 Madsen Siblings

Madsen siblings and spouses

I am goin to miss Aunt Debra so so much. I along with many others had a very hard time with her death. I love that she is not in pain anymore and doesn't have to suffer anymore. From the moment I met Aunt Debra she has been the sweetest lady ever.. she would have done anything for anyone. At the funeral Mike told a story of his mother and he was telling us a few years back all of the Madsen siblings were on vacation and they were walkin back to their hotel one night and they had passed some hookers on the street and everyone was kinda lookin around at each other and once they got back to the hotel they were talkin about the hookers and how could anyone do that and Aunt Debra was like who are you guys talkin about and they had mentioned the hookers that they had passed and she was like "oh those nice young pretty ladies" hahaha she never saw the bad in people and was always positive..Kristyn, Tom, Jake and I got the privelage to sing " If the Savior stood Beside me" and it was such a pretty accompaniment. I kept thinkin about her 4 little grandchildren and how sad for them to lose a grandma at their young age. I lost my Grandma Blad when I was 8 and I feel like she has been gone forever. I'm so grateful for the memories that I made with her and I'm sure that those grandchildren will be raised knowin her as if she is still here. She was such a beautiful lady who will be missed so much. Aunt Debra give my mom a hug for me as I'm hopin you guys have already met. Can't wait to be with you again. xoxoxo

Someone*

Someone I love lost their baby yesterday. Someone I love lost their life last night. Someone I know took their life yesterday.  Someone who was apart of my life for 14 years- whom I called grandma lost their life last week.Two people that I love are getting a divorce.  Someone I love lost someone they love over the weekend. Why is Pandora playin so many sad songs today?? I have so many emotions right now..just when I start stressing about money and where and when Jake will get a job I have to sit back and just enjoy everyone and everything in my life. In times as this I always refer back to the quote "I never said it would be easy, I only said it would be worth it"... I hate that when it rains... it pours! Sorry this is such a downer post... I feel like curling up in a ball with Pais and just crying...apart of me loves crying.. its very theraputic for me and healthy. I hate that so many people I love are in pain right now. I wish I could take the pain away from them. I do love the fact that I get to see so many loved ones soon despite why were there.. This is just another testimony to me that I ask myself- "am I doin the things I need to to get where I'm goin and to be with my loves someday?" Am I being the person and treatin people with love and respect that would maybe save a life?  Am I being the kind of wife that I want/need to be so that the "thought" never crosses Jake's mind. Life is so so good my friends and we need to cherish everyday life, and the people who our in our lives before its to late...I love my life and the people who are in it and I love to meet new people everyday and to hear their stories. Thanks for letting me jaunt down my thoughts. AMEN.

Grandma Dot Knott*

This would be my awesomest Grandma Dot Knott (don't you love that:) she is the. funnest. funniest. ever!! When we were up visitin Jakes grandpa Jack in the hospital in Salt Lake we surprised my grandma with a visit. She would murder me if she knew I posted this picture of her. She had never met Paisley so we just had to visit her. Plus I hardly ever get to see her so I thought since I was in the area I we had to stop by and see her. I love her so very much. She is seriously the funnest grandma ever. We were blessed growin up to be able to do lots of fun things with my Knott family. Lake Powell, river rafting, campin at Coalville, and many other memories:) I will miss her dearly when her time comes to go back and be with my grandpa, my mom, her son steven, and many more family! I am tryin my hardest everyday to make sure I will be with them again someday:) Thats just something I don't want to miss out on! Love you Grandma Knott!!
p.s. don't you love how Pais is smilin in our 3 generation pic? That was right when she started smilin and I was so glad we got it in this picture.

TRUST

We got this quote a couple weeks ago in church and I LOVE it!

"You show your trust in Him when you listen with the intent to learn and repent and then you go and do whatever He asks. If you trust God enough to listen for His message in every sermon, song, and prayer in this conference, you will find it. And if you then go and do what He would have you do, your power to trust Him will grow, and in time you will be overwhelmed with gratitude to find that He has come to trust you."

  -Pres.Henry B Erying

Can't wait for conference this weekend! I always come away with a whole new lookout on life and just fresh!!
