I'll be seeing you Rob

My sweet brother Rob peacefully passed away on December 2 at 10:14 pm. I can't even express how grateful I am to have been able to have him as my brother. 8 1/2 years ago he was in a tragic car accident and was paralyzed from the chest down. Rob did a post about hid accident last year if you would like to read about it click here . After his accident he had decreased lung function which sadly led to his passing. He loved being an uncle and adored our Mom. He had two dogs that he spoiled rotten because to him they were his kids. He had a huge heart and loved to make others happy. He always had a funny comment to make and could always make you smile. He lived the last 8 1/2 years in a body that held him prisoner from the man he once was. I know that he did this for me and my family. I have learned so much from him and I feel so privileged to have known a true HERO. I know that he is where he wants to be. He is now with his Nana and Grandpa Rudy. It is comforting to have the perspective of the Gospel Plan. I know that I will see him again.

Thanks so much for your love, support, fasting and prayers.

~A Viewing will be held at Larkin Sunset Lawn Mortuary (2350 E. 1300 S., SLC, UT 84108 - Just above Foothill Blvd.) Sunday Dec. 6th 6-8pm.
~The Funeral will be Monday Dec. 7th at the Mt Olympus No Stake Center. 4176 S. Adonis Dr. (3930 E.) at Noon. A viewing will be held prior to the funeral from 11-11:45 am.
 

The latest on Rob: The CT scan of his brain came back normal, his kidneys keep getting worse and are in the beginning stages of kidney failure, not sure when they start dialysis. Since his accident 8 years ago he has had decreased lung function. They think that over the years his nervous system has deteriorated. He is still sedated. He has a vent tube down his throat and they have him restrained so he can't pull it out. They are hoping to be able to take the sedation away along with the vent tube. Hopefully he can breath on his own.

Please Pray For Him

 

The week of Thanksgiving started with my brother Rob being  admitted to University Hospital for cellulitis and a blood clot in one of his legs. On Friday afternoon they sent him home with antibiotics. On Friday night my sister Kelie woke up to him making a strange noise and ran into his room. Kelie called for my mom to come down. They tried to get him to wake up and the next thing they knew he had stopped breathing. Kelie called 911 and my dad came in and started to do CPR. The Ambulance came and got him and took him to St. Marks Hospital where they got him stabilized. He is in the ICU and they have him on oxygen because he is having problem breathing. After many test they still don't know what happened. They have a few more tests to do, but his kidneys are not strong enough right now to do them. Please remember him in your prayers.

Midnight Movie

On Thursday night I went to the midnight showing of New Moon. It was so fun to see everyone dressed up and so giddy to see the movie. I'm not usually one to go to Midnight Showings, but I have to say it is worth it for the Twilight movies. I can't believe how many people are in love with these books. Stephanie Meyer is truly a talented writer to be able to make all her readers fall in love with vampires and ware wolfs. It's actually kind of creepy. But somewhere along the way I fell in love with these books, despite how Crazy and cheesy they may be.

 

 

Thanks For the tickets Mel. Love ya!

HaLlOwEeN!

I can't believe how many people have told me that they HATE Halloween. I on the other hand, love it. I love the Fall and Halloween is accompanied by the best fall weather. The air is crisp but not to cold and the leaves are full of colors as they start to cover the ground. It's beautiful outside. On top of that, there are so many delicious pumpkin recipes and treats. And you get to dress up. So how can you say you hate Halloween?

I just don't get it.

Here are some pics from our Halloween party we went to .

I would like to thank my mom for saving her 80's workout clothes and my sister for finding me amazing hot pink leg warmers. Without them I would have never won Best Girl Costume.

Thank You for your help I love you.

 

Halloween + Bunko

Thursday night we had our Halloween Bunko and we dressed up like Super Hero's. We had a great turn out and tons of laughs.

Here are our Super Hero's in action:

Some people you may never forget.

I found this picture the other day while cleaning out my storage room.

My eyes filled with tears as a flood of memories flashed through my head.

This is Marilyn Price Adams, my Nana who I miss like crazy.
I don't think a day goes by when I don't think of her.
When ever I do something I think to my self

"would Nana be proud of me for this?" or "Nana would love this."

I have been thinking a lot about her lately since I am having Bunko at my house this week and no one threw a better party then Marilyn Price Adams. She was the most amazing person I have ever met in every aspect of her life. I long to be more like her and I will strive to be more like her.

I am so thankful for her and her example to me.

I will never forget her.
