Utah here we stay

Riley and I have decided to go to the U! Yep we're staying and we're excited about it. So if people hear of any good apartments or anything let me know. We want to move to Salt Lake or somewhere in that vacinity. It's nice to finally know where we're going to be living for the next few years. And everyone seems to be excited that I'm not moving clear across the country (besides Jenny). Love you all!

Home Again

I got in from Michigan late last night. I miss them so much already. It doesn't feel right waking up and not getting Kinsley out of her crib. It makes me want to cry. Although I will most likely be going back to Michigan for a few weeks in May and July. When I left, Laurie was doing well, she usually starts to get her energy back a few days before going into another treatment and then it starts all over again. My sister Kelli is going there on Tuesday and will be there to take care of her through the next treatment. While I was there we did shave Laurie's head. Her hair is so thick you couldn't tell that she was losing it, but every time she combed her fingers through it she would come out with a fist full of hair. So she decided she was ready to shave it. It was an emotional experience but it's insane how pretty she still looks without hair. We've had some low points the last few weeks but mostly it's been good to be with her and feel like I'm making it a little easier for her during this hard time. And  just so everyone knows, she loves her letters. Skyler gives her one every day and she has really been enjoying it. We made a scrapbook for her to put them in and it's just been really fun for her so thanks everyone for writing them. We really appreciate it!
Love Haylie

School...school....school

Riley got in to the U. So now we have to decide between the U and UNC. Everybody automatically thinks we're going to the U but it's actually a really hard decision. But I will keep everyone updated. I'm still in Michigan and really enjoying my time with Laurie, Skyler, and Kinsley. Laurie goes in for a treatment today and I'm praying that it doesn't kill her to much. Love you all.
