TRENT DUVAL

My friend Brittney posted about a little eight year old boy named Trent who is losing a long fought battle with cancer. Here is his blog that has kept everyone updated along the way. It's been 15 months since his diagnosis. Come to find out, this little boy is my neighbors nephew. I knew about his story, but had no idea that he had a blog documenting his time with Lukemia.

As I read his last post, I just cried and cried. His story is so touching. What a sweet little boy. Why does this sort of things happen to little kids? He has been such a fighter. Now he says he is ready to return to his Heavenly Father. Wow! You are such a strong little boy Trent and have touched so many lives.

The Chick-Fil-A in South Jordan is having a fundraiser for Trent's family today. Twenty percent of their revenue from today will be donated to the family to help them with their massive medical expenses. You can also just donate money by calling.

NEW DESK

My friend Desi was moving and getting rid of an old desk so I took it off her hands. It used to be what I call "faux wood" or "sticker wood" (it looks like you could peel the wood off like a sticker), or "fake wood." Look at it now though! I just gave it a couple coats of black paint, sanded the edges to give it a distressed look, put on new drawer pulls and finished it off with a nice coat of polyurethane spray! I am so excited, I didn't think it would turn out this good. Thanks for the desk Desi! If you look close enough by the keyboard you can see what it used to look like.... oops, I forgot to paint that part.

ADDI'S BIRTHDAY

I was going to get pictures, but completely forgot, so I will get some pics. next month for sure. If you would like to be on the sub-list just let me know and I'll add ya.
