10 Wishes

I wish
I was 10 pounds lighter.

I wish
I was fitter.
(More committed time at the gym should solve both!)

I wish
I had the awesome writing skills of my daughter, Kylee

I wish
I had the undeniable faith of my daughter, Taylor.

I wish
I had the social skills of my husband.
(25 years of wedded bliss!)

I wish
I had a cleaner, less cluttered house.

I wish
I had a complete and accurate pedigree chart.

I wish
I excelled at one of my hobbies (photography or cooking)
so much so that I could make a career out of it.

I wish
The dirty dishes would clean themselves.

I wish
It would never snow after Christmas.

Two

Two days, two daughters

Day 1

Friday.
I left straight from work.
Three and a half hours later I was in Rexburg,
replacing a broken crockpot and putting new plates on a car.
I could have done this via mail, but hand delivery was so much better
then anything the post office could have done.

I spent the night with my youngest daughter.

After a lazy morning, I hit the road and headed home.
I had another date.

Kylee and I were the recipients of a pair of VIP tickets for the General Relief Society Broadcast.
Being in our seats by 5:.30, is the usual requirement, but being in our seats by 4:30 was richly rewarded.
As we were people watching – we caught a glimpse of some of our favorites.
Spying on President Uchtdorf as he interacted with the sisters,
especially his darling wife was the highlight of the night.

Other favorite TWOS…

TWO and a half decades of marriage to my best friend.
TWO quarter centuries old will soon be that man of mine.
