I figured that since I write in my blog about as often as I write Brooklyn who is on her mission in Portugal, I'd just take some of that letter and put it here for reference. Enjoy:
I'm so sorry that I've been a terrible writer. Technically I have
no excuse, but life just goes SO fast. Cleaning up from the floods etc.
has been crazy!! We've been in Vegas and then doing a complete
re-organization of the house to get rid of any extras that we can send
to the evacuees from the floods. The kids are done school, but we've been having fun
just chillin' and getting stuff done. Jaymeson just got a guitar that
is really sweet... Kaia is learning some Wicked songs on her violin and
Kienna got the Les Mis book for cello. I went and saw Les Mis and it
was amazing!! Benson is so crazy busy - and it just keeps getting
worse. Today he toilet papered my bathroom by dipping it all in the
toilet and throwing it around the bathroom. It looked like giant
spitballs (but toilet water) stuck to the mirror, the shower and all
over the floor. It was SO gross. We saw Piano Guys when we were in
Vegas and it was amazing. We also saw a Cirque de Soleil and had our
minds blown (actually just about a week after we saw this performance,
one of the people died while doing it - crazy!!).
I got to clean the temple on Thursday night - it was SO awesome. I
actually got to go down under the font and dust the oxen which is SO
cool, because how often do you get to go down there??! (I got to vacuum
all the mens change rooms too, which I also never get to go in, but it
just didn't have the same thrill behind it). Somehow, life has
seriously just been going 100 miles a minute and I feel like I never get
a second to think... but it's been the good stuff. Can't complain
about that.
Speaking of time flying, Kienna turned NINE on Saturday. We
took a couple friends with us to Calaway Park and did a low-key birthday
party there. We went on Friday so that we could all volunteer for
flood relief on Saturday. I was really impressed with Kienna wanting to
help babysit people's kids so they could go to High River on her
birthday. It's super exhausting and overwhelming to work there and see
all that these people are losing. It's motivated me to really clean out
a lot of my house. I don't need even half of what I have and it would
be fantastic to have more room and space. It's been a theme. I
actually went through all my clothes and am down to just a few outfits
that work better. I have very few clothes that fit right now regardless because I've finally been losing some weight. In fact, I'm down about the same amount of weight as you are it
seems. I started at 199 in January and am down to 182. It's been super encouraging to see it finally coming.
Well, that about sums up last week. Hopefully I'll write again soon!!
