"Swollen Heart of Sorrow"

I was teaching Sunday School today. Our lesson was on the prideful cycle the Nephites continue to choose. Helaman sent Nephi to hopefully knock some sense into the Nephites and when he arrived he had a "swollen heart of sorrow" witnessing their wickedness. When I read this scripture, I thought it PERFECTLY described my feelings towards Taylor. I have moments when I feel angry, frustrated and sad but it's best described as a swollen heart of sorrow. No words to describe how much I miss him! I have hope in knowing it's possible to have a change of heart!

So other news...IT'S SNOWING!!! Absolutely beautiful, huge snowflakes are falling down and I LOVE it! I can watch for hours. This is our backyard...we will have much yard work once the snow melts later this week.

Jason is getting ready to leave for the Northwest Pacific Regionals (Cordero competes in this regional.) Jason was asked to annouce and we decided to make it a family trip. Tanner and Jason will leave tomorrow. Cordero will leave on Tuesday and not only compete but will spend time with his family. Jordan and I will leave on Thursday. It will be fun to spend time all together in Jackson Hole.

Last week I had a special experience reuniting with many old friends from San Rafael 1st Ward. A very sweet dear lady, Jackie Estes passed away and I was able to attend her funeral service. It was a beautiful service, surrounded by an outrageous amount of family members. After the service, I was pleasantly surprised to visit with my young women leaders and friends from high school. It wasn't appropriate to take photos but oh I wish I did.

Dodgers: Grrr..."Swollen Heart of Sorrow!" They lost their first two games. They play tonight and we are having an early dinner so we can watch the game with our blue power!!!
