Its P-Day

Hello family! It's Sister Remund's P-day...that means its my P-day too:) I call it my play day...haha. I admit I have spent more time looking at her blog than the 'journhalls' blog...I will be better:) Doesn't mean I don't think of all of you often! Seems like now more than ever I am thinking of family. I'm sure it has something to do with the fact that I've had kids leave the nest...makes me reflect a lot on family!! SO, speaking of family...I want to say how much I loved Mark's most recent post. WOW. I'm not one to be emotional (well, since Kenna has left I cry a lot), but I just sat here reading and weeping. That was truly inspiring, touching, and beautiful Mark. THANK YOU for sharing your feelings! I understand that is more difficult for you. You are incredible and I want you to know that I love you too!! I also couldn't agree with you more. Family is where its at!! And I certainly love mine! Thank you again for your thoughts!!

Not too much new to report. Ashley & Justin found a place to live. Another big shout-out here to Mark & Angie (and Mason & Connley) for opening their home to them for awhile!! Their jobs seem to be going well, and I am happy to have them a bit closer. Kam & Hallie are getting used to being the only ones around. They are cute with each other (most of the time) and I relish every moment with them. I realize it is going to go fast and before I blink, they will too be gone. And sweet McKenna is wonderful too. Check out her blog...we post her stuff once a week. It was so GREAT to talk to her at the airport. We only got 30 minutes and it went way too fast. She had memorized Joseph Smith's first vision in her language and recited it to us. Was sweet. If you read her last letter...count how many times she says "Its great". Brett and I have been cracking up!! Everything is great:))) Brett's back/leg is finally on the up and up!! YAY!! Relief. Feel very grateful about that. We've seen a slight increase at the bakery with the onset of fall...hopefully it will continue. I love fall...I may have listened to a few Christmas tunes, but I can't say for certain.

Well, I'm off to frost cupcakes! Hope you all have a great week. Love you, miss you, and am thankful for each of you!
