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!!!

APRIL

April was an exciting month:

  • Kambria celebrated her 5th birthday. Daddy was in Hawaii at the time, but he was there via telephone singing to her.
  • Easter
  • Leyna celebrated her 1st birthday!
  • April 13-21, we were able to go on a second Caribbean cruise, courtesy of Eric's parents (Joan & Larry). Grandma Boulter and Aunt Heather flew in to watch the kids. This time around, we left from Puerto Rico, then moved onto St. Thomas, St. Kitts, Grenada, Bonaire & Aruba, before returning to Puerto Rico. There's no way to put into words how fun and relaxing it was, so I won't even try. Just know that if you haven't gone on a cruise, you don't know what you're missing. Think second honeymoon, entertainment, fun in the sun, shopping, relaxation. Hmmmm. When can we go again?
