Short Update



Wow - you know it's been awhile since you posted when you can't remember your password to log on!

It's been a few busy weeks.  My brother Jeremy was married to a sweet girl, Mandy, in the Denver Temple.  They planned the wedding and open house around General Conference so that my parents could be there.  Almost the whole family flew to Denver for the Wedding and it was wonderful.  I was already so happy for them, but when my dad walked in the temple wearing white the tears really began to flow.  He was able to perform the marriage and sealing.  What a special moment for our family.   

On a sadder note, a sweet family friend was killed in Ogden last week.  Derek was the boyfriend of our niece.  He was awaiting his mission call that would be coming this week.  He and a friend were hit by a car full of gang members that were fleeing the police in Ogden.  Derek had stayed at our home this summer and our family had fallen in love with him (especially Princess).  He was just a really good kid that you could not help but love.  Our sweet niece is having a difficult time, but is focusing on earning money for her mission sometime next fall.  Our thoughts and prayers are with her and Derek's family.   These things remind you, once again, of the important things in life.

Little bits of truth

Me (to Princess):  "Why are you so cute?"
Princess:  "Because Heavenly Father sent me to you.  He really loves you, so He sent me to you."

Does it get any better than this?
