Mother's Day

Sunday, May 13, 2012

I woke up to the delicious smell of the chunky cinnamon toast casserole cooking down stairs. The sun was shining and I felt so good, especially for Day 3. I got dressed for church and joined my family for breakfast. Ashley had been working all morning setting the table, cutting up strawberries and getting the food ready. It was so appreciated. We all went to Sacrament Meeting together. It was such a gift for me to be there with all my children & Lincoln. Tyler leaves Tuesday to pick up Andrea from Ecuador, Chad flies to Alaska for work next Sunday and then life will be different as Tyler gets married, but for today, we were together as a family and I loved it! I'm grateful for the honor of being a mother and having the experience of loving my children and learning from them. They are incredible young people and I love having them in my life.

This after noon we packed up our things and headed to St. George for a few days to spend on the lake at Sand Hollow. Tyler didn’t come, but the rest of us went. I will just hang out at the condo while Linc and the 3 kids go boating during the day. I’m not allowed to be in the water or in the sun because of my chemo treatments. That’s okay. I imagine I’ll be busy resting and sleeping anyway. At least we will still be together as best as we can.
