the lastest happenings

it feels so nice to normalize now that tax season is over 
i can't believe what a recluse i was for those last few weeks 
i think... i'm finally starting to act normal in social situations again.
friday night we went to anna's (mr. r's younger sister) final art show.  
she is so talented
her show was compiled of portraits and sam was lucky enough to be showcased
she even captured sam not smiling which is a huge challenge
then after it dumped about 4 inches of snow through the night
we woke up and participated in the MS walk at the gateway
considering that my dad has MS I felt especially happy to be supporting 
I was especially overwhelmed by the generosity of my family and friends
I was proud to raise the most money for the UofU young alumni team
luckily we walked without snow or rain dumping on us


this past couple weeks i've been so grateful to be surrounded by great people
there's a good chance in the future we will be moving where we won't know anyone
sometimes it can get overwhelming having so many family parties and things to do etc... 
(i'm not implying that we are popular, so don't take this the wrong way)
but i'm sorry for ever complaining about it 
i feel so blessed to be surrounded by such great people 
everyone is loving, kind, supportive, fun and great examples 
thank you

Thanks so much for the nice mention. And thanks for coming and Sam for letting me paint you even though you hate not being able to smile! Amanda I'm glad things are a little less stressful, and that you can take care of those things that just get neglected (like our ten loads of laundry I did the other day. I swear clothes are growing from the bottom of our basket...). Love you guys, you're an example of service and of caring about good things. Hope you have a good week
