May 19, 2014 I can never get enough Coldplay…and B was planning (willingly) to go with me, but, sadly on the Friday before the Monday show, work had a -work-all-weekend-sixteen-hours-a-day glitch- that prevented him from going. I was very sad … Continue reading

I can’t remember which letters I’ve forwarded or to who, so I thought I’d just add some photos that D has sent to us. He’s still in Ithaca. He’s been there a long time now. He’s only had three areas since he’s been out and we are coming up on fourteen months! I remember Melinda telling me the first six months goes by really slow and then it speeds by. She was absolutely correct. Although, looking ahead ten more months seems like an eternity. Every so often I get these heart wrenching bouts of Master D sickness, I just want to talk to him, hear from him, contact him in some way. Mother’s Day can’t get here soon enough! I miss Aub in the same way, but thank heavens, I can contact her any time I feel that way. (An update for her and her awesomeness coming soon) D told me in his latest email that last week he all of a sudden missed Bikram yoga and then music and then his family – to the level of his first week out:( The funny thing is, I went back to Bikram yoga the same week and a concert of one of his favorite bands (Airborne Toxic Event) I hadn’t been to yoga since he went with me before he left. At the concert I kept saying, D would love these guys! Coincidence? I think not. Today I miss him with that ‘I have a small hole in my heart’ feeling.
His favorite tie, in honor of his Scottish heritage!
Master D and his second companion, Elder Horton. They were together 6 months in Lowville – 17 member area.
Elder McPherson (his current trainee companion) who has a lot of current event info since he just got out there and Elder Simmonds, Master D’s trainer. At area conference
Like his choice of egg decor – he’s still D!
You can give this your own caption…..
D’s comp in the MTC. He’s 6’4″ so he crouched down just a bit.
This family that has adopted D as one of their own. The Mizjahi’s. He skyped from their house on Christmas. They feed him often and celebrated his birthday with gifts, dinner, cake and all. When he gets transferred, I am pretty sure he’ll be homesick for them. They are from Israel and speak several languages. In all senses, an amazing family.
Homework. That’s my excuse. So bear with me in my brevity in order to to pack in a lot of important adventures and experiences.
Valentines Day:
Forget Pinterest. My kids come up with their own valentine box totally representing their personalities. That would be a caesar salad, her favorite meal of all time on there too.
TT’s valentine box, he got stopped in the hallways carrying it in and it spread around the school so that kids were sneaking into their room just to see it.
In honor of the one year anniversary of D leaving, we drove up to indoor skydive again. We went with him the day before he left. TT had gone up there with a birthday party a few months ago and that boy was doing flips and owning that tube. The instructor taught the girls a few flips too. We miss D, but we are now on the downhill!!
Flying makes Lelu happy
The twins had a week off in Feb, but I didn’t so I tried to entertain them when I could and that included a trip to go sledding. My friend Cami came along with my other friend’s kids, since their mom was under the weather. Cami and I even went on a few runs and survived to tell about it!
Jeff and Christina made a quick trip up to go snowboarding. Jeff was a good sport and took the twins both Friday and Saturday. We attempted sledding again, but it was raining and we figured out after getting completely soaked that sledding on snow that’s being rained on is not possible.
They have so many Taylor mannerisms that are similar.
A family threw him a going away party when he got transferred, complete with cake..
Another family’s cat had kittens and they named this one after D….I can see the resemblance
1. He loves his red hair (as much as I do) Continue reading
