Last Wednesday my dad passed away at Provo Hospital. He never woke up from his brain surgery, so we decided it was best to let him go. It's a blessing that he died so soon after we took him off all of the medical equipment, and we know he is now in a better place. Yesterday we went to Delta and had a little gathering with friends & family.

Crazy Few Weeks!

It's been an extremely busy, hectic, and roller-coaster month! This morning my dad had emergency brain surgery. He had an anurism...the Dr. said he's lucky to be alive & that it was caught right in time. The surgery was about 3 hours, and so far he's doing great. Now we just have to wait & see how he progresses. Hopefully there won't be any complications. We're going to visit him in about an hour to see if he's coming out of the anesthesia.

We moved up here on Valentines Day weekend because the weather was suppose to be clear for our big move. But of course it was really cold & snowing on us! What a welcome back to Utah:) I've moved a lot in the past 13 years, so I thought it would be a pretty easy move, but it was a TON of work!!!! It's taken us a couple of weeks to get settled, but we've made good progress. (By the way, my mom is looking for a job if anyone knows of a bookkeeping job nearby:) We love our neighbors, they have all been so kind & helpful. It definitely helps with being homesick...we miss all of our friends & family in Arizona so much!!! But we think we'll really love it here, too!Although my kids are having a little bit of a rough time. They won't admit it, but from the day we moved here, Shaylee all of a sudden has imaginary friends. And Caleb has been acting out a bit. It's a huge adjustment, & I know they'll be fine, it's just been a really hard few weeks. Oh, & to top it all off, the transmission in our truck had to be replaced! It's only 5 years old, and we missed the warranty by 4 months!!!! I guess it can only go up from here?!? Let's hope the next month will be better:)
