An Abundance of Love

We are overwhelmed with the outpouring of love we have experienced in the last 2 weeks. Thank you to everyone who have thought of us, prayed for us, texted me, or dropped something by. Our hearts are overflowing with love and appreciation for all of you.

We had a couple different people do 14 days of Valentine's for us. It was so fun to receive a treat and/or little something special everyday to remind us we have an army of people who love Nick and our family and are cheering us on. It was humbling to have such an abundance of love shown to us.

In addition to the 14 days of Valentine's, we had a surprise last night- Valentine's night! We live in an incredible neighborhood and it is divided into 2 wards ( the 8th ward and our ward the 9th ward). The youth and leaders from the 8th ward surprised us last night with a visit. They brought LEO the Lion from REAL Salt Lake Soccer and gift baskets for everyone. It was awesome to see some of Nick and Alex's friends in that group and it was great to feel the love and concern they had for Nick. WOW! They sang the REAL Song and it was a really special experience. Nick has had a couple fairly rough days, a pretty bad tummy ache and nausea and the visit was really great. He needed it! Heck- we all needed it!

I can't even begin to express our appreciation and love for you all. I tear up thinking of all the acts of charity that we have been the recipient of over the course of the last 5 months. It is so overwhelming. They are all appreciated, whether it was a meal, a card, a treat, a fundraiser, a gift - we LOVE and appreciate every act, we LOVE and appreciate everyone of you! Thank you for  lifting us up as we traverse this difficult path. Thank you for helping, caring, loving and praying. We could not have made it this far without you- THANK YOU!
