Shaun & Nicole are done being parents! Since Thursday, we were watching these kids in our ward. About the 2nd (okay I admit, it might have even been the first) night, I turned to Shaun and said                "I like our life with just us.."   
(which gives the wrong impression because I'd watch those kids again in a heart beat)

Which I think is true for now. We are coming up on 6 months (I don't believe it) and I think we are still considered newlywed stage. I think the adventures we continue to have and the time we get to spend together without worrying about others is grand for now. We will talk more about my amazingly fun packed kid-weekend later.

My next thought is, I wish I could take my thoughts and feelings about something and put them in somebodies head and say "SEE?! This is how I feel!" Becky and I were having one of our deep conversations yesterday. I was telling her about my first lesson that I gave in YW on Sunday. Which went incredibly fast. I over-prepared STILL thinking that I needed more information and I got through only one of my ideas. Which is better than the other way around I guess. I had this feeling sometimes during EFY and with some friends in my life. I wish some of these girls could just see what I see. Understand what I know and what I am trying to teach them. I guess you really need to have that desire to know and learn. Unfortunately I think that is sometimes rare when you are a 16 year old girl living amongst the pressures of life. 

I'm so excited to work and play with these girls. It is such a diverse group where unity doesn't exist. Once again I miss my bubble where all the YW in my ward were some of my best friends and I could not wait for mutual on Wednesdays. I guess it's a challenge for me though which I'll gladly take.

One more thought, the bishop gave a thought yesterday about the scripture where the Lord says "..if you are not one, you are not mine.." (D&C 38:27) He was using it in a context where he was addressing unity among the YW. I was then thinking of how we could take it into our own lives with just individual people. How I can be more one with Shaun, family, and friends. Things that I can improve on so I can follow that commandment with exactness. 

Don't you love an enlightening day?

Us too.
