A few things we've done since being home from Utah:
If you haven't tried blueberry jam, you should.My job was squshing (not squishing) the blueberries by hand. Kelli did the rest.
We met Justin's brother Paul, his wife Robyn & son Tristan in Wilmington at Chuck E. Cheese.
They presented Justin with this picture a few of his family members went in on as a pre-deployment/thank-you gift. So thoughtful. It's called "Sweet Hour of Prayer."
Our ward had a Pioneer Activity. I'm pretty sure pioneers bobbed for apples and had slip'n slides, right?
Justin & I went to the Temple to help with the YM/YW baptism trip. After passing like 15 Temples in Utah, we never made it inside one. We like to wait until it's 2 hours away from home to go.
I finished "New Moon" and went into mourning that it was over. I had the new Harry Potter sitting on my nightstand but didn't want to start another book relationship so soon. I'm now in the middle of it, though.
Speaking of Harry Potter, the Dunn's babysat Justin's last weekend so we could finally see the new movie. Loved it.
A few things I'm grateful for:
- Justin went through his closet with me BEFORE he left. I love throwing stuff away.
- Justin cleaned out his vehicle also before he left. Last time I tackled that a month later and found some nastiness.
- Owens prayers. I pray for Justin in our blessings on the food now. After I had finished a food prayer on Wednesday morning, Owen said, "Wait. I want to tell something else in the prayer." And he prayed for Justin himself.
Just in case you're wondering...
Justin is in Kuwait now. He leave for Fallujah tomorrow. That's where he'll be the rest of the time. I've talked to him once a day and he's doing okay, just bored out his mind waiting for their plane.
Thanks for all your nice notes & thoughts!
