I have been reading blogs this Christmas break which have really touched my heart, and I realized there is such power in bearing our testimony online. I have had so many things happen in my life since my last post, that it would be insane to try and post them all, but probably the greatest blessing has been being able to send my second son Jordan on a mission to Indianapolis,Indiana. He gave us a scare with his brain tumor, but he had such faith along the way that he would be able to serve. He left in October of 2011 AND has had a wonderful time. We are so proud of him. I received my associates degree in General Studies,and I should have my bachelors in Accounting by the end of 2013. I am not sure if I will graduate in August or December. What a blessing that has been in my life - at times it's a stress, but overall I feel so blessed. We also have three new grandchildren since my last post. Landon Simpson, born on June 10, 2011 - his aunt Alisa's birthday, Kate Hanson, born July 19, 2011 and Adalyn Bitner born October 4, 2012. Rachel will have another little girl in April 2013 which will bring our grandchildren total to TEN! Amazing, what little blessings they are in our lives!

I am now serving in the Primary with all those sweet little spirits so close to Heavenly Father - as the new year approaches, I pray I will find more time for the sacred experiences in life, and the ability to record them!
