We have been talking about in Relief Society this year about recognizing the Lord's Hand in our lives. I feel like I've had so many experiences where I've felt His help in my life. Today was no exception. The boys were very cranky this morning. I was doing my hair in the bathroom and they were both playing in Daven's room with the train table. They do this all the time. Well, all of a sudden, I heard this huge crashing noise and Logan started screaming and crying. Mike was on the phone in his office. We both flew to Daven's room to find the dresser toppled over. I was in a state of shock. I couldn't believe it, though, Daven was fine. He just kept saying, "sorry, sorry, sorry" Logan had one of the drawers stuck on his shins, but I was amazed because, had he been 6 inches closer to the dresser, he would have had the entire weight of it on him, not to mention the objects (piggy bank, lamp) that fell off of it. I was stunned. I kept thinking, how were they so protected & I felt very grateful. We still don't know how it happened. Daven was trying to change his pants. I'm wondering if he pulled on an open drawer for balance. I kept asking what happened and told him that mommy wasn't mad. I was just glad they were both okay. But, he doesn't remember how it happened. After this, I said, we need to say a prayer to Heavenly Father to thank him for protecting us.
The other thing I have been thinking about a lot lately is friends. I am posting a picture of all (well some) of us when we went out to dinner for Tasha's good-bye dinner. She moved to Utah about 3 weeks ago. I miss her so much. She was one of those friends you could count on for anything and someone that knew me pretty darn well, so you could tell her anything. But, I feel so lucky to have such fun friends. It makes me feel like the Lord's hand has definately been in my life this way. When we first moved here, I wanted friends so bad and wanted to leave Arizona and go back to Texas. But, now, I'm not sure I want to go (if that time comes, I am not making any announcements.)

SCARY!!! I am so glad he is okay!
You girls all look so cute in your picutre! That stinks that Tasha moved. Moving is such a huge adjustment. I had no idea! Thankfully I live in an awesome area.
UGH! Every time I hear about the dresser incident, I get a knot in my stomach!
And I love our group of friends too! No one can ever move again. I'm still mad at Tasha.
I know she'll read these comments -- since she called me this morning to tell me not ot blame the plumbing problem on Tanner -- and she said it was SNOWING! IN April? UGH!
