we are driving to salt lake right now and i had to share jon's conversation with my brother brent. it gave me a chuckle. lifted the gloom and tears for a moment. so jon answers the phone and says, "i've got your sister strapped to the hood of the car. it's the only way i could get her to come with me." then he laughs and says, "yeah, i thought she was going to crawl in the hospital bed with your mother. she didn't want to leave!" a little more laughter and then, "she's laying here in the fetal position, i don't know what i'm going to do with her!" the reason why that is so funny to me is because i'm not quite that bad, yet!
when tod left on his mission, i sort of went into panic mode when we waved good bye at the airport. i came home and wandered around the house, going from chair to chair, not far from my husband's side. he would answer the phone when people would call and say, "well, she got out of bed today!", and "she finally put on a little make up today!" it would make me laugh, and i started to heal and deal with it all because of his faith and encouragement and love.
i'm so lucky to have him by my side again. we will be ok! i'll let you know when the tears stop, i'm not planning on that happening any time soon. i hope i can open my eyes tomorrow! elder oaks has probably never dealt with the emotions of the stewart's and bunker's, i hope he can handle us! :) it's good to have hailey with me today. i will miss her until she and megan and sadie come to join us!
p.s.- i am loving my new little laptop and verizon wireless card! i can be productive 24/7. we're in the middle of nowhere and have a strong signal! SWEET!!!
