All in a day

I was privileged to start the day chatting and walking by the beach with Michelle. Nov 4 is the anniversary of the death of her sister. We share this loss of sisters. I always enjoy her sweet spirit.


I love how much my kids are learning, Veronica, our sweet neighbor, loves Elise. Elise loves being with Veronica. Elise is learning how to work with her as Veronica is very curious and easily distracted. I'm proud of my girl and her good heart and learning to be a friend to those who need love a little differently.
We came home and were supposed to pack for camping BUT, Matt just figured out we have no tent and are missing many many totes which we assume must've been put into storage. WE've looked through our packout lists and don't actually see these things anywhere so we really won't know until we go "home" and unpack our storage items. So he and Sennia went to the Sultan Center and picked up new tents.

Farewell

Image
My kids and I have made the best friends while we were here in NoVa. It's been a little heart wrenching to say good-bye. Thankfully it was packed full of friend time so that the girls hardly even had time to notice that we were saying good-bye. I will forever be thankful for the women and men who made all this possible. You will each be missed and I can only anticipate when next our paths cross.

Meet the Poulsons

Image
We've had several new families move in, both to the Embassy and church! The Poulsons are an instant fit. They have a missionary, a BYU Freshman, and kids Brigham's age. They also love to adventure and are a lot of fun! We did some snorkeling, some paddle boarding, beach combing and tried to rescue a dead turtle that looked like it had recently died in a fishing net. We took them to Bimah Sinkhole and White Sands Beach. She wanted to jump but yet, she didn't. It's always a guessing game for her courage.

A Red Carpet Moment

Image
The opening of the musical season at the Opera House made my heart beat fast. I wanted to have something formal to wear if I ever needed it so I had a dress made. I was incredibly nervous about the whole procedure but also pleased with the results. Matt bought me tickets to see Rigoletto.  As excited as I was, the production was incredible! I'm still dreaming about it and even Matt loved it-he doesn't like opera. After getting a beautiful dress i was super nervous about how to get me up to par. The toll my hair loss had taken is really tragic for me. It was doing better until the most recent episode Elise shared with me after catching it in Egypt. While it wasn't perfect, It was better than I'd thought.  It didn't really turn out like I thought but it worked. While the dress is beautiful, it doesn't really flatter my figure. It's a LOT of dress. I was excited to show Matt around the opera house but he was maybe a little uncomfortable. I have no idea why. He ...
