It was a great week! Bethany performed in her play on Monday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. She did great! AND her body didn't let her down so that she could do it. Hurrah! I watched the last half on Thursday, Megan and Ammon watched Friday night (I got to watch Micah!), and Savannah, Kevin, Ben, and I were all there for closing night! Together we gave a standing ovation! We clapped for all the great performances, but Bethany was our favorite! She is very tired from this week but enjoyed it so much. I am so grateful!

Benjamin was sick all the way through Wednesday! So when they said five to seven days, Ben went the whole gamut all the way to seven. Poor kid. That fever just did not want to break. Once it did, Ben was nervous to go back to school because he'd been away so long! Still, he bit the bullet and went Thursday. He reported that his teachers were happy to see him back. I'm so glad his teachers like him. I sure do like him! On Saturday, he, Beth, and Kevin went to the nickel arcade and Chik-fil-A. They had a good time.

I went to a training in Ogden on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. It was an hour and a half drive each way, but it was worth it! I am now trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). Basically I can now help people let go of the negative emotions related to past experiences. They keep the knowledge of the event but lose the pain. It's incredibly effective and has the potential to bring so much joy back into a person's life. I love it. I also love that my family was so supportive of me doing it. It was expensive and I was very absent for three days but everyone was super encouraging. I'm so blessed.

Kevin and Savannah have both been struggling with headaches this week but have still been able to do their work. They are hanging in there.
