Thoughts on a Friday…

- For the past two nights Emerson has slept from 8:30pm – 5am! It has been so nice to sleep for more than 4 hours at a time. I don’t want to get my hopes up that this will happen every night, but I sure hope it does.

- Whenever I hear the garage go up when Mitch gets home, I am so glad he made it home safely.

- We are excited for the Olympics... I went to Vancouver a couple times growing up and loved it. It will be fun to watch!

- I love our book club. I am still trying to decide what book I should pick for March (I have the choice next month); I am trying to decide between a classic or a social commentary…

- Sometimes I am embarrassed to admit we have two designated TV nights with friends in our ward—one night for the Bachelor (I know, such a terrible show. I have a hard time admitting I watch it. I think it’s like a train wreck… you just can’t turn away.) and also LOST. We have watched LOST for so long now we can’t stop. We try to not watch a lot of TV, but sometimes it is relaxing.

Debbie made Dharma Beer (Root Beer!) Cans for LOST’s Premiere

- I love having time to talk to my sister and friends on the phone more, now that I’m not working. There is something wonderful about people you can easily chat with about everything or about nothing in particular.

- I gave a lesson in YW on Sunday about obeying commandments. We had a discussion about swearing… I really do not like swearing, and either do our YW. They are wonderful. Why do people need to swear?

- Mitch's grandma passed away last week; she was such a fun and spunky lady. We hope she is happier now... she had some pretty hard health problems over the past year.

- I love chocolate chip cookies. I think I make them at least every other week for some get-together.

- Today is my niece Audrey’s 6th birthday! She is such an adorable girl… really all my sister’s kids are adorable.P1040003

- A friend in my ward had a friend whose baby drowned last week. She bore her testimony about it last Sunday. I cannot stop feeling so sad and scared about it… I cannot imagine what she must be going through. I cannot comprehend my love for Emerson, and what that must be like to lose a child.

That's it! Now I have to make some chocolate chip cookies (vegan style of course). About the baby drowning, I have heard so many tragic stories about children lately too. It really makes you appreciate what you have and want to hug them a little tighter each time.

We are twinners. I'm the same with chocolate chip cookies! Wish we had a UT trip planned soon, unfortunately it's not in the cards :( Love and miss you guys!
