Today....

I got hardly any sleep last night (which is often the case) because my babe still thinks he needs to eat every one to three hours (any advice or tips are welcome). We got up extremely early which was fine because I new I needed to be ready for a memorial service we were attending today. So, I got my kids ready. We took Matthew with us and left Jack here with my wonderful sister (thanks again!). Nate picked us up and off we went to Hale Center Theater in SL for a Memorial Concert (aka funeral) for our dear friend's wife. I was so interested to see what it was going to be like. This was no ordinary family (in a good way). Heather Jo England Garrison planned her own "funeral/concert" beautifully....and I have to tell you that my heart was touched and I honestly felt weak because of the intense spirit that was present. I don't wish to go into details, because I truly feel it was a sacred experience. Oddly, one that was cherishable. But I do know that I have seen first hand, true examples of Christ-like love, behavior, purity and charity. Tom, Talitha, Bradford, TT Jo, and Tayland you are amazing and Heather is a blessing forever in your lives and the lives of anyone who new her or heard about her. Our love goes out to you and we are so grateful for your friendship.
