We eat ham.

Today in Young Womens we were talking about family history and family traditions. When it came Jennica's turn to share a fun tradition, the first thing that came out of her mouth were the words, "We eat ham." Hahaha I lost it. Wow that is one of the funniest thing I have ever heard. Thanks Jenn :)

The lesson today also made me think of how grateful I am for my family and all our funny traditions. I love the 'You are special Today' red plate that we get out for birthdays. I love Christmas traditions at grandma and grandpa's with the cousins. I love having a sleepover with cousins at grandma and grandpa's the night before the 4th of July then going to the balloon festival and parade in the morning. I love going camping every summer with family and friends where we play cards for hours. I love game night every Wednesday night in the summer (new tradition we started last year). I love the comfort that these people and traditions bring through consistency in my life. Life is always changing.

truly,

want.

Where can I get one of these?

days of our lives.

I had a wonderful weekend. I went with Linds to get pedicures right after school at Shelle's school. ha that was fun! Shelle and I cant really do anything seriously together so it was amusing. That night I went to my grandparents house with Lindsay, Shelle, Tanner, Haddy, and Jennica. Hysterically fun would be an understatement for how the night went. We spent our evening eating, laughing, drinking (Linds), laughing, looking at bizarro pictures, laughing, playing cards, laughing, watching a movie, oh and more laughing. Ha it was such a great night.

Today has been a little weird though. Jordan and Morgan are both gone to Pennsylvania for the summer. I already miss them so much and they haven't even been gone for a week. And Shelle left this morning to go to AZ in celebration of her graduation. (ps congrats Shelle!!) Half of my family is gone. The house is so quiet now... I am the oldest one at home. It is sooo weird. I knew that it would come but it is quite bizarre. Ha I know Shelle will be back in a week but this week will be uh- different.
Sincerely,
Emily

ps why cant the sun just come out?
