Life...

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone's support and love over this last month. And thank you to everyone who came to the funeral/viewing, for meals, notes everything!!! It's amazing how quickly life can change, I miss my husband and my little family. But I am so grateful for what I DO have, things could be worse and my child is the best thing to keep me going. Colin and I have moved from our cute house in davis county, to my parents house. I really feel like we need to be close to support and love. These are some cute pics of us over the last year or so.

Hi Elli-
Thanks for the update. It was nice of you to let us into your life. I know Provo is a bit far but if you ever need a day out please call me and I'll meet you anytime, any place. Hugs to you and Colin :)

I am sooo glad that we have had craft nights and have gotten to hang out more lately. It has been way too long. I would love to hang out more.

I just have to say those are some of the cutest pictures ever! Colin is going to love having those pictures of Chris.

Thank goodness you have Colin. :)

It's hard to read your blog now...the playlist makes me cry. We all loved Chris and he is greatly missed!

Ellie, I truly believe that you are one of the STRONGEST people I know! This might be a terrible thing to say right now, but I cant help but think that this should have happened to me and Coast. Its my husband that has a serious heart condition. Not "if" but "when" is always in the back of my mind!! Our Heavenly Father NEVER gives us any trial that we cant overcome! We have to hold on to our FAITH. I believe that through these trials in our lives that are definitely LESS THAN ideal, we become spiritually stronger and finally turn to our Father in Heaven for comfort and help, which we should be doing all the time! I try to always remind myself. I pray for you both every night! I LOVE these pictures you posted and it really made me smile, Chris will always be with you and Colin even if you cant see him, you'll feel him! Ellie I love you, and we seriously need to get together and have a play date! Coast and Colin will play great together, they both really LOVE cars.. Call me soon ok? :)You are truly GREAT
The funeral service was beautiful, your family is definitely LOVED
