We have had a crazy, stressful, emotional, tiring, spritual and uplifting couple of weeks. My dear mother in law passed away Tues. the 23rd. We got word there was some complications and she wasn't doing very well and were able to head to Az and spend about 3 days with her before she passed and we will never forget that time we had. It was so wonderful to have our time to say good bye and to see the outpouring of love from people whom she touched in her life. She was so amazing and really blessed many people in her short life. Her services and all the help and support we had in getting things ready for her was witness to that. I hope that when my time comes I will have been able to accomplish as much and touch as many lives as she did. She raised 4 amazing children and they all really pulled together to get things done and be support for eachother. What a special family I am blessed enough to be part of. I love them all SO much and am so grateful for the examples they are in my life.
During all of this with Kristi, we also sold our house which came as a shock since we had forgotten it was even for sale, ha ha! Our listing was about to expire and we had had only 1 person look at it in the last 6 months, well in one week we had about 4 differentn people look at it. Then there was one family that came back and looked at it 4 times, I was going crazy. They made an offer, we countered, they accepted and before we knew it we were in escrow. Then everything with Kristi took place and we had no time or desire to think about the house. That didn't stop things from moving right along though, we finally got home and are getting back in to somewhat of a routine and we have less than 20 DAYS until we close and have to be out of our house. This has been a hard thing for us because we are finally able to sell our house and we dont want to move, we have been here almost 4 years and the kids have alot of friends in the neightboorhood and the school is right down the street and our ward is AMAZING. So why are we doing this you make ask, and we have asked ourselves many times. THe truth is we don't really have a good answer or good reason other than we have tried to sell before when we REALLY needed to and did not have any luck, we are in a different positiion now but things can change so quickly that you never know. I have really felt at peace, as hard as it is and sad, that if this is God's plan for us that things would just sort of fall into place and work out, if not than we were ok with that too. For as much as we having been dealing with lately this process couldn't have gone smoother, we have had no issues, no snags, just smooth sailing. I can't deny the feeling that its the right thing for us, dont know why and we don't even know where we are moving too yet but I just have to trust in God and his will and plan for us. He has never let us down, things haven't always worked out how we hoped but somehow better in the long run. Oh, wish us luck as we figure out where we are moving to in the next 3 weeks.
