We've always heard that Bad things come in Three's. I'm a firm believer in this, although it should be corrected to Three's or MORE! I'd like to list the craziness of life and this theory but at the same time give you the blessings behind them.

Justin's parents were in a nasty car accident that left their car totalled (a new car). The police officer at the scene stated they were lucky to be alive. Justin's father Dennis was fine not a scratch. However Mom - Linda suffered from a whacked head on the side window, whiplash and lots of bumps and bruises. We are blessed that they are alright. I couldn't help but laugh when Linda told me that when they get a new car she can get new window stickers (family with the soon to be Twins grand babies).

We have a wonderful family in our Ward. The Bruce's. Justin and I Sunday school taught the eldest daughter Kanisha. I have recently been called to be the Secretary of Young Women's in our ward and now have the pleasure of getting to know Kanisha's younger sister. Anywhoo . . . on Sunday their father Paul (who was a wonderful adult Sunday school teacher) was driving home from work the night before when he was hit by a car. He passed away early Monday (the 14th) morning. Justin and I we sad for we loved Bro. Bruce and his family. However we know that he has a higher calling and we hope that we can become closer to the Bruce girls.

I received a call while at work on the work phone from Kaitlin (for those of you who don't know my little sister) stating that my Grandpa Brant was in the hospital and not expected to live thru the evening. This was totally unexpected. And as foretold passed away that evening. Grampa Brant had a blood clot that caused a heart attack and led to him receiving massive brain damage. We will miss grampa so much. I was glad to get to know him better over the last couple years. Justin and I traveled to Seattle Washington to spend sometime with the family and to help comfort Grandma. The services wont be until May 3rd, so hopefully i can update you all with some pictures.

Justin's Mom Linda has been taking care of an elderly lady named Marjorie for many years. She was in her 90's and passed away late in the evening here in Meridian Idaho just 1 hour after of her sister who passed away in Utah. Marjorie is a wonderful lady and has so much waiting for her.
As I said life is CRAZY and Unpredictable. All we can do is count our Blessing and remember that there is something bigger out there and that Heavenly Father has plan's for us that sometimes we don't understand. I LOVE you ALL and am praying for you all. Especially all the families and friends of the above mentioned.
I will update this with more as I know and hopefully be able to show some pictures.
