Our crazy journey

In this crazy journey called life we have many ups and downs. I love the ups and appreciate the downs. (ok not all the time) This spring/summer has had both. The ups have been fantastic, a new baby girl, surgery went well, Darren is working consistently selling. He moved from San Jose, CA to Las Cruces, NM. There has been better success there and he has been doing great. The downs include, a death, being away from my amazing hubby, and surgery for my baby girl. Yet the blessings that come from the downs are usually pretty great. Presley looks amazing, Darren has a job, and grandpa is with his sweetheart. Plus, there are always lessons learned. I won't go into all that. I just wanted to express my gratitude for my life, trials and all.
So here is a little bit about our summer. My sister in law, Lori came to Utah from Albuquerque to visit for a few weeks. Her visit included Seven Peaks, swimming, lots of barbeques, 2 family reunions, and a funeral. Darren and his brother Aaron and wife Vivian, drove from Las Cruces for the funeral of Darren's grandpa. I was glad I got an extra weekend with him and turns out they stayed a little bit longer and were able to make it to a reunion. Aaron and Darren went back to Las Cruces while Vivian stayed with me and we would meet up with the boys the next week. We followed Lori to Lake Heron in NM where we met up with her hubby Cameron and camped there for the weekend with their trailer and some of their friends who brought jet skis. Lets just say that was a BLAST!! Then we headed back to Albuquerque for a few days with Lori and then made our way to Las Cruces. We have been here for almost a week now and I can't even tell you how nice it is to be with Darren for a period of time longer than a weekend. We are headed back to Utah next weekend to bless Presley.
Darren is extending his time selling this summer. So instead of coming back in August, he will be selling until October. He is hoping to be moved to Albuquerque for the rest of the summer. If that is the case then we will join him there as soon as he gets there and stay with him until he finished out in October.
Okay, so this is kind of a long post and with no pictures. But since I am borrowing my BIL and SIL computer I don't have any pictures to load, I will be posting a lot of the pictures next week when I am home. I hope everyone is having as great a summer as I am!!
