The Travel Bug has bitten and I'm off again. This time for Florida for two weeks and for my very first time. We will do Disney World, visit my long-lost brother-in-law, and drive through the Everglades to Key West. I'm stoked.
Whenever my sister-in-law would leave on one of her many trips, she would leave a note on her fridge telling her children that if anything happened to her, to be sure they got married in the temple. Well, her children, and mine who are married, are all married in the temple. I wonder what she says to them now.
Whether we travel across the country or across town, something could happen to any one of us at any time. What message would we like to leave our loved ones?
I would want to leave a note so my children would know that the Gospel is the most important thing in life, and it is worth every sacrifice in giving it your all.
I do have a sign on my fridge. It says, "You can't fire the cook; slaves must be sold."
No, not that one. It says "Let there be No Empty Chairs in our Heavenly Home."
It would be my hope that my children would be clean and dressed, spotless and in white, and present to share in that heavenly feast.
So, TTFN (ta ta for now), and I hope to see you soon.
If not, then I'll be holding your seat at the table!

a place where I can write whatever is on my mind with no expectations of brilliance, profundity or even interest. a way to share my life, how I feel and what I have learned. a chance to find the real me because that is more important than the laundry and cleaning out closets.

have a great time!
wish we were coming!
please come back safe!
I just clicked over from Jill's page and have found myself reading all your posts! You must be the coolest grandma ever. Thank you for the 'Stay at home mom' post. I have one with one on the way (in 3 months) and have been feeling a bit overwhelmed at the idea of starting it all again. I really do need to concentrate on the wonderful things a newborn will bring.
I'll be checking back! I hope you don't mind.
Have a fabulous time! I have to admit I'm a bit jealous. I'd love to go on a vacation like that. Can't wait to hear all about it when you get back!
I know you'll have a wonderful time, enjoy the beautiful weather and all your activities!
Florida? Are you kidding me? Maybe you should keep in better contact with your children because I had NO idea. I wanted to let you know we got your package. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! for sending our camera. Also, I finally caught up on all of your blog posts. Yes, that means I went all the way back to mid-December, and yes, I enjoyed every post. I love you. Thanks for being the best mom ever.
What wonderful sentiments. Have a fun trip and laugh often.
Think you know, but in case not, I just have to say, you are my hero. I never cease to be amazed at the depth of your soul and the endless teaching that you do on a day to day basis. How blessed I am to be able to learn from you by osmosis if no other way. And I didn't want to move to McKinney! I would have run here if I had known you were right down the street.
Love you!
