Miracles

So this past week has been an emotional, physical, and spiritual ride for me. I have continued to battle this cold. Luckily it hasn't been too full blown like Mike has had, but it has been lingering just enough to bring me concern. There were a couple performances where I was sure they would have to have someone sing behind stage for me because my voice was so scratchy. I know that there have been many prayers in my behalf, no more than my own and the Lord has truly helped me the whole way. There were specific songs that I knew I would have been unable to sing without the help of my Father in Heaven. These experiences have truly been faith promoting. So we are 3 performances down and I have 4 to go. I am so anxious to be finished. I think if I didn't have to worry every night about whether or not I would be able to sing that I might relax a little, but then again probably not because I would still HAVE to sing 4 solos and that is still a lot of pressure!:)

I received a WONDERFUL surprise on Thursday. I was excited for my Dad and Dorothy to come out to support me in the show, but when I opened the door for them on Thursday I saw my mom standing there. I had no idea she was going to be coming out and I sure shed a few tears. I know it was really hard for her in many ways to make the trip, but it meant so much to me to have her there. Wow, I am getting teary as I right about it. Good Times. I has been nice for the girls to see their grandparents. I was gone most of the weekend, but the kids were able to spend some time so that was good. Now we can't wait for Grandma Ann, Aunts Melodee and Merilee, and Annadele and Alex to come out this week. It's always nice to see family, and we need to hear all the news from Melodee about her time in China for Matt's wedding. Crazy stuff! Lastly I have to say what an amazing husband I have. I would not be able to do any of the things I've been able too lately without his help and support. He has been so patient and,even though he has been sick himself, he has gone above and beyond to help out with the girls so I can get some rest. We are so excited to get back to a little bit of normalcy in the next few weeks. In a couple weeks we are going to spend our 5 year anniversary at the Temple and Disneyland. Two of the happiest places on earth. (Not that I can compare the two, but Disneyland will be fun.) Couldn't think of better places or people to spend our time with.
