My Grampsie died today. He had been very sick and very uncomfortable for such a long time. While I am happy that he is no longer suffering, I am so sad to have lost him. He was a wonderful, caring, loving, honorable man. My heart aches for my Grandma, who is still with us though I know we will all be reunited and I am so thankful for that.

Today after I heard the news I was crying. Devin asked me what was wrong and I told him. He looked at me and asked me "Wouldn't you be sad if your daddy had to go away for a week and you couldn't see him?" I said yes, I would be sad. He then told me "Well that is how Heavenly Father feels. He missed Grampsie." Of course that made me cry even more. How in the world did I get to be so blessed to raise such a special boy? His faith and knowledge of the gospel amaze me. His relationship with our Savior and Heavenly Father amaze me. I know that having men like Grampsie and Pete and Grandpa Pants in his life have played a great part in him being who he is.

We will miss you, Grampsie. Love you forever, thanks for being my Grandpa.

Anatomical Scan #1

Hello, hello! Well, yesterday was our first {of many} anatomical scans and everything looks good so far. Dr. Hurley said the baby is still small enough that he couldn't see the detail that he looks for, but that there was nothing that stood out to him to raise a cause for concern. We go back for another scan in about 3 1/2 weeks.

On another note--it looks like we are having another BOY!!! The technician said she was pretty certain but because she is newer and our little guy is only 16w6d she didn't want to say 100%. We got a shot of him that pretty much seals his fate though...I don't see how he could possibly be a girl.

Devin came with me for this appointment because he wanted to see the baby, but he was pretty disappointed because the screen was "too fuzzy." He said, "I couldn't see a thing. The TV was too fuzzy!" So instead he entertained himself by playing his Leapster. At one point during the ultrasound he said loudly, "ALIEN INVASION!" and the tech burst out laughing because she thought he was talking about the baby. He quickly told her it was on his game. We are happy we are going to have another wild child to add to our two.

Michael is Engaged?! =(

I heard this last night, validated it with the wonderful internet, and have to admit I felt a teency bit saddened. I just think he can do so much better!!!

Michael, Michael, Michael. I know plenty of single, cute, wonderful women that I would approve of so much more than Nicolette Sheridan! Oh well, you seem happy, which is most important!

New Church Calling

I was released from Beehive Adviser and called to 2nd counselor in the Primary Presidency. While I love my Beehives dearly and will miss teaching them every Sunday and going to Mutual, I am so excited to serve in the Primary. I went yesterday and it was so much fun! It is going to be a ton of work but I am thrilled. Anyone have experience in the Primary? Any advice for me?
