So brace yourself for what is sure to be an insanely long comment.<br /><br />Um, I feel sort of lost and like I need to evaluate how good of a friend I am to you since I somehow totally missed out on your love for scented candles. HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS?? My world feels flipped, turned upside down, so I'd like to take a minute, just sit right there... (Ok, I'll stop now.)<br /><br />Is Kate's hair curly?? At least when wet? I love that you (may) have a curly headed blonde.<br /><br />Your weather sounds a lot like how ours has been lately. Luckily we missed a lot of the dang spring snowstorms while we were in Africa, but we've had temps in the 50s/60s and lots of rain. I loooooooooove thunder. Nothing makes me feel quite the same as hearing deep, rumbling thunder. It is oddly peaceful and comforting to me. Also, I love that you talk about the weather all the time now, too. Haha. When I was younger, I never understood how people would say stuff like, "How's the weather?" or anything like that. But now that I live in a place with seasons, it has all clicked. I talk like the weather like an old person.<br /><br />Ditto to the humidity. I haaaaaaaaaaaaate humidity probably about as much as I love thunder. Luckily Utah is dry as well. But seriously, I'd rather be in 105 in dry heat than 85 in high humidity. I feel badly for you.<br /><br />Aha! Closer picture of Kate and I can confirm that she does indeed have curly hair. Although now that I am thinking of it I think I probably already knew it was curly, but it's just more pronounced now that it's longer. Whatever, it looks stinkin' adorable.<br /><br />I'm suddenly feeling a little sheepish that Josh and I are usually a couple minutes late for our 9am Church every week and it's just us. I mean, I knew it was ridiculous but actually seeing all you have to do in black and white makes me realize just how ridiculous it is. Although in my defense, sometimes caring for Josh is a leeetle like caring for a child? (Bless his heart - so it's okay I said that.)<br /><br />I love the scroll work on the cake! Yet another reason to add to the list of why I want us to live closer to each other. Also, you ARE cute and clever.<br /><br />Sigh. When you texted me the news about the Mangums I was heartbroken for them. I mostly just know who they are and haven't spent significant time with them, but it's still heartbreaking to think of anyone having to experience that. I am sure you have a much deeper understanding of the kind of pain they might feel since you have children of your own, and I'm glad they have people like you in their lives to offer such sweet support. I also really love what you said about learning from the trials of others. It isn't something I have really given a lot of thought to before, but it is very true.<br /><br />Go Matt, the doctor! (I'm not positive if CRNAs are called doctors, but with all the work he's put in and the important work he does I think he should be, so I'm calling him one anyway.) I am seriously impressed with him. And when I think of how proud I am of him, I can only imagine how proud of him you must be.<br /><br />Also, I hope that the reasons you were in the hospital were not terribly alarming and that everything is ok and at least manageable. I think of you often and pray for your wellbeing.<br /><br />Agreed about the mechanics. I'm cynical so I'm sure that worsens things, but I always brace myself to get ripped off and it's not a pleasant feeling. Good luck!<br /><br />One last thing: SUMMEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15711233072459741941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5983042876808293951.post-18917634326565882062013-05-29T14:57:52.102-07:002013-05-29T14:57:52.102-07:00I miss you, and this post made me miss you even mo...I miss you, and this post made me miss you even more!
