LIFE IS NOT THE WAY IT'S SUPPOSE TO BE. IT'S THE WAY IT IS. THE WAY YOU COPE WITH IT IS WHAT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE!

Ok so my last post to feel pretty much caught up for now is about something that just happened this past Sunday. I was getting ready for church, and the kids were downstairs with Wes, getting some breakfast. All of a sudden Nathan came running upstairs saying that Wes had fallen on the floor in the kitchen and was having a seizure. I went running down there and Amy was sobbing, and sure enough Wes was in the middle of a seizure. This has been a common occurrence recently, so I knew the drill. The thing that was scary though, was that Wes still felt like he needed to go to church. I kept telling him he was crazy, and to stop pushing himself. If anything, he needed to go to the hospital, not church. But, he insisted. So, I sent the kids off to church with Gene, (our awesome neighbor) and I finished up my lesson, and waited for Wes to get ready. He was trying to tie his tie, and had tried several times apparently. All of a sudden he started sobbing and said that he couldn't remember how to tie his tie. I was scared, but of course I didn't want him to know. I just held him in my arms, and tried to calm him down. He went into the bathroom, and came out a few minutes later and had it tied. I don't know if it was right, but it worked. We went to church, and made it just in time for the sacrament. After the sacrament, they turned the time over for testimonies. Wes leaned over to me and told me that he wanted to go up and bear his, and asked if I could help him walk up to the stand. I thought he was crazy, but he had pushed so hard to get to church, I decided to do this for him. So, we walked slowly up to the stand. He bore an amazing testimony, and had everyone in tears. Right after he was done I took him home, and stayed with him for a little while. I tried to go back to teach my lesson, but I had some really sweet sisters that made me go back home to Wes to take care of him. On the drive home I started sobbing. I have such an AMAZING ward. I am going to have a really hard time leaving it! I feel so right about this move though, and I am just hoping that the next ward will be just as understanding, and just as amazing! I know this church is true, and I know that Heavenly Father hears and answers our prayers. Life doesn't always go the way that we always planned, but if we remain strong and faithful, He will give us the strength to get through anything! I feel His hand in my life so much since we have moved down to St George! I am doing so well in school, which is hard to go full time, and work part time, and be a mom, and take care of a sick husband. I have an amazing job, and already have a job set up for after I graduate! Now we are getting an amazing house for a great price! I have a wonderful family! I couldn't feel more blessed right now!
