July 30, 2009 I had no idea what to do as a widow. I felt like I was on a rollercoaster ride and wanted to get off and whoever was running the show wouldn’t stop to let me. Luckily I had so much support. My friends and family had no idea what I was going […]
Dec 27, 2008 . Christmas Card ’08 Christmas was so fun!! Our family spent Christmas Eve with the Adamsons. We had a wonderful dinner and then a program. This picture is when we read from the bible of Christ’s birth and the children acted it out for us. We had 2 Mary’s this year so […]
December 21, 2008 On Sunday I felt Jay was with us when Sacrament Meeting started and I wondered why. Then the bishop had Jeremy stand for us to sustain him as a Teacher and I knew why Jay was there. Jeremy asked Donny to ordain him, so it was nice to have Donny, Don and […]
December 17, 2008 I couldn’t wait until Saturday to show you the pictures of my new nieces! December 16th at 4:01pm Donny and Summer had Jayne. She was 7 lbs 9 oz and 21″ long. She is super darling!! December 17th at 6:20am Jeff and Karol had Allison. She was 7 lbs 15 oz and […]
December 13, 2008 Sunday morning was the best because my Dad and Mom had my kids sleep over the night before so I got to sleep in!! The Christmas songs are hard to hear and in Relief Society, I had a hard time. Thanks, Tiff and Ali for always being there for me 🙂 Jeremy […]
December 7, 2008 Sunday was as hard as the rest of last week! In the morning I missed Jay and couldn’t find a place in my house to be alone so I went to the cemetery. I just sat there and cried and cried. I can do hard things but I don’t want to do […]
Nov 30, 2008 Sunday was great with church and then going to my sister’s home for dinner. We look forward to being with them every chance we get! Monday was nice to have FHE at our Bishops -we love the Roberson family! I worked Mon, Tues, and Wed and was busy every second of every […]
November 22, 2008 I am grateful for my extended family. They are always there for me and were a lot this week! We had extended FHE on Sunday and Jay’s parents gave each one of us a challenge to give a Book of Mormon away before Christmas. That will be fun to watch my kids […]
Nov 15, 2008 When I got home from work on Monday, I got a surprise in the mail that threw me off for a whole day. Tooele Sheriff’s Department sent me a box of Jay’s things they had held for evidence from the search. His shoes, sunglasses and a CD. That was all they found […]
November 8, 2008 I didn’t realize election day would be hard. Things come up each week that make me realize Jay really is gone and in ways that are totally unexpected! He loved election day and would watch the news all day long. He would always drag me to vote – so this year I […]
Nov 1, 2008 I made it through October! One big holiday down! I told my brother I was hanging in there with a big fat smile, whether I liked it or not. This is what I tell my kids to do, too. This was a fun week. On Sunday I met with a member of […]
OCT 25, 2008 We had our ups and downs this week. But I’m not on the rollercoaster anymore – remember I jumped off! Everyone is back in school now which is good for all of us!! Except it was hard to get everyone up after the UEA vacation. Jeremy tried to fake sick on Tuesday, […]
Oct 20, 2008 Riley emails us every Monday, so I love Mondays even more now. I have always loved Monday because it was garbage day. I know – I’m crazy! (Clutter and I don’t mix very well!) Well, today Riley wrote to me and I totally forgot to write him a couple of weeks ago. […]
Oct 18, 2008 . Wow, another week has passed and it IS getting better every week. Others have told me this would happen and I am so grateful. I am grateful for a lot of things! I have the best kids in the world! They are so good to me. Jay taught them respect for […]
Oct 11, 2008 . Each week is getting better! But I am still not getting any sleep. I don’t know why – I just can’t. Who needs sleep!! My parents are gone for 2 weeks and Jay’s are gone this week, so I had to count on others like Jay’s brother, Donny. He came over […]
