Coral Pink Sand Dunes

We spent last weekend at the Coral Pink Sand Dunes down by Kanab with the Willis family. Kyle had a stress test that morning and his heart went into an arrhythmia and his doctors wouldn't let him drive until they figured it out. Because of that and his passing out in Moab recently Dad agreed to be a good sport and went along with us for a little R & R so we could still take the trailer and go. He took the opportunity to go into St. George on Saturday and take Roy to lunch for his upcoming birthday.  Kyle saw Dr. Miller yesterday and they adjusted his pacemaker and gave him the all clear to resume his normal activities so that is nice. It was kind of an inconvenience for him not to be able to drive.

We knew I had to drive him over to Bear Lake when we got home Sunday night so he could be there for work Monday morning so we left to come home in good time.  So of course we had a problem with the tire on the truck in Draper and were delayed by two hours.  This led to us heading to Bear Lake about 11:00 Sunday night and of course driving through a blizzard to get there.  O the fun we have.  It just never stops.

Food for Thought

"How do you reconcile two seemingly unmixable things--on one side you have a God who is all loving all powerful and on the other side, life that's full of disappointment, crisis and hurt?"

"Faith is saying I choose to believe in you, God, more than this or that tragedy."

Our Summer Adventure

Kyle and I are going to be spending our summer looking at this wonderful view:

Last Tuesday I posted a comment on Facebook hoping Kyle could find a job he would like, and hopefully it would happen soon.  That afternoon we got a lead, on Wednesday Kyle went and met the man in charge and Friday after meeting with me they offered us the job.  Now that's what I call a quick answer to my prayers. 

Starting tomorrow Kyle and I are going to be living in Bear Lake for the summer.  Kyle and I are working as carekeepers/housekeepers for a private family owned compound.  There are 4 cabins and several smaller living facilities on site.  There is a tennis court, beach, marina, boats, jet skis, 4-wheelers, and horses to be maintained and taken care off.  Part of the deal is that we will have an apartment in a really nice cabin on site for the summer. 

Kyle will be staying there full-time working with Gabe, the man in charge (who seems awesome), and I will be there on the weekends for sure and at least a couple of nights each week to do my part.  We are really excited and think it is going to be a great summer adventure.  I'm sure it will be a lot of hard work, but fun as well.  I can think of much worse places to spend my summer.  The owners have a lot of influence in Cache Valley so maybe it will lead to something else for Kyle come October when we are done with it.  Wish us luck!!!

Jeepin' in Moab

Kyle spent part of last week in Moab with Dad, Tyler, Jon and Jaron. They had a great time and he came home with only a few scratches and bruises. They went on a little hike up a mountain which resulted in Kyle passing out and scraping up his arm and back. Luckily Dad and Tyler were right there and got to him and stopped him from falling too far.

On a positive note, at his appointment on Wednesday with Sheralee and Dr. Miller (his heart doctors) he found out that his heart function has improved. Before his pacemaker surgery it was functioning at 18% and 6 weeks or so ago it was at 34% so we are thrilled with this news.
