People tell me that I haven’t blogged in a while and that seems to be the case. It is so easy to lose track of time here. They say the days are long and the weeks are extremely short. It’s true. Here comes another weekend.
Things have really changed around Nauvoo with the crowds gone. I served at Brigham Young today and we had 12 tours, but the day seemed endless. (By the way, my husband did something so nice and totally unexpected for me today. I looked out the window and what did I see, him holding a Sonic, diet cherry limeade with vanilla!! He had been to Keokuk! A bouquet or roses would not have meant as much!)
I have actually moved from necklaces to scarves for winter. Made three of them today. I have to slow down. What will I do in September?
Candace, choose your color!
I’m really getting good at this stick sewing!
I love the women I serve with, seems like I know them as well as anyone in recent years, all are pretty easy to be with. Things will be changing drastically when the casts are split up. Your cast is like your family, change, change, change.
This week Richard has received a new assignment. He will be moving into the mission office and is taking over scheduling and mission finances. Could they have found a better guy.? Nope! I’d like to see him set the mission president down at the end of the year and lecture him about how much money he has spent on health and beauty products!!!!! He will however be turning in his pickup and that means we will be sharing a car!!!! He has been riding his bike to work right now, not so easy in the bad weather.
I have been so stinking homesick. I think I have cried through most of this week.. I am missing my folks, my children, my grandchildren. I am missing milestones, first days of school, just everyday life. I know that it is time I will not be able to get back. I am dedicated to doing my best here and to making of myself what my Father in Heaven wants, but it is hard. All I can do is pray for him to bless all of those that I love.
