The Banta Family

Tyler returns home tomorrow from his year tour in South Korea. This will complete the 18 months total that we have been apart. As I look back on all that we've been through, all that I've been through, I know the Savior has carried me much of the way. I am truly grateful, though, for all that I've learned in the last 2 years. I am a much different person than I was 2 years. One of my favorite songs is "He moves mountains in me" by Jenny Phillips. It says, "He can move mountains, he can part the sea, but sometimes he changes me..." It is an awesome song that rings true for me in many ways.

Some of the events that have occur ed in the last two years for us:
