Saturday October 17th, 2009 a dear friend passed away after a long and hard-fought battle with cancer. Joanne's passing brought about many different emotions and caused me to do some personal reflection on choices I have made over the last 3 years. Monday night I decided I needed some time alone where I could process my many thoughts and spend some time speaking with my Heavenly Father. I hadn't been on a drive to see the fall colors and I knew that they would only remain for a short time, so I went for a drive. I just drove and eventually found myself near Timpanogos Cave in Uintah National Park. I took some pictures (I'm not claiming to be a great photographer, but I sure wish I was...) I was grateful for the peace that I found and the strength I was blessed with. I have regrets, but I realize that I have made certain choices based on my own healing process. I pray Joanne and the entire Elder family know of my love for them. Heavenly Father, thank you for the strength and insight I have been blessed with.

Oh My! What gorgeous pictures! I'm a sucker for the fall leaves. Every fall as the leaves change colors, I can't help but think about the hand of God in our lives. I hope you are well. If you ever want to talk let me know! You are amazing Sarah!
Wow. Fab pictures. There is no better place to spend time talking with Heavenly Father than nature... He just seems so close!
