BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER!

Today is my cousin Heather's birthday. She called me and we talked for over an hour. She was telling me everything that had happened the last week, and boy was it A LOT! They have had a lot of HARD things, a lot of scary things and a lot of amazing things. The veil has been very thin for them. I don't want to write down everything she told me because I don't know what she wants to keep personal. After being told that her dad had no chance, it now looks like he might make it. Right before we got off the phone Heather got a text that made her cry. She was sobbing as she read it to me. I had her copy paste so I could send it to my brothers. It looks like Glade is going to be okay. Wow! What a ride.

Living Ordinance

It was so nice and fun to have all my kids home. I'm going to miss this part of my life. We played Mario Party downstairs and Preston dominated. Stockton and Alyssa got their marriage license. So nice that you can do it online now. Stockton had a bishop's interview for to get his living ordinance recommend. The only problem was the bishop had no idea he was supposed to do that. He was wondering what Stockton came to talk to him about. We didn't realize that Stockton would need a stake president interview too. Don't know why we didn't think of that. All of the stake presidency is out of town. Stockton is trying to figure out how to get that taken care of.

My BeReal looked funny on my phone. Talk about perfect placement!

I texted Heather a bit today. The news today is MUCH better than it was yesterday. Fingers crossed Glade keeps progressing in the right direction!

Bachelor Party at the Bungalow

I picked up Stockton at Alyssa's house in Mapleton this morning. He had taken the shuttle from Snow College to BYU. Alyssa picked him up at BYU. Stockton took his physics test while I was driving down there. He didn't do as well as he had hoped on this test, but he has enough of a cushion that he should still be able to get an A. I was telling Stockton about Glade on the way back to our house. Once he got to our house he looked at the list he had been compiling from the wedding invitation Venmo. Second name on the list was Glade Powell. He sent Stockton and Alyssa a wedding gift probably hours before he got sick. And now he is so close to dying. What a bizarre situation. I texted Heather throughout the day. I'm just going to post the thread because it will be easier than explaining. I only took screenshots of the relevant Glade information.

In happier news, Stockton went down to Logan for a bachelor party the Bungalow boys were throwing for him and Ezra. Ezra gets married three days after Stockton. Gavin went down with Stockton. Stockton was happy about that and had a great night out with the boys.
