52 Blessings Week 8

Well, this week I have to say my blessing was my Faithbooking class that I started at church. Friday night was our first meeting and 13 showed up! Everyone seemed real excited about doing something to keep a legacy of their faith. I'm really excited to see what they come up with and share next month! God is GOOD!

52 Blessings Week 7

My blessing this week is my Aunt Betty. She had a stroke a week and a half ago, and is doing remarkably well. I really love my aunt. She's a lot younger than my dad, and she's a lot of fun. I would really be upset if something happened to her...she's too young! She was in really great spirits when my dad and I went to visit her yesterday. I love family and I love my aunt Betty!

52 Blessings Week 6

In continuation of last week's post (which was just posted a few minutes ago!) I want to recognize the blessing of my cousins. David and Randy are my cousins, but they are much closer to me than cousins...especially David. We are only 9 weeks apart in age, and Randy is 9 years younger. David and I grew up together, and we spent many Christmases etc. together. Even though David lives in Anchorage, AK and Randy lives in Oklahoma, I pray that we will always keep in contact with them and that they will feel apart of our family. I will miss your mom, David and Randy. Even though it was a sad time saying good-bye to her this week, it was great getting to see them and spending time with them. There is nothing more important than family here on earth. I am blessed being close to my aunts, uncles, and cousins, even though we may be separated my many miles.

52 Blessings Week 5

My blessing for this week (which is really last week's since I didn't post one then) is my extended family. My aunt (mom's sister) suddenly became critically ill and was taken to the hospital on Friday, Jan. 30. Sadly, she passed away on Tuesday, Feb. 3, 2009. I was very close to her, she was like a 2nd mother to me. I spent several summers living with her and her family when I was in college earning money at the cannery. I will truly miss my aunt Anita. Thankfully, she is in Heaven rejoicing with the Saints!
