We just got back from a great trip to California to visit my family. It was the first time in a long time since my whole family had been together so it was time to take a family picture. Since the last family picture there has been 5 additions. Spencer, Ambers' kids, Gavin, Tatum and Colton, and our Maren. We celebrated a number of birthdays in the months of May, June, and July and enjoyed BBQ's and family dinners. Just how I envisioned it would be and just how it should be. Spencer and I were able to have a date night out to a movie and also to attend the temple. Thank goodness for grandmas! Thanks mom for watching Maren. My dad, the sweetheart he is, made sure we had a car that stays in good condition. The car needed a tune-up and replacements that we would have never known about if it wasn't for the handyman of a dad we have. Thanks dad! Every time I go home to visit I feel grateful for the wonderful family I have been given. Though we are imperfect, life's lessons are invaluable and can teach us a lot if we let them. It always comes back to love as love is a healing agent and will bring us back to what is most important. May we always have love.
