Internet

I can't seem to get 2 of the 3 computers in the house to work.
I think that I have a virus of some kind and now it has killed my HP and MAC.
Nathans computer is the only one that works and he uses it for school so I don't use it, sssoooo...this is it.
Have a great week.

Family Trip

I know how hot it can get here in Arizona and frankly, I don't care. It is only hot here for 3 months out of the year. Right now we are going through a cold spell, we are getting all the rain and cold wind from the coast from California. I know that all of you who live in colder climates know what I am talking about. For as funny as it sounds, it feels pretty good and yet my toes are falling off and my teeth are chattering!

So, for heaven sakes, get off your butts and come visit us in "warmer" Arizona. Kenji for heaven sakes works for an airlines that is giving our family the opportunity to travel. Mom and dad, you are free...for heaven sakes, it isn't a big deal.

The rain is fabulous, northern Arizona is getting pounded with snow and because nobody knows how to drive in it, the DOT is closing the freeways (its quite humorous).

Arizona has a brand new transportation transit that is awesome. We took it just to take it and it is great for downtown Phoenix and Tempe. We can take it to go downtown and hang out and visit the city for a day. There are awesome places to hike and lots of fun things to do. Mexico is only 3 hours away. I found my passport and it is still good through the end of 2010 so I'm going to Mexico :o) Lets go...ole, ole!

I don't want to visit other family members that are here, hence the other Parker side...they don't even care that we are here because they are all caught up in their business and lives which is perfectly fine with me. But Andrew and I are here so what the heck...come on...it'll be fun.

We'd like to visit ya all. Nathan is in school and has to be there every Thursday night so that is my time to party, clean house and watch on TV what I want to watch, CSI and Survivor for starters! I have over a month of vacation to use. I am paying off student loans so I can't travel anywhere...if I didn't have that dumb thing, I'd be going every where.

Kenji, I think I'm going to take you up on a visit in either MI or NJ. You pick, I can give you $100, it ain't no big deal and I've never been there so heck, why not!

Why don't we all save up our money and visit Kenji in May for a few days. It'll be fun! There has got to be something that we can do there!

Oh well, enough of being on my soap box. Dad has money to pay off other peoples trips so he should pay for every ones trip, hahahahaha :o)

Have a great day.

Incredible blessings...

I am not going into any details here, so it may be foolish to write it here, but I have to express to anyone who may read this that I have a testimony that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ really loves us each individually. That they know each and everyone of us personally and knows what we need in our lives. The last week here has been especially hard for me, I had an important decision to make. This was a step-in-to-the-dark kind of decision that will affect my life, the kids' lives, and much more, so it was kind of big. I actually thought that I had made the decision Wednesday night, and I tried to go to sleep (pretty unsuccessfully,by the way) and on Thursday morning went back to the original decision to really think it out again from another point of view only to find that this point of view really did change the face of what I was looking at. I made the opposite decision from the night before and began implementing it right away. I had the decision confirmed to me the next day, it was NOT immediate people, I had to walk a few steps in the dark. Thursday I committed to my decision and in the middle of the day on Friday, I received a revelation for me personally that made me feel better about the decision. One that changed my point of view once again on the decision, the process I was to take and began to light my way forward. Friday, I had it confirmed to me that I had made the right decision and I was to move forward in faith, knowing that I had listened to the Lord's promptings!! I have never had that kind of confirmation before. Saturday was our Stake Relief Society Conference in which I played my flute with the choir. In this meeting, 2 of the addresses given confirmed my decision. The next day at church, it was confirmed yet again to me in the Sunday School lesson and the Relief Society lesson. Now today is Monday and Satan has already tried to make me doubt that I need to go to all the "trouble" that is in my part of my decision. That I can do it on my own without implementing my portion of the path that is laid out before me. I think that this decision will affect more generations down the road to receive such confirmation and such an immediate attack from the adversary! I have begun my part in this path, I will continue on the way that I decided on, I will hold to this incredible testimony, and we will be better than ok. We will be an eternal family!

Please keep us in your prayers as we go to battle against the adversary who already is attacking us on our new path.

RE: Arizona Cardinal

These were our tickets and parking pass to park right by the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale.

Uncle Jeff let us have them. He is awesome. If I am not mistaken, he raffled off the rest of the season tickets to his schools and community!

Nathan and I got to go to the 1st Preseason Arizona Cardinal 2008-09 game. Now look where they are; Tamp Bay, FL for Superbowl XLIII.


Love,

Nathan & Karen
