Weekly Tidbits

*While we were gone we learned that our dear friend "Skip" passed away.  I sat in the bathroom and cried.  This is what his cute wife Molly put on Facebook: "Jeff's (Skip Nicholas) official cause of death was cardiac arrest due to an arrhythmia.  This is very different than a heart attack.  He was doing some high interval training and his heart stopped due to an electrical problem in his heart".

I never saw Skip without a smile.  Skip and his family Shine with the Light of Christ in their eyes.  He was ready to meet our Savior but we weren't ready to say Good-Bye.  I pray for his darling family.  They are strong in the Gospel and will get through this but my heart breaks for them all.  

I will never forget Skips comment on one of my profile photo's....he said: 

"Wow...does the bishop know you're just throwing that pic out for everyone to oogle over?"

Seriously made me smile and made my day and life.....Skip is a kind soul!

*My children are so awesome and amazing!  While I was gone they decided that for Mother's Day they would clean out my cluttered hall closet for me.  What a wonderful gift.  I hate cleaning that closet ... it just overwhelms me.  Together they organized it and when I opened the door to it I cried.  I had noticed the clean bathroom as soon as we walked in the house and then the note on the closet door caught my attention.  What a perfect way to say "I love you Mom".  I love coming home to a clean and tidy house and to have that scary closet look so nice was just the best!

A few of the grands gave me gifts for Mother's Day.  I love homemade cards and cute little hand printed gifts.  Truly makes my heart happy!  And Chocolate.....Chocolate is Always Good!
