Thanks for a great week. Dani, I am so grateful for your friendship. Your family has become so meaningful to Bill and I. We absolutely love spending time with you and really do feel like you are family.

Janan I love you tons. I am very thankful that after all of these years we have been able to reconnect and stay in touch. You are amazing. You are a wonderful Mother to Kaiya, she is so lucky to have you. I love your friendship and the times we've been able to spend together within the past year. I will keep you in my prayers as you make this next journey in your life. I will always be there for you. Thanks for the past few days, I really do hope I was somewhat of a help.

Traveling can be so fun, but it is always good to come home. I was so anxious to see You, Bill. The distance this last week really did make my heart grow fonder...... I love you.

3 MONTH PAISLEY GIRL

What an alert, wide eyed, observant little girl we have. I'm so sad that it's already begun, but the cuddly girl in her is slowly leaving. If She is being held, she does not want to be curled in to you but turned around and staring at everything around her.

She is so happy and smiling at EVERYONE. She loves to sing and most of all loves playing rolley polley.

We started her on Rice today and she seems to love it. Her appetite is getting larger and larger. I can't believe 3 months has already gone by. I know She's going to be all girl. She loves listening to her daddy on the phone and smiles so big when she hears him call her Helga Belle.

Yep, He still calls her that horrid name.

THE GAY CRUSH IN BEAUTIFUL CORNISH

Due to the heaviness of my last blog, I feel the need to lighten things up a bit.

I confess, I am somewhat embarrassed of the attention I received from my last post.

I love you all so much and I am so grateful for the love & concern you each had for me as I was feeling the blues.

I am happy to say, I am now "off it" & back to my happy self.

Jamie mentioned in her 25 random facts that I was once in love with a gay guy. I'd like to defend this fact and in so doing will bring up some great memories of my wonderful friends from Cornish.

This picture is the very extravagant Cornish Post Office. (No, it's not a double wide out house with a mailbox). This place served a town of roughly 250 people. There are no stoplights, no stores and certainly no single men.

So, when a new boy moves into town and he's reasonably cute, all girls go crazy. Well, at least I did.

We were in middle school when, let's call him "Screech", moved in. I believe the first time I noticed him, really noticed him was when all the Young Women were at Volleyball practice. My heart raced and I got all nervous as he walked into the gym. "Here's my future husband", I thought to myself.

Now all of you girls from Cornish know that God blessed me with a very VERY tiny bladder. In spite of this birth defect, I wanted to show off my volleyball skills to this fine looking man. Well I really did not get a chance because of Amy.

The ball was served and Amy hit it so hard, I thought it was going to go through the ceiling. I fell to my knees in hysteria. I was laughing so hard, I had to plug my ears. Staci K.'s laughter was making me laugh harder and harder and harder.

Oh and Staci, you know what dropping too the knees and plugging my ears meant. I WAS ABOUT TO PEE MY PANTS.

So of course, you run over to me and crouch down and laugh right in my face. You and Jamie wanted me to pee my pants in front of "Screech" and well, let's just say: MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

I run out the door with a trail of urine behind me, thinking: "Now "Screech" will never want to marry me". HELLO, I WAS WHAT, 15 YEARS OLD?

Oh, I was so embarrassed, but so in love with this brown haired, brown eyed beauty that just moved in to Cornish and upped the population to 254.

I will admit, I continued to think Mr. Screech was just the cutest thing all through out high school. Did I know He was gay? Many wondered, but I had the faith that he was meant for me. He would serve a mission and then come home and marry me. This secret of my heart was never shared and sadly this love NEVER BLOSSOMED.

For "Screech" truly was gay. Did I turn him gay because I was a female that peed in front of him? Possibly. But my itsy bitsy bladder could not refrain from release and well, that's the way the cookie crumbled.

Bill, if you read this you now understand why I hate it when you tickle me. Thus far you've produced a dribble, let's not turn it into the great flood. The last thing I want to do is turn you gay too.
