April showers and sunshine!


April has been eventful. A couple interesting things have happened...

Merlin's younger brother, Robert was in an ATV accident here with a friend, Lindsey Muir. Robert made it out with some torn ligaments in his thumb, punctured lung, and a couple broken cervical vertebrae(no paralysis), and he'll have a harry potter like scar on his head. He was released from the hospital after being in it for 4 days, which everyone is excited about. He's such a trooper!
It has been a long week for us waiting for new about Lindsey's condition. She came to the hospital unconscious and in very serious condition. The doctors say she's definitely on the uphill. Shes' given thumbs up multiple times and opened her eyes for 5 minutes on Saturday, which is all wonderful news. You can see her current condition updates on facebook page searching for 'Pray for Lindsey Muir'. Please keep her in your prayers and any fasts that you make! Prayer definitely works!


On another note,
we were able to go to a wedding in Arizona for Jared and Anepo Hinton, who Merlin and I both new from Hawaii.
I was finally able to meet the renowned Jon Crockett and Jason Snelson, which was SO thrilling. We went repelling off a 150ft cliff, ate at Carolina's(Mexican yummyness), saw a high school production of into the woods and attended the most amazing, enlightening temple wedding ceremony.
One more thing I guess I haven't really announced, well sort of, but anyways, were having a baby! Were really excited! I'm really glad my nauseousness is over(practically). I'll be really excited once the baby is just finally here! Every baby I see I just wanna grab and snuggle the crap out of it! I'm due Oct 14th and am nearly 15 weeks now. Whoo hoo! were excited!
