Safe Travels, My Parents

We made it all the way to my parents house in Utah today which was quite the crazy drive. It takes 10 hours in the car, but it was extra stressful today because there was a big snow storm in Utah right as it was getting dark. Visibility was low and slush kept getting thrown up on our windshield from the other cars on the freeway. But Brad did a great job driving and we finally made it safely! Phew!
My kids are so excited to be here at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Ryder had fun playing with my mom most of the night. I'm so glad she's so willing to get on the floor and play with my kids. She's the best Grandma!
After I put the kids to bed I went with my Dad to help put Kathy to bed. She's a woman here in my parents ward who has MS and is unable to move from her wheelchair to her bed without help. So every night two men from the ward come over to help put her to bed. They've been doing it for eight years now! There was actually a very inspiring movie made about it called "Lift." It's one thing to see the video and another to actually see it in person. I was very humbled and touched by the kindness and compassion my Dad and the other man there showed. It was a sweet experience I hope I won't soon forget.
