Oh What A Crazy Week...

And we are off again! We are packing up and moving to Sandy, Utah. James couldn't be more excited... he was raised in Sandy & feels like he is going home! And... I am excited for him! We have a crazy next week... In one week I need to finish packing, take the boys to the dentist to finish up some work they have been getting done, check McKay out of school, move, paint the upstairs of our new house, unpack, go to a new ward, check McKay into his new school, keep unpacking.... all in time to leave to go to St. George for Thanksgiving next Tuesday! One week! I have one crazy week! So grateful for all the help we are receiving... many offers for help with the boys & my fabulous cousin, Melissa brought us dinner last night! Thank you! I have to admit with our moves I have been able to spend wonderful time with my cousins. Something I am so grateful for! Miranda - I do love you... but, I really hope that we aren't moving to North Carolina anytime soon! So, we are off... I'll check back in when things have settled a little! I wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Take The Time...

If you have not heard of Stephanie Nielson... you need to take the time to learn of her story. She is a wife & a mother to 4 children who was in a near-fatal airplane crash and burned over 80% of her body. I first heard of her last year shortly after Travis's accident. As I spent days in the ICU with Travis I literally spent hours reading her story & following her recovery... It gave me hope. But, now her fierce love for her family & life humble me. Her honesty amazes me. Take the time... read her account of the accident... it will make you very grateful for life. It will make you look at things in a new way... it will remind you not to take things for granted. Google her... do whatever you have to... But, seriously... take the time.

Here's a link to her blog:
