The Journey to Become

By -
I know I don't do this much but ... here it is my 2ND real blog post. Crazy ... I know. Well this past week Nicole and I had the wonderful opportunity to speak in our new ward. I won't go into to much detail about, what I must say were our amazing talks, but I was grateful for the opportunity to reflect on life and the wonderful blessing I enjoy in my life. Life really is a journey to become ... to become a better individual and develop talents and passions to the fullest. I am so grateful for the opportunity that I have to pursue dreams. Often the greatest rewards lie in the greatest struggles. I love the poem by Robert Frost:



Two roads diverged in a wood,
And I -
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the
Difference.

Life will often present two roads ... possibly two roads that will get you to where you want to be. Often one though, will be more challenging and push you to your limits and you will wonder why you even took the road to begin with when the other was less challenging and goes to the same place. However, would you have been the same person had you taken that road? I am coming to realize in a very personal way, the Road less Traveled By, really does and can make all the difference in Life's journey of BECOMING.

Thanks babe for all your love and support you've given me and continue to do so, as I take on this bumpy and rough road! I love you tons!

This is an amazing artist who wrote a song called "Drifting." I love it and thought it worked well with the thought of fun, peaceful times on Life's Journey. Enjoy it!

She's here!

Hello Family and Friends! If you haven't heard yet, our little baby girl Adalyn was born Tuesday, March 15th at about 2pm. She was born by emergency C-section (they knocked Nicole all the way out because there wasn't time for anything else) and was under a lot of distress. After a wonderful blessing from her Grandpa Hicken and Daddy she was life flighted to McKay-Dee Hospital in Ogden. She is still in the NICU there but is making great strides each and every day.  Her mommy and daddy named her Adalyn Julene Anderson-- after her great grandma Anderson (Julene). She has already blessed their lives immensely and she has benefited so much from prayers and fasts of family and friends. She has a long road ahead of her, but she is a fighter! Her grandpa Hicken calls her his little Millie- because she is a miracle baby and in Spanish, miracle is Milagro. She is a miracle and we are so happy to have her.  Love you all!

Delivery Day

By -
Well folks- it's D-Day! After talking some more and discussing with us- our doctors (a team of OBs and Perinatologists) have decided that it is best for baby boy not to have any risks with the placenta and come today. So- He's going to be very early- they will have completed the steroids though, so that is helpful. But we all feel that this is the very best thing for HIM. I'll have a c-section- hopefully regular this time- this afternoon and we will have a baby boy by this evening. He will go straight to the NICU and we'll just see how he does to know more about how long he will be there. Again, thank you all for your comments, prayers, texts, phone calls. We appreciate all of you and your love and support for us! Love you all- remember we are in His hands. And who's better to be in.
