Crazy Couple of Weeks!

Boy oh boy have we ever been busy! Let's start with the fun parts....HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SPENCER on Nov. 17!!! We had a great time celebrating with family and friends although after all that birthday cake I'd be good going without for another year. Of course Spencer asked for a gun so that's what he got as his present and every present coming up for the next year but he is super excited about it and always has to make sure it's still where he put it last and it's still working just right...he is so darling I love it!

We also had the pheasant hunt a few weeks ago so we got up bright and early to be there at first light but it payed off and we had lots of fun together. We love the outdoors! I have to give spence crap for his smile in this pic but he gives me crap for all my layers of clothing and earmuffs along with a hat so we're even :-)

Now for the not so fun news, my Grandpa Dean passed away unexpectedly this last week and will be greatly missed! He was a good man and a wonderful Grandpa! It has been difficult and I can't even imagine what my Grandma must be going through but it makes me so very grateful for the gospel and my knowledge of the Plan of Salvation! It's comforting to know that this isn't the end and we will see him again and he is experiencing an incredible reunion with many loved ones. It also made me extremely grateful to know I am sealed to Spencer for eternity and I will never lose him, he is a good man and has been my rock through this whole ordeal! I also offer my gratitude to all the many friends and neighbors who offered their help and prayers, we couldn't have done it without you so thank you so much on behalf of our entire family!

So yes, it has been a hectic couple of weeks but it's times like these that stregthen us and our relationships. Life is going good and all is well!
