Moving day fast approaches unless something unforeseen happens (I am praying for a miracle. However, just as in the case of Alma the Younger with his father and the church fasting and praying for him, nowhere does it say how long they waited for that miracle to come to pass. Once again agency comes into play...) Am I ready? No. (Although my house is mostly packed up) I don't want to leave... I feel like Wyoming is home... I don't want to say goodbye to my friends and family... What do I tell my kids?... How do I not breakdown?... Nothing is final, I can change my mind right?... But, do I want things to stay the way they currently are, in limbo?... Grow up, Wendy. Be a big girl and take a step with a giant leap of faith that Heavenly Father will look after you. On the upside I think I have a job when I get to Oregon...
A quote I have been thinking about tonight is this...
"Perhaps the greatest charity comes when we are kind to each other, when we don't judge or categorize someone else, when we simply give each other the benefit of the doubt or remain quiet. Charity is accepting someone's differences, weaknesses, and shortcomings; having patience with someone who has let us down; or resisting the impulse to become offended when someone doesn't handle something the way we might have hoped. Charity is refusing to take advantage of another's weakness and being willing to forgive someone who has hurt us. Charity is expecting the best of each other." -Elder Marvin J. Ashton
P.S. I will probably post things that happened this summer but I will backdate them so that if I ever do get this into a book it'll be in the right order... Another thing my blog is probably going to get personal...

I know it's hard! I don't understand everything, but I'm sure it's hard! I love you! Keep praying. God won't abandon you. You make my living in the basement look like absolutely nothing... We look forward to seeing you and the kids and having you meet Ava.
Wendy my dear, you are an amazing woman. I am in awe of your grace and patience you have shown. I just want you to know that I love you and that I look up to you and that I will be thinking about you and praying for you! Good luck in Oregon!
Wendy you are truly an amazing woman! This I have known for years and years. It sounds like you are doing all the right things and I'm pretty sure you always have. So I have a silly suggestion for you. When you have days you can't think or you will go crazy...turn on a book on CD. That has been my secret when life gets so hard you can't stand it. Block it out with Harry Potter or Hunger Games. For a list of great books on CD email me. I know it sounds so silly, but it sure makes it possible! I love you! E-mail me at megbaker@hotmail.com
Wow, I love that quote on Charity. I'm glad you made it home--hopefully that will make things easier for you. Sounds like you are handling this so well and learning a lot in the process! Way to be positive!
