Peace

I am waiting for peace. It has been awhile since I have posted. My life has been so crazy lately. Earlier this month Dan's uncle Ralph died in a house fire. It was a tragic death that could have been avoided. he was such a sweet man. I had the privilege of putting together picture boards of his life for the funeral. I was very grateful that I was able to help out as much as much as I did. A few nights before the funeral Dan's Mom was taken to the ER. She has MS, wheelchair bound and never complains about a thing. She seemed really tired all day then at dinner she just couldn't even eat by herself. Turns out that she had phenomena , a UT infection, and an infection in her blood. She is doing a lot better and is home now. During all of this there were a few misunderstandings within the family. It made me really sad that those feelings were happening in a time like that, this was a time where we should have all been working together. Most of us did really well together and grew closer from it. I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to be so involved and get to know Dan's family even more. While all this was going on Dan is still working nights. I really hate it. I never see him. When I do see him he is so tired he can't even have a conversation. He was really bothered that he wasn't able to be there with his family. I really hope he gets put back onto days soon. I don't know how much more of this crazy schedule I can handle.
Things have been busy at church as well. We had our Ward Conference, my first one that I was involved in, I am second counselor in the Primary. It went really well, turns out that we have a great Primary, I knew that but it is nice to hear that you are doing a good job!
Mom and I are trying to see if you can go to CO again for Abram's blessing. I hope we can. It will be great for all of the grand kids to be together.
What else? Oh the house, we are waiting for the school to get their final building plans done. Then we will talk with them again. Such a long process, I had no idea it would drag on this long! We do have a few house options if we do sell. One of them is to move into Ralph's house. The house needs to be totally redone. It is right behind Dan's parents house. I would like that because then I would be able to take better care of them. We will have to wait and see what happens with that. I think that is all that I know. The kids are doing alright. They are sick right now, no swine flu. They got tested just in case. Some sort of virus, Nora's lungs are really bad and I think they are going to put her on steroids today. Poor girl!
