March 2012

On March 11th mom called and said that Grandma Miller had a stroke and wasn't doing very well. I told mom I wanted to talk to Grandma on the phone. (I was thinking that she would pass later that night). Mom said that she wasn't alert and that she would call back and when she became more alert. I received a call later that afternoon and mom put the phone up to her ear and I told Grandma that we loved her and we were thinking about her and to just rest. mom said that she opened her eyes and tried really hard to talk back to me, but that she recognized my voice. Not even a few hours later while I was making dinner Nichol phoned me and told me Grandma had passed away in her sleep. I thought that she was going to pass through that night. Jared found Spencer and me a flight to Utah on Wed the 13th and we would be back on Mon the 19th of March, which was Grandma birthday. Jared had to stay home to get the keys to our new place. I'm so glad that I was able to be there for the funeral. I would have regretted it, if I wouldn't have flew home. It was good to see my family again and I even got to see my new niece McKenna. Jared's parents were out of town and didn't get back until Sat night. We went over for dinner and a visit on Sunday so it was nice to see them. We flew back home on Monday and had to spend the next week getting ready to move.

Update on Pike Family

The last few months have been very busy. On January 25th we found out that we are having another boy. I think Spencer is getting excited. He gives my belly kisses and say's baby. It is cute. Also in Feb we decided not to buy a house and to find a rental. Jared found out that when he can hotel he will only have to come to the office 2 times a year so we decided to rent for a couple more years and than decide where we want to be. We found a rental at the end of February and we took possession on the 15th of March, we figured we could take small loads and we would move the furniture (with the ward help) on the 24th of March.
