To hear my son tell me that he has decided to serve a mission? To hear him tell me that he knows he should serve the Lord? To hear that Elder Robinson did write him and that he has had all these "random spiritual experiences" that have helped him see his own potential?
To hear my daughter laugh? To have Elle grab my dirt stained hand and brush off the remains with her precious fingers? To have the hot sun bake my face on a wind swept day? To hear Rachael tell me that she loves life and she is proud of me?
To know that it will all work out? To know that where I am today might not be where I am tomorrow? To have my sisters comment on my blog? To meet someone new? To run into an old friend and have him tell you that we are not old, we are just getting better?
To get a text from my friend? To know.
What would I give? Everything I already have all over again. I wouldn't change a thing.

You are NOT old! Isn't it funny how old you think a certain age is when you are young; only to reach that age and realize how young it actually is? ;-)
So, who's going on a mission?! That is very exciting!
How are you guys?
Both are going. Red wasn't having it, but he's the one referenced here.
We are well. How's the move going?
That is fantastic news! I am so proud of them and excited for them. We just got their grad announcements in the mail. I can't believe how much they have grown.
We listed the house yesterday. I am so nervous it won't sell in this tough market. I hope it does, because we could certainly use more space.
Someday in the fall, we'll come down to see you guys. We think about you all the time.
Jarret- i had to comment just for the fact that it might make you happy!:) I am so excited to see your kids grown and accomplishing so much. They are great. I absolutely adore Rachael. I hope you guys have fun on your trip- I know you will. Tell the boys I am truly proud!
