Thankful




There are many things in the world I am thankful for, but I am extremely thankful for the power of faithful prayer. I haven't talked about my recent trial in life because I have a hard time admitting weakness. For those of you who don't know my dear sister Lacey was recently diagnosed with a skin melanoma basically skin cancer. Thankfully through the power of faithful prayer and the will of the Lord she has been given a clean bill of health and will be monitored yearly. Anyone who knows Lacey knows that she is the epitome of integrity which is why she is friends with everyone she meets. To me she is always my big sister, the one I looked up to and would do anything for since birth, even if it meant shaving my head. She is the one I have been jealous of my entire life because she was just always better than me. I know I am the luckiest person in the world to have been so close to her all my life and I know I will never even come close to being the person she is but I am so thankful to have someone in my life that has truly always been such an amazing example to me of the person I want to be. Thank you for your positive attitude through this it is the only thing that has kept me functioning properly. I love you so much Lacey thank you for the some of the greatest memories of my life, it seems like all the fun and wonderful memories I have are with you and our family. Thanks to everyone who faithfully prayed on her behalf and thank you Mom and Dad for your positive and faithful attitudes I know that has helped me. I love you!
On a lighter note Connor got his first hair-cut and he looks so old and it is weird for me that he doesn't look like my baby boy but a little man now. These are also pictures of when we went and fed the ducks Connor had to be held after a few minutes because he was ready to go swim with them in the stream he really loved those ducks.
