Now normally I really hate to be home by myself but today wasn't so bad. Dale had to work overtime so that he has a little extra cash when he goes to see his dad this summer so I was left at home by myself. I really enjoyed the quiet today.I got a lot of work done around the house and I love feeling like my old self again. My meds are working wonderfully and I was able to get around the house with very little pain, which is quite a step up from how I have been feeling for the last month. I even got around to doing a little reading and getting dinner pre-prepared.
For some more good news. D.J. is graduating from elementary school tonight. I can't believe how big he really is. I know I have said this a lot this week but I am just amazed at how much he has changed and grown just since we moved here almost 5 years ago. Yes I know it doesn't seem that long ago. It seems like forever ago we moved here and started our lives over in this wonderful state and beautiful town. But its all thanks to the wonderful help we have received from the people of not only this state but also the wonderful people from church who have just brought us in and treated us like family. I just love how connected we all are here. I couldn't have asked for a better ward or church to belong to. I truly believe that without the church and its wonderful members that we would not be doing as well as we are right now. They never had a negative thing to say they just encouraged us to keep pushing forward and that in the end everything would turn out just the way it was suppose to be. I am very thankful for a savior who loves us as much as he does. I understand that he has to test us so that we can prove that we are worthy to rejoin him in the afterlife. I am thankful for the understanding and knowledge that I can have my family with me for eternity despite anything that happens to us here on earth. I cant wait to be together with all my extended family that has already passed on and know that when I get there they will know who I am and I will know them. I guess I sort of just bore my testimony without really trying to but that's how I feel and I'm very proud to say that this is how I feel.
Anyway I am going to go for now cause I need to finish getting dinner ready and get everyone ready to watch my handsome son move onto the next exciting faze in his life. Middle School. Wow hard to believe that hes really ready for this but I know he will do fine.
Wow! I can't believe that he is that old. I still remember the first day we met and how sweet they were. Has it really been 5 years? We are so glad that you and your family came our way and that we have been able to get to know ya'll. You are a great family and our ward has been blessed by gaining you into it. I know the Young Women love you. And so do I. Glad that you are feeling better and more like yourself.
