I will miss you Granny J



For those of you who knew my grandma knew what a wonderful woman she was. She had this laugh that made all of us laugh, a smile that made you feel like you were the most important person in the world and a hug that made you feel that no matter what just happened it would be okay. About a month ago my uncle and aunt called to tell my sister and I that Grandma didn't have much longer to live so we packed up and headed to Utah to see her. I will cherish the fact that I was able to see her one more time and to hug her and tell her that I love her. On Friday morning I got a call that she wasn't going to make it and she wanted to talk to all of her grandchildren one last time. So I called her and I couldn't speak and I didn't want to her to hear me crying so I just listened and she told me that she loved me and that she would watch over me and my children ( she even named them one by one) and told me goodbye. Our Heavenly Father gave her an hour of peace to be able to be our granny J and make each and every single one of us special in our own mind and heart. My mom is so sad right now because she is was not there and all I want to do is find a way to make her hurt to stop and show her that we all love her and we support her and my dad and it is okay because one day thanks to the plan of salvation she will be with my grandma again, and they will be laughing and arguing together just like the old times. I am sorry that the world had to loose you Grandma and not everyone will get to love you as rest of us did but I am so happy that you are free of pain and that you and Grandpa are together, and everyone in Heaven is enjoying your love.

September 2008

I know that lately I haven't been able to update as much as I would like to, and hopefully soon I will be able to get Internet to do it, if not I will start making the drive to my father in laws house to update maybe with some pictures too! This past month has been pretty busy, the boys started school so it is just Carter and Chloe at home with me for right now. I will be started work in the next week. I accepted a job at Bio Life it is a plasma donation center. I am not poking people yet, but I can't wait to learn! I will be checking our donors in, taking a blood sample, weighing them, take there blood pressure, heart rate and breath test. I am excited to be in the adult world but I also feel so guilty leaving my two babies.....hopefully I can figure it all out! Jeff is still in limbo waiting to hear from a couple places about a job with them. The kids are still enjoying being here and love there new school, they have made lots of friends and there were amazed that they go to church and school with them. Kobe is in second grade, I know yikes! Cooper is in first! J. Carter just missed the deadline for kindergarten so we are doing home school pre school! I really enjoy that time that we get to sit and work on work books and read together and I love watching him and Chloe color together, Carter gets so mad at her when she just scribble scrabbles! Chloe just stays at home and yes still is naughty! I have to laugh because I read past post and I read that I just say she is naughty and I am sure that you think that I am making things up but until you spend a day or two with her and experience the wrath of Chloe you will understand and now instead of telling everyone to shut up it now is suck it....oh proud of a mother I am.
