We got to spend some time with the Sorensons last night because Zach played in a High School playoff game at Rice-Eccles Stadium. Tyran and Paul brought the kids some "Hurricane Tigers" gear...they were set for the game. (Drew and Max's sweatshirts say "I'm A Little Tiger" on the back. Super cute!) Drew, Tyran, Max, Paul, Lindy, and Brie...all bundled up trying to stay warm. Drew didn't move the whole game, he couldn't have been happier. Brie got cold and wanted to leave, Max did great but kept asking where the drill team girls were. :) Lindy and Max. You may be wondering what Max is looking at...Yep, the drill team! They were on the field dancing and I COULD NOT get him to look at the camera. Zach's team won the game 26-9. It was a great game and was fun to be back at Rice-Eccles Stadium...it's been a long time. When we got there George asked me if I ever thought I would be back there with a different husband and three kids. The answer is "No," but does life really turn out the way we think it will? I have a lot of good memories but it's great to be making new memories now too...I'm so lucky to have George! The Tigers will play at Rice-Eccles again next Friday for the championship. GOOD LUCK ZACH! Too much football for one night...good night little tigers.
I just read the past couple months and I DIED laughing at the post of the boys and their bikes. Max's poor face with the tire tread is priceless. I was laughing at loud. Too cute! Its so neat to see how well you guys are doing. You deserve it!
Everyone has a story: life experiences that have either strengthened us or made us weaker and have defined who we really are. Our story is no different; George and I were both married previously to very wonderful people who changed our lives and helped us become who we are. We each suffered a tremendous loss when our spouses (Joel and Summer) died of cancer leaving us with an unfinished story of the lives we had imagined. Through the grief, loneliness, suffering, and pain we both realized that our stories were being revised and that Summer and Joel were helping in that process.
George and I met in March of 2007. We dated for a year and it was a wonderful year full of compassion, empathy, healing, and love. My dad often talks about the tender mercies of the Lord and we both know that our lives have been touched by these tender mercies in ways we never dreamed possible.
We were married on March 1, 2008 in the Salt Lake Temple. The new revisions in our story may seem complicated but to us it's rather simple. Our kids know how much we love each other and are so happy to be a complete famiy again. They also know that "daddy Joel" and "mommy Summer" are a big part of our lives and that families are eternal and we will see them again someday. George and I often joke that "we are blessed....we think!," but the truth is we have been blessed beyond measure. We've had our trials and there are still sad days but we have each other to lean on. We now havesomeone to share things with--it feels so good to love again!
