Dear Children, I spent a couple of days away and really missed you. Even though you had a blast without me I'm very glad to be home with you. And tomorrow is a half day. And you are already giving me early Mother's Day gifts from school. Dear Break, spent a couple of days in Tucson this week. Tucson because it's close and it was cheap. Even though we spent most of the time running errands and having to replace all four tires on Will's car, it was a nice break. We did sleep late, but that would have been more effective if we had gotten to bed before 2 am. One night we did go to the hot tub at 10pm for a couple of hours, that was nice. Really I just enjoyed being with Will, it doesn't matter what we are doing. We also attended an event with UofA where Will's Dad was being recognized. I enjoyed that. Dear K, you are hands down the best "babysitter". My kids absolutely love you. And I know that they are being cared for not just taken care of. Thank You So Much! I would never be able to leave them without you. And you make me laugh, that too. Dear Busy, there is so much that goes on at the end of the school year. We came home to meetings and concerts and the whole weekend full of one practice or show or appointment after another. It's not the end it's just the beginning of the next two months completely full. Dear Tall People, after much research and store hopping we discovered that you can purchase Tall pants, 36 inseam, without being Big at Dillards. Your Welcome. Dear Hailey, your orchestra concerts are always interesting. But you did great. Dear Will, it was so nice spending time together. We need to do better at doing nothing when we have the chance. Not too surprising we stay up way too late and laugh until we cry...or laugh snort. I look forward to the next time. I love you :) Dear Self, sometimes choices in life bring so much worry and fear. And it's so hard not to make your choices out of fear. You actually have to make a conscious decision not to. I feel grateful that I've learned to recognize and go through the process of letting go of fear and replacing it with faith. Knowing how doesn't always make it easy! I'm grateful that I can go to the Lord when I don't know what to do and feel comfort. I can't imagine living life without knowing my Father in Heaven hears and answers my prayers or that my Savior understands, paid for, and heals all of life's heartache and pain. And you know, I'm really lucky that I have a husband that I can talk with about all of these things. I'm lucky to have him.
