Thinking of my Parents
Today is the very last day of over 19 years that my parents have lived in Saudi Arabia. They have packed up all of their stuff and are traveling out of the country as I write this. I've thought many times what it would be like to live close to my parents again. As many of you know I moved up here to Washington about 6 months ago form Pleasant Grove, Utah. My dad and mom are moving into their beautiful home in American Fork, Utah, about 10 minutes away from where I used to live. This was a very difficult move for me because I knew that my dad and mom where coming back for good after almost two decades. Fifteen years of which I lived away from them. I thought, "What, I have to move away when my parents are just moving back so close?" This prevented me, for some time from receiving the Lord's answer to my prayer, which was that we should move here. I struggled with it, although through some inner searching I realized that distance does not separate the heart. In fact distance makes the heart grow fonder. As my heart has grown in fondness for my parents over the years there has also been a longing to be with them in body. I am so happy for my mom and dad. Both of them are examples of love to me. I know now, that I will see them more often and that our relationship will continue to grow and take on new sides. I'm excited for this new time and new horizon that is before them. I think that the most beautiful part of any relationship is the joy that is felt in being and letting the moments flow. =) This is the peace that is found when we let live and love. Love you dad and mom! I am excited to celebrate with you in the sun.

THE SEATTLE AQURIUM
The kids and I got out to see the fishies and slimy under water creatures at he aquarium last tuesday. We saw star fish, an octopus, seals, birds, and lots and lots of different fish. The kids got to touch the crabs and sea urchins. Stan liked that part the most. It was even nice weather, so we took a walk out by the sound. The kids loved it and it was actually relaxing for me.
Scuba Sue and Willy too.
Pretty fish tanks
Stan liked the fish dome
