Get off the phone and congratulate Larkin!

SO if you go into a store five minutes before they close, do NOT get on your cell phone and talk for 20 minutes instead of staying focused on the task at hand and leaving so the people there can go to an important softball game!!!! (This has been a public service announcement, we will now return to your regularly scheduled blog post).

So just wanted to give a shout out to LARKIN! She has turned in all of her thesis stuff and even collected and analyzed the forgotten data. Thank you, thank you to all who returned and read the extra sentences! Way to go, Idaho! I was pondering how she got to this point. She has really done it on her own. Although in junior high and high school, she would ask me to proof read papers and then be offended when I would offer suggestions. The kind of proof reading "don't tell me if there is a typo or misspelling or grammatical error." But to be totally honest she truly has blossomed into a confident, educated, compassionate, articulate, amazing, beautiful young woman. We love her more than she can possibly know. (Those of you who know me realize that I don't normally sing the praises of my children, but receiving a masters requires a nod from your folks)

Frankie has been in Casper visiting his mom and brothers/sister-in-laws. He comes home today and that is probably a good thing. This working stuff makes it hard to keep up at home. Plus, I miss him.

David and Jessie are on a cruise. I think today they are in Cayman, I bet the wind isn't blowing there :(

Life is good here, even the hard parts. Funny how you think when you get old like me, you will have it figured out. It is a myth. I learn more now than I have ever before, maybe I am more teachable? At any rate, gratitude is such an important lesson.

Much love.

Yay for Larkin! That is a huge accomplishment that she should be very proud of. I had to laugh about the people coming in the store 20 minutes before you close and talking on the phone. That would irritate me SO much!

Well geez Beanz (said in a Dave gay voice) -- that was pretty nice :) Love you!

This is so exciting! You have good reason to be proud, that's awesome that she got her masters, she will be so glad. Woo hoo!
