Nikki Jo Noveroske

April 19, 1976- March 14, 2010

Joli Bean Nikki Noveroske Taylor Williams, Brock Williams and Tachi Williams one year ago.....

The poem at her memorial service was worth repeating:

Do not stand at my grave and weep,



I am not there, I do not sleep.



I am a thousand winds that blow.


I am the diamond glint on snow.


I am the sunlight on ripened grain.


I am the gentle autumn rain.



When you wake in the morning hush,


I am the swift, uplifting rush


Of quiet birds in circling flight.


I am the soft starlight at night.



Do not stand at my grave and weep.


I am not there, I do not sleep.


Do not stand at my grave and cry.


I am not there, I did not die!


We recently lost my sister inlaw, Nikki. Please keep her husband and baby in your prayers.

Snow day

It is another snow day and that means all three kids at home while Taylor is trying to sleep cause it is his second day on mids.

Boston's friend invited us to go sledding at a school nearby. She had a ton of sleds that they could use, so we did. It was GREAT!

Both Brody and Boston love sledding. More than i thought they would, so that means i have to go out and get some sleds of our own......

Brynden hates sledding. He tried twice and cried both times :(

Frantic Valentine

Bostons valentines party for school, that i am in charge of is THURSDAY. I just got the info today (MONDAY) which gives me four days to plan and pick up supplies for a game, a craft and prepare his valentine cards to be given out.


Of course you think, Why april, didnt you plan ahead. well to those meanies i say, I DID! I called Bostons teacher weeks ago to figure this out and she said she would let me know when it got closer. But four days is a bit too close.


ALthough i am putting this on her, I would have procrastinated had she told me back in december :)


the good thing is the internet is a reliable tool for planning these events. Within the hour i had planned both the craft and the game. Now all that is left are the supplies and the valentines to be written out.


Still a bit frantic though

Clean

I am CLEAN, every WHIT!!

Gotta love the temple, the joy it brings, the comfort and release of tension.

I went in today, and everything was going wrong.
I forgot my recommend (and it was expired in Jan 2010 anyway)
My phone died
My car was thisclose to being out of gas
I was super lost!!!!
I finally get there, we go through the youth items and i get the urging to do some work. So i asked my greatest pal Catherine to pick her hubby up late and do some work with me. She said yes, so we did, and it was GREAT!

all that tension i was carrying around on my shoulders was lifted. I was at peace and happy.
