changing lives


This week started out with what Chris called "the worst day of his life". I don't think he was exaggerating. If I was in his shoes I would probably call it the worst day of my life. In fact, I have gone through a similar situation and it did change my entire life.

Thursday, my only day off during the week, Chris and I drove down to the bay to visit family and friends. Actually, our intention was to go down there to announce the conception of baby Jensen. It wasn't much of a surprise because apparently my dad reads my blog. Anyways, what we got instead was the surprise of another baby! That's right...I am going to have a little brother or sister and whatever child I have will have an aunt or uncle not even two months younger than itself. That's crazy (but in a good way).

If you're wondering what's up with the ducks, Chris and I went to the duck pond in Fremont. We had fun walking around and looking at all the variety of birds. It was some much needed time alone together; no dog, no teenagers, just the two of us.

This week is called Holy Week. Today is Good Friday and Sunday will be Easter. With everything going on in my life right now I am glad I have the reminder that Christ already shed His blood for my sins. I have the confidence of salvation and the power of my Savior to get through anything that comes my way.
