More Moving along

My heart is broken again, as I said in my last post I know life must change for that is the one thing it always does. I knew I would never ever be good at it {change} Well today was a very hard day because today I found out that our daughter and her husband and little family will be moving 8 hours away, that may not seem like alot of miles to many but for me it may as well be 1000. This has been a diffacult month for me and my heart breaking. I can't even think of not seeing my three precious little grandbabies or hearing them call me saying Grandma me see you,I be missin you. Grandma you a real good girl, you my sweetpea. I am so sad, I can't express it in words. I know that for them they feel they need to leave and for their own reasons I understand but for me I am numb. Our world and our economy is changing things for many many peoople and many families are having to make many diffacult choices, I just never thought my little family that we love so much would have to be so spread out. We all said as they were growing up that we would all live in a huge huge house that everyone could fit in well that would be a no I don't think that will happen. I just feel so thankful to my Heavenly Father for allowing me to have such a perfact life with them as they grew how hard it is to let them go. I hope we will all make it through it all. I will pray for my sweet little grandbabies to not be to home sick for me as I will be for them. Till next blog Heartbroken grandma signing off.

Boy so much to say, we had a great visit with Brian and Sara. Wish we could say the same for our travel. Never have very good luck with airlines. Frontier is the last of our escapades with airlines. What started to be a fairly cheap trip ended up costing 1400.00 because when we arrived at the airport 40 min before the flight they said we were late so they would not let us take the flight, come to find out they left with 5 open seats. We were put on standby all day and into the night, they over booked every flight for 3 days. They told us if we got to Denver we would have a better chance to catch a standby seat so we pay 385 to get to Denver and still wait all day not wanting to take a chance on not getting on a flight the next day which they said our chances were slim to none we bought a ticket to Sac on South west for 585 at least we got home so ken could go to work. Sara and Brian made our stay very nice, even though i feel bad because Sara did all the cooking and stuff, Thank you Sara. I can now say that little family we had hoped would stay so close knite together is a bit further now. I never thought time would fly so fast and now they are all grown up and it is time to let them all move on and have their own families. I won't pretend to like it because I miss those good wonderful happy times when they were young,how I love them. My heart is sad and I cry often but it is all ok. I am so very proud of each and everyone of our children they are such wonderful people. We have had a simple life but a blessed one. We are so happy to have the happy times, good times yet simple times and to know we don't need much to be happy as long as we are all together and have each other and the gospel of Jesus Christ. Thank you Brian and Sara for such a wonderful time. We hated to leave you . Hope you will always know just how much I love you my handsome one son. How proud we are of you. and just how hard it is not to see you more often all my love Mom

Another wonderful Sunday

What a beautiful day here in Californaia! In the 70's and sunshine everywhere. If it would stay this way I 'd love it. Happy Birthday to our Sara hope you had a great day on your special day
on Friday. Our thoughts were with you.

I have been doing some geneology and am really enjoying it. Finding some intresting people we are related to. We had a hetic day in my primary class but it was all in all a wonderful sabath day. I am really watching this swine flu stuff carefully and am so greatful we have been doing all we can do to be prepared, still need to do alot more but it take a steady course of a little here and a little there. Please if I can only tell all of you my friends and family PLEASE, get some food and keep your car full and stay home if you are sick don't take it out and about other people.

We had the girls with us this weekend and how nice it is to have them with us, they are so good to us and we love them so muchs, how we miss Brian and Sara. Everyone have a great week.

Busy Week

Boy how fast time flys!!! It seems like we just began March and now it is April half way through
April at that! April 24th is Sara's birthday, Happy Birthday Sara we love you!! Sad we can't be there. Today we heard the news that Sharri's mother inlaw died Ruth Heinrich, wow.
I know she is happy as a clam to be with her hubby Pete, and son Terry. We got so much done today poured cement, got siding for shed, lots of little projects done. Whitney and Amy came and were such a huge help. Thank you so much girls we love you so much. Have a great sabath day!

The Lord knows

Yesterday was a busy day, we got so much done as we planed a trip to the Beautiful Sacramento temple. We have been really trying so hard to go to the temple every week, especially now that Ken can come. As we were just blocks away we were traveling on Madison Blvd. when a guy on a motorcycle went by. Sharri and I began to talk about how glad I was that Ken didn't have a bike anymore and she said Travis would never have one again either. We drove on and when we came to the next light there was that young guy laying in the road, his bike in crumbled pieces you couldn't even tell it was a bike the pieces were so small. It was horriable!! my heart sunk as I began to pray for this young man. We got to the temple and neither Sharri or I could shake the sad awful feeling of seeeing that young man on the street. Sharri and I put him on the prayer rolls of the temple, wondering how to write it so we put the man on a bike hit on madison ave.When we got to the temple we were in line to go into the session when 3 other ladies were talking about the same accident we all had put him on the prayer rolls. The Lord knows everyting and who is doing what. I pray that his family will be comforted at this time, what a sad day for that family. We just never know what tomarrow will bring. How greatful I am to have the true gospel in my life and to know that the Lord loves me and his son also. What a peace and comfort it is to know I will live with my family forever, happy day! Happy day!!

Sabath day

march 29, 2009
What a great sabath day it has been. It is really windy here but otherwise it is a very beautiful day. Today I am so greatful to be a part of Jesus Christ's church that has been restored back to the earth in the last days. I am so thankful to know that God has a body of flesh and blood just like me and that Jesus Christ is his son, that they are two seperate people but one in purpose.
I am thankful for a Prophet just as they had in Bible times which shows that God loves us and hasn't left us alone or stopped talking to us. I am also greatful that I know I lived with him before I came here and sat with him as we talked about what my mission would be, I was so excited to accept my mission and just knew I could do it. So here I am and doing all i can to
please my Heavenly Father and myself, a daily challenge. I love my Heavenly Father and his son I am so thankful for the amazing family for the children we have they are awsome. Thank you, Thank you each one of my kids for the love and service and devotion to me and your dad that you have given, what a blessing all of you are to dad and I. I pray for each one of us to have a wonderful week.

Boy what a great week we had. Our new little jeramiah is so precious and tiny. He is getting a bit of meat on his little body, but still so so cute. Our family has been slowly trying to transform our backyard into a multipurpose yard. We have high hopes to be able to live out of our backyard. We have been planting more fruit trees,besides what is already there. We have planted a wonderful garden next we want some chickens. Our goal is to be as self-sufficiant as possible.

Ken and I love to work in the yard, we love the outdoors. All of the grandkids love to come and help grandma & grandpa and just play and get dirty. Ken is having many blessings come to him as he works really hard to gain a clientel with used parts in his new job with Holt of Ca. The Lord has been so kind and kept Ken in his tender care now bringing people to him now and then instead of Ken having to go and search alone. We are so humbled at his love for us and our family.

It was Brian's birthday this last week and it was the pitts for all of us to be so far away from him.
I must say even though he is married in our hearts he will always be close to us and a part of us.
Still my heart was so sad not to be able to give him a hug and just hang out with him and sara.

Thursday Amy & I went to a big leadership/self empowerment convention at Arco Arena where Micheal Phelps, Colin Powel, Gulini and many more people, it was very good and helped remind me that whatever you put your mind to you can do if you want to. Wow I can't believe it it almost sunday again!! It seems like the weeks just zoom buy anymore. Also there are so many things and people to help that I feel I am not doing enough but I know in the end I am doing all I can right now.

I am really concerned about our country, I feel like this amazing, free, choice land is being slowly taken away. There is more to the picture that meets the eye. Our economy is slowly crashing and our family is working so hard to be prepared. I encourage EVERYONE TO DO ALL YOU CAN TO GET PREPARED FOR THE THINGS THAT ARE COMMING. I suggest ernest prayer and ask what you need to be doing for your family to be prepared. I love my Heavenly Father and he will guide you and be with you if you will only ask and do all you can to keep his commandments. Have a great week.

Our new little Jeramiah with Great Grandma Wright. We love having mom with us, she is such a big help even at 88 years old!!

So precious

A belssing has come

We are so very excite to tell everyone we just had a new baby come to our family, Melissa had Jeramiah last thursday. He is the largest of their 3 sons weighing in at 5lbs 12 oz. and he waited the longest to come here 35 weeks!!! He is amazing and very strong and healthy, we are so very greatfull to Heavenly Father for his tender care of Melissa through this pregancy. It was a busy week with Isiah's birthday, then Jeramiah being born, to finish on the 15th with Melissa's birthday!! Our family is truly blessed and the joy of that and our faith in Jesus Christ is what brings us peace and happiness. Welcome to our family Jeramiah you'll love it, it is the greatest family ever!!!!

Over whelmed

I just want to say that the shape of our economy is very scary!! I at times feel overwhelmed with the awful stuff that is going on aroud me. We pray so much for our leaders that they will come to some sense of reality and do a better job of fixing what is wrong. I don't really like Obama I feel
like there is so much more to all of this and I won't go into that. I just ask and pray for all of you our friends and family to do more to get some food and be spritually strong. That is the only way to not be afraid and to continue to do good. I love you all.

Another Miricle

Hello everyone!! again the Lord has stepped into our lives and performed a miricle and we now have a new job for Ken where he will be able to be home everyday!! We are so very humbled at this new chance to be a complete couple and family. Living away from home and each other has been hard and stressful to say the least. These are trying times and for that reason we must put all of our trust in the Lord and his son Jesus Christ, how we love him.

We are happy to have my sis back living with us she and I get to go to the temple every week and now with ken being home he can come with us it doesn't get much better than that. I just want to say how greatful I am for our children what awsome people they are they don't come any better than they. Thank you for all of your support and concern for me and for your dad in calls and help in many ways. The Lord truly blessed Ken and I with wonderful souls as children.
How we miss Brian with all of our hearts yet how excited we are for he and Sara in the purchase of their 1st home, it is a beautiful home. How we all wish we could be out there to help them move in.

I will say Thank you Heavenly Father for all of our blessings. On to another great day tomarrow!
