These Days

Some recent photos at the zoo. She loved the coy fish the most. She is so darn smart. She knows all the sounds to the letters except three (ipu). She has an amazing memory. Some of my favorite things she does lately: insists after her bath on taking a run (she's named it the naked run - around the house super fast). Bag lady with her toys. Oh my fav. she's got new tap shoes (high heel princess shoes) from grammy. She LOVES them, and walks in them better than I can. She wants to wear them everywhere, and sleep with them (sometimes with them in the laundry basket).

These days things are hard. I think about everything often. I feel very blessed, and I cry (I am crying typing). I debate writing this, but I want to remember. Addie says her babies names are Savannah when you ask her. She will still get into this little box that came from the Dr. (I told her was for Savannah) before everything. She'll say baby sisters box. We are being well taken care of by lots of prayers. We can feel them. It's truly amazing. I have never felt the power of prayers working so powerfully in my behalf.

I like talking about it... I cry most times when I do but tears don't bother me any more. I think they make others uncomfortable so I hold them in when I can. However, sometimes they just need to come out. I've gone back to work. I am teaching tenth grade world cultures. I love my classes, but it's hard. It is hard to talk about. Most of the time I don't want to talk about it.

However, I am excited to go to the big high school football game that will be on ESPN on friday night Go Bulldogs! The other thing I am looking forward to is going to the temple on Saturday. Eeverything has changed ... hearing lessons on the plan of salvation and just going to the temple. It's just different.
