So we are finally all set up in the new print shop! It took several days of hard work and many late nights on Chad's part to get the shop all flowing and organized. We are realy excited to get going and hope to begin the first real job on monday! There are so many possibilities with printing and vinyl cutting. We have learned so much and can't wait to get our creative juices flowing! In the meantime I have been frantically trying to get my house in order, going through closets, drawers, under beds etc. to prepare myself for being away during the day. I am planning to come home by the time the kids are out of school so they don't feel my absence as much. I will definately be a transition, but we feel it is the right thing and becuse we are "the boss" we can decide when we work! YEAH!
Hayden decided to break his right wrist right at the growth plate last wednesday while I was serving in the Draper temple open house! I got to my car and checked my phone and had numerous texts, messages and missed calls! He was messing around with Noah and they slipped and fell on the ice outside of Jenny's house and they both landed on his arm. Luckily when we went yesterday to the Fracture Clinic at Primary's they didn't have to do any manipulation before they casted it. And they don't need to do any surgery either. What a blessing for us, the uninsured!! I have been bracing myself for the day when we would have a broken bone...4 boys it was inevitable. I will post pictures soon!
Our dearest beloved friends Mark and Denise Marshall have been going through the process of adopting a sweet baby boy this past year. On Tuesday they were finalized in court and they will be sealing him to them this saturday at the Mt. Timpanogas Temple! We are so thrilled for them as they have waited and prayed for this little boy for so long. It is especially sweet for Chad and I because of the amazing experience we had with our cherished Mallory. We look forward to being there with them in the sealing room and witnessing yet another saving ordinance in the the temple of our God. We are such a blessed people to know who we are and why we are here and that the struggles we face will make us better and stronger to face the next one that comes! I believe we can all make it if we keep the faith and never give up hope !! Love to you all.
