Life is an Interesting Thing....

Life is very weird for us right now.  Have you ever had a time in your life when you felt like things were going really great and then all of a sudden..... BAM!  Something comes along and helps you remember that you are not in charge of this life whatsoever.  We found out on Friday that my nephew has cancer.  He is 10 years old how does that even happen?!?  Life had been going very well for Jim and I.  Jim just got promoted to a branch manager at work and my job isn't going too shabby either and then this comes along.  My mind has just been running in a million different directions.  My family is still just trying to wrap our head around this.  Today they meet with the oncologist to go over the "game plan," whatever that may be.  It is extremely difficult to watch him and not feel just completely helpless.  I know that Heavenly Father knows what is going on and that he will be there to help us all through this time, especially my nephew.  I will keep everyone posted and PLEASE keep him in your prayers.

Space Shuttle Launch

Here is a video of the space shuttle launch.

In March we decided to go to Orlando for Spring Training for the Atlanta Braves. We had a blast. There is nothing like a little baseball, mixed with a little rain and tornado watches, with a lot of roller coasters and a space shuttle launch to top it all off.

The first night we were there, we went to a Pirate dinner show.  We were all really excited for it.  It ended up being ok.  We were all really tired from our red eye flight that morning.  The next couple of days were filled with baseball and visiting with Aunt Lynn and Uncle Glenn.  We went to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure.  We also went to an AMAZING show called Cirque Du Soleil.  If you ever have a chance to see this show, do it!  

One of coolest things that happened was that we were able to see the space shuttle, Endeavor, launch.  When I say "we" I mean everyone except for me.  I got food poisoning that night and every time I got up to move, it all started again.  I had to sit in the rental van the whole time.  I have to say, I did see a rather large flash of light though.  It was a great trip to get away from the cold weather of Utah and enjoy some much needed r & r.

Ok. So I have been asked by a ton of people why I don't have a blog.  So I am finally starting one.  You would think that I would have already had one because I am obsessed with the internet but hey there is no time like the present.  But I will for sure need some help on what topics to blog about.  So I will add some stuff soon and also put in some pictures too.
