Not sure exactly how to start this, but the best words that sums up my thoughts are this: THANKS!!!

We are so blessed to have such wonderful friends and family who support us! We truly appreciate all of your prayers, fasting, phone calls, emails, etc. We have been so touched by the different people who have come forward with words of comfort, actions of servce, offers of service, and friendly listening ears. And thank you for putting our name in the temple!! We are so blessed!!

The past few weeks have been crazy. We were supposed to move into our new house, get things set up, and then take off for the surgery. Well, getting our house finished took longer than we thought. We finally got our Certificate of Occupancy today but our loan is still in underwriting which means we will most likely not close on our house before we need to leave. Now, I recognize miracles can happen so we might get a miracle and close tomorrow......but not likely. Luckily our builder said we could move a few things in before we go -- like our bed! (I really want to come home to my own bed!) Craziness I tell ya! BUT, it all works out! At least we will have a home eventually and we feel blessed in that manner.

Sunday evening Keven's Grandpa Martin passed away. We will miss him but are grateful that his suffering is through. Between that and our house craziness it has been a little wild. On the bright side, at least we have had some other things to distract us from our adventure next week.

Thanks again for all your suport, prayers, and love! We truly have felt uplifted and strenghened! Happy Thanksgiving and Happy BYU/UTAH Game!! GO Utes!!
