Still hard to think about Wesley.....

4 years ago today I was at my mother in laws house getting ready to go out. I had been in the shower and then Derek took his. This was before we were engaged. When I had finished getting ready my mom called me and asked if I had talked to Shay. I had told her "No, why?". She then told me that Wes had died. I hung up with my mom and saw that I had missed about 10 calls from Shay, I felt like a horrible best friend!  I called Shay and we had figure out a plan. After the next day (thanksgiving) Derek and I would drive up to Utah and spend time with Shay and her family and attend the funeral for my best friend's older brother. Wes was 25 yrs. old when he passed of an enlarged heart. I was in shock after hearing this! I could not believe it and it was one of those things that just couldn't be possible.

Well it was possible. I feel that it is all part of Heavenly Father's plan, and it was proof to me more then ever that we are on the Lord's time.

Wesley was a great older brother. He and my brother Sam were the same age and best friends. So of course Sam and Wes would always pick on Shay and I. They would tease us and make fun of us,  but they still loved us and took care of us. As we all got older it was a blast to be around these boys!

I just wanted to say today that I am grateful for the Anderson Family (my second family) and all of the love and joy they all bring to my life. I am so grateful for the time we did have with Wesley here on Earth. Some of my favorite times....Capture the flag, 4th of July fireworks (especially the  bombs WEsley would bring), Hanging out at Thousand Trails in the summer, breaking into the Jr. high on New Years eve to play basketball till the New Year (Still one of my favorite New Years), beach trips, and off roading over Ave. V. What fun we had!

It is crazy to me that it has been 4 years since Wesley has passed away, and yet it is still hard for me to write this!

I know we will see Wesley again and I know he is busy doing the lord's work!
