Precious Moments

Nick and I just got word that one of his uncles has suffered a stroke in Guam. He went ahead early to get everything ready for his wife to join him so he was staying in a hotel. When she hadn't heard from him for a day she knew something was wrong. She was able to get ahold of an LDS church and they went to check on him. There was no answer at his room so the hotel finally broke in. Uncle Dave was on the floor. They rushed him to immidiately to the hospital. He suffered a stroke and was probably laying there in the hotel alone for 2 days. He still can't talk and partially paralyzed, but he is alive, which is a miracle.

Since you probably don't know Uncle Dave I will discribe him to you. Amazing. Seriously. He has an amazing testimony and will make you feel like a million bucks just by talking to him. He has so many things to teach and whenever he talks we LISTEN. His wife is the sweetest thing ever. His girls are absolutely beautiful. I'm rambling, just get the idea that they are wonderful people.

The Pruett Family

This whole thing has made me think alot the past couple days. It's made me think about how blessed I am to be healthy. I am blessed that my husband and family is healthy. I am blessed to be ALIVE. I am so greateful for the knowledge that I have that families are eternal and that Heavenly Father really does hear and answer our prayers. I am so loved, and I am so grateful for all the precious moments I don't appreciate enough sometimes.

Brad Paisley Concert

Okay so the story of how I came to get these tickets needs to come first. So ... on Monday I had a long day of work and school I was a tiny bit stressed out. My parents invited us to go get some ice cream with them for family night so after school I hurried home to grab Nick. I called him when I was close to tell him to just run out but he refused. I couldn't understand why but I finally caved and told him I'd run in real quick. Leaving the car running I came bursting through the door, power walked through the kitchen and was just about in the tv room when something caught my eye. I stopped and put my legs in reverse. There was something next to the banana bread I'd wrapped and set on the counter. There was two of them. Movie tickets? So I picked them up and read Brad Paisley with Darius Rucker. Ummmm .... WHAT!? I ran to Nick and gave him a huge-mongus hug and told him thank you thank you thank you as fast as I could. I had been talking about how much fun it would be to go but I didn't know he was actually scheming up a plan to take me. What a babe right?

We went to Kohls in preparation to get us some country shirt shwag so we could fit right in. (pictures in a paragraph or two) Friday seriously couldn't come soon enough. This was my first real country concert and I was stoked, obvi. Eventually Friday did come. I went to work, took my TEAS and got an 81%, came home, and we headed up to USANA. Nick and I drove up early to save seats since we were on the lawn. It was fun to hang out with each other and talk for a few hours before the friends got there. Let me just tell you ... Brad Paisley is uh-ma-zing! Seriously, just like he was on the radio but better. I was so impressed and sang and danced my heart out with Nick and our friends all night. Here are a few pictures and a little video from the concert.

This is Darius Rucker performing

The group :) Kelly and Molly, Nick and I, and Adam and Jess

Is it lame? ...

... that I totally get excited while using these things?

... and that I am stoked about purchasing both of these?

... and that I love when I get to use these?

... and have an addiction to all of the following?

Probably lame, but I don't care! :)
