Special Day!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA!!

I wonder what it's like to celebrate your Birthday in heaven. Hmm... Maybe you aren't even aware of it. I do know that even when someone you love passes away that those you leave behind certainly continue to reflect and treasure the day you were born. There are a handful of people that have made a huge impact on my life. My grandma is certainly one of them. She was always such a great source of Joy and light in my life and in so many others. She always wore a smile on her face and was the most selfless person  I have ever known.Since I have become a mother, I  have loved singing the song "You are my Sunshine" to Roxy when I rock her to bed at night. That song always floods my mind with memories of my Grandma and her singing that song to me as a little girl. I know that my Grandma is in a happy place and still continues to pour down her light and love!

                                                                     

Answered Prayers....

Well last night was an adventure we certainly will never forget. After Jake got off work last night, we packed up the truck and trailer we borrowed from one of Jake's coworkers. It started to snow lightly just as we were getting things packed up. We didn't think it was enough to prevent us from heading down to Utah but knew we would take the drive extra slow. about 20 minutes into our drive, we remembered to say our travel prayer and within 5 minutes after that we were sliding on black ice on a bridge headed towards the guard rail that would save our lives. We spun around as we hit the rail and were facing on coming traffic. Everything happened so quickly. I frantically pulled Roxy out of her car seat and got out of the car as soon as it was clear fearing that other cars were going to slide and hit us. Thankfully we were all alright. I didn't feel any sort of harm to our unborn baby as well. We feel extremely humbled and blessed to have gone through such a scary incident together and being able to walk away scratch free. Surprisingly nothing in the trailer or truck broke. We had a handful of glass and it didn't shatter. Of course, we could care less about our things in comparison to our safety but it certainly was an added blessing. I am so grateful for the gospel and in knowing that no matter what were to happen, we would still be O.K. I am so glad that we are sealed for Eternity and no matter what crazy things happen in this life, we will always have each other.

After waiting for the police officer to come and write up a report, we were fortunate enough to still  drive the truck taking the back roads home. We got to see the beautiful Rexburg temple. I was overwhelmed with a sense of peace and comfort.
