Which side is it again?

How many times have you driven up to the gas pump
and realized your gas tank door was on the opposite side.
I guess I have driven too many rentals or different cars;
our cars are all different. I learned something recently
that helped me. (Who says an old dog can't learn things ?)

On most new cars, there's a little image of a gas pump
next to the fuel gauge on your dashboard .
Next to the pump is an arrow that points to
the side of the car where the fuel door is.
In this case, it's pointing to the left.
Does your car have that? Isn't that cool?
You'll thank me the next time you drive a strange car.

Well, I am back in good old cold Minnesota. I am headed to Marshall tomorrow.
Thanks everyone for helping me, supporting me and loving me back to this point in my recovery.

Easter

It shouldn't be hard to sit very still

And think about Jesus, His cross on the hill

And all that he suffered and did for me

It shouldn't be hard to sit quietly

It shouldn't be hard, even though I am small.

To think about Jesus, not hard at all.

Easter's On It's Way!

Here comes Peter Cottontail, hopping down the Bunny Trail

Hippity Hoppity Easter's on it's way!

It will be a strange Easter with our family being all over the place this year!
No matter where you are I hope you are enjoying Spring and sunshine and happiness.I noticed flowers sprouting from the ground today and budding trees.
(at least here in UT and I'm sure in TN not so sure about MN though?)
It is so wonderful to see everything reborn again and it makes me smile.
It helps remind me of why we really celebrate Easter.

Hope you all get an egg or two to color!

Happy St. Patty's Day!

"May the Wind Be Always At Your Back"

Hope you are all doing the wearing of the green today
Have a pint of green milk on me ;)

Do you have any other lovely Irish sayings?
(the g rated kind lol)

Bionic Woman

Here I am set to explore my the world with my new hip. Fancy that, I have the biggest and the smallest bones in my body replaced, thus a bionic woman! haha. I really want to thank you guys for all the love and support you have given me.

From the big city of Minneapolis what a great hospital bag (I ate the licorice early) The socks were so warm and I've worn them so much! You cheered me with your phone calls and wonderful emails and loving support so far away. -
THANK YOU! Patty and Eric

To the Sweet 4+ messages from Memphis, the checking in on me, worrying about me and
always dealing with my stress levels so well. Also I must say the best broadway version of 'Tomorrow' and 'I am a child of God' sung to me while I was still a bit drugged but I remember that moment so very clearly:) -
THANK YOU! Moore 4+

For all the trips to and from Provo to help me by being there at the hospital with me to get me into surgery, doing laundry, bringing milk shakes and moving me from the hotel (especially dealing with the hotel points crisis in such a wonderful way using that big smile) to Ogden and always those great smiles -
THANK YOU! MaryRose and Adam

Never will I forget the hospitality of you Ogden dwellers who have given up their space for me to recover plus feeding me and keeping me entertained driving me around, checking in on me, visiting me and fielding questions. It meant so much having you there to give me a lymph massage before surgery, and for all the encouragement and understanding (even during the puke night;)-
THANK YOU! Katchie and Jeff

Plus the flowers, food, care and concern shown by Jeff's parents has meant a lot to me and of course if it wasn't for Jill I may have chickened out so- THANK YOU!

Elder Bubba has been so supportive and I know his prayers and encouragement were helping me not back out and for his sweet blessing before he went into the MTC-
THANK YOU! Elder Bubba

To the strong you man in Marshall who has had to be on his own far more than he should but has done it with out complaining and has still kept up seminary and good grades-
THANK YOU! Trey

To the dad who took off work, tried so hard not to give me his cold and got me settled with food and medicine, plus working so hard to get the insurance crisis to work out and supported me so much while he was here
(and is paying the bills;) - THANK YOU! Tracy

Thank you all so much for being such a caring Family,
For the hospital visits, cards and phone calls remember
I love you with all my heart and soul.
Now start training so we can do a 5k walk. ;)

Happy 32nd Bday Val!!!

Happy Birthday Val!

Happy Birthday Val! We hope it's a great one!

Hooray!

Hey I just thought I would let all of you know how great Mom did! We got to see her finally at about 7:30pm. She was a little nauseaed (sp?) but she looked great. Her room number as of last night was 2124 and the phone number to the room is 801-387-2124.

Hope everyone is doing great and their week is going good! Love you all !

A Super Woman

I know this is really bad photoshopping, but I couldn't resist! (It helps if you squint just a little bit) I just wanted to give everyone a chance to put up some positive vibes and cheers for a super woman who's up for battle tomorrow. I know we're all very proud of the courage and the determination she has to undergo this new challenge and I also know we all can't wait for the payoff.

We're all cheering for you Wonder Woman!!
