I've had an interesting week. Our neighbor was killed in a car accident this week. It's a really sad situation. She has three kids she left behind, the youngest is only 3 months olds. This has really made me think how quickly your life can change in just a day. It made me think about how grateful I am for my family and friends and also worried about loosing any of them. She was not a member and it makes me happy to know we have the gospel to help us understand and get through tough times like this. On a happier note I had my first doctors appointment this week and everything is going well. I'm still super tired but I figure that will probably not stop until all my kids are grown up. Anyway I haven't written anything for a while so this was my attempt. I'm hoping to get pictures on soon of Bear Lake. Well that's all for now.

That's so sad about your neighbor. Is your ward doing anything to help? I can babysit for them. My cousin was in a really bad car accident this week too, he broke his femur, his arm, and something else I can't remember. They have a new baby and now he can't work. It hard to see blessings in the craziness, but they are there. I'm glad your baby is healthy. I can't wait to find out if it's a boy or girl!

Its so easy to loose sight of the blessings in the chaos. Especially the blessing of having healthy crazy kids. (that boss you around all day! =)) I am glad everything is going well with the baby. let me know a day when I can come get Michael so u can take a nap.

Yeah for the new baby! When is your due date again? I just found out about a friend who lost their 15 month old son this week. And then when I read your post, I was a little overwhelmed. I guess what we need to learn from it is that we need to appreciate every moment we have on this earth, and that more than anything we need to rely on the Savior in this life. I too am grateful for family, and for friends like you, who I've had for, gosh....14 years?? Has it been that long? I love you, I love your family, and I love that little morsel growing inside of you. You're the best!

That's awful about your neighbor. I sometimes catch myself thinking of I or Pat were killed prematurely. And about the kids and it's miserable...so to get back to being happy...I'm so excited for you. For me having the first child was more overwhelming then adding the second. As long as you're changing one diaper, you may as well throw in another, no big deal. Love you all
