It's been quite a week for our family. When you stick two families together in a small space you're bound to have times when people lash out. I think it's inevitable. But you get over it, move on, and love each other still. You know that you have to stick together. Things happen and you have to lean on each other.
When my phone went crazy on Thursday morning I was a little concerned about why people seemed so determined to get in touch with me. I was in class and they all knew it. When the message came that Lorinda had been taken to the ER from work I didn't know what to expect. We all felt a myriad of emotions that day. Things are fine now, though, but I think that we all have a renewed sense of love and appreciation.
That whole crazy experience aside, I'm grateful for so many things. I'm grateful that I got to see my brother and sister-in-law this week and that they were here when the whole emergency situation happened. I'm glad that I've been able to get some of my work done for a big school project coming due soon. I'm glad that I was able to renew my temple recommend. I'm grateful for a Sunday that ran pretty smoothly at church, even though the primary natives were a bit restless and we were short a few presidency memebers and teachers. Ah, c'est la vie!
So here we are. It's a new year, two months down and so much has already happened. Can't help but wonder what other unexpected things are in store for us in the months to come.
