Surprise!

It seems like that the news is just so sad lately. With the water so high and strong, there have been too many drownings. My mom has a friend who has a two year old boy who just passed away. I also have an aunt who has cancer and is really struggling. She has been sick for quite a while, but as of lately it has been getting drastically worse. My aunt has been in the hospital for weeks now. It is not looking good. At this point she is in so much pain that she would rather pass on, and really, I hope the same for her. With all of this happening, I cannot think how grateful I am for the blessing of eternal families. It is so comforting to know that I am sealed to my husband for all of eternity. I am grateful that I am sealed to my family for all of eternity. I am grateful for the plan of salvation and the blessings that it brings to my life. I am grateful that the lord knows the pain and sorrow that I experience. I am so incredibly grateful for the temple and the blessing that is has brought into mine and my husbands life.

So speaking of eternal families, Drew and I have an announcement. We are going to have a family of our own. I am PREGNANT!!!!!! Can you believe it? Because we sure can't!
