Great news means busy times for our family.

After almost 10 years of investigating the Church, Blythe's best friend Nikki is being baptized Saturday. One of the first things Nikki believed in was President Hinckley as a prophet. It is almost ironic that she be baptized on the same day of his funeral. When she learned of his passing she cried for over an hour. She will be baptized and then we will all watch the funeral.
What a spiritual day! Nikki asked Blythe and I to speak and Dennis and Shane to assist on the confirmation. We are all thrilled. I have been busy getting my talk ready, framing her one of the "Living Christ" documents, making her a glass block that says "Return with Honor" and other things. It has been nice to be busily engaged in such an event. I contacted some of those who worked with her over the years in YW, the young adult ward, and Institute and they all want to attend. My sister and mother are even coming. Just an example of Nikki's testimony: she has gone to the temple many times and sat in the waiting area while everyone else went in and worked. It didn't matter to her. Just to know she was at such a peaceful place uplifted her. I will update soon. Love to all. TaWanna

What is going on in my life.....

Hello everyone! My life consists of going to work each day, calling Dennis and each one of my children, Mama, and of course Zack! Zack will be two years old Feb. 8th and we are going out to be with him and TaMara and Matt. Can't wait for that! He can talk now and makes his SC grandparents smile every day with his sweet disposition. Around Feb. 24th Dennis and I will be going up to Cape May, New Jersey to Shane's Coast Guard Reserve Graduation. Yep, he did it.....joined the reserves on us. That is fine. He will enjoy it. No marriage prospects though. That is okay too. Blythe moved out in November. That has been weird not to have her around after all these years. We miss all our children, especially Zack! Blythe hopes to graduate this summer or next fall. We hope she does too or we are not going to have any retirement money left! Hope you have enjoyed this little bit of news. Love to all!
