D. Joyner

I justed wanted to thank all of those who have been thinking about us and prayed for the entire Joyner family during this difficult time. Nick's dad passed away on April 21st. We made our way out to South Carolina for the services and to spend some much needed time with family. We were able to fly out on April 24th and stay till the 29th. Here are some pics that my sister in law, SueAnn, took.

It makes me sad to think that our daughter won't know her grandpa but I have to keep reminding myself that he gets to hold her and play with her now before we do. I am so grateful for the strength that it gives me to know about the plan of salvation and the truthfulness of the gospel. There is nothing else that could give me this comfort and peace.

South Carolina

Nick & I were able to go to South Carolina for Christmas this year. Not as warm as I was hoping but it was great to be around family. Here are some of the things that we did in South Carolina:

• watched Ernest takes Christmas (my first time seeing it)
• got to play with nieces and nephew
• went to Charleston-Fort Sumpter, Market Street, & ofcourse outlet shopping
• went to the sealing of our niece Rachael to Jason & SueAnne-probably on of the highlights of the trip
• had a much needed girls night out-went and saw Blindside (highly recommend it)
• had a great day after Christmas Christmas with 6 out of the 7 brothers
• got the best Christmas present ever from Nick's parents-Harley Davidson Baby clothes w/a durag (that's how we told the siblings that we are prego)

We came back on New Years Eve and spent that night with my family hanging out and playing Mario Cart.
