The value of a great husband...

is priceless. Our family has thoroughly enjoyed having Stan physically and mentally present over the past several weeks. We knew having him in school, working full-time, and having a busy calling would be hard on our family but you never actually know how hard until you are trying to live through it. He just completed the first half of his MBA program and passed his big test! He is taking a break for a while and we are so grateful. I can't even begin to say how much I appreciate how much he helps me. Feeling like a single mom is so hard. I really respect those women who really are single moms. This post is just to praise Stan and his valiants efforts! He always wants to help and be supportive and now he gets to do it and it is so much appreciated by me and the kids! We love our husband and dad so much and are so grateful to have whatever time we get to have with him before he decides to finish the rest of his schooling.

One week

Only a week left until Stan and I are enjoying some sun and heat on the beautiful island of Oahu! I can't wait. The kids are also excited to spend a week with grandma and grandpa Wright.
And while I'm posting, I'll share our most exciting news:
A baby boy will be joining our family sometime in early September! We are all super excited. I was extremely relieved to find out he is healthy so far and growing as he should be. This is the first time we've ever found out the gender prior to birth. I'm excited to think of names. Joel has one suggestion he is stuck on. I actually like it too. I feel compelled to name this boy after someone in our family line with a really neat story. I'm on the hunt. Anyone who reads this that is related to us can offer suggestions...

LOVE this movie

They've just released a new version of the Joseph Smith movie online. It's awesome! A great way for others who aren't familiar with the beginnings of the restored Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the doctrines.
