Today I had the privilege and honor of saying good-bye to the world’s greatest soon-to-be missionary. Elder Jonathan Kiser will be leaving to report to the Provo MTC on July 26th 2011. It has been a privilege to be his friend and I know he will be a wonderful missionary serving the good people of Brazil. Good-bye Elder Kiser! You are going to be such a fantastic missionary! You will be missed!
Yesterday, my family went on a wonderful boating trip all day. Can anyone say sunburn? Yes. I have never been more burned in my life. My thighs are so burned that they are swollen twice their size, and are covered in blisters. I have almost used an entire bottle of refrigerated aloe vera but it seems to evaporate right when I put it on. Ouch? You got it. This morning I could hardly get out of bed. It hurt so incredibly bad to stand up, my legs were so stiff and swollen that I couldn’t straighten them. My arms and shoulders look like a lobster. I have a pretty cool swimsuit line though. Luckily my face didn’t get burned at all. But was it all worth it? Oh yeah. I basically had thee best experience. We learned how to water ski, knee board, surf, and then we went tubing. Whoever thought of it deserves a gold star. What a great way to spend a Saturday with my family.
So now, all my good friends from BYU-I are back. Do you know what this means? Yes, it means we get to party, but it also means that there are only seven more weeks until I get to go back to school!!! Yee-haw! I am sooo close now baby! I can see the finish line.
Gavin. Dear Gavin. Gives me a panic attack almost every day. Yes. He has learned it. He has learned how to climb the stairs. This wouldn’t be a problem, except for the fact that there aren’t enough gates to cover all the staircases, and the stairs are all hardwood floor. I just feel like I can never relax unless he is sleeping. But the good news is this: he is at the age where he knows who I am. Whenever I pick him up he just cuddles into my shoulder and gives me snuggles. BEST part of the job. Right there. Makes it totally worth it. No matter how nasty his poopy diaper is. I am trying to teach him how to say my name. Except Rachel is kind of hard to say, so I am trying to just teach him how to say nanna. It is easy to say for a baby, even though it kind of sounds like grandma. Which I’m not… but nanny and nanna sound pretty similar. Don’t worry. He will learn how to soon. I will make sure of it.
