Home for a while

It feels good to go home after being so far away from family.  A lot was going on for a weeks in my family and I'm so happy to have been able to be there.  Mostly good stuff but some bad :(

#1.  A huge part of why I decided to go home, was for my Dad.  He had an accident working one day and badly hurt his finger.  Doctors tried to save it, but in the end, couldnt.  Something about his pain and sadness made it extremely difficult for me to be away.  He is incredibly strong and is able to see that it could have been worse.  But I cant help but imagine how difficult it would be without any part of my body, especially having to do with my hands!  He says the mental struggle is much worse than the pain. My heart aches for him, hopefully my prayers benefit him.

#2.  My baby sister graduated from high school.  I got to watch her give a speech in front of thousands, throw a killer graduation party, and get surprised with graduation gifts (a new car and laptop) ! She has truly accomplished so much in just 17 short years.  She deserves it all!

#3.  I helped Suzie move up to Provo! She got accepted into BYU and had to leave pretty soon after graduation.  It took almost 2 days to get her packed, just cleaning her room took most the time.  Theres really only one way to describe Suzies room. If you've ever seen the show "hoarders", you'd get an idea of how bad it can get hahah I found things like tiny tea sets that she had when she was a baby, 5 of the same exact china bag in different colors, T-shirts that she cant part with so she had cut them up to make "sweet tank tops" as she calls them! I even had to beg her to get rid of shoes that had no matches. Shes a hoarder I tell you! haha We finally got her packed and headed to P-town

Provo will be a more lively place with her there :)

#4.  Baby blessings, dance recitals, birthday parties and seeing the inlaws.  These sorts of events are beginning to be a weekly occurrence in my family, but I wouldnt miss em for anything!  

#5.  Found mine and Nates new apartment for the fall.  It was a rat race but  I got what I wanted :) Im beyond excited to decorate this place.  It has a huge backyard and a washer/dryer, which is quite a luxury for our price range.  Love it!
