Convenience Doesn't Always Make Things Easier

Joss, Kaybri and myself went with friends camping this past weekend. The closest thing to camping that we've done in years is when we stayed in a camp trailer in Primary Children's RV Parking for several weeks last fall. Not exactly my idea of a relaxing vacation. This weekend, we were able to go fishing and four-wheeling. It was really nice to escape the world momentarily. Kaybri caught her first fish and loved it! A HUGE thank you to Joss' parents for giving us their camp trailer as a gift after Brody passed away. Its been a blast so far! We anticipate going again this coming weekend.

Its been really weird to just get up and go somewhere with limited planning. Joss and I are strange because we actually really miss the hospital scene. Joss' sister was a little upset to her stomach last week and we were practically begging her to let us take her to the hospital. Its been such a huge lifestyle change. I guess you can say that things are a little more convenient, but I wouldn't say they are any easier. We miss him so much and think of him constantly. However, we feel like he is with us in many of our daily activities. Even if he's not right by our side physically, we know he is spiritually. And he's always in our hearts and in our prayers.

Good for you guys! Sounds like you had a good trip. I am amazed that Kaybri didn't tell me about her fish yesterday. I will have to ask her!

My best childhood memories were of camping. We are so lucky to live and grow up in such a nice place. I come home Monday for almost a month! I would love to dutch oven with you guys while I am home.
