"If ya scared, go to church"

Today was a really really great day…britton kept on saying "if you're scared, go to church." which is from a rap we used to sing.

Okay, but first of all…I get home last night, walk into my mom and dad's room to grab something before I went up to bed, and Greyson is sleeping on the couch in their room, Ledger is on the bed with britt, and my mom and dad are in their bed. All of them. sleeping in the same room. This has been an on going thing. And then I'm the outcast, left to fend for myself and sleep upstairs alone….hmm. cool.

So today, it was great. We all got ready in my moms room cause that is what we do on sundays. I guess our family just has this weird thing with congregating together all in the same room. But anyway, it was so great to be rushing, and yelling at each other and chasing my brothers around the room to get them to comb their hair and put on their church clothes. It was a typical sunday morning. BUT WE WERENT EVEN LATE TO CHURCH. that….was not typical by any means. It was so good to be sitting together in church with each other again. its been a long time coming. I couldn't help but sit there and think back on those first couple of weeks, me and my mom and two younger brothers in sacrement trying to hold back our tears and the anxiety of not knowing what might be going on at the hospital…praying our phones didn't go off with my dads name on the screen. Those were some really tough days. I am so glad we are past that.

And then looking around at the incredible ward family we have. I couldn't help but tear up. Their prayers, and dinners, and service, and love, and constant support…has been so special, and has meant so much to us. You could tell everyone was so glad to see britt back. And ohhhhhhh he looked so handsome, all dressed up.

We sat at home, watched baseball, lounged around, ate chocolate chip cookies, did some workouts with therapist autumn and her assistant sommer, they are highly skilled and trained therapists…if you were wondering.

Then Britt's friend Seth came over to hang out with him for awhile, which he loved!! And his friends Kaleb and Brenton came and got him to take him on a ride. It was his first outing with friends, me and my mom walked in the house and looked at each other and were like…"aweeeeeee." It means so much, not only to him, but us. Because britt loves his friends so much, all he talks about is wanting to see them and hang out with them all day! He just wants to be normal and be with the bros like old times. So for them to do those little things, means the world and so much more.

Thank you for all the prayers! They are working, every minute of every day. Thank you for all the sweet comments, on the blog and everywhere else. They mean so much to me.

Today i am especially grateful for my Savior and loving Heavenly Father. They have given me more than i could have ever imagined or ever deserved. God's love for us is unimaginable and undefinable. The savior knows us each, as individuals, by name, he knows our weaknesses and our strengths, our sorrows and our joy. He is there to help us, the heal us and to guide us when we cannot do it alone. He is there for us in our darkest hours and greatest achievements. He loves us, and he lives.
