Life Lately

I love going to the temple. I have been able to get an appointment most weeks.  

Last week Karen Bunnel texted me and said she was bringing us dinner.  Caitlyn and I used to minister to her and she loves Caitlyn.  She is so sweet, she said she just wanted to bring us dinner.  She also brought Caitlyn a huge basket of all of her favorite things and wrote her a beautiful letter.  Caitlyn always feels like a million bucks around Karen. She brought us pizza, salad, grapes and stuff for root beer floats.  It sure made my day and helped me feel loved. 

We had parent teacher conference a couple of weeks ago.  Wyatt's teacher said he is doing great and he is great friend to everyone.  They all had to pick an inspirational word and find a quote about it.  I love that Wyatt picked Hope.  His teacher gave me a copy of a paper he wrote where he was supposed to write about a place that is special to him.  He wrote about his break dancing studio, Breakin Circles.  It was so sweet, he talked about how break dancing has helped him become stronger and helped him with his self esteem.  He also wrote that he has depression and that break dancing helps him with that.  I love how open he is about his depression, I think his teacher appreciated it as well.  I'm glad he knows that it is nothing to be ashamed of and he is figuring out ways to manage it. 

Hallee is my little perfectionist.  We are working with her to remember that mistakes are good and everything isn't supposed to be perfect.  She works so hard in school and is always on top of all of her school work.  Mrs. Hafen went on and on about how great Hallee is and that kids like her are the reason she loves teaching.  It was so sweet and Hallee ate the praise right up.  

Caitlyn posted this in her Instagram stories.  It sure made my day.  

The next day she posted this about Keith.  Caitlyn is so sweet and so thoughtful.

Caitlyn works until closing a lot and when she does she usually brings home a lot of food.  Here she is one night with a giant bag of food.  I love the look on her face, that's a look she makes a lot.
