April Fools

The only joke I did for April Fools was post on Face Book that I was going to eat Healthier and give up sugar and chocolate.

I fooled a few but for those that really know me knew it was a joke.  I can't even imagine giving up chocolate or sugar.  I could cut back on both...but right now in my life.....I don't want to!

Trichelle and her kids went with me to Pleasant Grove to get some dresses for Kimleighel.  A friend was selling her daughters dance dresses and since they were modest and cute I decided to make the trip and get them.  I really enjoyed the drive since I was able to talk to Trichelle.  I like the time I get to visit with my friends and it doesn't happen near enough.  The kids were hungry and so we went for breakfast.  Just being with them all was great.  I loved our morning together.

Larry and I went to the Jazz Game and had a great time.  We left a little early because we were sure that Ivy was going to spend the night...she wasn't here and had decided not to.  Maybe that was good since we got a heart breaking phone call from a good friend.  Our baby had text a few friends saying he wasn't good enough for this life.  I don't think it was an April Fools joke but really wish it would have been.  Neither Larry or I slept very well that night....I cried and prayed a lot.

The girls had decided to get together for a picnic with the cousins but the weather was cold and we got some rain and so we picnicked inside.  It was fun.  I love that the cousins love each other so much.  I also love that the older kids all enjoy each other too.  Family is the best and I'm so happy that my family gets along so well.

Today I received a phone call from the same friend with a plan of action to help me with the situation we have.  This families love and concern is exactly in sync with what Jesus would do.  They are His instruments and we are so thankful.  I would not have known where to turn or what to do.  They knew exactly a course to get me going and had made phone calls ahead to make it even easier.  I am forever grateful for them and will always be.  I feel blessed in spite of the challenge.
