Cute post my friend... I took the "no writing" to heart and will get you one written soon - so sorry to be a bad friend!! My life just stinks and nothing really to share or write about. I do think about you guys often!
Ah love it! thanks so much for sharing your feelings. I love you and miss you so much. I love reading about all of your happenings. I love going to the salon to get a good cut and color too, I don't know HOW I would live without it! No way. I loved your thoughts, thanks for sharing. I hope I'm not on the bad writer list. Please tell me I'm not!!
Ah I've heard about those flea bites! Oucie! They do NOT look fun!
Love the list!! I like Tracy feel repentant! I always said it's a good thing I didn't have a missionary child I'm afraid I would never write:( I think about you all the time though, and will try harder! Amazing the things you really miss and the things that dont really matter! Love you cute missionaries! Have a great week!
What a cute post! We all have so many things we should be thankful for that we most of the time take for granted. I hope I'm not on the bad list for not writing very often. I do love you both and think about you often.
LOVE your post! Thanks for putting everything into perspective for the rest of us. We need to remember the important things too! I look forward to more inspiration.... you're the best!!!
Ok...ok... I KNOW that I am on the BAD WRITER list!! I am sorry!! I guess it comes down to...you either get me to Skype and call you...or you get letters. What would you rather have?? :). just a warning...it might only get worse after the baby! Haha!
I loved this post! Now have dad write hs things he has learned from the mission! He needs to journal too!!
Love you!
Awesome post. Totally puts things in perspective. Miss you guys!
I'll join Gretch on the bad writers list!! haha. I feel the same as Gretch though, we Skype and talk to you to often to have anything to write! We do love you though! We love to hear from you and all your posts on your blog. If dad starts writing I will promise to write back haha! I like Gretchen's idea, dad needs to write a list of the things he's learned on his mission, like who the he** James is and what he did haha. Love you and miss you! Malia can't wait to go fishing with grandpa!
I love this!
