A very CRAZY week!

I'm not going to elaborate on my excuse, but those close to me know it has been a week from "(insert your word)" for me!  My life, as I knew it, became to a screeching halt and I was diverted to another course - now, I wish I could say that things are settling down, but really, they are just beginning!  Thank you to my parents for TRUSTING ME and for my family and friends who have rallied around me over the past week and were willing to help whenever possible!  My Dad and I had some good conversation this week and I think my Dad is more supportive of my career choice than he has ever been.  I know my Dad always supported me in my choices, but we've really had the connection this week to know that I was following my Heavenly Father's plan - even though 20+ years ago, I would have never known what was going to happen!  Blessings sometimes takes YEARS to come to light.  Thank you Dad....I love you!

Wish I could be here right now - PEACEFUL and RELAXING!

In good news, Mallory has been elected by her peers to be a SBO (Student Body Officer) for next year!  She's excited!  Her parents were thrilled that they gave her an EARLY birthday present - a cell phone!  She is now able to "TEXT" and "CALL" her mom when she's ready to be picked up from after school events.  Lately she has become a track manager for a special needs student on the school track team!  She's SO good at this!  She accepts people for who they are and loves to be around them!  She's got a good heart!

Gabby is preparing for her summer camps!  Yes, CAMPS!  She's planning to attend 3 different camps this summer!  She earned half the money needed for one camp and is still earning the other half to pay back her mom and dad for "advancing" the rest.  She's a good worker and has done some good jobs to earn some good cash!

Morgan is doing awesome in school!  She's one SMART CHICK!  She knows her stuff and is always learning more than I can remember learning in 3rd grade!

Phebe is getting so funny!  She says the cutest things that make us all laugh!  I'm glad we have her to round out the family for us!  She's looking forward to her birthday week with Mallory and she's hoping for a "training bike with wheels" as she puts it!  We'll see what the birthday girl gets soon enough!

Okay, so back to the crazy week - just include my sweet family in your prayers - that's all I can do for right now!  There have been some tender mercies and moments that will be forever engraved into my heart of experiences of the last week = and I'm sure there will be many more as the days, weeks and months continue.  Thank you in advance for your prayers!
