A moment worth documenting...

SOoooo instead of waiting to get a hold of Nates computer, which is nearly impossible these days with school, I am going to update without pics just so I can keep my goal of trying harder to be a better blogger!
Nate and I are staying busy, Nate working fulltime and going to school fulltime at ASU to finish his degree and Me working and trying to keep our home life in order and laundry from overtaking my sanity. It seems like day in and day out is pretty routine...except for this past month. Over the last couple of weeks my life has changed and I will forever be grateful to the "family down the street".
We first met the Cochran family 2 years ago, they are our neighbors, I ended up doing her hair on a regular basis and quickly became friends. Joe, her husband, has been a member of the church since he was younger but inactive since he was a teenager, Jenn, never a member nor interested at all...at ALL. Through alot of prayers, fasting, all nighters, and tears...Jenn and their 12 yr old son were baptized by her husband and words cannot describe the spirit that was in the room. I have such a love for this church and am so grateful for the oppurtunity to be a part of this missionary work. Jenn is what I call my Spirit sister, someone who has changed my life for the better, someone that I will always love dearly. The "family down the street", is now family...

so now you have to explain what happened with this 'family down the street'?
i know what you mean about keeping up with blogging. i really dont like to do it, but i dont have time for a hand written journal any longer so when i blog i treat it like i am writing in my journal...so one day i will print out my blog posts and have them to remember everything by.
