Congratulations to Mom, Sharon, Deby and Andy for surviging the trip we have all longed to take. Taking the Church history tour has always been a dream of mine. It sounds like you had a wonderful time inspite of the bumps bruises and sore muscles from all the walking. I have to give kudos to Sharon, being the healthiest of the bunch, for keeping this group of disabled family going. Even though I know you are handicapped yourself! I guess the biggest award goes to all of you for being able to stay in the same hotel room night after night and still be speaking to each other at the end of the trip. We all know that what happens in Nauvoo - stays in Nauvoo and I really don't want to know all the details. I have heard the spiritual experiences you had and I'm good with that. I'm sure that if you all never take another trip in your life time you are good. I would be too. This month is bitter sweet for me as I prepare to say goodbye to Mishelle and her family as they make their move to Winamucca Nevada. I never thought she would ever move away from here and it has taken some time to get used to. I am excited for the new venture and I know they will be able to do great things there. This is a great opportunity for Kyle and I am happy for them. We hope to be able to visit them once in a while but that means I have to keep working. Thank goodness for modern communication like texting and skyping. The one thing I have learned in this life is that the older we get the more things change. We can never assume things will always be as they are. What I know for sure is this life is flying by - we just have to hang on and enjoy the ride!
