Ashlyn's Violin Recital May 2010

Ash had her violin concert today and it causes her great anxiety to perform in front of people. This is something that she really wants to overcome. Violin has been great too to help boost her confidence and performing! She memorized her pieces and performed them perfectly!!! I am so proud of her! The bonus is Ash loves to play her violin and adores her teacher Connie!!!

Mom & Dad's Mission Call April 28, 2010

Today my parents opened their mission call!!! As if today wasn't already emotional enough! We had my Grandma Buswell's funeral and then later that day we all gathered around for the official word. YES they are going to Trinidad!!!

I am so excited for them! This is a dream they have had since they were just newlyweds! But to be honest it was just to much emotion for one day! I had just lost both my Grandparents in just 4 months and now I feel like I'm losing my parents! I know that it's just 18 months but I know how hard it is going to be without them! I love having them around! I will miss them like CRAZY!!!

Saying Goodbye to my Grandma Buz April 22, 2010

Today I had arranged to take dinner to my sister Jenny in Layton. She was having a very stressful week and I really wanted to help! Around 1:00 I was pulling out of her driveway when I got a call from my dad. He said that they found my Grandma unconscious and she was at McKay Dee Hospital. She had a massive aneurysm and wouldn't make it through the hour. I was devastated and shocked!!! If fact I probably shouldn't have been driving because I was a wreck! I'm not quit sure how I made it to the hospital!

This whole day was a tender mercy given to me. If I wouldn't have been only 15 minutes away I wouldn't have made it to the hospital to see my Grandma and say my goodbyes!!! I know that I was in the right place at the right time! I am so grateful that I was there at that very moment! It was so hard to see my Grandma in such a state. Just 4 days earlier I was celebrating her Birthday with her! Yet as I walked into the hospital room you could feel a definite peace! It was her time and I know that she was very happy to see my Grandpa and all her family that she loves!

Grandma's funeral was an amazing tribute to her and her life!!! I am so grateful that she was my Grandma and honored to be her Oldest Granddaughter!

Hugs & Kisses Grandma!!!!
