Well now I'm not just a red neck but a whole upper body red! Got to love it... I don't know if it is some virus or something I am allergic to but it is hot and itches so am hoping it goes away soon.
Today was our music class with the returned missionaries. The two guys were busy with the new Latin missionaries and couldn't come so it was just Katty. She is awesome! It is difficult for her to learn but she just keeps trying. After the lesson she came back with some sugar cookies she had made for us. I've sworn off sugar but Scott really enjoyed them and shared them with the Spanish class.
For Elder Hammons class today we were supposed to tell a Christmas related tradition in espanol. The only one I could think of that would be fairly easy to translate was how Scott has never appreciated Christmas lights on houses, etc. The funny thing being that now we have six families living around us and they all have Christmas lights on their houses. One day he will soften!!
Reid and I were talking before Spanish about having family around for Christmas. When he said "I will have family around because you are my family" it really made me think of how true that is. We love these people and they are our family here. If I could ever be as pure as Reid is, it would be marvelous. We are trying to decide what to do for him for Christmas that would be meaningful to him. He is always typing up poems and letters and special quotes and giving them to us. I remember Megan working with some Down's Syndrome kids at school and how much she loved those kids - now I really understand why.
Kelsey and Levi were supposed to move into the Rock House yesterday. It will be so nice to have them on the ranch. Eli and Chris and the girls came to Utah two days ago and went down to visit with Chris's family. Experience is a great teacher - now I know how Eli feels being away from home when everyone is there enjoying each other. How grateful I am for a wonderful family!
