Andrea...

My lovely daughter Andrea moved back home a few months ago. I am so happy to have close to home again. Our family is so spread out and I miss them all so much. I wonder if we will all be together again...

Andrea is the one that always made us laugh and still does. She has some pretty fun impressions but is too shy to do them anymore. My favorites were her "Brooklynn" character and a fabulaous impression of the "Crocodile Hunter". She will always be my little "giggle monster"

How Not to Start the New Year...

After our wonderful day at Sky's baptism Eric and Lee wanted to stop by Smith and Edwards. I had never heard of it, but sure lets go while we are in the area, it's in Ogden.
We pull in the parking lot and I open the door and the next thing I know I am on the ground, and in a skirt no less...oh boy what a sight that must have been. I heard myself scream and Lee is telling me to stay put so I don't fall again. So there I am freezing on the cold ice watching people walk by as my husband hurries to help me. I hurt so bad, I completely fell on my right side. Somehow I hit my knee on the tuck and the rest of me twisted right when I fell. It's all a real blur to me...
Well, Lee helps me up and I just want to forget it happened all together. We meet up with Eric, Juanita and Andrea, I am obviously limping. Juanita asks what happened, so we tell them. But I brush it off so as not to spoil anyones fun. Limping along this huge store, don't ask me how big, but it was. So there I am limping along trying not think about the pain in arm, in my leg, my back and so forth....
But it's not working so I leave Lee to find someone to let them know what happened and to fill out an accident report. They were so nice, they took my information and apoligized for what happened to me and hoped that I got better soon.

I told Lee I tought we better go to see the doctor, so off we went. We left the kids there and told them we would call them later. So about another two hour drive home to Orem. Lee hadn't been feeling well and we were both pretty tired so we decided to drive home instead of going to a hospital in Ogden. The problem was that Lee had been doing all the driving all day and I know he was tired. I had planned on taking over after our stop but now I couldn't because of the pain I was in. So my job on the drive home was to keep Lee awake, so I did. Whether it was from my yelps of pain or me poking him evey now and again...
Finally in Orem and to the Hospital, we walked in and the place was crowded. Not a good night for and ER visit. Anyway, three hours later, some poking by the doctor, x-rays, that showed I broke the tip of my collar bone, and a new fashion accessory(sling and brace)we were on our way home.
What a day...

So don't start the new year off falling on the ice and breaking yourself....having a three hour stay at the ER with a ton of sick people....and the following week ending up with the worst stomach flu of your life...Not fun while your already in pain and having a hard time moving around anyway...uuggghhhhh....

What a blessing...

To have shared in such a special day. I am truly touched and moved that Wendy and Malen have such big hearts, and were willing to share this wonderful day with us. It just goes to show me that in this world MIRACLES still happen.
I am blessed...

Thank you Malen, Wendy, Sky and Solee
We love you all so much
