Well, I am finally done reupholsterying my couch!!!! I started it May 11th, and ended May 28th! Now I cannot take credit for all of it, my sister-in-law, Julie, had all the magic. She had never done a couch before either, but we did it together (which I suggest for anyone thinking about doing their couch...HAVE SOMEONE HELP YOU). My mother also helped me on some. And my sister, Ashley and sister-in-law, TeriDel helped watch my little ones (it wouldn't have been possible if Sarah was around!) I DID IT! Pillows 'n all!

*Finished Couch*

Don't look close. We didn't have any permanent mistakes, just little things here 'n there we would change...but I don't think I'll be doing something like this again for a while! It was definately a learning experience. It's only a resting/reading/talking couch. (No kids allowed for more than 5 minutes...and no dirt, shoes, or jumping, standing, sliding, climbing, drooling, boogers, burgers, peeps, or any other food/drink for that matter!) We'll see how long that lasts! But isn't it GORGEOUS!?!

(After 9-11)

We haven't been to NY together...yet! We are planning on going at the end of June! I am totally excited! We won't be able to be there as long as I hoped, but I'm totally fine with it. I just want to go to the Temple and a few other places with my best friend.


As you can see, Kevin went on his mission to NY. He was there, about 10 blocks away, when 9-11 happened. He was greatful to be a missionary there at that time. (His mom, not so much).

This morning, my good friend, Kathrine Welker, her husband died. They don't know the cause of his death. She woke up with him in bed, cold and no life left in him. She has two daughters, who are 4 and 6 years old. This experience of loosing a life so close has made me so greatful for the people in my life. And for the plan of salvation. I know that as Kevin and I stay worthy and help our children grow in righteousness, we will be together forever with our Heavenly Father. I want Kevin to know how much I love him and what a mess I would be if he was gone. I couldn't imagine life without him or my girls or this gospel.
