What a week...

Austin and I attended Uncle Randy's memorial service last Tuesday. What a tribute it was and a great testimony to those who knew him and those who didn't. This was probably the most spiritual funeral service I had ever attended. The gospel was shared; Beautiful music was played and sang; Stories were told, new and old; There was laughter and tears; So many people came, we had to move in more chairs. What an impresssion he made on everyone. As time goes on I learn that life is more about donation than duration.

We have so much to be thankful for. Last Wednesday was Heath's birthday and our 16th wedding anniversary. Also last week, I was hired on as a Paraprofessional in the DHH (Deaf & Hard of Hearing Dept). I love what I am doing and feel that God has truly led me there. What a blessing to work with these kids. If you told me a year ago that I would be doing this, I would have called you crazy. Isn't it funny how life experiences, good and bad, change your perspective on everything?

JOAN'S 60TH BIRTHDAY PARTY
Larry & Joan - What a great night. This was Joan's birthday and all of her family and close friends came to celebrate her. We all love Joan and her gentle and generous spirit. Michelle Miskelley (her daughter-in-law) provided an awesome tribute to her with a wonderful slide show with music, funny quotes and tons of memories of her childhood all the way to the present. I know my Mom was enjoying this night too; a great view from heaven I would say!
