We came home from Utah this week. My nephew died last week at 16, he just got his license and went on his first date in February, I'm sure going to miss him. He was my Lagoon buddy, and just started hugging me without pushing me away. He was such a great young man, I've seen him change and grow in the past year or so. I have a testimony of the plan of salvation and know that he is loving his new realm, I'm almost jealous. I have seen my brother and sister (Spencer's side) bear testimony and show the strength they have received through the Lord and prayer, they are an amazing example to me.
We were invited to stay with our friends, the Turpins, in their beautiful home, Kali loved playing with their two girls. We spent most of our time with family, Spence's parents came from Nauvoo and it was the first time in almost 7 years that everyone has been together. It was a big bunch of Torries all in one place, about 45 of us. We were able to go to Costa Vida twice, I had a burrito and a shredded chicken salad, YUMMM!! Spence loved going to Smith and Edwards, a army surplus store and so much more, he spent 2 hours shopping, I couldn't believe it.
This weekend we went to Grassy lake, we got to visit with the Woodruffs and help them with some renos, I have the blisters to prove it. And tonight we had Ryan and Tonya for dinner, it was fun, although I think I am starting to get the flu. I haven't felt like this in a long time. We'll I sure love my family, and I hope I can be a better wife, mother and friend. Thank goodness for general conference and the outpouring of the spirit, I want to be better because of it, I think that's the plan.
