Family night with Torgerson's

Marta was sick sick sick on Monday and we made a trip to the emergency room...she has something wrong with her liver that we'll find out more about later this week...but it was fun for a little bit for us when her percocet was strong...She was saying STRANGE things. I remember after my c-sections how hard it would be to talk when I was on percocet.
We had her kids come join us for dinner and Family Home Evening along with the Torgersons...Danielle took an unexpected trip to visit her mom and dad in Atlanta. I thought I was helping out, but I think the kids were sad they missed out on another night EATING OUT with their Dad. Ron told us stories about his trip to Brazil and his experience going to the Temple.


































I'm in charge of the VIKING OF THE MONTH AWARDS at the High School for PTA...this week we had some AMAZING kids...a sophomore who has just now been declared 5 years clean after brain cancer, a girl who moved here unexpectedly after her Dad died in California so her mom could start a buisness here...all the kids are recognized for some outstanding service or/and scholarship. It's like my warm fuzzy for the month that people so young are shining so brightly for their goodness. Right after this awards meeting, I had the stark contrast of attending another PTA meeting where we learned of a boy in school whose mother had blamed him for HER syringes and the multiple times he had spent wrongly in Juvinelle Detention. And another bright kid whose parent doesn't want him, and will have to filter into the foster system...its a crazy world.

Josh...this snowman is for you...Look at the steps to see just how large it is. Largest snowman in the world. Imagine how big those TREES are for his arms!
