About Me

Simply Susan - Sweet Love Stories

I’ve always loved telling stories. My favorite is the one where I sent the wrong letter to the right missionary. We were married the next summer. I attended LDS Business College where I earned an Associate’s in Computer Technology and Brigham Young University where I should have majored in English. I live in a small town nestled in the heart of the Appalachians. When I’m not busy writing, I can be found baking cookies, going to the movies, helping with the homework or catching fireflies with my handsome husband and four adorable children.

Slice of life

I'm supposed to be packing/cleaning/painting so of course I got the urge to blog.

Take a look around. Don't you love the new look? Cristina finally finished everything and I love it. Very fun and hip. And once her kids grow up a bit and she's ready for more business I'll shamelessly plug her on this website.

In other news, I took a small drive around part of the farm yesterday with this handsome devil angel.


I guess I've taught him to dream big because he wanted to drive up to where we're going to build our house and map out his future paintball field. I took some pictures along the way and thought you all might like to see where we've moving and just how lucky we are. 


The driveway to grandma's house. I have a feeling this will be walked often. My kids know where the ice cream's at.


Our house will be in those woods you see on the left side of this field. Can I just say there is nothing prettier than a field with freshly bailed hay?

Dos and his wife were at the farm for Memorial Day. Sis-in-law and I took the kiddos for a ride on the Polaris. We drove down to the river bottom, where the Indian Mound is, and the coolest mist was resting on the ground. (Sis-in-law—why didn't we take a picture?) It happens a lot, but it never stops amazing me with it's coolness. My dad always used to say Utah might be Zion, but Virginia is God's country. True dat, Dad. Sis-in-law told me the first time she met Uncle Alvin he told her God made the earth for us, but he made this place for Himself. 

Again, true. 

Anyway, I better get back to work so all this cool future stuff can happen. 

What's going on with you guys this summer?

Your dad was right, Virginia is God's country, i've certainly missed living here for more than a decade. The Hudson Valley is beautiful, most especially in the fall, but there's no place like Virginia!
