A week of great things

We had a great week of exciting things.
1st, Eliza told me Monday that she was ready to start riding a 2 wheeler, so that night I took her to the local school and I took off her training wheels.  I helped her once get started and she was off.  She was awesome and just rode and rode and rode.  I taught her how to stop.  She loves it and I am so proud of her. 
2nd.  My dad received a letter from BYU telling him he has been nominated for a prestigious award called the alumni award.  They are honoring him for his good work and service throughout his life.  They will honor him at the homecoming this year with tickets to the game, extravaganza, luncheon and accommodations.  Other recipients of this award have been Ezra Taft Benson, Steven Covey, Dallin H. Oaks and now Gordon Carter.  I am so proud of him and the legacy he is leaving us.
3rd.  David got his scores back and he passed!!!!!!!!!
4th.  We got our assignment for clinical rotations and we are moving to Detroit, MI.  We are super excited to be finally living in our stuff in our own little house.  We are on to our next step.  Yeah.
Some weeks are bad, car break down, kids sick, dirty house, too busy... but then there are weeks like this.  We are so blessed and know that Heavenly Father is watching over us and has His hand in our life.  We are so blessed!
