A picture says a thousand words...

Brent and I captured this photo at a stoplight on our way home from visiting the cemeteries for Memorial Day. It really seemed to capture the beauty of Memorial Day and being grateful for all those who have served for our freedom!!

This has been a pretty crazy week around our house... A week that has put life into perspective for us for sure! Brent's dad got into a car accident on Thursday night when he drove off of North Ogden Pass. After a late night at the Emergency Room and a stable spinal fracture he was released and we all were left a little in awe. After hearing his story, seeing where he drove off, seeing his car, and spending time with him, we have realized that we have truly seen a miracle. There are so many sad things that happen in the world and I 100% believe there were angels looking out for Brent's dad that night.

Life is crazy. There are decisions to be made every day. There is work, family, marriage, church, kids, animals, parents, siblings, co-workers, students, school, etc... I am sure the list could go on and on for some of us! At the end of the day though, what is really important? It makes me sad to think that sometimes it takes these extreme events for us to see what really matters that the end of the day!

I am so lucky to have amazing family and friends. If you are still reading this maybe take a minute and take the opportunity to remember to be grateful for all of the blessings in your own life!
