Well Lovey, Jordan should be IN today...thought about calling Laurie but pretty sure she is still crying and no reason to make it worse. I am wondering if you were able to escort him in like Kyle did with you? I hope so!!!
Ronnie Olsen's boy--Aaron, just got his call today to Columbia South Carolina but it is English speaking. He goes into the MTC on July27th...he'll be glad to see a somewhat familiar face I am sure.
Mike Cooper, Michael King and Austin Walker have been working through the nights painting Los Hermanos while there are no patrons.
You will see from the pictures that you have missed a boat load of work. Everyone except Dad ( at work) worked all day today getting in the top soil placed and tamped down ready for sod (where the bob cat messed it up), doing sprinklers, planting....we are TIRED...VERY TIRED...and missing your brute force and endurance. Your hands and diligent work were missed as much as you are.
The basketball standard arrived yesterday and it is Mammoth. Not even sure WHO to call to help install that baby. Meg and I have read through the directions and think we need somebody superman. If the darn rain will just hold off a few more days we might be able to get DONE.
I am STILL so sad about Scott not being able to bring you Betos...but I also don't want him to lose his job.
Michael says he has now written you more than he wrote Josh on his entire mission. I threatened him with my motherly threats if he was thinking about NOT keeping it up...but he assured me he will. He will give you the details on not working at UCCU anymore and his new job search. Josh starts at Home Depot tomorrow. Varsity lost to Spanish Fork---argh. Sam is still lifting till he can barely move. I will start taking pictures and sending them when he thinks he is "cut" enough for me to do so. He had to give blood for extra credit in History so I included a picture of his braveness--or mine---you know I don't do well seeing ANYONE I made from scratch with blood coming out of them!!!! Sam can barley make it to school....ALL the kids are SO ready for summer--even and especially Megan. You will see her in a picture by the picnic table with my lovely FREE flowers from her green house. I LOVE her job!!!! She has submitted her last MBA paper and we are waiting to hear back for her official graduation date.
Mt. Timpanogos Temple is closed for cleaning...I am SUCH a GOOD GOOD girl NOT to show up there tomorrow...if I don't show up that is... :)
I am now searching for 2 kittens for the back shed...I have seen a mouse or two and that is two too many for me. The humming birds are back and we have at least 4 that frequent the feeders. Lucy next door keeps escaping to come and "play" with me while I work in the yard...she jumps right in my lap if I get anywhere near the sitting or squatting position...I tell her how much you liked her. She is an UGLY dog...but, she has SO grown on me. How can you not LOVE something that thinks you are wonderful??
Well, I KNOW YOU are WONDERFUL...WONDERFUL is one of my favorite names for the Savior. I could like it being MY name....but you ARE WONDERFUL. I pray all day pretty much everyday for you. I ask your guardians and guides and angels to help you with the language, with the intensity of it all, with not being able to work out, with the food, with your companion, with sleep, with your teachers, with the Sisters :).....pretty much everything. I specifically ask Grandmom B to look after you and to take Grand Dad Steadwell if she can get him to go. I think I have been SO AMAZINGLY GOOD NOT to have come to building #?....and I KNOW which building it is. I hope you are proud of me.
Anything you want or need? How is doing the laundry going? You feeling any better about the ADD thoughts?
I love you Buddy. I love you more than Sunshine after days of rain. I love you more than losing LOTS of weight. I love you more than having the yard all done nice and tidy and no dirt everywhere. I love you more than finding coins on my running path. I love you more than hot rolls and butter. I love you more and more and more...and more as the days go by and you are not here with me.
Remember: Love, and Love BIG AND HARD AND OFTEN AND WITH ENTHUSIASM ...you are SO good at it.....
Miss you.
Mom
