Some unfortunate news...


As many of you likely know by now, we got some unfortunate news this week about Dad. After not feeling well for several weeks, Dad's been diagnosed with colon cancer. Doctors performed surgery Thursday evening in hopes of getting a handle on things, but it didn't turn out quite that way. The surgeon found more progressed and widespread tumors than we had hoped.

Even with this news, we know there's a bigger plan and that things are going to work out as they are supposed to. We have faith that Heavenly Father is in charge and that He will see us all through this tough time. We really appreciate all the concern and well wishes that have already been expressed. We hope you'll keep in touch through this blog, which may be the easiest way to keep everyone updated in the days and weeks ahead.
