Friday we were invited to go to the temple with the Blacks, whose son will be leaving shortly for his mission. This is a family that we really love. A year ago last Christmas they woke in the wee hours on Christmas day to the realization that their house was on fire. They stood across the street in their pajamas and watched the flames eat away at their home and all that was in it. The seven of them moved in with us until they could find more permanent temporary housing a month later. They brought a great spirit of love and optimism into our home, and we were sad when they were able to lease a house until their own home was rebuilt. We felt honored to spend the day with them! After the temple we enjoyed a wonderful lunch together at Maggiano's. We're actually going to become kind of, sort of, close to "related" shortly. The oldest of the Black's sons is engaged to Randy's sister's niece. It's kind of convoluted, but hey, we take it any way we can get it!

Did they move in after we were gone? I don't remember them.
They sound like a really neat family!
