Until We Meet Again!






Crazy how time flies but it has already been six months since we lost Jen's husband, John. I have to tell you that is one of the hardest things you will ever go through to lose someone so young and so close to you. I have also never had such an amazing experience with a death. The peace that we felt when we arrived at Jennifer's house that night and that has continued since has been absolutely amazing. I don't think I have ever learned so many lifelong lessons as I did in that short week. I am so grateful that I have the gospel in my life, especially when stuff like that happens because we know that we will see John again and that he is where he is supposed to be... even though we wanted to be selfish and have him here! Even though Jen has bad days, she is so strong and doing very well. She is going to school to become a phlebotomist and she is also dating an amazing guy! Things have happened fast for her, but she has dealt with them like a champ, she never ceases to amaze me! Life is full of so many surprises but something good always seems to come from them and a lot of good has come already and we can't wait for more!
