Family Update

Well, everything is good with the Resch Family, just completely busy! Sarah's been sick with the cold/flu and I had to take work off last Friday to take care of her. Grandma Resch took care of Sarah the next day when I headed to rehearsals, thank goodness!

Jordan and Anna built the stage for our show last Friday and it looks awesome!! I helped a little, when Grandma Resch came to watch Sarah while I went to the church to help with set. But, Jordan was the main worker on this project and Anna was the grunt worker and did whatever Jordan told her to do. Hillary Sorensen, our dear friend and cast member from the ward, helped for most of the day as well. We love you Hillary!!!

Sarah is all better now, thank goodness! She is running around the house being as cute as can be. When she asks a question, she scrunches her nose and points at things saying, "that?" It is so adorable!! Her hair is also getting really long, but on top it still is shorter. Poor thing has a mullet of the 80's!! But, I've learned to adapt and she is wearing a lot of piggy tails now.

My childhood friend, Whitney Madison (Madson) McKennie took her life this week. It's been a little hard for me to accept she's gone, but I know she's in a better place. She's just a year older than me, no kids, but she left behind a husband. I just hope the despair and depression she felt when she left this life aren't carried over into the next. I truly hope she finds peace and happiness. She will be missed dearly by many, me included. Her funeral is Saturday and Sarah and I are planning to attend.

Tomorrow we have another rehearsal and I'm looking forward to it. Something normal I can lean onto this week. I hope my cast does a great job, which I know they will the second runthrough, but most likely not the first run through. Humph! We're getting there!!

Jordan is good, as always. He had Monday and Tuesday off and he made shelves for the garage. Now we have an organized garage that we can easily park two cars in without worrying if the passenger will be able to get out of the car once we pull in. Nice!!

Jon is doing well on his mission. He is learning the language and really embracing the culture of the people in the Philippines. He's a smart kid and I wish him all the best on his mission!! God speed Elder!

Gee, I can't wait for spring to come!!! Go away snow and please come rain!!! (I love the smell of rain!!)

My Little Cougar

Well, I think Anna has converted Sarah into a Y fan, don't you agree? She's so cute!! I didn't even have a chance to teach her to be an Aggie yet!!! I tried teaching her the word, "Aggie", but all she'll says is, "cougar". Poor child, she's going to be biased for the rest of her life. Thanks Anna.

Sarah's Princess Chair

Sarah got a pink princess chair yesterday! It finally came in the mail! When I pulled it out of the box and told her that it was her very own chair, the biggest, cutest smile plastered on her face. She immediately grabbed all her stuffed animals and her blanket and sat down in her very own chair! It was so cute!!

Jordan, Anna, and I have been working hard the last few days getting our stage done. Jordan, the amazing stage tech he is (he has absolutely no experience so I had to teach him) is putting together an extension of the stage. I told him what I wanted and he is building it out of pallets. On top of the pallet stacks we are putting flat particle board which is pictured below. Jordan and Anna painted for hours, in my garage, on Wednesday till it was done. The end product...a very fine top pieces of a stage!

Mark the Date!

Valentines Trip

Sarah and I went up to Logan and left Daddy (Jordan) home for Valentines day this weekend. This was the first weekend, since the beginning of January, that I didn't have a rehearsal....so....Logan I went! I haven't seen my family since Christmas and I couldn't pass up this opportunity.


Sarah also learned a new word. Deer, or she says, "deh". There is a family of 8 deer living between my mom's home and my grandpa Harris'. They come and eat anything they can find between the houses, which usually means wheat from the pheasant feeder and bird seeds from the bird feeder. Sarah loved watching them. But, could you help it? They are so pretty!

Here is a cute picture of Sarah eating a banana. I couldn't help but take a picture of her eating! She shoves her mouth full I don't even know how she chews!

We made rock jewelry as well. It was pretty fun. I made a necklace for Grandma Harris and Grandma Thorne. I also made a key chain for Jordan, which I forgot to give to him yesterday, so he will get it today. I will give it to him today. This is a picture of my mom and my little sister Becca...and the mess we made!!

We also went and saw 'Peter Pan' the musical at my old high school. It was really good and cute! I took Sarah and Abby, my niece, with me and Mom came too. Abby and Sarah clapped so hard to bring Tinkerbell alive I thought they were going to bruise their hands! It was cute. Abby asked when she would get to go back and see Peter Pan again. She loved the pirates and Tiger Lily as well.

Careful Consideration

After careful consideration, I've decided to move on and find another literary agent. The agency I thought was reputable actually isn't what I thought it to be. I have to protect myself as an author and in doing so, I must pass on this agency.

Keep praying for me. I am sure someone out there will want my book!

Ahhh!!!! (Screaming in utter joy and ecstasy!)

My book now has a literary agent representing it! Can you believe it?! I got the email this morning saying that they want to represent my book and will find a publisher! AHHH!! I can't say it enough!

Still, I realize, there is a lot of work ahead of me. However, I want to thank everyone who has helped me get this far! Your prayers have helped me and I cannot thank you enough! Thanks to Anna and Karina who've read my book over and over again. Thanks to my wonderful Aunt Nola who helped me edit extensively!! And thank you to all those who've read An Unforeseen Life and have given me honest opinions. I truly appreciate all of you!

Continue to pray for me. I still need to go through the difficult editing process and finding a great publisher! Thanks!!! Thanks!!! and many more thanks!!!
