Let me tell you, it was a fabulous decision. As we drove south on I-15 we watched mountains and sky come in to view that we hadn't seen for weeks! St. George was lovely to say the least. We had 50 degree weather and sunny skies. Not to mention it was Thomas' first trip so we were going crazy over every new thing he did. It is so funny when you have your first baby cause everything is so exciting. We would say, "Oh T this is your first time sleeping in your pack n play in the condo!" Lots of first times. Great fun!<br />

I thought I would be better once Thomas came along, but alas. My last post was at Halloween, only one month old! <br />
<br />
Well he has sure changed! He is the most fun little baby we could ever wish for! He is mellow, he's got silly hair, he's full of smiles and giggles, and is quite big!<br />
<br />
Some of his favorite things to do include:<br />
<ul>
<li>Sucking on anything he can get his hands on, including his own fingers and thumb. YUM!</li>
<li>Playing in his "gym" he gets pumped! I sometimes think it looks like he is doing the river dance he gets those legs moving so fast!</li>
<li>Playing airplane with mom or dad</li>
<li>Nibbling at mom and dad's food, and sucking out of mom's water bottle</li>
<li>Being outside and going on walks</li>
</ul>
So now for some of the good stuff! PHOTOS!<br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Today little Thomas is already 3 1/2 weeks old. Here is a picture I took of him this morning. I think he was kind of smiling!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I said I would post more details (and pictures) from Thomas' birth so here goes. I will try to keep the story somewhat brief, but since it was about a 36 hour ordeal I suppose brevity is not on my side. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I will begin by stating that at my weekly doctor appointment on Sept 27 I was not dialating, not effacing, not even feeling any signs that a baby was on its way. We discussed options and even set my induction date for October 11, one week after my due date. I walked out of the appointment thinking I would for sure have our baby on that day.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I didn't feel like I was going to have a baby right away, but I did look like I was!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Flash forward with me now to the next day, Friday Sept 28. We had been to the farmers market at Sugarhouse park with Brad and Missy. We ate tamales for dinner, and sort of got on the Mexican food kick because we went to Rancho Markets to get some more mexican eats. (I only include this cause maybe it is what got Tommy going in there)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Around 11:00 we were watching a movie and I started to get up every 20 min to go to the bathroom. I couldn't believe all the pressure I was feeling. On the way home I started to get some "cramps" that I couldn't really explain to Nate. We went to bed, but I kept getting up and feeling the cramps. By early morning after thumbing through the "labor" booklet from the hospital I decided I was actually in early labor and having contractions! I wanted to wake Nate up, but knew he needed rest if we were going to have our baby that day!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">When Nate did wake up on Sat morning (Sept 29) I told him I was in labor! He jumped out of bed and said, "Oh my, we have much to do, much to do!" After a day of getting the last minute things done, my contractions were increasing, but not enough to go into the hospital. We decided to go for a drive up Big Cottonwood, and a little hike, and then we would go to the hospital to have our baby.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM9RIzjlLLNMiYMHW_lZxYWBa9Epg_YvYQ0JcKYkcqzFK6-IinoYwjag97BctbXe7W30LeITARWY_3bgTaSNLc3Fs5md5_79Ydn48EL0s5zJYAdDipJwkBSliyd6BmxOCH1HK5gT7f_dAU/s1600/10-5-12+094.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM9RIzjlLLNMiYMHW_lZxYWBa9Epg_YvYQ0JcKYkcqzFK6-IinoYwjag97BctbXe7W30LeITARWY_3bgTaSNLc3Fs5md5_79Ydn48EL0s5zJYAdDipJwkBSliyd6BmxOCH1HK5gT7f_dAU/s320/10-5-12+094.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Good plan right? Well to no avail. He was still not ready to come, but the contractions were not letting up. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">After a late night trip to the hospital, we were sent home about 3 hours later with a shot of morphine for the pain and only dialated to a 1. Despite being totally drugged, I continued to feel my contractions and lost yet another night of sleep. Boy, to say my patience was wearing thin was an understatement. I tried to let Nate sleep though, knowing he would need his sleep if we were going to have our baby that day. I stayed up thinking about all of the ways I could try and get the baby out. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">On Sunday morning,Sept 30, around 8, I at my wits end, and Nate feeling so sympathetic got back in the car, with our packed bags, and headed to the hospital. We were praying I had progressed enough to stay and get the baby out!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Good news, after being checked I was at a 4! I could stay, get my epidural, relax, and have a baby. Thank goodness. After the epidural, little Tommy decided to pick things up and I began to dialate fast. Around 12 I told Nate to call the nurse in cause I wanted to start pushing. She came in and sure enough I was ready! Pushing was my favorite, I could totally feel it and it motivated my to work hard!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">What a miracle when little Thomas came out. Nate and I just couldn't get over how cute he was, and that he was ours!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The time in the hospital was so great. Nate and I felt like we were on cloud 9. We spent the days just holding him, and looking at him. Nate became a master diaper changer and swaddler right from the get go. When it came time to leave the hospital we were both a little sad because it meant that it was all over his anticipated arrival had happened and he was already 2 days old! </span></div>

It has been a pretty good road up to this point. My protruding belly makes life more interesting. I love to hear all of the theories, opinions, advice people tell me. Really, it is great! I have tried to remember a lot of them:<br />
<ul>
<li>Boys always love their mommas more</li>
<li>You get a lot bigger when you are having a boy</li>
<li>"Oh, you must be having a boy because you are smaller"</li>
<li>Boy babies are more cuddly </li>
<li>Boys are more active they are always into EVERYTHING</li>
<li>You have that pregnant glow about you (I was thinking it must be the thin layer of sweat)</li>
<li>"I didn't even know you were pregnant" (at 30 weeks) I guess that person was never looking at me before</li>
<li>"Wow, you aren't due till October, you have a long way to go" (at 29 weeks)</li>
<li>"You are big and not very far along (about 24 weeks) have you been eating too many sweets?"</li>
<li> "Why can't you have a girl baby in your tummy?"said Elsie and Addie, multiple times</li>
<li>"Your baby has a beautiful heartbeat" says my doctor at every appointment, how reassuring</li>
</ul>
I have been very lucky so far to enjoy good health and energy. I am so glad I took up swimming about a year ago because I have been able to go a lot the last 7 months. Being in the water helps keep me cool and I don't even feel big, plus it may help "Joey" be more buoyant. As far as eating I have a big appetite in the morning and can usually eat three breakfasts, but by night it is hard to think about eating dinner food. I feel like I am on a breakfast kick all day! <br />

<br />Nate came home from work yesterday and went into joey's room/office to put some stuff down. As he did he said, "His crib is in here, but he is not! I can't wait for him to be in here! I will throw him up in the air, but not too high because I don't want to scare him."</div>

It has been a fantastic summer so far. I even think Nate has gotten a taste of summer here and there (he was worried he would miss it completely because he is working full time...you know that whole adult life thing). He was explaining to me the other day that there are 5 main rituals of summer.<br />
#1 Go to a Baseball Game<br />
#2 Float down the Provo river in inner tubes<br />
#3 Visit his family cabin in the Uintahs<br />
#4 BBQs<br />
#5 Sno Cones<br />
It is a pretty good list although I would have to add a day at Lagoon (which is out this summer, oh well), lots of fun hikes, and boating and swimming<br />
<br />
We have done everything on Nate's ritual list, and most everything on mine and we still have about a month to pack more in! <br />
<br />
Summer seemed to kick off with Ragnar. Nate was the captain for the second year now of the Live Rich team. I got to go along and support for a lot of the race, and the team was amazing!<br />

Isn't this great...I never thought I would see my brother AND sister running. Let alone a crazy race like Ragnar, and I didn't even do it with them. How's the timing! It was so great to watch both of them, they were so great. Clark has even committed to come back out next year!</div>

Kid's Rodeo- where the kids do the events. Some of our nieces and nephews rode the sheep. The announcer would announce each kid before he/she came out of the shoot on the sheep. He would say there name and where they were from. Some of these kids are born cowboys from WY or ID. Lets just say there were a lot of tears from the Salt Lake cowboys and girls, but a good showing nonetheless</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well as we drove out of Logan last month (I know I am wayyy behind) to walk in our respective graduations I thought how crazy it is that we are now officially alumni of Utah State. We have exited the "college" stage of our lives. Going to college was not only about the school and the degree, but really about life lessons and experiences. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We couldn't pass up the chance to go up to Logan and participate in the revelry that is Graduation. So we both be walked and took pictures, and reminisced about all of our favorite and memorable places.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We don't have one of those photo montages with music to display some of the memories from Logan, so bear with me as I post some of the pictures from the past 5 years. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">After 7 great months at the Davis residence, Nate and I broke down and found an apartment! It is one of those "don't judge the book by it's cover" type of places. The inside was renovated right before we moved in and it is located in a safe/happy Sugarhouse neighborhood! We are totally excited to be here.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">We are going to be Parents!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Yep you heard it right, come October 5ish we will be having a baby! If your like me and haven't done the math in your head yet, that puts me 18 weeks along! On May 15 we will be finding out the gender of the baby, and I will be about half-way along! It really seems to be flying by. I have felt pretty good for the most part. It has been so fun to plan, prepare, and talk about the changes that will be coming for us. Nate and I are really excited to be parents and feel really blessed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">So, if you have any advice, tips, whatever, we welcome any help we can get!</span>Dani and Nate Lloydhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09595741267745466073noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4133115170470121739.post-1674405475814036772012-03-26T17:11:00.002-04:002012-03-26T17:29:57.047-04:00Spring Break to Middle America<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Even though Nate and I are not students anymore we figured we needed a Spring Break!

They made great BBQs! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">In planning with Al and Pete we decided to take advantage of being in the Midwest to see some of the church history sites so we rented a van and drove through Missouri and Kansas on Saturday!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8zot8I0xAOc/T3DSStQcxTI/AAAAAAAABDY/KYwwTksBAMc/s1600/P2260089.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8zot8I0xAOc/T3DSStQcxTI/AAAAAAAABDY/KYwwTksBAMc/s320/P2260089.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Adam-Ondi-Ahman was one of our favorite sites. It is so beautiful there. In the car we read about the significance of this place and the history of the people who have set foot here. Nate said it was the best because of its "historical significance, present importance, and future promise" or something profound like that...</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DVSD0M_xljk/T3DSW6uZtSI/AAAAAAAABEA/60ng2LlMXzE/s1600/P2260094.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DVSD0M_xljk/T3DSW6uZtSI/AAAAAAAABEA/60ng2LlMXzE/s320/P2260094.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Next, was on to Liberty Jail. There is a museum built around the jail, and they now have it cut out so you can see inside. We had a great time learning about that trial, and the trials of the saints in Missouri.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pqpcRRbmqwI/T3DSXduhP0I/AAAAAAAABEM/i07H7L7mrSg/s1600/P2260095.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pqpcRRbmqwI/T3DSXduhP0I/AAAAAAAABEM/i07H7L7mrSg/s320/P2260095.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7RWqf77Z2-Q/T3DSX3RZrbI/AAAAAAAABEQ/BqZE6eJlWkE/s1600/P2260096.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7RWqf77Z2-Q/T3DSX3RZrbI/AAAAAAAABEQ/BqZE6eJlWkE/s320/P2260096.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The new Kansas City Temple is going to be dedicated in April.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UGbIauxfrAQ/T3DSbXxAjyI/AAAAAAAABE4/SajkFjA6CDw/s1600/P2260101.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UGbIauxfrAQ/T3DSbXxAjyI/AAAAAAAABE4/SajkFjA6CDw/s320/P2260101.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The dedicated temple site at Independence, MO. Missouri is such a beautiful place, and I can imagine it is even prettier in the summer when everything is green. Owen and Anders were such troopers all day going to all of the church sites. It was so fun to play with them!</span><br />

Ali served her mission in Omaha and spent a lot of her time at the trail center, so it is always fun to go. It is amazing to hear stories about the pioneers and their journeys to Salt Lake. Owen and Anders have been there so many times they new exactly what were the fun things to show us!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aL5fBjMnynM/T3DSh7Orv1I/AAAAAAAABGQ/zdxcyZC8MJY/s1600/P2270112.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aL5fBjMnynM/T3DSh7Orv1I/AAAAAAAABGQ/zdxcyZC8MJY/s320/P2270112.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">What a fun trip it was!

I always tell Nate I am so glad he is so good at recording what happens in our lives in his journal cause I struggle. </span> </span></span></span><br />
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So what are we up to? </div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Well while I spend my days enlightening the minds of tomorrow, Nate works as part of the "corporate America" part of the "evil" banking sector.</span> <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">(At least that is what those Occupiers are saying)</span> <br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Yep, it is just as I have said... kind of</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I am nobly performing my civic duty as a high school U.S. history <u>student</u> teacher at Syracuse High School. Or maybe it is more like I am serving my due time of 14 weeks counting down to graduation?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I guess it has been a bit of both for me. Teaching, I have discovered, is a lot like life. You need to be happy, you need to work hard, you need to have fun, you need to have ENERGY! It is hard, it is rewarding, it is silly, it is draining, it is nerve-racking, it is good. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I mean, Isn't everyone fascinated studying leadership, tactics, advantages in the Civil War? Aren't people interested at looking at the inter-workings of the government? Isn't the industrial revolution critical to our understanding of the divisions between North and South?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Answer Dani: YES!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Answer students: WHAT!?!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Let's just say that I have empathized with almost every part of this SNL clip where Jerry Seinfeld is teaching a history class. Click <a href="http://cooperativelearning.nuvvo.com/lesson/9592-seinfeld-teaches-history">here</a> to watch (it is a great watch) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Now, with only 3 1/2 weeks left I am somewhat reflective on my experience. There have been more good days then bad, I have had some really good lessons, and I have gained valuable experience that really culminates my college career. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Nate is doing just great at his new job with Zions. He is enjoying working downtown, and liking the full-time work schedule. Most of all he looks back to last year in his masters and he is grateful to be done with that crazy program. He is also going to start coaching two basketball teams, and playing in a league with friends. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">We have loved being in Salt Lake for the fall, football, family! <br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">We are happy and well, and looking forward to the holidays and festivizing!!!</span><br />

We threw another successful party! Despite the Christenson's moving two days later, Sophie being born, and finals ending! Up Green Canyon we had a zesty taco bar with sweet pork, lime rice, black beans, and guacamole: all to be topped off with Jarritos soda straight from Mexico. Sara made her own pinata out of paper mache adorned with red spikes and the Mexican flag symbol. The party would not have been complete without our authentic Mexican costumes. I mean look at Nate... can you say Speedy Gonzalez! What a party!</div>Dani and Nate Lloydhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09595741267745466073noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4133115170470121739.post-40257544771525687932011-05-03T09:29:00.006-04:002011-05-03T10:05:45.995-04:00Easy Tortellini Soup<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I wanted to post this recipe for one of Nate and I's favorite dinners as of late.

It could have just been an average week, but others set out to make a difference in my life, and I am grateful!</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="color: purple;">First- My amazing husband Nate! Holy Cow talk about totally selfless. Nate is super busy with his Economics program, and it is a very stressful thing most of the time. Many of you can probably relate who have husbands who are in school or working, or are yourself. Yet, he made my birthday such a perfect day! He woke up and made me just the breakfast I had been craving, fruit smoothie and crepes. Then we went to school, and he met me for lunch! This means a lot because usually he has study group all day on Mon,Wed, Fri, but he just left them :) Then after school, he ditched the last 15 min., we went up hiking!! It was what I wanted to do most, and the Logan weather was perfect! That night we had yummy tortellini soup, funfetti cake, and some presents! It was the dreamiest day! I love him!</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="color: orange; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Second- My family members made my week! On Sunday we had a Home-made Cafe Rio dinner that was delicious, and we got to relax together with conference. I did not want to come back to reality after that fun weekend! Thanks for coming to my birthday dinner, and for the nice presents. Thanks to all of the other family members I didn't get to see, but called or texted. It was so fun to talk to little nieces and get cards from nephews. I am spoiled that is for sure.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><span style="color: purple; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Third- I have the nicest friends! I don't mean that in a bragging way, but a seriously I know the nicest people ever, kind of way! It was so thoughtful of people to call and text on my birthday, it really did make my day!

I was pretty tired by the end, and I only did 300yd swim, 2 mile bike and a 1 mile run! I have a little ways to go, but I could see myself getting into this. The real tri that I am working towards is on February 12! I 400yd swim, 6mile bike, and 2 mile run! <br />
As far as other races on the horizon both Nate and I have this:<br />

Happy Birthday Huns!<br />
Well I hope you enjoyed. Hope it wasn't too exhausting recapping some of the highlights of our last four months!Dani and Nate Lloydhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09595741267745466073noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4133115170470121739.post-27506827051077785132010-12-08T13:06:00.002-05:002010-12-08T22:03:29.782-05:00The Spirit of Christmas<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Christmas is a time for hope and joy. We have great reason to rejoice in the many blessings we have been givin. We also have the hope of the future and the hope in Christ. It is because of him that we are here on earth experiencing life. Sometimes our trials seem huge, but I have found that as I look around me I am deeply humbled by the quiet faith of others who have been asked to endure far more then I have to this point in my life. They are seemingly ordinary people, who have extra-ordinary faith. They truely emulate the light of Christ. I want to write briefly about two women I have met this semester that have helped me to brighten my outlook on life and count my blessings.</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The first women is in my History class with me. We ended up sitting by each other the first day because we are both lefties. We took the two lefty desks in the front and started chatting. It just kind of worked out that we always sat by each other from then on. It has been great to get to know her, and I have learned a lot from our before and after class chats. I never see her any other time, and I only have one class time left, and I might not see her again. She has taught me about the power of making the most of the little things in life. I am not sure on her age, but she is a single mother (recently divorced). She has a 20 yr old daughter, sons 16 and 14. She loves her boys, and frequently tells me stories about them. They live in a little apartment together. Her daughter lives in Texas where she ran away with her boyfriend. This is so hard on my friend. She has a little grandson, but the boyfriend doesn't allow the daughter to see her family so my friend has only seen her grandson once. She was just going to get an admissions packet to send to her daughter with her Christmas package to try to get her to come to school and improve her life. She works and goes to school, and then takes care of her boys. At night she sometimes has time for homework. She is an example to me. I hope and pray that her family has a Merry Christmas!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The other woman I don't know as well, but her story has stayed with me. Her husband left their family a year ago, and left her to tend and provide for six young kids. She had been married young and had never finished school. She was able to recieve a scholarship from the CAPSA foundation(which is for abused women) and is now studying here at Utah State to be a nurse. She took the time to ask me all about my education, my family, and where I was from one night as we volunteered at the Hope Festival. I was instantly impressed with her geniuine interest in my life. She emulated the light of Christ. That was about two months ago and I just saw her on campus! It was great to chat for just a minute. Her kids are all sick this week, just as she is getting ready to take finals. Again I felt that pang in my heart as she smiled and said that everything would work out. I hope and pray that she and her family will have a Merry Christmas!</span><br />

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I know there are so many out there who are asked to endure hard trials, and sometimes it is unbearable, but it seems that you are the strong ones. Thank you for being who you are, and being such examples to me! Merry Christmas to everyone! </span>Dani and Nate Lloydhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09595741267745466073noreply@blogger.com2
