One of my best friends (Shauna) said goodbye to her husband for the next 7 months as he was deployed to Iraq. I don't know how these families do it either- you are amazing!
Now for the least of my sorrows, Miss E dropped my camera and it is not working now. I will see if I can borrow one to get pictures and do a little tutorial of those candy bar wrappers for those who were interrested- I loved the idea of making some Halloween ones!
We went to a Jimmy Eat World concert and it was amazing! Really, their music is powerful to me and it was a great experience- they are so talented and fun to watch, and the best part is I was able to stay sitting down for most of the show! (if that isn't proof I'm getting old, I don't know what is!) Is that music still called Emo? Because it makes me quite emotional- I think I felt the full range there, it was that good.
I was released from working with the Young Women at church and will now be working with the primary children- I am really excited about this but I will miss the young women I had gotten to know and love. No more girls camp!
Sorry for the lack of illustration in this post, I don't have a camera you know.

Two responses on both ends of the spectrum that were covered in this post...one, a lady in my ward bore her testimony this last week about losing her baby in the past month. I'm new in the ward so I don't know her or her story, but it was horrible to think about just the same. Your post reminded me of her and how surprised I was that she could be so open and together at the same time about that kind of situation.
The other comment I wanted to send your way was that I hope you and Ginger enjoy your new callings in primary!
Thanks for stopping in to say hi! I hope Bella has a great first day of school! I'm really sorry about your friend.
Tell your friend that if she ever needs a fellow military wife to chat with email me! Deployments bond wives like nothing else. I am so sorry to hear about the little one lost. I can't imagine the pain. All I can think of is how thankful that we have the knowledge and comfort of the gospel, but then again that is the answer to your friend who is a military wife as well. I couldn't make it through every day worrying about Pres, and if he was coming home. I have to think that every thing happens for a reason, and if something happens to Pres, then it will just be a while till I see him again. Although I say this a little different when I say it to Preston. I tell him that if something happens and he doesn't come home to us, then by the time I get to heaven he better be ready for an earful because I will be mad, and be stewing over it for years! Just think about that OPFEL temper!
