Great Neighbors

I wasn't sure what to do with my half acre yard. There are many trees and tons of bushes. Well tonight the young men in our new ward and all their leaders came over to take care of it! It looks fantastic! Already we feel so loved and accepted!

Mom Cooks

Celebrating the small victories...I cooked dinner tonight! Yes, you heard right! Chicken Tikka Masala. Mmmm, my house smells like jasmine rice. The kids loved it so much they won't mind cereal for dinner the rest of the week! Life is good!

Overcoming Sadness Together

Today I miss my father, and I miss my husband, but hardest of all is watching the tender hearts of my children break all over again as their loss is amplified on this day of fathers. I am constantly amazed by their resilience and strength. I am grateful that they let me in as they experience such heartache this day. I wish I could do more to ease their sadness.

Radiation-Almost done!!

My radiation burns are soooo sore tonight. Blisters and peeling and just painful!! But only three more sessions of radiation! I am so excited to be done with my daily 60 mile trips to Idaho Falls for radiation! And also excited for my poor skin to heal up. Who knew when I started that the 6 weeks would actually end? ;-)

Progress

Hallelujah, my closet at the old house is now empty! What a great feeling that is. Tomorrow the garage will be done and then I just have to line up carpet and window cleaners and we will be finished there!! Bittersweet since we love that area and our friends there so much, but it will be nice to focus on getting the new place livable!
