a lesson all by herself yesterday so she can start learning the doctrine really well, and how it went fast because she was nervous. She told me she would try and catch a firefly for me and send it home. Jeremy was like, "Shay, it won't survive, it will just look like a little dead beetle." but I don't care. I just want to see one. And hopefully I can go with mom and dad to pick her up and see them actually glowing. She said the weather is OK in her area right now. She said it has been raining a lot but everyone tells her that is just what it does there. In areas close to her they have had tornado and flash flood warnings but not where she is YET. She has not had to use her Bike yet, but says it is pretty, purple and has designs on it. LOL Also, they live kind of far from the other area they are over. And I guess they can only put so many miles on the car per month. So there is this lady out there, a member, who has a lot of money. I guess she has a castle. Weird. But anyway, she also has a cabin there. I kind of got that it was like a guest house on her property or something. But they got special permission to set up stuff out there for a couple days at a time and then just stay in this lady's cabin so they don't have to run back and forth and put miles on the car that they aren't able to in the first place. I just thought that was really cool. Really, I don't know what else to write about. It was just good to hear her and talk with her and laugh with her. She sounds so happy. So that is my update for now. I will continue to update, even if I am the only one who reads this blog. Ha ha. Take care and say a little prayer for the missionaries out there.

UPDATE!!

2009-04-27T23:42:00.000-07:00

Well, I got a letter from Sister Wilcox today. She seems like she is doing well and staying upbeat. Her one complaint was that since the weather is getting warm the mosquitoes are coming out and "eating them alive!" So, hopefully no west nile for her. And hopefully no swine flu either. That would be yucky. So keep her in your thoughts and prayers and I will keep updating.

Mississippi here she comes

2009-04-08T10:13:00.000-07:00

Well, Tavia is off to Jackson Mississippi!! She called this morning from the airport to say she was off and she sounded so good. Already she has that awesome spirit and clam contentedness about her. Ok, I don't know if that was actually a word or if I spelled it right but you get the idea. It was great to get to talk to her. She said she feels ready to get out there and start teaching. She was telling me about this awesome teacher she had there when the phone started to die, so we had to cut the conversation a little short. It will be exciting to get to talk to her on mother's day and see how she is doing. Before she got off the phone we promised to write and said our I love yous. I'm totally excited for her!!!

Time for an update

2009-03-24T21:59:00.000-07:00

Just a short update on Tav. She will have been in the MTC one week tomorrow. Mom and Dad got a letter from her and mom says she seems to be upbeat and in good spirits. Her and her companion got lost one day but I don't know all the details, mom was just summarizing the letter for me. She wrote that we can now start the count down and she will be home before we know it. I hope to get a letter soon , but it is good that she is at least making sure to write to Mom and Dad. I will continue to update when I hear more. Until then remember to keep Sister Wilcox, and all the missionaries, in your thoughts and prayers. We love you Whit!!!

...................

2009-03-24T00:05:00.000-07:00

HA!!! I was just on my blog going through and reading those of my family and friends. Well, they are in alphabetical order so of course Whit's is at the bottom. I clicked the link wondering what she might have written and then realized, as the picture of dad popped up that she hadn't. It will be me writing here for the next 18 months. Wow. That was kind of sad. It is going to be hard for all of us to get use to her being gone. Even when she was in Texas we could at least call her, text her or whatever to communicate with her whenever we had the inclination. I am so excited to have a missionary to write to again. I love to see how they grow and progress through letters. But life without one of my sister's readily available is going to be hard. Also, I know mom and dad are having a bitter sweet realization of all of this as well. Wish us all luck. And send some prayers in the direction of Sister Wilcox and her family if you could. We could all use the extra lift. Thanks all. Hopefully I'll be back soon with an update from Whit and maybe even pictures.

Pictures!

So long Sister Wilcox

2009-03-18T16:39:00.000-07:00

Today We all took Tavia to the MTC, (Missionary Training Center) and said good bye for a while. I (Shay) was so nervous for her. But it was very cool Yes we all cried when we had to say goodbye, but there is also a lot of joy about letting her go. Last night when she was set apart it was such a neat experience. She received many promised blessings for her choice to serve The Lord. We are all so proud of Whit, (AKA-Tavia), and can't wait to hear about her first day as a missionary. I will continue to keep everyone posted. And as soon as I can find out her passwords I will put her address on Facebook so that everyone can keep in touch with our Missionary!!! I will also be posting pictures soon so keep an eye out.

-Shay

Mwahahahaha!!

2009-03-12T10:14:00.000-07:00

Whitney made it very clear that she DID NOT want me writing on here until she left. But I've noticed her slacking and I have some pictures that I would like to post for her. Hope you're not too upset Whit. These pictures are of the day she went through the temple. What a delightful day it was.

I also found these pics of the night she got her call. Thought I'd share them as well.

Good luck out there Whit!! (Or Tavia for those of you who know her as such. LOL)

Home again, Home again....

2008-11-23T11:19:00.000-08:00

So about two weeks ago I decided I am going to move back home. Things have been too crazy trying to work my work schedule out to get home to get things done for my mission. I gave my two weeks notice at work and I will be moving home this Friday.
Its really weird to me because I was thinking about it and I have not lived at home since I graduated and that was 3 years ago.... I really hope things go well and that I don't get too many rules when I move back in. Its really hard living on your own for so long with no rules then going back and having them again.
So if all goes well I will be able to turn my papers in the next few weeks! I am getting more and more excited to go on a mission.
Well next time I write on here it will be from my good ol' home in Grantsville :-) talk to you all soon.

Just another day....

2008-11-11T13:26:00.000-08:00

Well I hear that some people want me to write on here. So I decided to lol. Well not much is new with me I don't have much of a life right now as im getting ready for my mission but I try. I just got my wisdome teeth out on the 4th of November and that was the last thing I had to do for my papers so I turned everything into my bishop now just have to meet with the stake pres. I am getting pretty excited! Um... Well thats all I can think of to write. Oh I just bought two new cd's :-) they are Second Hand Serenade and Pink

They are really good! You should listen to them! Well thats all. Thanks guys!

Happy Birthday!

2008-11-03T12:47:00.000-08:00

Its my 21st birthday today! Yay! If anyone would like me to get them alcohol that is 21 let me know lol. Also yesterday I went to my bishop in Grantsville and turned my mission paper stuff into him! So thy are all ready to go woo hoo! I am pretty excited! Well Happy Birthday to me and have a good day to all of you!

Mission Update!

2008-10-08T09:15:00.000-07:00

So this last week I got my Dentist and Doctor appointments set up....So that means...After the 21st of October I can officially turn my Mission papers in! The closer things get the more excited I get! So many people ask me where I wanna go and I had no clue but lately I really think I wanna go foreign. So what do you all think? Where will I go? You should all leave your guesses then when I get my call I will let ya know who wins he he! OK well that's all. I will keep updating as the process goes along!

Read Me!

2008-09-29T20:28:00.000-07:00

He he now that I got your attention... I think not very many people read my blog...I think you should its fun! But that's what this blog is about. I think if you read my blog at all even if your someone I don't know you should leave a comment and tell me these things about yourself: What is your favorite color? What is your most favorite vacation you have ever been on? Where in the whole world would you go right now if you could?
OK this is a test! So if you read this answer those and then I will be happy again knowing that people still do read my blog!

Aw...the joy of music

2008-09-21T22:05:00.000-07:00

So as everyone knows, I am sure, I love music and I quite enjoy Musicals....So the other day I was watching TV and a commercial came on..."Cats the musical coming to Capitol theater this week. Tickets only $25". Oh my gosh! So since I was little and my cousin gave us the cassette tape of Cats I have loved it. We even have the movie at my home and I love watching it. So heck yes I was gonna buy tickets for it with it only being $25! So that day I text all my friends to see who would like to go with me. My best friend from High School Amy decided she would go with me. So on Thursday Sept. 18, 2008 I went to the musical Cats at the Capitol Theater in Salt Lake City! It was great! It was a very Interactive play...The "cats" came up and down the isles a lot and danced with audience members. The voices where great and the dancing was Amazing! It was so worth the $25! I am very glad I went and saw it...It was a great experience!

New!

2008-09-12T09:15:00.000-07:00

Have a great day and enjoy the warm weather while it lasts.

Sorry yall

2008-09-10T10:20:00.000-07:00

I just don't know what to write. Its very hard for me to figure out things. Like right now my mind is blank. But I figured I at least would write and say i'm sorry for not blogging in a while. Hope all is going well with everyone. I will try to think of something soon to write...

Mission

2008-08-25T18:21:00.000-07:00

So yesterday I went and talked to my Bishop in Grantsville and got everything set up so I could start my mission papers! I got alot of the papers done today. It is all an online process. I am pretty excited! There are a few things I think about here and there that are a little scary but I know a mission will be a great experience. I know it will be an honor to serve my church and get the gospel out to those who need to know about it. I know it has been a blessing in my life to be a member of the Chuch of Jesus Christ of Latter Day saints, and I know it will help other people as they learn about it. I am pretty excited...It will probably be a few months before I get my call but I will let ya'll know where I am going and when. Well thats all.

Emotions

2008-08-14T16:08:00.000-07:00

So today has just been one of those days...Ya know when everything just seems to upsets you!? Well sometimes I hate having emotions...and my family would agree(I am a very emotional person). But its times like today that I realize its good to have emotion and let people know how you feel. But since today I have realized what true friends are... I will always stand by my friends and support them through everything they go through. Its friends that don't do those things that are not worth having as friends. If you have a friends that's always mean to you, expects you to do everything for them but will not do anything for you in return, they are not a good friend! Now a person like my best friend Emily is what makes me realize that its worth having friends! She is the best friend I have ever have. W e have known each other for 2 years and she has always been there to support me through everything. We have had our misunderstandings and little fights but no matter what she stays a true and reliable friend! Thank you Emily! and all those who have been there for me my whole life without letting me down. Thanks to all of you that read my blog and deal with my rambling on about true friends or whatever it is I choose to write about that day. Thank you! Love ya'll!

Family friendship's

2008-08-01T20:52:00.001-07:00

So I have been thinking about my family a lot lately and have realized how very grateful I am for them. They are there for me through everything, and I know I can tell them anything without them judging me. Also I appreciate them so much cuz ever since I can remember not only has my family been my family they are also my best friends!

When I went out in the world (Texas, College) I realized that not all families are like that. As a matter of fact a lot of the people I talked to did not get along with there families. So I just wanted my family to know how much they mean to me!

I dunno what I would do without them. We sing together, dance together, laugh together, and even cry together. We have been through good times, hard time,and sad times. But we always stick together. So again thank you guys for being so great. I love you all so much.

Being Blond is Over rated

2008-07-14T11:31:00.000-07:00

So since I have not wrote on here for a while and I really did not know what to write about I decided to tell ya'll that...I changed my hair color and I love it! Well see it was not suppose to be this dark. We where trying to match my natural hair color and we decided on a dark copper brown...Well turns out it is my natural hair color but it needed to be a little lighter. Hehe... Maybe I should listen to my mom since she knows what she is doing. But anyways I love it and I was afraid to not have my blond hair anymore but having dark hair is more fun anyways. Yay for dark hair :-)

Camping!

2008-06-22T15:48:00.000-07:00

So I went camping last night but first I need to tell you my last camping experience before you understand how amazing and exciting this camping trip was for me!

So while I was having my fun times in Texas my friends there invited me and my best friend Emily to go camping with them, and so everyone knows me and Emily are both from Utah so It was weird not camping in the mountains in the first place. But it gets even better, not only where we not camping in the mountains it was a big open field and then we where down in town and asked our friends if they needed us to get anything for up camping and one of the told us to bring charcoal and lighter fluid...So I said why those? and they said to start a fire... yeah they though charcoal and lighter fluid made a fire... I even asked them if they wanted wood and they told us with that stuff you don't need wood. I was so shocked but it was so funny to me that they did not know how to make a fire.

Next they say all they brought to sleep on was a big ol' tarp for everyone! Yeah um... that means bugs crawling all over me and since I was just living in Texas for a few months I did not hall along a sleeping bag or anything and it was cold up there so I ended up sleeping in a car...Which turned out not to be such a great idea after all...It was so cold!

So that is why I absolutely loved this camping trip I just went on. We had people that knew how to camp and start a fire and it was so nice. I love my Texas friends they just have to get the whole camping thing down a little better... those little city slicker. Well that's my shpill today after a long time of nothing so I hope you enjoy.

Tav vs. Whit

2008-05-16T23:23:00.000-07:00

Well Some people call me Tavia and Some call me Whitney... The truth is I have multiple personality disorder.... Ha ha I am totaly kidding! My full name is Tavia Whitney Wilcox Until 8th grade I went by Whitney and starting High School I went by Tavia because there where a ton of Whitney's in my school and so I just thought it would be easier. I love Tavia its such a fun and diff. name! But still a lot of people call me Whitney and I do not mind it at all it just my middle name why would I not like it. So there ya have it the meaning behind my name... Call me whatever ya like I answer to both. Thats all! Hope you all enjoy!

Bucket List

2008-05-12T12:53:00.000-07:00

Have you seen the movie Bucket List? If not let me explain what it is...A bucket list is a list you make of thing you want to do personally in your life. Weather it be Fun, Seriouse, or even crazy! So recently I made my very own bucket list so far it only consistes of 7 things but I think they are pretty good and acheavable. so here they are:
1.Go to NY and see a broadway show
2. Learn how to play guitar
3. Kiss in the rain
4. Find my perfect man
5. Own my very own yellow convertable Mini Cooper
6. Go to Europe before im married
7. Get a VIP backstage pass to my fav. band concert
So now you see what it is I suggest you make one yourself even if you think its silly. Because it will give you things to actually try to accomplish instead of just saying "oh I will maybe do that someday". Do it and see what you can get accomplished. I know im excited to see if I can cross my 7 things off my list. This is your perfect chance to get out there and do what you want so do it!

Its gonna be sad going back to the cold in a week. I am moving back to Utah on the 20th of this month. I am very excited to see my family and friends! Well thats all I have for today.
