I truly believe life isn't fair but I also know its not supposed to be. Today, I cared for the sweetest patient who was dying....not like any minute but if I had to guess, within the next few weeks. My assistant & I cleaned this person up (which was somewhat painful for them)& before I left the room I asked if there was anything else I could do. This sweet person looks at me with tired eyes & says, "Just let me die." I didnt really know what to say to that. Nothing I do or say will bring this person comfort. It broke my heart & I almost started to cry in front of her. I said a silent prayer in my heart that God would ease her pain & suffering. It made me sad I couldn't do more. I know this is pretty depressing but something about that moment today touched my heart & got me thinking about how Christ has suffered & endured our trials. It made me sad & grateful at the same time & I will never forget that moment today. Its kind of hard for me to fully explain how this affected me.

Anyways, in happier news, Brock has had a couple interviews for jobs! The first one was in Albuquerque at Sandia National Laboratories. The benefits are amazing & it sounds like they want to offer him the job we're just waiting for a formal letter in the mail. He also had a couple phone interviews with some company in Lehi, Utah. I'm really excited about this company & if they're interested in hiring Brock, they'll fly him out to get to know him better, etc. It wouldn't be official if he flew out but it would be a step in the right direction. Addie is getting SO big! She is also smiling and laughing like crazy. She is my best friend & sometimes I can't wait for her to wake up from her nap so we can play. Going back to work has been tough & I'm sure excited to see her when I get home. Hmmm, what else has been going on? Life has pretty much been work, babysitting, and more work with the occasional swim party at Shalene's house. We had our second haboob here in the valley, & yes I said haboob. Apparently, its a huge dust storm & its the craziest thing to see! It cool but then I'm all paranoid I'm going to get Valley Fever which can be a realy bad thing. Well, thats pretty much it for us... Life isn't too exciting but sometimes I'm ok with that. Pictures to come later!
