Life as of late.

I wish I could say I haven't posted in as while because we've been off to doing amazing things, but sadly that isn't true (although I still need to post about Logan's field trip).  Pretty sure I won't be winning mom of the year award this year! FAR too much tv, ds playing, and eating out and not enough playing outside and other grand adventures.  I have been feeling a little bit better, but this first trimester is still kicking my butt.  I have been feeling a *little* bit better, but it was just in time for Kurt to leave to go to a 4 day conference in San Jose.  He is still sleeping at home but that is about it.  He leaves before the kids wake up and comes home hours after they are in bed.  Hoping to have him back home by Friday... Although lucky for me my other reinforcements will be arriving tomorrow evening.

Kurt's brother Ryan, his parents, and all of Ryan's stuff are making the trek from Utah tomorrow.  I'm sure it will be an adjustment having Ryan here, but it will be fun too!  Also, I love when Kurt's mom is here.  I swear a dish is never in the sink longer than 10 minutes and Kurt somehow talks her into making a mountain of homemade pies.  Gotta love Nancy. :)

And for journaling purposes...our dear friend Brother Kwok passed away on Sunday, October 16th.  The Kwoks were some of our first friends and closest LDS neighbors when we lived in Union City.  They were pretty much Logan's Chinese grandparents.  Logan would often leave our pew at church to go sit with Sister Kwok. Brother Kwok had also been serving in the Bishopric for the last 5 years.

Colin also gave us great financial advice (he was the VP of Finance at a large computer company).  In fact just a couple weeks ago Kurt and I called him for advice regarding our move to Japan.  They lived overseas a couple different times with children, so we thought they'd have some helps for us.  We're still in shock over his passing.  He was only in his late 50s, exercised every day, ate healthy, etc.  Then one morning he just didn't wake up. It kind of puts things into perspective that really none of us really know how when our earthly life will be completed.  I am also very thankful for the knowledge that I have that families are forever.  That not only will Colin be reunited with his wife, children, and grandchildren, but that I will also get to see my dad and other family members again.
