APRIL showers of blessings

I hope I didn't wait too long to post my April blog, meaning I might not remember it very well. Here goes, I was privileged to attend Jarek's honor band concert. I was down in Phoenix for something and was able to be there for that. Tev and her family came up for Easter which was the best Easter in a long time for many reasons which I won't go into but it was awesome. Heidi had her baby and everything went very well for her thanks to many prayers and fasting. Congrats again Heidi.
I attended a funeral of the mom of a good friend of mine from high school. It was sooooo good to see her and catch up. The sad thing is we'll probably not keep in contact just because that's the way life happens. We don't have much in common anymore but we were happy to see one another again and then move on.
I think one of the high lights of the month was when I got to go to Utah to visit Jacob and his family. I caught a ride with a friend of mine and we had a great time traveling. It felt like it took only 3 hours instead of 10 to go there and back. I had a great time visiting, we hiked up to the Y, which was pretty awesome, Jacob took me and the girls to the dinosaur museum while Millie slept since she had to work. We flew kites and went to the library and helped Jacob with his lawn oh and I also played skip-bo with Jacob while we stayed up waiting for Katie and Brandon to pick up Esme. Ellery told me I needed to come up again in the summer so I could go to 7 peaks with her cuz "I would LOVE it so much". She cracks me up. I am so grateful for being able to go see them and have such an enjoyable time and I'm looking forward to going back up in July.
Near the end of the month we went back down to Phoenix.with Quentin and Yesenia so Thad and Quentin could do some name strip sales at some of the fire depts. down there. I felt bad for Yesenia cuz the twins were not happy about traveling and sleeping in a different place. She did not get much sleep, it will be nice when they get a little older and traveling won't be such a problem for them....all of them.
This month of April went by very fast, OR it could be I'm getting old faster and so time seems to fly by at an atomic rate, either way it stinks that time is like a super hero...faster than a speeding bullet. I get made fun of  cuz I wake up so early in the morning because that's suppose to be a sign of getting old, I see why...... a person it grateful for each day you wake up and you're on the down side of your life so you want to take advantage of each light of day. Anyways May will be even busier and shorter since we will be getting ready for Risa's wedding on June 1st. I'm not complaining per say but I feel out of breath sometimes when I try to keep up with "life". I love being with my family and spending time with any of them for any reason. TTFN until next month.
