Elder Webb's arrival home

Elder Webb (aka) Wang Zhanglao 汪長老 returned home on October 25th, 2011. He served in the Taiwan Taichung Mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. We welcomed him home with love and great joy in seeing him again. This poster was made by the ward primary. What a nice thing to do for Elder Webb.



Here was our first view of the returned missionary at the airport! He's got a look on his face of excitment, exhaustion, and simply trying to take in such a big change. We are happy to report that Ron is adjusting well and it is great fun to hear him speak Chinese.



Mom and I were able to be at the airport to see our favorite missionary return home.



Toby Rebb was able to come to the airport also. Toby arrived home from his mission from Brazil just the previous week. I think Toby and Ron will do a lot of hanging out... as pseudo companions.



Elder Webb chatting and taking in the moment.



Mom and the last of the Webb missionaries. Ron completes 5 Webb returned missionaries. From start to finish the Webb missionaries have served in Germany, Honduras, South Carolina, Mexico, and Taiwan. What an amazing blessing it has been for our family to have these missionaries serve the Lord for two years.



Suprise! Big J (officially Uncle J) "flew low" all the way from Texas to be here for Ron's arrival. Ron was very suprised to see him. He was there to send him off on his mission and he was there when he returned home.



Here's the returned missionary standing next to some neat Taiwan scrolls that he brought back. Ron is very fluent in both reading and speaking Chinese. It is very impressive to hear him speak such a difficult language. It is also very wonderful to hear about the people he taught and the things he learned on his mission.


Welcome Home Elder Webb!!!

Family Photos Fall 2011

Last week my brother Charlie was kind enough to be our family photographer. He did an amazing job! We absolutely love the photos! Here they are for all of you to enjoy!


These photos where taken on the BYU campus. Our little boy is getting so big and is such a joy in our lives. This is our last semester at BYU and we are trying to enjoy every minute of it before we move on to...... ??? TBA


The colors in Rock Canyon were amazing! It looks almost unreal.... but it's not, I promise. I love how the leaves in this picture has a touch of green in them. It is a gorgeous contrast!


Here is a super cute picture of Jordan and his Mommy. Jordan was trying to get me to eat the leaf. What a precious moment.


Here's another precious moment of Jordan and his Daddy. Jordan loves ducks and had a blast chasing them at the duck pond on BYU campus.


Here is the Murray Family as of Fall 2011. We are happy and so blessed to be sealed together for time and all eternity. Families can be together forever and we plan on making the Murray family one that will last always.

Fall Colors

I love Utah in the Fall! We have been out and about enjoying the many colors that are covering the mountains at this time. It is breath taking! This picture was taken in Provo Canyon.

Here is another one of Provo Canyon. I often think of how my Dad loved Fall in Utah too. This season reminds me of him. I can picture him tromping through the mountains going hunting with his dad and brother.

It is amazing to see the beauty and variety of the leaves. Heavenly Father is an amazing artist!

I hope you are all enjoying this beautiful Fall season where ever you are.

Hunting Efficiency


Here is a video of Preston and Jared (Preston's brother) going hunting yesterday evening October 10th. They had planned to go hunting till Wednesday but amazingly got back that same night after Preston shot himself a deer. Way to go guys on hunting so efficiently! Those Murray boys sure know how to hunt.

Pink Series 13.1 Race

On October 8th I participated in the Pink Series half marathon in Park City. Here is a picture my friend Shauna and I after the race. This was Shauna's first half marathon and she did awesome! Way to go!

Here's a part of the course. The neat thing about this race is that it was a women's only race... no guys aloud. This was a fun atmosphere to be in... girl power right. The race was a breast cancer awareness race. What a good cause and what a good race.

Here is myself and a new found friend of mine finishing the race. We both had severe knees pains early on and unfortunately had to walk the majority of the race. But we got to do it together and it really made for an enjoyable speed walk.

Here I am finished with the race and happy to be so. I was disappointed that I couldn't run most of the race but was proud of myself for deciding to still finish.

I am so grateful for my sweet family's support. Preston and Jordan were there at the finish line to cheer me on. I love them so much and couldn't accomplish so much without them.
