Busy.... Busy... Busy

A quick update on our life. It has been hectic. I had my gall bladder taken out the first of the month, at the same time work was up for recertification from the state. All in all such a bad week to have to take time off! Good news though, was my staff passed. Which is a good sign I am doing my job. The same week I had surgery my brother Alex came to stay with us. I was a little worried that he would add strain to the recovery for me but he was such a huge help! He made me lunch, granted it was only mac n' cheese, he picked things up for me and always gave me a turn to pick a tv show. Which for any 9 year old giving up cartoon network is a big thing, especially him.

Josh also got a new calling, he is now going to be in the Elder's quorum presidency as the secretary. We spent a few days wondering what the stake could want with us, turns out that was it! Josh is really excited for the change and looking forward to the blessings that could come from this.

We both are starting classes up this fall, for Josh it was the plan all along, but for me it is just a little adjustment to the twist in our life. I am excited to be getting back in after my time off! Well wish us luck!! (We'll need it lol)

Oh I'm so so sorry for your loss. I'm just in tears as I have read your blog. My heart is aching for you and your husband and I know the pain and the peace you have felt. I promise it gets better with time and faith. I still miss my little boy like crazy even as I am pregnant with his little brother but I know I will see him again and there is another plan for him and our family. It is just the same with you. Hang in there. Becky Mennear

I'm glad your surgery went well and that life in general seems to be going well for you two. Have fun with school - Tyler and I will both be going this semester, but mine is all on-line. I'm a little nervous about the busy-ness we're going to enter here soon.
