Today, I received this gift from my friend Misty. I met Misty and her family about 2 months ago, they have become my family's lifesavers since we moved to Utah.  The move was hard for my little family. With the changes that we have gone through, the Lord knew that we would not be able to get through this time without great friends.

I have so many friends in Vegas that have helped us get through the past year. 

Many have suspected, but many don't know: Dusty and I are divorcing. We filed for Divorce Sept. 30, 2009 and the papers are finally on the judges desk.

This past year has been full of tears, heartache, fear of the unknown, and blessings from my Heavenly Father. I don't think I could ever put into words how much I love Heavenly Father for blessing me with the faith and strength to get through this. Along with the faith and strength he has given me so many friends that have stood by me, have given me their shoulders to cry on, and have cared for and loved my babies.

To all my friends and family who have stood by me and given me the strength--I thank you and my children thank you. I pray that I will be as good a friend as you have been to us. I love you all!!
