So, to maybe get the ball rolling, I'm going to make a random list of things going on in my mind this very moment as I get ready for bed:
1. Social outings are hard for me. WHY? I have fun once I'm out, but I have such a hard time getting out. I missed another book club. Sure I was sick, but I rarely go. It's hard for me. I never host. What do I give in these relationships that I value so much? Nada. I should do better.
2. Did the girls like the activity [church]? They are so beautiful and smart and fun and amazing. More importantly, do they know that? Are they going to put up with garbage? Do they know that they don't have to settle for anything in this life? I sure hope not. I really love them and want them to be happy.
3. I think the women I serve with are - exceptional. Stellar. They are smart, beautiful, reliable, fun, strong....amazing. I feel lucky to know these kinds of people.
4. There is a little place in Burley Idaho called Stevo's. Goooooood foood. It might even be worth the three and a half hour drive once in a while.
5. I have loved working with my aunt and getting to know her better. She is a mother I have loved watching, and hope to learn from. Plus she's fun to be with. I want to keep the relationship going.
6. Going out of town over night reminds me that Sam is better at doing 'mom' stuff than I am. At least with the non-cleaning mom parts. I'm grateful, but it's a little hard to swallow.
7. Do I sign my kids up at the new school? I'm leaning towards 'yes' but I don't know...it's so different from what I've always known.
8. I think my kids are gorgeous. Like, really beautiful. Is that vain? And I like them so much.
9. I think Jack White could do a pretty sweet cover of Motorpsycho Nightmare.
That's it. Time for bed.
I did say random, remember?

This is just what I needed. I keep thinking I should update, but like, what do I say? Nothing and everything has happened. I just don't know where to start. I think I might just post a similar thing today. I love you. I can't wait to see you!

The thoughts on your young women... do they know how great they are? How do we help them know? And will they settle for garbage... AMEN!
And how far is Burley from Dingle? I will mapquest it, I want to go somewhere fun and yummy to eat.
