Mis-carriage



Yes, Becky had a mis-carriage. It came as a surprise and a big shock. We found out on her birthday!!! (Some birthday present, right?) Around 5 she started bleeding. She went and saw a mid-wife around 6:30, and there wasn't a heart beat. We lost the baby. She was around 11 weeks along. We all cried that night, but tried our best to be optimistic. We know that our baby is still up there, it just wasn't the right time to come down. God has promised us a baby, and all we can do is trust in Him. There is a quote that says "Trusting in God means trusting also in His timing." One of my mom's responses to the mis-carriage is; "It's like climbing a HUGE mountain, you have bloody feet, you are exhausted, and you can ALMOST see the top. You are starting to get hopeful because you are soo close. Just a little bit longer before you reach the top. And then someone comes up and tells you that you climbed the wrong moutain, and that you have to start all over. It is just over whelming!" But we trust in God. He does everything for a purpose. Our ward and friends have helped us SO much. We love them so much. Thanks everyone for your support. Don't worry our baby will make it here someday!!!

Ali's Recital

I did her hair in 20 minutes before the recital. I think it turned out pretty good!!
Ali had a recital last weekend, and she did AWESOME!!! She played a duet with her teacher Cathy Ford, and a piece on her own. She is getting sooo good at the piano, and if I'm not careful she might pass me up!! haha. We were all sad that mom was out of town for it, but we weren't sad about the part were we all got ice cream after ;) Great Job Ali!!! You did amazing!!!

Practicing together before the recital...

Jordan in MTC

Jordan has been gone since December 30th, and we miss him, but we definitely enjoy getting his letters. He has changed SO much!! It's almost like he is a new person. He is really enjoying learning spanish and the other day wrote us a letter entirely in spanish. It is so fun to hear his funny stories. He is really enjoying himself...

He was supposed to go out into the field on tuesday, but he got pnemonia, and is stuck at the MTC for another week. (Or until he is feeling better) He went to go see a doctor, and the doctor gave him antibiotics, but instead of taking them, he went home and threw them away. (Yay Jordan!! You are definitely a Doughty....) He instead just drank water. He went back in, and the doctor said he was doing SO much better!! Jordan just smiled.... (No, he never told the doctor that he threw the anitbiotics away... ;))



"The food is good here I think I eat too much, I eat like 3-4 plates of salad every day alongside the main entree. Its simply too delicious to not eat everything in sight." He is loving all the food, and is being well fed. We miss him so much, but it makes it all the more special to get letters from him.

WE LOVE YOU JORDAN!!!!!
