what a week!!!
I have been playing a single mom for the week while my sweet companion was away on a business trip!! Long week!

I realized it is very hard to sleep well all night while he has been away. I guess it has to do with knowing all the responsibility is laying on me. I know I have always loved and needed him, but you never know how much you rely on them in even the most subtle ways until there not here!!

But.....the time of holding the fort down on my own is almost over!! My sweet heart will be home today!!! Yah!!! The kids and I are all anxiously awaiting his arrival!!

Thank Heavens for a good night sleep tonight!! I am so greatful for having such a great husband in my life. I truly can't understand why Heavenly Father has blessed me so much!!

WELCOME HOME SWEETHEART!!!! WELCOME HOME!!!!!

The Blessings that come from Tragedy!!

It has been a VERY interesting week!!
Sadly, Daniel lost his aunt and we had the funeral services this week.

It was so sad to see the heart break of his uncle as he mourned the loss of his sweet companion of 50 years. It was wonerful seeing the comfort that came to them by relaying the gospel message to them. No matter what faith you are, everyones spirit feels the yearning of a life beyond this one where we can all be together again!!

The blessings that came were ones we have needed and wanted for a very long time!!

And that was the reconnecting of family we all shared in!!

It was amazing being in a room full of people and knowing that each and every person was a realitive!!

One can only hope that it is a relationship that will carry on, and not be like those of before you know it and another 20 have gone by!!

Lets remember not to let the time slip by that we can't get back!! Just like the saying goes........IF YOU LOVE THEM TELL THEM!!!

No truer words were ever spoken!!!

sorry it is blurry but such is life. When you think that are things are clean and spotless, life throws you a curve and obscures your view!!

The good thing is that even though it seems blurry you can still see the cleanliness of it!

I am very greatful for the fact that we can keep seeing even if the view is obscured, because i think that helps us keep going.

Kitchen clean, kitchen messy doesn't matter so long as we can all gather there and keep our families strong. Sometimes filling the belly is filling the soul!! In todays world that is more important!!!

Thanks Andi, for being such a good friend, inspiration, and blog mentor!! Your the best!!
