Tonight has got to be the most beautiful night I've seen in a long long while. I absolutely LOVE summer nights! In fact, this entire day was just picture perfect. Even despite my grumpiness earlier! :)
BOTH of my nephews noticed my "owies" (zits) today when I went to visit Elisa. lol. I swear, it doesn't matter how much foundation you put on or how cleverly you try to hide them, children can see right through your make up! Oh well.
Okay. Now I am really going to try to do something on my list of things I was supposed to do today. :) See you all later.

I've been thinking about you lately, and thinking about how hard it must be to WANT to find that soul mate and have to wait so long... Don't think I'm giving you unwanted pity or something... just know that I empathize with you. I think it must be WAY HARD, in this society particularly, to not have the blessings of your own family yet. It is totally unfair and I hate it that you don't have that yet! And you can torture yourself with the 'why's' and never find any peace. Life really stinks that way sometimes! I have watched my dad go through TWO unsuccessful knee replacement surgeries this past year and he will NEVER fully regain the use of his knee. I'm sure he's tortured himself thousands of times with the darned "why" question. He may never know why he has had to go through that particular trial. At least not until sometime in the hereafter. So he has to find hope, somehow, somewhere, and continue to live life-- depite the huge disappointment of not being able to bike or throw javelin or even climb stairs anymore. I know it's a crude comparison, Heidi, but I just want you to know that I think about you and wish that things were better for you-- just like I wish they were better for my dad. I hate that you feel like you're stuck with guys who only think about sex. I hate that you feel like there isn't a nice, elibible guy left out there. I wish I could find you one and send him priority mail. I just think it stinks! BUT BUT BUT I just feel the motherly need to caution you to NEVER SETTLE FOR ANYTHING LESS THAN THE BEST-- which is what you deserve. No matter how lonely you get... you will never be happy if you don't marry the right guy in the right place by the right authority. Wouldn't you rather be single your entire life than be consigned (is that a word?) to live the rest of your life with someone who doesn't treat you the way you deserve to be treated? I can't think of a worse hell, actually. I know, I sound like I'm getting really preachy. I just feel so strongly about this. And I care so much about you-- even though I've been a pretty fickle friend these past years. I honestly believe, Heidi, that there is a purpose in all of our suffering. There is meaning in it. You know that I struggle big time, too, with my own trials. But I am DETERMINED not to let them get the best of me. I am going to keep hiking this mountain we call life and I am going to triumph over the natural man and over evil. I want to be where God wants me to be so I can accomplish His purposes and be who He wants me to be. That is the only way I will find happiness in this life. I think that's the only way any of us will ever find happiness.
Whew! Okay... please forgive me for my sermon. It means a lot to me, Heidi, that you always comment on my blogs and that you sincerely understand me. I think you, Ape, and I ought to commit ourselves to seeking the guidance of the Spirit more in our lives and increasing our faith. I think it will make all the difference! Tell me what you think (after you've forgiven me for such an annoying comment).
I love you, Heidi! It's so fun to be back in such frequent contact with you. Go get' em!
They ALWAYS comment on mommy's new owies or "zips" as Hyrum calls them. Silly kids.
Thanks for finally commenting on my blog. I thought that I would return the favor.
Let me know how your date tonight went.
Love you.
