Trials and blessings

There is one question that always seems to come to my mind. Why do we go through trials. As many may know. I went into emergency surgery last Thursday. It completely caught us off guard. As I have been looking at the situation that we went through, looking at the events that lead to the surgery I can't help but to feel that the Lord was with me the whole time. Yes the surgery was scary and yes it was serious, but coming out of it I have realized that the many people whole helped me in my times of need. Doctors who worked hard to make sure everything went well. Neighbors and family who have helped and are helping me still. Thank you everyone :). Here are a few of the tender mercies that I received during this trial.

1. A couple days before the surgery Devon mentioned that the healing power of the blessing of the sick depends on the faith of the one receiving the blessing. The night before the surgery I received a blessing and so with that in mind I really tried my best to have faith in my Father that everything will turn out okay and it did.What a great Blessing that was and a great testimony builder as well.

2. Devon made it back in time to see me after the surgery. He was in Logan. That totally made my day.

3. Jaylee was watched over the whole weekend by my wonderful mother in law. That was one less worry that day cause I didn't have to worry about her and I could rest like I needed to.

4. Jaylee has been a joy since she has been home. Yeah she is still a 2 year old, but she has been great with the transition of crib to bed. That way I don't have to pick her up to put her in bed. :)
and she has been going to sleep for nap time and bed time. Woot :)

We got a Camera!!

How Exciting is this. Devon surprised me with a camera for graduation. So I was able to take pictures. I am so proud of Devon for all his accomplishments. He has done a great job in school and I am excited for him to continue on with his education.

Jaylee had a rough day with all the graduation stuff. Near the end she just wanted to go play. Luckily grandparents are great for that. I was able to enjoy the whole day and not worry about Jaylee getting restless.

This is Me and Jaylee waiting for the Commencement to start. She did really good at the beginning of our day.

This is a cute picture of her sitting there so good. Didn't last long though. After all she is only 2.
