It's been a long time between posts.

This is such an exciting time of year to work at a school with so much going on that I have to get caught up. It's going to be over before I know it.

Both Jake and Logan have been running track and I have seen all the options of Utah weather. I got sunburned one week at Jake's track and huddled under an umbrella the next week with snow flying. Jake is running on a new home track at UVU for the first time. It's a beauty, even a water hole for the steeplechase race, and a scoreboard that can show video.

My dearest friend who has colon cancer is halfway through her chemo treatments with a scan taken last week showing good results. Her is a quote from her blog: My PET Scan Posted Apr 6, 2011 7:05pm After an agonizing day of waiting - we got GREAT news!!!! I was so nervous when they called that I didn't even ask any questions, but here is what my awesome PA Rick told me. First of all, he said it was a "great scan". The cancer is gone from my liver and he said it was "undetectable" in my colon (not sure why he used different words, they both sound like gone to me - but I'll be sure to ask Dr. Harker for more details on Tuesday at my next Chemo). He said that I still have a few swollen lymph nodes, but they are smaller and less bright. The brightness has to do with the metabolic activity, so less bright means they are less active!! I know that this would not have happened without everyone's prayers and fasting and I KNOW Heavenly Father is helping me - I feel his hand in my life everyday! Thank you so much for all the love and support for me and my family. I still have a long road ahead - 6 more chemos and surgery, but I know that Heavenly Father is blessing me and my family and the road seems a little less rocky now! Love you all!!

I have so many experiences happen at school that I want to write about but this one keeps tugging at my heart and is making me break my 5 week silence. We enrolled an older girl last Monday at our school who just changed foster families. She has been in several foster families in the past few years. She came to the office Tuesday and we talked with her and she came back Wednesday and she had had an accident in her pants. We let her stand until her foster mom came and got her and my heart really went out to her as she kept on saying I am so sorry and she sounded scared. When I got to work on Thursday I was told that the reason she messed her pants the previous day was because she was going into the library and saw her birth brother leaving and she had not seen him for a year and a half. She ran up to him. They hugged and cried to see each other. They were reunited at our school. He has been in the same foster family that whole time while she had been switched all around. She came to see us Thursday again in the office but we did not see her Friday so I hope that means she is adjusting. I imagined how my Kelsi would greet her brother Logan if they had not seen each other in that amount of time. Yikes it still gets to me. That sweet girl.
