Come What May and Love It

Well Leif has been gone for about 1 1/2 months. Things are going along well. I don't miss him too much if I can talk to him every day. Hmm I wonder if I will talk to him every day when he is out of the country? I don't think so! I told Leif that it is a good thing that I am slowly going off him because if I did I would have major withdrawl. I get to go to North Carolina to see him on the 6th of April. I am kind of excited and kinda not. I can't wait to see him again and spend some time with him but at the same time I am sad because I know I have to just say goodbye all over again. L is doing well She had a great time doing Jr Miss. Now she is trying to get ehr drivers license. She is a nervous driver, so she is not looking forward to getting her license. D is in the middle of track...running yuck! She is of a different breed. It is good for her. H is doing better in school We made some changes for this tri and he seems to be keeping up a little better.

I honor of my dear friend and grandma figure to my children, Wenonah Vee Norton, I want to wish you all a HAPPY ARK DAY. She celebrated it every year with my family and a few others in the neighborhood. She said that in the scriptures Noah collected the animals and then comanded them to MARCH 4TH. Every year we would get different Noah's ark memorabilia ie, games, statues, ect. We always got floats (because Noah Floated on the water) of some kind. Last year she gave us floats and a little note saying how this was her last Ark day and was entrusting it to our family. She wanted us and our children to always remember and celebrate Ark Day with happy thoughts. Along with her note she said that once Noah was done floating, he stood on dry ground and planted seeds of many kinds. She gave each child a package of seed that would continue to come up every year. Nona (as we called her) Passed away in June. NONA YOU ARE MISSED
