I don't know if this video will work, but it's awesome.

We miss you Big Deal. Everyday.

Dan

Has spent 6 days thinking about all the things Dan won't get to do. Tomorrow, I am ready to focus on all the amazing things he did.

Good Bye 2011.

I have learned two valuable lessons in 2011.

1. Make sure every person who matters in your life knows it.

2. There is no such thing as cryproof mascara.

Wishing my friends and family a year full of health and happiness, and keeping those who need it in my thoughts and prayer.

My Heart is Heavy.

Today is a horrible day. Our family is now facing one of the saddest things we have ever had to deal with.

Our phone rang early this morning, with a confused friend who had heard a terrible story. I was quickly phoning around, praying that it wasn't true, but it was. Cody has lost a childhood friend, a groomsman, and a great influence in his life.

Our friend Dan was called to a fire early this morning as a volunteer fire fighter. The fire was not something that would have been considered more dangerous than many other calls he had been one, but for some reason, today, Dan was taken from us. Today also marks 2 months since his wedding.

We have never had to deal with something so huge, and painful, and I hope it is a long time before we ever have to again.

We miss you already Dan.
