To you women of today, who are old or young, may I suggest to you that you write, that you keep journals, that you express your thoughts on paper. Writing is a great discipline. It is a tremendous education effort. It will assist you in various ways, and you will bless the lives of many--now and in the years to come, as you put on paper some of your experiences and some of your musings." --President Gordon B. Hinckley
"When our children were very small, I started to write down a few things about what happened every day..." The prompting came to me, "I'm not giving you these experiences for yourself. Write them down." "I recorded those things so that my children could have the memory someday when they would need it." "Have I seen the hand of God reaching out to touch us or our children or our family today?" "I urge you to find ways to recognize God's kindness." Henry B. EyringOct. Con. 2007
It came. The time has come when all of the girls are in school all day. I count it as a sad day because I miss them and enjoy having them home with me. I'm also super proud that they are each so wonderful and in their own ways growing up in to such beautiful talented young girls. I have to admit I have cried everyday this week and instead of posting the day they went to school I have put it off. It has taken me 4 days to emotional be ready to post it. I'm pathetic. I just hate to see the time in life that I have little kids home with me go a way! I loved that time in life and now it is over. Jason was awesome. He took the day off work to console me. We walked the girls to school went to the gym together watched a movie went to lunch with the girls and he took me to orange leaf. Every time a friend would call I would cry talking about it so he stoped answering the phone. He is the best! To my delight Livi is loving first grade and doing great! She adores her teacher and has lots of cute friends in her class. CC has her best friend in her class and a very nice teacher too! Kenna and Erika are loving 6th grade! I have been to the gym everyday and have a day once a week for my hair appointments and a day set aside for the temple. I have some projects in the works I'm excited about doing. I like the lunch dates with friends that keep me having fun in the day. I love my life past and present and remind myself they are only a walk down the street and they love it when I come have lunch with them:) Here are some pictures of the first day of school. Yes Jason and I stalked livi just to make sure she was okay. The pictures of her in the lunch line and on the play ground were taken in secret.
So cute!!!
