Ooohhh Mandy!



Hopefully you know I'm referring to the song by Barry Manilow.

One of my great-est friends came to visit us in last week. Anth had recruiting up in Utah so it was a perfect time. She flew into San Antonio b/c it's so much cheaper. Her plane was supposed to arrive at 3pm but it was delayed and she didn't get here until 10pm. San Antonio is 2.5 hours away and by the time I received word that she was going to be late I was almost there so there was no-way I was going to turn around and come back later. So I went to the temple distribution center (I would have gone to the temple but I wasn't wearing a dress), Costco, and then read at Barns and Noble for about 3 hours (they have very comfy chairs).

Her trip here was filled with swimming/body surfing in the gulf, a 16 mile bike ride (where we almost died), eating yummy mint brownies and mexican food, bonfires on the beach, ferry rides, and late night talks. It was so much fun having her here, thanks for coming Mandy!!

BIG 27

Anthony turned 27 last Sunday! It was a great day! I'm pretty sure one of his best birthdays ever :)
It's hard having a birthday on a sunday and with all the crazy-ness of the past couple weeks it really might not have been the best one ever. But we got to go to church and the Young Men's Pres told everyone it was his birthday. We got invited over for some really yummy dutch oven and then pretty much invited the ward over for banana cream pie, his favorite. Thanks to the Warner's for great food and letting us invite everyone over and to everyone who helped make it a great day for Anth!

A Beautiful Day

William's viewing and grave-side service were beautiful. It was a perfect day. The purpose of the viewing was for our family and friends to meet our little boy. There was such an amazing feeling of love and support all day long. We can't thank everyone enough for everything. Thank you to everyone who came or wanted to come to the viewing and to everyone who drove up to Laketown. We miss Will so much but know we'll see him again and that he really is in a better place.
