The things I missed and so appreciate!



Here are just a few of the things I took for granted and now realize more than ever how much I appreciate and love them.


I never thought I would want to cook again when I was sick, but now I remember how much I love cooking and eating delicious meals.

Missy, a forever friend since fifth grade, and I went to Golden Spoon while I was in California.  She is due any day now with her second baby girl.

Friends in Arizona-every sunday we get together for game night.  This was actually a tuesday night, but same group.

Getting ready for and actually going to church is something I've never been more grateful to be able to do.  I was so excited to go back on sunday I actually made Zac match with me.  He was a good sport.

And last, but not least, just being able to smile again, to laugh and enjoy everyday I am not in the hospital.  I never thought I would get through the past couple of weeks, but with the help of family and friends I am still here and surviving each day.  As time goes by I realize that there is a plan for Zac and I and that one day we will become parents.

Becky, it was so GREAT to see you/visit with you yesterday!! You look sooo good and I can't believe how well you're handling everything--much better than I would be, that's for sure. You're so right that Heavenly Father has a plan for you guys to be parents someday. And when that day comes, you'll be the best parents there ever were. Love ya lots and I'm glad you're back! We'll have to do lots of fun things to make up for the summer!

Yay for smiling! Life is so hard sometimes, right? Sometimes I just plain hate it.

Glad you've found some happiness and that you're moving on. The best things seem to come at unexpected times.

Hey Becky, it's Rachel Blaser. I just started blogging and found your blog while linking up other friends to my new blog. I was wondering why I had not seen you guys in church in so long. I can't believe I had not heard you were sick! That's what I get for being stuck in primary every week. But I'm so glad you are feeling better now. You are absolutely amazing!
P.S. You can link to our blog at http://brettandrachelblaser.blogspot.com/
Sorry it's pretty lame. I just started!
