Catch 22

Part 1:
I am REALLY sick of being giganticly prego and would LOVE to have this little boy in our lives.

Part 2:
We may be able to move in next week and I REALLY don't want to have to do that with a newborn. Anyone have a magic wand they could lend me???

Talk About Being Blessed

As you know, we've been on the house hunt for a bit but have not really had any luck. Well, now that our time is running out at our rental house the pressure is ON! So we did some major looking, found a house that's a bargain deal that we are IN LOVE with, and started the whole process again with little hope. The only thing is that it's a short sale, which is great because it's listed WAY UNDER it's normal price, but it also means it could take up to 6 months to get approved and everything, which is a long amount of time that we don't really have.


So after A LOT of hoping and praying we just heard TODAY, a week later (which is UNREAL with a short sale) that our offer was accepted and the house is ours!!!! HOORAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!! So sad to leave where we are, but so grateful to be taken care of! Now let's just see if we can get it all done before the little man decides to make his big debut! YIKES!

Much Love and Appreciation

Thank you all so much for the love and support that you have offered over the past few trying days. I just wanted to add this special event that a friend of Justin's is doing to honor him this Wednesday. Also, my family has asked that I set up a separate web log specifically for Justin that everyone will have access to share whatever thoughts, feelings and memories they may have. It can be found at www.justinbluthmemories.blogspot.com. Thank you all again for your much needed love and support. It is what has kept us going.



Hello Friends,

My good friend Justin Bluth passed away last week. At his untimely death, I feel helpless and desperate not knowing what I can do to celebrate and pay tribute to his life. What I do know is that Justin had a wonderful family, he was the most generous person I know, and he loved to eat gelato at my gelato shop.

In an attempt to celebrate Justin's life and pay tribute to his generosity, I invite you all to come to the Gelato Freeze in the San Tan Village Shopping Center (www.gelatofreeze.com, for directions and contact info) on Wednesday, May 7, from 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm to enjoy a night dedicated to Justin. I will have pictures of him and his family on display, a table set up for anyone to write a note to Nicole and his boys, and I will donate 100% of the proceeds of the sales over our average Wednesday sales to the foundation Nicole is planning on setting up in Justin's name. The memory of Justin is so pleasant that his life will be easy to keep alive.

Sincerely,
Tim Raymond

We Miss You

My tender wife has asked that I post a message in tribute to a wonderful and beloved man. As many of you know Amys dear brother Justin, her oldest sibling, was found dead Friday morning. This was an unexpected tragedy that has left us all with broken hearts and many tears. We are so grateful for the countless prayers and the outpouring of love that has been manifested these past few days for Amy, her family, and Justins wonderful wife and four precious little boys. Thank you all for your kindness.

I have only known Justin for three, all to short, years, but he touched me, like so many others, with his all encompassing love and his true gift of understanding an individual. My brother-in-law said it best when he said: "Justin was the type of person who when he asked how your day was, he really wanted to know." Justin had a passion for learning, a genius for working, a gift of listening, and a joy for playing. If Justin was involved, it was a great time. Boys night will not be the same.

Justin was a patient man who was always considerate and temperate. Justin was a tender man who always seemed to know what to say. Justin was always had an easy smile, a ready hug, and a contagious positive attitude. His wisdom and insight are irreplaceable. His laugh and cowlick are unforgetable.

The greatest thing that I can possible say about Justin was that he loved his wife, his children and his family with everything that he had. No one can question his love for his family. He was a good man, a great husband and a wonderful father. He was a role model to everyone that knew him and his influence has shaped the collective destiny of his family. He was the best of men.
