Monday, May 7 - There is constantly construction happening around us but this one took me by surprise. Our neighbors that live in the circle adjacent to us are putting in a second garage that is literally bigger than my house! Craziness!
Tuesday, May 8 - I found these cute jammies at Sam's Club so I was just going to grab one for Ricki since she's lacking in summer PJ's. However, I just couldn't resist when I found the exact same ones in Kendra's size! Good thing they were at Sam's Club...I didn't pay an arm and a leg for them.
Wednesday, May 9 - Tonight was a special event for me. Jenni came and spoke to our youth about her experiences. We had a dinner in which we gave each youth a special challenge (blindfold, tied arms up, noise cancelling headphones, etc) and made them eat with that challenge. Then, Jenni spoke about being a normal kid and teenager until her life was flipped upside down. She also talked a little about Jake and what he has now been through. The kids were so focused on what she was saying and attentive. I think it really hit a lot of them and made them think. This was a great night and a great activity thanks to my sister and the Spirit!
Thursday, May 10 - I guess it is field trip season at school! I went with Zack today to Wheeler Farm for a field trip. It wasn't my favorite field trip ever but it was so much fun being with this boy and his friends!
Friday, May 11 - I texted Kendra and asked if she was doing good since I hadn't seen her for many hours except for right after school. This was the text I got back in response. I love that she and Savannah are such good friends and that they spend time together just being kids!
Saturday, May 12 - Oh my gosh, I've looked at the top picture of Nick at Parker's birthday party a million times but never realized the yellow marks on the floor were the outline of a body! Haha! It was a murder mystery party and Nick had so much fun! Tonight, we got together with the Merrill's for a much overdue dinner & movie date. I'm glad that even though we moved and even though we are Ute fans, we have stayed in touch and remained friends.
Sunday, May 13 - Happy Mother's Day to all of the wonderful and influential mothers in my life. The list of mothers that have shaped me could go on for days but I am especially grateful for my mom, for Simon's mom, and for the opportunity that I have been given in this life to be a mom.
