THANK YOU .....THANK YOU!

WHEN WE GOT HOME FROM EPHRAIM TODAY....I HAD A SPECIAL GIFT FROM ALL OF THE CHILDREN....WAITING FOR ME.  I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN TELL FROM THIS PICTURE, BUT THIS HORSE IS JUST LIKE THE ONE THAT WAS BY THE TREE THAT WAS DECORATED FOR BEN AND LEXIE FOR THE FESTIVAL OF TREES.  AFTER I HAD BEEN TO THE FESTIVAL IN SALT LAKE, I CAME HOME AND SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR A HORSE LIKE THIS...I REALLY JUST WANTED IT  SO THAT I COULD REMEMBER THE TENDERNESS I FELT AS I LOOKED AT THAT TREE.  I FELT SO CLOSE TO HIM.
AS MUCH AS I PRIDE MYSELF IN THE FACT THAT I CAN FIND ANYTHING ON THE INTERNET......I COULD NOT FIND THIS HORSE.  I FOUND AND ORDERED THE BLANKET LIKE THEY HAD BUT NOT THE HORSE.
LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT TASHA, ANDREA, AND SHANNON HAD PUT TOGETHER A PLAN TO GET THIS PRECIOUS GIFT FOR ME FOR CHRISTMAS!
I ADMIT THAT I CRIED WHEN I SAW IT.  I AM CRYING JUST WRITING ABOUT IT.  HEAVENLY FATHER BLESSED ME WITH A DAUGHTER AND DAUGHTER-IN-LAWS THAT ARE ANGELS.  IT MEANT AS MUCH TO ME THAT THEY HAD WANTED TO DO SOMETHING SO SPECIAL, AS THE ACTUAL GIFT MEANT (WHICH IS MORE THAN I CAN EXPRESS).  THANK YOU GIRL'S FOR BEING SO KIND AND THOUGHTFUL.  THANK YOU FOR THE WONDERFUL WIVE'S AND MOTHER'S THAT YOU ARE TO THE GUYS AND THE GRANDCHILDREN.  THANK YOU FOR LETTING SHAD AND I BE SUCH A BIG PART OF YOUR LIVES.  THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR JOYS AND SORROWS SO THAT WE CAN REJOICE AND PRAY FOR YOU.  FAMILIES REALLY ARE FOREVER AND I HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH THE BEST FAMILY EVER!  I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!
