Sclero-what?

After the success we had {last year} we were excited for the 2015 race. I can't even begin to express my gratitude for the love and support that has been shown towards me and my family over the last few years. I love seeing family get together, and people gather for a good cause. This year (and by this year, I actually mean last year...2015) the race was held in SLC. It was a beautiful location, and the weather, though a bit chilly, was still beautiful. Greg and I got up bright and early, and headed on our way. I seriously was so blessed to have so many people come out and support. I had my friend Jenna come all the way from Rock Springs with her new baby to walk with us, as well as Buck & Aub, and then tons of family. It was so wonderful to see everyone! We had shirts made again, and it was awesome seeing everyone wear them. Me & Jenna Me, Aub & Buck My cousin Michelle & I with Michelle's daughter Kennedy Brady, me & ...

Last weekend was a great experience. It was the Northern Utah: Stepping Out to Cure Scleroderma 5K walk. I posted information about it in this blog post if you''d like to read more about it.

I had looked and looked to see if there was anything going on close to me, and when I found the 5K in Syracuse, UT, I really wanted to do it. I jokingly posted on facebook to see if anyone wanted to join me, and I got some responses like, "I wish I could, but I'd love to donate." Awesome. People are so awesome! Then I saw my mom a few days later and she said that my Aunt Laurel had suggested that we all do it, and get T-shirts and ...

Looking back over the past few months can be a bit overwhelming when I consider all the random acts of kindness that I have received. I mean, really over the last two years it's been quite amazing to me, but for some reason the past two months it seemed like one thing right after another. When we have trials we often feel abandoned and alone, and have a hard time really seeing our Heavenly Father's hand in our daily lives. We become so consumed by what heartaches and pains we are experiencing that we don't pay attention to the little blessings in our lives. When I got shingles, I had a really hard time with it. I mean, I was cruising along, feeling 'great'. I even had told Greg not to long before that I hadn't felt that good in a long time. So when this came along, took me out of my daily routine, and just shook everything up, I was a bit hurt. I couldn't help but think, "Why now? I haven't been feeling overly stressed, everything is good, so wh...
