From my journal (that I hardly EVER write in--and maybe blogging will help me do so)


Well, the tears flowed HEAVILY (to the point of dehydration) yesterday.
First, it was Maddie's baptism. It was wonderfully attended by family and friends and the spirit that was there. The baptism ordinance and the wonderful symbolism attached was a very special and wonderful occasion.

It was also the day the W's began their new adventure to Montana. After the baptism service, after the refreshments, after the long and TEARFUL good-byes, and after we all hung on as long as we could, it was time for them to drive away. We are happy for their wonderful opportunity in Montana, but it tears at our hearts.

Jordan went with them to help with the move. He will be back in two weeks.

...and I make it sound as if the tears have stopped
