Second year Day 134 - Friday April 26, 2013

Today we got up and visited with Tyler while he got the car loaded up to leave to drill.  They will drill in Helena again this month.  He borrowed Bridgett's car and she was very happy to have someone driving it!  I forgot to mention that she and I took it into town for some errands on Wednesday.  She asked me how fast from 0 to 60 her car goes. I don't know I said, but when I pulled out on the highway I punched it and held the pedal to the floor until we hit 70 (the speed limit on the highway).  She was SO EXCITED!  Of course, I know she remembers that feeling, and loves it.  She kept commenting on what a great car it was etc.  Then, on the way home she asked me if she could drive it down the driveway.  I said, well maybe dad ought to be with you the first time you drive since your wreck.  Just in the driveway, she said.  I remember how to drive you know!  Well, you call dad and ask him I said.  So, she called Mark and he said...I want to be with you the first time so you need to wait.  Bummer, she said!  But, she accepted it just fine (thank goodness!).   Oh, I forgot to mention this...it was so nice.....at conference on Sunday Stephany and I saw some people that we know and hadn't seen for quite a while and gave them hugs.  When we saw our old bishop, Steve Perrone, we gave him a hug and talked for a bit.  Then he said, you know we pray for Bridgett every day.  We pray for your family every day.  Oh thanks, I said.  We really need those prayers and we are thankful to everyone who prays for us!  And I want to say thanks to everyone reading this blog.  Thanks for your prayers in Bridgett's behalf and our behalf.  I know that the Lord is blessing her!  I really don't mean to whine about things, when I do.  I am so thankful for her life being spared!  I am so thankful that we can have her spirit around us! I do know that the Lord is blessing her and blessing us!  Life is always changing, many times the unexpected happens.  But, whatever happens, we just keep focused and keep going.  Endure to the end.  That's what we're trying to do.  And please....keep up the prayers and keep putting her name in the temple!!
