President Hinkley dies @ 97...

So It's Sunday night @ about 7:30 California time, and we just barely found out about our sweet prophet and his passing. What a great man he was.  I am sure all of you feel the same way that Skyler and I do. You feel so sad inside because the man was so amazing and we have all grown to love him as if he were one of our own grandparents and it will be hard to not see him again in this life, but at the same time it is so wonderful to know that he is with our Father in heaven and his son Jesus Christ. And he is reunited with his sweetheart Majorie. What a special man he was and he will never be forgotten. He has done wonderful things for our church and our hearts go out to his family and loved ones. I will always remember the many times growing up and hearing his voice speak in conference, he was such an easy speaker to listen to as a child, and I loved listening to his stories and his sweet voice. My heart is full of sadness, but yet joy because I know that he is where is supposed to be now. What a great example he has been to all of us, and I am so thankful for him and for the influence that he has been on my behalf. We love you President Hinkley and we know we will all see you again....

So sad, we just found out! He was such a wonderful Prophet, and man! Like I said to my family though, what a happy moment for him and his wife! He adored her! Ang, you're too cute, and I love your blog, and being able to keep in touch this way! I've tried to post comments before, but for some reason it didn't post...weird! But you guys are such a cute little family, and what beautiful little girls you have! Miss you, and thanks for the little note you wrote! Love you!

Thanksgiving Day...

Thanksgiving has come and gone, and so has my family. We were so blessed to be able to have them come out from Utah to join us (even if it was for 3 short days). We had so much fun just being together and hanging out. Steve made the turkey which was really impressive and the rest of us all pitched in to make the meal a delight. Bette's yams are always one of the favorites of the meal.We also got more aquainted with the WII, especially Sky's g-pa. He was so fun to watch at tennis.. We did miss Kip & Katie who were in Utah and my bro. Robby (who is now devoting his life to delivering christmas packages for Fed Ex..who knows he may just drop something by at your house! I love the holidays and I am so grateful to be able to share it with those I love most!
