great news Jeff

Okay, today is great news day!!! Jeff, we have all had our prayers answered. Your family has been praying for the job offer to happen and today it has all come true. I have begged the Lord every day and I will be thanking him mightily tonight for taking care of you and your family. I couldn't be more grateful. Then to know that Brett has successfully survived surgery. We have had him in our thoughts and prayers as well and while we expected nothing less, it is always scary to go under the knife. It sounds like from all indications that Sherri's biggest problem now will be trying to keep him occupied and taking it easy for the next 3 weeks. That is hard for Brett to do. I have a confession. Rick and I are enjoying Yellowstone tremendously. Well, we invited Mark, Angela and girls to join us if they could and they came up last night (Thursday). I hope no one feels left out. We would like for all of our kids to come with us and yet, it is never a good time for anyone so we just ask them if they could take a few days this time before we leave for our mission and they decided to take 3 days and come on up. Perhaps another time someone else will be able to come with us. We have seen 3 moose, a grizzly, elk, buffaloes and their calves, coyote, beavers every night right out our door, red fox right out our door, bald eagle. It is quite something. We are hoping Sherri and family will see tons when they come in July. today we woke up to snow but other than the wind, it has been a nice day. We watched Old Faithful erupt and the girls got to see many hot spots and found them fascinating. We just ate a barbeque steak dinner at the condo and Mark and family are in the hot tub. Rick and I decided to stay in tonight and be old foggies. Well, hope everyone's week is great...who could ask for more blessings than our family has had recently? I love you all and looking forward to McKenna's farewell, Jeff and Kayla and boys visit, Michael, Catherine and family's visit, David and Ethan's visit and a family reunion soon. Love to all, Mom
