The month is flying....

Wow, it does not seem like the middle of July already. We went to San Diego on a very quick trip. It was busy but fun in a good way. The bad thing was that we felt bad that we were away from Michael on his birthday. Justin spent 5.5 hours the day we got there being drilled about the deposition for the next day and then spent the entire following day from 9:30 AM until after 5 PM being grilled with 5 different attorney's. I had to laugh though as one of them said, I was so intimidating that he wanted me removed from the building. I never even spoke to the man. Talk about paranoid! That made me laugh.

Justin was so tired (more emotional and mental) that he started having muscle spasms. We had wanted to drive to Los Angeles to see our friend Ginger before she had spinal surgery two days later. We were not able to do it and we felt so bad. We really wanted to see the Vargas family as well. Main thing is that the surgery went well and she is doing well and hopefully on the road to getting back to living life to the fullest.

Justin and I completed our temple preparation class. On the 29th of June, he was sustained an elder and we are going to Idaho to see Keven, Monique and the girls in a week or so. Keven is so looking forward to being able to ordain Justin. Michael this past Sunday, was sustained as a deacon in the Aaronic Priesthood. Once Justin is ordained then he and Keven and a couple of other friends will then ordain Michael. While in Idaho we are hoping to be able to visit the Twin Falls Temple Open House. Justin is excited as he will be able to see inside and maybe not be so nervous about going to the temple. I know that the girls are excited to see Michael and we will have a great time when we visit.

Michael was excited as once we returned home from San Diego. He was able to stay with his friend, Abel while we were gone. He had a blast, but was happy we were back. We got his present and he was so excited to get a new bike. We had felt so bad that the bike that we had for him was taken by someone that we allowed to live with us. He really likes the bike and should be good for a few years unless he gets tall really quick. Here he is posing with his new bike.

I periodically take care of a friend's baby. His name is Dominic and he is such a sweet spirit. He loves to laugh and smile. What a special baby. Wish his parents took better care of him but they are very young and their priorities are not what they should be. I say prayers that he is protected. Here he is sleeping......

Justin is doing great with his injuries. He should be able to return to work at the beginning of August. He is getting excited about returning to work so I think he enjoy heading back. He will be on light duty for at least a month once he returns as he still needs to regain his strength in the right leg and lower back. The goal in the next couple of weeks is to stop using his cane. I know that the Lord with bless him with the ability to get this done.

We are enjoying some really nice and comfortable weather right now. We have had a couple of hot days but nothing unbearable. We will let you know more of our adventures from Idaho. We are also working on going to the temple for the first time and being sealed. We will let everyone know what the plans are as soon as we make the decisions.
