Marcus Buddy, I know life has thrown you a curve (no pun intended) ball the last two years, and it has been a hard blow to deal with, but I have faith in you. You will be back on track before you know it. It's ok if your faith is shaken, I have some to spare. I know it's been awhile since you have had to lean on someone, but it's ok to lean on me for a little while 'til you feel you can be back on your own solid ground!Thanks for 21 years of great memories! Thanks for being the practice child, thanks for forgiving all my mistakes. You have been amazing at learning how to be the best big brother ever, and letting me learn to be a mom!
I love you Boy!

Where have I been lately? Oh, wait. I've been working, sleeping, purging, packing, and stressing! I just realized I haven't commented on your last few posts. Sorry.
What wonderful times you have had recently. Krysta is a beautiful graduate! Happy Birthday to your kids! I might have to copy your birthday post idea. Katee is at the fun D age - dating and driving. Wow. Has Dano's mission call arrived yet? And how is Marcus' health?
Hmm, it's time for another phone call. Love you, sis! I'm glad your kids have friends like we are!
Tasha, that was so touching! Give Marcus a hug for me! We didn't bring Elli to Utah with us, she ended up staying home with her Grandma J and her Gigi (great grandma). It's better that way....we'll call you later this week when Elli does come down. Love ya!
