I had an epiphany today while sitting in the oncologist's office. There's so much talk and paraphernalia about finding cures for cancer. There's bitter talk about why Heavenly Father would allow such suffering. I sat there thinking to myself, No. My heart tells me it's not like that at all! ... Think of the communities and families that have come together to love, serve, and mourn with one another.

Our Father in heaven provides opportunities every day for us to keep his commandments, to follow His ultimate example of serving, loving, caring for His spirit children, our spirit brothers and sisters. I get to experience firsthand on a daily basis how beautiful the hearts of mankind really are.

Turn off the news of contentious politics, crime, and adultery for a bit. You'll find a world of compassion. PLEASE ACCEPT MY GRATITUDE to all those who uplift and show me what leading a Christ-like life is really all about. Loads and loads of LOVE!!!

The Only Constant is Change, Right?

Just four days before moving to San Ramon, Eric's company decided to realign territories. He will no longer be managing in San Francisco. Instead, we'll be heading to the coast of CA somewhere between Thousand Oaks and San Luis Obispo. Yep, we get to house hunt all over again. Not to mention, enroll the kids in school, find doctors, turn off and set up utilities, forward mail, register to vote in a new county, etc.... We had so much fun undoing all the work we did to move that I can't wait to do it again so soon! :) Seriously, though, we're excited about the change and are happy that we'll remain closer to family in AZ.

We sure love you all. It was lonely just thinking about moving away and knowing that we weren't going to see you as often.

Stay tuned....
