So I know it has been way too long since I have posted anything. At least over 2 years. When we got back from Norway with Brad, my life seemed to be so busy that I just never got the urge to write on the blog, but I shouldn't have waited this long. A lot has happened in those 2 years, let see if I can bring this up to date.
Brad has been home from his mission now 2 years, he did great for the first little while, then (and this is just my perspective ) but once Cameron got home from his mission, he acted like he was back in high school all over again. It made me really sad. He just went down hill from there. All Scott and I could do is pray for him, and we are still praying for him. He has gone to school at UVU and is still going off and on, more off than on. I just pray that he will realize that he needs to have the gospel in his life. He is seeing a sweet young lady Cianna, but I don't know how long it will last. She has now gone back home to Stansberry. I am hoping to print out his blog and make it into a book to give to him for Christmas, and maybe it will spark something in him that he felt on his mission.
Our other sad story is our daughter Lisa, she and Scott divorced in January, and we are still dealing with that, helping her and making sure she has the support that she needs from us, and her siblings.
She has moved to Arizona and is going to school and trying to get a job, and also a rental, for her and the kids. She is strong, but I am sure it is hard, she is not one that likes to ask for help, but we have told her that she is going to need it, and to let us help, until she does get back on her feet, I am just afraid that when she does, we won't see her much. She likes to keep her distance. She is a good mom, and wants the best for her kids. Prayers are an ongoing thing for her also.
Our story is that this year in February, Scott lost his job (again) and we didn't know what to do, we decided to sell the house in American Fork, we contacted Jechelle Secretan,who is a friend and helped us sell the house in Pleasant Grove. We put it up for sale and we sold it in 3 days, to some people from Washington State, the husband a little wacko, but the wife seemed to be nice. It was hard to leave, I ended up quitting my job at Dr. Randall M. Stucki in May, and I went and joined Scott in Arizona, we are living with Jennifer and Rich and their family, along with Lisa and her kids, yes it is crowded, 5 adults and 7 kids. Jenn and Rich put in a swimming pool this past summer, which has been a great escape for the kids, and a good one for us adults.
The kids all started school in July,at least Jenn's kids did and then once Lisa got here in August her kids started, and now they all are on fall break for 2 weeks.
Scott was hired by Brite International in Coolidge in May and I am working for Triton Medical Solutions at AT Still University in the Dental Department, I have a had a rough go of it, it is very fast paced and I have a hard time remembering things. I have already been written up, for not doing things the right way, but I am still working on remembering things, and doing my very best.
Scott and I had our parents pass away this summer, Mom Farnsworth died on July 15 of Alzheimer's, and my dad died unexpectedly on August 2, Jennifer and Rich had been to Utah in June for vacation, and not but a week later we were on the road to Utah 2 more times. Both funerals were good. I will share pictures once I download them to my computer. We miss the kids that are in Utah, but we will see them again, hopefully soon. Brad said that he is going to be here for Thanksgiving and Christmas, which I hope he does.
We have bought a house, but it is being built, and won't be done until probably January the rate that it is going now, we were hoping it would be done to move in by Thanksgiving or Christmas, but they have had a shortage on framers, but as Scott and I went to see it yesterday they had delivered lumber, so let's hope that they will start framing it this week. All we can do is hope. Well so far and I'm not sure but I did pretty good at bringing this up to date, I'm sure I will remember things as they come, and will have to put things in order as they come.
