Here I am....

Yes! We are still alive!!!! Not much has gone on around here! Bryce was named "student of the day"last week. He was soooooo excited about it! He has the best teacher EVER!!! She called me to tell me how it was announced over the P.A. and he was so proud! Then she put him on the phone and he couldn't wait to tell me! Taylor has one last game of basketball for the season. She is such an amazing player and we have been approached by other coaches to get her on a league team. She is so good...not because I am her mom either! lol She sinks 3 pointers 4 out of 5 times. And handles the ball like no other!!!! Marc is getting ready for the season...getting some bids going. It was a tight winter but the light can be seen at the end of the tunnel! I have loved winter but the sun has been out and I hear birds outside my window...I am ready for Spring! I have been busy at the gym (no surprize I know) and loving spending the winter with Marc...I will be in charge of books this year for our company...is this good or bad?!?! ha ha
I did a ride along with a police officer friend of mine last weekend up in Rose Park and West side. Think past fair grounds and homeless shelter areas for those of you who know Salt Lake. It was an amazing experience...I stuck out like a sore thumb in that area. I saw a man in Pioneer park who was homeless who had smoked some bad crack and died. They couldn't bring him back...it was sad to me because here this man died and who would miss him? He was just some homeless man to most...but one time he was a son and maybe a brother or husband. Another call there were 2 small children there and it broke my heart because they didn't stand a chance. And all their mom could say to me was how she really liked my hair. It was sooooo sad because I could tell she was embarassed to have me see her situation...she was maybe 24. Then by the homeless shelter another woman walked by with her husband and I could see how broken her spirit was....I am so thankful for my life and all I have been blessed with...I am also so thankful that those situations still touch my soul. I hope I can pass that onto my children so that they never look away from those that have nothing.....
