Dear Children, we had some pukes this week. I hate the pukes. Dear Church, once again the spirit speaking to me, putting words in the teachers mouth just for me to hear. And it was the best because Will got to go with us. Dear Headache, you knocked me down and out. I will never get used to you or welcome you. Although it makes me feel that much more aware and grateful when the intense pain subsides and I can finally see straight again. The kids thought it was the perfect time to make mud castles because, well, there was no one to stop them. Ha. They were actually pretty cool. Dear Amy, Congratulations! I am so happy for your family and that you are able to fulfill a dream. I wish I could take a class from you, but I'm not sure I would pass. haha. Being a little closer there may be a better chance for us to come visit you guys! Dear Moriah, oh Mo you are such a beautiful, talented, creative, strong person. I love you so very much and I am proud of you. 17!!!n Dear Layton, I love reading your Mission letters. I love that you are near a place I love so much. You are becoming such a great man and I admire your dedication to the Lord. Dear Kade, I came into the kitchen to find all the fruit on the counter had a white film on it. I asked if someone had sprayed something on it and you chimed in proudly "I sprayed it with bug repellent so that bugs cant ever touch it". Oh, my little man. Dear William, the day I realized that your closet is organized by t-shirt, short sleeve, long sleeve, dress shirt AND COLOR that is the day I knew without a doubt that we are soul mates. I love you more than a fat man loves cake! Dear Self, my body is trying to take me down. It is so frustrating. But my body is also a priceless gift even with all of it's flaws. Humility, patience, gratitude and allowing my husband to help me do things I should be able to do for myself and do for him also. Is there anything that I can add to the list to learn from all of this? I will say not a day goes by that I don't see and feel how unbelievably blessed I am.
