June 17th, 2023 mom passed away from complications from covid. She had developed sepsis and a lung infection that her lungs just couldn't recover from. After two weeks in the hospital,  she passed peacefully with many loved ones beside her able to tell her we would see her when she wakes up. 

So it has been rough that I am the last one in my family. I'm waiting to see my dad, mom and brother. But my hubby and kids have been amazing and I thank Jehovah’s kindness for providing such support. 

We rushed and did a memorial for her for the following Saturday because conventions and pioneer schools and so many things were going on, and we felt it was better to help everyone move forward to do it right away. 

In other news, I had been loosing weight, lost 60 lbs, then my thyroid went wonky and I gained it all back grrrr, so the day after our May 13th anniversary lunch with the kids, I started on keto. As of today I have lost 95 lbs. And I have a long way to go yet, but I'm keeping on this bullet train and making things happen. I am extremely strict keto.  Not the light keto like many people do. 

Whatever I can do to ease some health issues. 

Last super exciting days we are living. So many adjustments,  tweaks, and so much help to strengthen us,  teach us, mold us, and reflect our Father's shine.
