A small moment:

Outside my window ... It's sunny and cold - my favorite autumnal combination.

I am thinking ... About a friend I love and how much can change in just a few years.

I am thankful for ... A husband who understands me and trusts what he understands.

From the learning room ... reading old journals doesn't get less embarrassing as time passes.

I am reading ... Making Sense of the New Testament, The New Testament, and The Broken Heart ... I think my personality can be seen clearly by the fact that I'm always reading like five books at a time.

I am wondering ... How I fell so in love with God ... How it happened. Why it happened. What it has meant to me along the course of my life.

I am hearing ... John Meyer's Continuum. (Gravity ... has taken better men than me ... )

Today if I could change one thing ... I would take the misdemeanor off Eldon's record (STORY: Eldon was pulled over on his way to take a bunch of trash to the dump. After keeping Eldon for almost two hours on the side of the road, the cop decided the mattress in the trailer needed to have a rope over it. So he gave Eldon a misdemeanor. I know. It's the dumbest thing ever. We're fighting it, but it's a long expensive process.)


I am quoting ... Neal A. Maxwell: "Sometimes the best people have the worst experiences because they are the most prepared to learn." 

I am going ... to be myself today, and love it.

I am missing ... fiction. (only 11 more months to go)

I am hoping ... Chiara is feeling happy and loved.

One of my guilty pleasures ... reading in bed after a hot shower while Chiara naps.

Pet Peeves ... inside-out underwear in the laundry.

One of my favorite things ... happy friends.

An enjoyable movie I have watched lately ... the HBO documentary on John Adams.

I am curious about ... what happens in minds that aren't mine.


A few plans for the rest of the week ... register our car and truck in ID, get an ID license, and probably cry on the way home from the DMV.

A picture and thought I am sharing with you ... 

If God loves us even more than I love her, I don't know why we worry so much.
