The Lines Are Drawn.......

and we are separated from all the rest of our ward. A familiar feeling as it has happened before. The news came down at stake conference this morning. Larry was released last Sunday and so we knew that we wouldn't be with the east side of our ward anymore( with a lot of confidence). However, we didn't expect to be separated from everyone west of us also. Yup, that's right . Out of all the plans we had thought of that one didn't even enter our radar. So there are 10 homes from our old ward that have been put into this already well established ward. They lost about 30 homes. But still have alot of people. I know that it was inspiration(in fact it was signed off by President Hinckley) and so we will make the best of it, as we will probably be in this ward for many years to come. I hope that we are better about retaining friendships than we were with the last boundary change. It seems that once those lines are drawn, you become so involved in your new ward that you lose the connections that you have. That is something I will have to work on. I think that we are much more open to inviting people over to spend time together now than we were then. And we have some great friends in the neighborhood. So onward and upward!We will grow together.

Hurray!

It's a GIRL! I am so EXCITED for Heather and Jeff and the boys!

The boys have been saying since day one(at least Easton has)that it is a girl. You know I really do believe that the veil is very thin until the time when children can clearly communicate their thoughts and feelings with us. I say this because of an experience we had with Amy when she was very young......

I was pregnant with Amy in the winter of 1983/84. Larry's grandmother, Rose Elizabeth Knight passed away in her early 90's in December of 1983. I loved Grandma Knight and if we would have had another girl, I would have pushed for the name Eliza Rose(Eliza for my Grandma Boyes and Rose for Grandma Knight). I know old-fashioned. Anyway, she was not alive when Amy was born. When Amy was about 3 years old, we were sitting reading stories when she told me about how she used to sit on Grandma Rose' lap. Now you have to understand that Grandma was not someone that we talked about after she died, so it wasn't as tho that info would have been in her head. We could never remember talking about grandma, let alone "Grandma Rose". We always called her Grandma Knight. I truly believe that Amy had some experiences with Grandma Rose in the short time (2 months) that They may have had the opportunity to be together in Heaven. I am grateful for my knowledge of our premortal life and our Postmortal life and the continuation of family from Heaven to the Earth to Heaven. Families can be together FOREVER!
