Spring comes and so does the snow!

Spring is tough. So hopeful and encouraging and then the snow hits again but we need the moisture.
Last weekend, we attended the Salt Lake City Marathon and visited with Gary's eldest daughter, Camille, and her family. Jerel, her husband, was running in the marathon with his sister, Shannon's, widower. Shannon died of Cystic Fibrosis last year. They were running to bring attention to the disease and raise money for the CF Foundation. It was also absolutely wonderful to see their 4 children, beautiful, handsome and sweet.

When I got home, it was to find Big Mama, an Icelandic Sheep, had given birth to triplets right before we got home. Paige, Millie and Lambchop (future meal). Lots of ewes waiting to have theirs too.

David begins the Crucible on Monday night. The is a 54 hour, very tough test. No sleep, 3 MRE's, 33 tasks in the hills and back terrain of Pendelton. On Thursday, when they come off the mountain, sweaty and dirty, they will receive the honor of being given the Eagle, Globe and Anchor and be fed the Warrior's breakfast.

We leave the evening of the 5th and travel to San Diego to participate in his graduation. I can hardly wait!

Here is a beautiful poem. Enjoy your day!
If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain.
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.

(Emily Dickinson
