Life Happens!!

Well, I haven't been keeping up to date on things for a while. I started back to school in August and was so nervous at first. I thought for sure I would be one of the oldest people on campus. Well, there actually were some older ladies in one of my classes so I didn't feel so bad. School has been great and I did great my first semester back. I started this semester in January and it is definately keeping me busy, but will be good. Brody started back to preschool this year and loves his teachers Miss Sandra and Miss Karla.

We had our one year anniversary of celebrating Wayne's life on October 29th. Mom and Dad Bell, Grandma and Grandpa Bell, and Brody and I sent Wayne a special surprise that day. We tied messages to balloons and sent them to him in the sky. We watched them float away and it was so fun for Brody and all of us!! We are going to make it a yearly tradition. We of course celebrated Halloween too. Brody was his favorite....Harry Potter! He is so obsessed with Harry Potter and wants to watch it everyday. He wants to be Ron next year for Halloween.

Christmas was great. We spent it with Beth, Dusty, and the boys again. It was so fun. We of course were spoiled. We had many kind and generous people give us things anonymously. We definately have many earthly angels that I could never fully express my gratitide for. Brody loved all of the great things he was given.

We are grateful for the continual support from all of our loved ones...family and friends!! I couldn't ever imagine accomplishing everything I have this last year without all of your support. I am so grateful for a kind and loving Heavenly Father and Mother that continually make sure we have everything we need. I am so grateful for my brother Jesus Christ and for the love he has for me. For the constant love and support I receive through his atonement and for his understanding of everything I have experienced in this life and everything I will ever experience.

I am grateful for my loving Wayne!! For his amazing example to me and to Brody. For his strength and his willingness to preach the gospel to those that are in the spirit world ready and waiting to be taught the gospel. Life is definately not the same without him, but we have been given the strenght to wait until we are reunited with him!
