ran out of ideas...

So, I know it's been a while since I've posted anything! One reason for my lack of posts is because, frankly, I ran out of ideas. However, my main reason for stopping was because I felt like it was becoming my venting mechanism. I'd rather stay positive and upbeat. Sure, we have faced tremendous trials over this last year - and we all need moments to vent. But, we have also been extremely blessed! I just don't want the venting to become a habit. So, I took a break.

Recent Events:

Jason and I recently traveled down to Arizona for his brother's wedding. Spencer and Hilary were married on April 16th in the Mesa Arizona Temple. Hilary is amazing - she is stunningly beautiful and one of the sweetest people I've ever met! We are so excited that she is a part of our family.

That same morning, Grandmommy Farnsworth passed away. So, I ended staying in Arizona an extra week to attend the funeral on April 27th. She was diagnosed last August with ovarian cancer, about 3 weeks after we moved to Utah. For me, that was the worst part! It was extremely difficult to be so far away. Thankfully, we have good memories of going over there often for family dinners, or just to visit Grandad and Grandmommy. She will be greatly missed, but our knowledge of the gospel truly comforts and sustains us.

During our visit, we also found out that Holly and Winn (Jason's sister and brother-in-law) are expecting their first baby in November! Congrats, you two, parenthood is so fun!
