14 Days into 2008

WOW! So much has happened and it is only 14 days into the New Year. I have so much to do, I am behind on my New Year's goals but oh well. Someday I will feel a little more caught up. As some of you might already know. Jacob and I spent the first 12 days of the New Year in Idaho. New Year's Day we received a phone call that my grandfather (my mom's dad) was in the Emergency Room. After much discussion and consideration. Aaron and I decided that Jacob and I would go to Idaho to be with family. It was very hard to leave behind my family for so many days but the outcome couldn't have been better. After only being there for a couple of days, my grandfather was released from the hospital. Although he still has several follow-up appointments with Doctor's things are looking a lot better than when the news arrived New Year's Eve. I am so grateful for the many people who worked hard to make this trip possible. Aaron, friends in Vicksburg, my family and many others prayers on my granfather's and my familiy's behalf. We appreciate it so much. Especially since in a previous blog post, I had mentioned that we are currently remodeling a bathroom. It was a big challenge and stress for Aaron to have to take care of Adan and Mateo, work and remodel. Aaron has done a great job and made a lot of progress. I am so glad he is so resourceful. I am going to include some pictures of my time in Idaho and also include a picture of the bathtub that took a few minor miracles to get installed!! (Thanks to Rob, I was able to come home to visable progress, since Aaron mostly worked on the plumbing the week and a half that I was gone. Installing the bathtub made it so that I could see all the hard work.)
