Busy July

Well this past month has been a whirlwind for me and my family as at the end of June we decided to go up to Canada and visit family and friends and what was supposed to be a relaxing couple of weeks turned in to a very busy couple of weeks to start with we got up there and had a couple of kind of relaxing days up there as my 96 year old grandmother is trying to die and was in the hospital she can't even walk around any more. And then we went to Waterton Provincial Park for the day with one of my best friends and her kids we threw rocks in the lake got about 5 feet from a deer went to the candy store and had some yummy ice cream I also took my daughter up to to the prince of whales hotel which is a hotel with alot of history for my family as my great grandfather Hall helped build it so I always feel drawn to it when I visit the area. Later that day Kevin's dad offered him a job to come work for his company in lethbridge being a project manager for his company helping put houses to gether. so we told him we would think about it while we were up at my parents. the next day we left for my parents and 6 hours later we got there. The first week went pretty smoothly as we Hung out with my dad and just hung out the kids helped him built a tree house and they had a blast doing that. by the time the weekend came around we were going to have a birthday party for matt so I worked on a cake all week for him which turned out to be bigger then I originally had thought. I made him a cake of the mickey mouse club house it was made out of rice crispier treats it was really good. later that night as we were all sitting around a campfire talking about life 1 boy who is dating my sister asked for my dad's blessing to marry her 3 or four hours later my youngest sister announced to us that she was pregnant and keep in mind this was all in about 3-4 hours of it self all I could think was my poor dad what he must have been going through at that point in time. The next day was Sunday and we all were supposed to sing in church as that was something I love to do especially with my family we had about 20 of us singing the song from efy a few years ago called the duet of army of heleman and sisters in Zion it was great having all the family and future brother in law singing with us it was very complete. the next week went by pretty smoothly as we went to the beach. paid 80$ for a pedicure which was outrageous but it was a thing where we all were getting it done as all the girls got it done at my sisters salon where she works. we left to come home the next Friday and stopped over in cardston to go to the temple to pray about the move. and well we both came out with different feelings he came out with the feeling of yes it is the right thing to do and well I came out with the complete opposite feeling as I was a little scared about the whole thing. but as the month has gone on I have been able to feel more comfortable about the whole thing and from an eternal perspective it is the right thing to do I know that.So at the end of Aug I a will be moving to Canada and my house is going to be on the market till it sells so wish us luck.
