The Temple Experience January 26th...Amazing and Spiritual and oh so Rewarding
Patriarchal Blessing on Our Wedding Anniversary....Heart Felt and Amazed at whats in store for him. He is because We are...One of the 4 reasons of what has became of our love
The Farewell Feb 13th....Emotional and definitely a proud moment as I witnessed the support and friendships of the present and the past
The Special FHE Ken gave with the family and the Grandparents...Highly emotional. Reminding us that we are all fishers of Men. The swivel snap bracelets we wear are in support of His Disciple. And reminders that we too can be His mouthpiece.
The Setting Apart Feb 15th... The Reality of the moment and its nearness. The Spirit so strong bearing witness of the confirmation that this is Dakotahs journey in life for this season.
The Priesthood Blessings given to each of us by a worthy Son and a Wonderful Husband.. (words would not do justice)
The Last Dinner for 2 years as a Family....Spaghetti Factory never tasted so unsatisfying
The Drop Off Feb 16th...Hardest thing I have ever done...EVER! (along with seeing Ken off for his mission)
The First Letter....Peace, Excitement, Emotional, sensing the change that Our Heavenly Father has poured upon him in 3 short days
What a whirlwind! I feel like I have been taken up in a tornado. I'm emotionally drained. Life is still chaotic and reality still at arms length. Feeling the reality at times and forgetting I am living it at others. Waiting for a good night kiss and a love you Mom, Waiting for the phone call telling me he may be late, Extra socks on the family room floor, Crazy ideas of what he just needs to do, Standing inside the refrigerator door and drinking a BOWL of milk until its gone and then shutting the door, An extra boy or two at the house, A cute girl that was becoming a fixture, A major car project or climbing wall being built, An arm wrestle with his Dad that he just can't win, and when I get the courage, a terribly messy room left for me to clean with the thought of anger helping my sadness disappear!
2 Years seems like 4-ever, the last 3 days an eternity. How blessed I am to be surrounded by people that love him and are such wonderful friends to me. One Mom? Not even, He is blessed with many! I am surrounded with support, and my biggest support ever, comes from beyond this place I call home.
Let the Journey begin, after all I CAN do hard things. (maybe I will believe it if I say it enough!)
