I Love Lamp.

I love carpet.

Sentences related to nothing happening at the present moment that I repeat over and over in my mind when on the brink of tears.

Sometimes I add in a  - 

I love light fixtures.

Change the focus.

It allows me to LIMH (laugh in my head - must take this moment to protest LOL) and makes the seriousness of my emotions drift away.

I hate to cry.

My parents recently embarked on their 18 month adventure of missionary service to Washington, D.C.

I support this decision fully and loved hearing the title of Elder and Sister Craner placed upon their heads. 

How cool to have your missionary companion be your best friend!

I look forward to the time when The Beloved and I can serve together.

My parents bless the lives of everyone they meet - how unfair for this gift not to be shared with as many people as possible - even if it means departing from Idaho - :)

My parents are my pals.

I am awfully proud of them.

But miss them greatly.

But to this note - 

I love lamp.

I love carpet.

And I love that they are serving the Lord.

We had a tiny family get together for my parents the day before they left and here's a shot of  the "calm room" - where my parents were visiting with family after the festivities were over. 

 Not sure why I only took two random photos of the event. :)

Sister #1 - thanks for all of your amazing help with the par -tay.

Love you!
