I realized that my family truly loves me without knowing me and that is a beautiful thing. At first, this really freaked me out, and I immediately thought that they wanted something from me.

I found out the next morning that I experienced my first earthquake - pretty exciting for a Colorado girl.

Sara, just read your email and blog tonight. I miss you, but am so excited at what the Lord is doing in your life. The kids are all doing well, Judah is growing and maturing. I'm sorry for not praying for you like I should, I'll step it up. I'll write to you soon.
Sean
Miss your smiling face. Your stories are so fun, heart warming, and exciting. You truly are an example for all to follow. How exciting to see someone living out that which many of us can only dream about because we are too afraid. Thanks for letting me live this experience through you.
