Catching up and San Diego

It has been too long. I have been meaning to jump on to let everyone know how much you all mean to me and Noah. We owe the world to you, we are so thankful to have family and friends who care so much. I was inspired to see all the pictures of Jen circulating on facebook. It left me wondering how it ever was that I landed such a popular "Hottie". She is now my eternal Hottie. I think my brother in law (Todd) put it best. In his most serious high councilman face, he walked up to me at the viewing and pointed out that Jen had passed the test....he then paused and said, boy you sure better not mess this up. Right on Todd!!! I feel that was good advise and feel the responsibility to carry on with faith. We have such a rich heritage to turn to in order to deal with overcoming adversity. I happened to read a quote from President Kimball about two years ago, I loved it so much that I wrote it at that time in my scriptures and it has continued to help me address Jen's death with hope. He said: "If we say that early death is a calamity, disaster, or tragedy, would it not be saying that mortality is preferable to earlier entrance into the spirit world and to eventual salvation and exaltation? If mortality be the perfect state, then death would be a frustration, but the gospel teaches us there is no tragedy in death, but only in sin". Enough said, all I have to say to that is Amen. On a different note, Noah and I went with the in laws to San Diego. It was alot of fun, I hadn't been there for a couple of years. We stayed in Dean and Joanne's condo, it's ocean front property with a great view. Here are some pic's we took.
