Friends

I have truly been blessed with the greatest friends in the world. It seems every where I go, the Lord has seen fit to bless me with friends I can trust, turn to in a time of need, and laugh at a great joke with. I have lived in 14 different homes. I have been in 12 different wards. I have been exposed to a lot in what I feel is a short amount of time. There is always someone there, that I feel the Lord has sent just for me. Miracles have occurred to get friends to where I am.

Brandy, Tawnya, Ali, Nelwyn, Amy, Kristin, Jen, Selena, Lizzy, Adrian, Erika, Michal, Courtney, Sara, Shelley, Alicia, Emily, Audrey, Trish, Cheri, Alacey, Sandee, Lisa, Tiffany, Tami, Kristy, Chrystal, Diana, Nikki, Vicki, Brandy, Trina, Kristy, Cameon, Amanda, Camille, Stacy, Jennie, Paige, Reagan, Christi, Rachel, Marissa, Mandy, Mandy, Alissa, Jaime, Kambree, Ashley, Adrian, and these are just a few that have truly touched my life.

Friends come and go, we change, they change, circumstances change, but the important thing is that we are always blessed with people around us that love and support us. I personally have never been more grateful for my friends than I am today. You guys know who you are. I am ever-so-thankful that I've found support in you. Thank you for making me stand tall. Thank you for reminding me on a daily basis that the Lord loves me. Thank you for allowing me to feel like a human being with a purpose here on Earth. Thank you for reassuring me as a mother. Thank you for listening. Thank you for your hugs. Thank you for making me smile. Thank you for the outings. Thank you for stretching me. Thank you for your prayers. Thank you for your words. Thank you for giving me your hearts and for keeping mine safe. I love you. I know our Heavenly Father wants us to be happy. You are proof of that in my life and the lives you touch.

I'd like to end with these words from Elder Henry B. Eyring:

"All of us will be tested. And all of us need true friends to love us, to listen to us, to show us the way, and to testify of truth to us."

Fallon Reese's Blessing

Today our sweet Fallon was blessed by her Daddy. President Reuben Clark and his wife Carol were here, my little sister, Stacey and her husband Jeff were here, along with little Jacob, Ashley and Ben Guercio, along with Ethan, Liddy, and Grant, Steve and Sarah Smith, Cassia, Tammy and Dave Fischer, Katie, Kyle, and Dave's little nephew. It was wonderful to have so many friends here to share our special day with our little Fally Girl. Thanks to my dear friend, Chrystal Bracken for coming over to take family shots!

I was reminded how precious this life is, as my fourth angel was given a name. She received many wonderful blessings, and I look forward to a life of fulfillment for her. I was also reminded of how very blessed I am to have the Priesthood in my home. What a wonderful thing! I am so grateful for a husband that is worthy to perform these sacred ordinances.

My life is filled with so many wonderful blessings, and I am ever-thankful to a loving Father in Heaven who has provided me with them.

Wheeler Farm

Kirby had a school field trip last week to Wheeler Farm. I did not attend, but a dear friend of mine took both of my girls as well as her own two girls!!! From my understanding, it is an animal farm and the kids had a picnic lunch and toured the farm with the preschool. The teacher celebrated the kids birthdays with some birthday treat bags. Kirby was very excited to get hers and has been toting it around for the past week. Enjoy!

Today we went to our city's Easter Egg Hunt. We had a blast. We met up with our neighbors and good friends, the Bracken's. They have two adorable little girls, a sweet three-year-old named Clarissa, and a darling fifteen-month-old named Brenna. Apparently, Herriman is filled with nothing but children 6 and under and all of our kids "found" very few eggs. So, we decided to meet up at Chrystal and Jared's house for an even better Hunt...
