Good News

So tonight I found out that my oldest brother is getting married. I think its awesome, I have not met his future wife yet, but feel like I know her a little. She has a blog and I have been reading about some of the trials that she has gone through. She seems pretty amazing and I am excited to have four new nieces and nephews. I am so thankful that he has found someone and I hope that he will be happy. We all deserve happiness and someone to love us and love back. I have truly been blessed with my Filipe and I thank my heavenly father each day that he is in my life. He is truly an amazing husband and father and such a good example. He is there for me whenever I need him and I am so thankful to know that he is my eternal companion.
Good luck Mike and Andrea. I wish you all the happiness in the world and cannot wait to come to Utah to share in your celebration.

Can it really already be April

Wow I am so amazed at how fast this year has already flown by. I think its because I am anticipating Kyli's Graduation next month and don't want the time to fly by. Its ironic that when you are anxiously awaiting something time seems to drag on and on and it takes forever for that event to arrive, but when you are wanting time to slow down a bit it just flies. I spent this last weekend with my daughter watching her play softball in Vegas. I just kept thinking that as each game passed it was one game closer to her last high school game. Four years have passed so quickly. I will say that I am truly blessed with four amazing children, and am saddened that my first one will be leaving soon to venture out and begin to discover herself and where she is going. On the other hand I am excited to see where life is going to take her, where she is going to go, who she is going to marry, how many children she will have. I know that there are going to be times she is going to struggle and that I am going to have to let her handle situations, and let her learn from her mistakes and grow, but I am also excited to share the situations that will bring new love, new life and new callings.
I have been struggling a bit with Kelly, he just wants to grow up too soon. He wants things that a 14 year old boy should not want at this stage in his life. He wants to be where Kyli is at and he is not there yet. I just hope that Kelly will slow down a bit and stop and smell the roses, you don't get these years back. It is a curse of time.
Well April, bring us some showers and tell your friend the wind to go away.
