Jenna and Moving

Just a quick update to say Jenna is doing remarkably well. She has won the hearts of the whole family and all the nurses. She is a beautiful little girl with an amazing spirit and fight. She continues to amaze us all. Hopefully she will come home in about a week. Tara and Kurt are doing good and would just like to get Jenna home. The outpouring of kindness has been amazing. Thanks.
We now have half a house in American Fork and live there mostly and half a house in Salina and live there when we need to. It is kind of convienent. We had some things to do on the Salina house to bring it up to 2009 code for the relocation company so we are finishing that up. Meanwhile, since we are in American Fork so much, Scott is working and Ryan going to school and me there all I can be with the baby at UVRMC NICU, that we are busy remodeling that house too. Sometimes its confusing where I am to be. I still work in Richfield. I spend lots of time driving. I doubt I will catch up with all the times Scott has drivin back and forth.
Rio Tinto just happens to have their contracts come due at the end of this month, which mean the union workers can go on strike. That means Scott, because he is in management, has to stay on the property and not leave, until the strike is over. Great! Strikes in past years have lasted 1-3 months! They really don't think this will happen and hopefully will only last a day or 2. Nothing can pass the strike line, not even food or water. We bought him a bed as we don't have a self contained trailer. He is stock piling some food and water just in case. Should be interesting. Hopefully in this economy there will be no problem!
Life seems to always open new challenges for us but things are looking good. We just need to get the house sold in Salina and only manage one place. That will help. We want to get baby Jenna home healthy and happy. She has been so blessed.
