Frebruary

Yes, you read that correctly. It’s Frebrurary, as Moses calls it. Does it seem like January flew by? That puts us so much closer to Jeremiah’s deployment, Spencer’s training, summer break at Ann’s and Christy’s workshop renovation. It also means we are so much closer to vaccinations and summer gardening and Mom returning to school. It’s hard not to be looking forward to the future and remaining present and in the moment. There is still so much good going on right now, I really don’t want to miss it.

Dad can probably relate to this thought as circumstances brought him right back to the daily grind and the reminder that you can only focus on the here and now, despite looking forward. I know it was a really hard week for dad with news about Grandma Dawn and having his best friend in ICU for several days. And yet, Dad called to check up on us and watched Moses while I ran errands and then planned a sleepover and movie night for the Elders, all while making plans to move Grandma Dawn home next week.

I am so inspired by our family and the resilience of our parents. Guys, I felt so thankful for them as dad as he prayed over lunch on Thursday, and he mentioned the things he was hoping for. I know mom and dad pray for and think of us often. I feel their support and love in my life daily. ♥️  Abe was right when he said he was thankful that we get to come to Wolfcreek on Sundays and to spend so much time with family. 

On with Februrary, I’m taking the GRE tomorrow morning, its the week to write letters and Valentines and we hope to finish our floors.

Dream big. Work hard. Be kind. Pray for charity.
