Dear...

Dear Jenny and Tracy,

You are the coolest people. Ever.

You are the kind of cool people who let us call on Wednesday to see if we can come stay with you on Friday, and you act like we've just announced that you won the lottery.

You are the kind of cool people who let us call you when we get into the city and then stay on the phone with us to get us safely to your house.

You are the kind of cool people who feed us awesome, amazing meals, just because we are there.

You are the kind of cool people who pull out playing cards at 10:30 p.m. so that we can have some fun together.

You are the kind of cool people who tiptoe quietly around the house so we can sleep in. Till 10:30. (Honestly!)

You are the kind of cool people who give up your Saturday to drive us around your "new" city so we can see the sites.

You are the kind of cool people who celebrate when our car won't start, because that means we might get to stay for another day.

You are the kind of cool people who call us when we are halfway home, just to make sure we are OK.

You are the kind of cool people who insist that we call you when we get home.

You are the kind of cool people who thank us over and over again for coming to see you and hope that we will come again soon and bring the kids next time.

Thank you for letting us visit you in Boise. We love you, we love your city, we love your home. We will come again soon. And bring the kids with us.

You are the coolest people. Ever.

Things I'm Looking Forward To...

Another checklist: (This is in no particular order and will change daily.)

1. Briana's report on Prom tonight. She is leaving before I get home from work. She dressed up for me last night so I could oooh and ahhh; and her dad has explicit instructions to get pictures before she leaves!

2. Reflections of Christ. This is a wonderful photography exhibit that our stake is hosting. I get to sing there tonight.

3. A rainy weekend. While I love a good spring rain, I really think we've had spring storms ENOUGH. (This particular part of my list might contain some sarcasm.)

4. Wicked. This one's for real. Spencer's and my turn to celebrate Christmas is in just 4 days!

5. There are 49 days till youth conference begins. I get to have a 5:00 p.m. meeting on Sunday. And make some more phone calls. And do more shopping. And scheduling. And planning.

6. The end of the work day is in exactly 4 hours, 2 minutes.

7. Landon's first lacrosse game is on Saturday. This will be fun.

8. Spencer and I are joining some of my work friends for dinner and playing around on Saturday night. Go Jazz!

9. The Sterling Singers are performing on Sunday.

And that will bring us back to Monday again. :)
