When we were down in Farmington in February for Justin's funeral the girls got a chance to go see their Aunt Deena and Uncle Dale's new horse, Cricket. We didn't tell them that we were going and they were really excited when they saw the horse. It was nice to have something to cheer the girls up a little since it had been such a hard week for them. Kayla didn't want to stop riding, but Aly wouldn't go near him at first. Once we were back at their house and the horse was put away Aly changed her mind and Uncle Dale was nice enough to take her back out to have another chance. Thanks for letting us ride Cricket Deena and Dale!

Uncle Dale actually convinced her to get on!

The day after we got home from our trip our friend Alli came and decorated our door with messages from our ward. It was really sweet and it really meant a lot to us.
I can't believe that it has already been over 2 months since we lost our sweet little Justin. People keep asking us how we are doing and I don't really know what to say. We'll never get over losing Justin so I don't know what anyone is expecting us to say.
Not long after we got back from the funeral Joe had to go back to work and we had to go on with life whether we wanted to or not. That included searching for a new house to live in. Our lease at our rental is ending and we decided that now was the time to buy. After looking at a ton of houses and having offers refused, we finally found a house that we love. It has just about everything that we want in a house and we are really excited about moving the end of May. The girls are excited to get their own rooms and choose what colors they want to paint. Getting a new house has given us something to look forward to.
