July thur Oct 2009

We have been really busy with lots of things going on these last few months. We have had Birthdays, P arties plus Jeff and Sheila living with us for a while while they were getting a house. We went to Snowbird and Idaho for reunions. Then in Sept I went to Aubie wedding and visited with my family. I haven't been feeling well so I decided to get surgery in Jan. I hope it helps me. Sheila and Jeff got into their house about two weeks ago. They are doing great and loving their house. We really loved them living with us and we will miss the kids and them, but they only live 15 minutes away so that is great. We have the wedding coming up for Darren so It all keeps us busy. I need to get on all of it more. I haven't been able to do a lot because of my back so I have a hard time just doing laundry and cooking, Glade has taken over cooking. The little things are so hard to do, I will need lots of help. Everyone helps a lot. I have to rest to much for me. I have been lucky to have good family and friends to help. Laying around a lot gets old. I keep saying count my blessings. I have found being sick is harder than you like, It is hard to think of others when you feel so bad. It consumes you. I am so glad I have the gospel or I could never do it. It helps to put your priorities in the right place. I say helping others makes you think less about your own problems. So I go help others more and it helps.
