special dinner

Kody-Octavio-Oliver
All three boys were diagnosed around the same time, with in months of each other.
our friends the Palmers came into town on Thursday. they had made arrangements to meet up with some other families that had children with the same brain tumor as Ollie (DIPG), that actually lived pretty close to us. so we had dinner together. the Palmers said that they would like us to come with them. while we had a great time meeting the other families, it was such a humbling dinner. all of these children were great. their families were great. it was humbling to be sitting there with four healthy children. when garran and I left, we both said in the car how we needed to count our blessings more often. these boys are all remarkable and special in their own ways. it was truly a privilege to get to meet them and get to know them and their families.

I love the saying "the best thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother". My husband does an amazing job of that. I am truly married to my best friend. We laugh often and try to see the best in every situation, or at least find the humor in it. We have four beautiful children. Cullan (7) Kael (6) Briea (3) and Ayla (2). We are currently living in Illinois while Garran attends Grad School. He is a talented print maker and is enjoying his time here. He has a website if you are interested. www.garrangillespie.com Right now we are living every day to the fullest and trying to have as much fun as possible along the way!!

This explains why I blog so much RIGHT?

“Your journal is your autobiography, so it should be kept carefully. You are unique, and there may be incidents in your experience that are more noble and praiseworthy in their way than those recorded in any other life. …
“What could you do better for your children and your children’s children than to record the story of your life, your triumphs over adversity, your recovery after a fall, your progress when all seemed black, your rejoicing when you had finally achieved?”
Elder Spencer W Kimball!

I need to read this every morning!

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It all works out in the end. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers."

-President Gordon B. Hinckley
