China, weapons and boyfriends

Friday night two of our friends came up to meet us at Snowbird, Candice and Sonya. Candice stayed over night. We talked about everything from China to how knowing who we are can make a difference in the world. Sonya just returned from a 14 day trip to see her parents over in China. I think I would like to see China but who wants to fly for 15 hours? I don't really like flying for 1 hour. (In fact I don't even want to do anything that feels good for mare than an hour.) I am getting ready for Scott's family reunion of his moms side. It makes me excited to think of being together again. We so rarely get to be together. Sometimes years can pass by with out a visit so that is why I started the "every other year force Scott's family to get together" reunion. I believe nothing is more important than family, it is one of the two things I believe to take with you into the next life. The second thing is knowledge and who better to learn with or from than family?
Scott had an excellent Sat. night as he took a concealed weapon permit class. It was kind of scary as the men were so enthralled it reminded me of a bunch a women at a... a... well I can't even think what a bunch of women would get that excited about. Karson was almost jumping up and down and strutting around the house all night packing heat. I had an enormous headache/ nosebleed so I think it made me a little more sensitive/ frightened.
I even cried at the McDonald's play land where we took the kids to get them out of the house during the class. We were talking about one of my parents friends who had died and for some reason I just broke into tears. I think they were happy tears, glad to have known him. But it did not help my headache. His name was L.D. and he loved life and lived big. He always saw the greatness in everything and I mean everything. It was L.D. that married Scott and I (one of the times... long story). Every Valentines Day I call his widow, Norda. They were one of the most amazing couples I have ever known, such love. I think they were sent to earth to be an example of love and service. One of my dearest friends is their daughter and many of my happy childhood memories are with them. We owned a condo together up Ogden canyon-- good times:) We got to see Chad and Ulma and Tyson and Jody. Kaden made me laugh. He told the neighbor boy that, I was his girlfriend. The neighbor boy did not like this and insisted I quit calling Kaden handsome and call him just Kaden instead. I told Kaden I wouldn't tell Scott about my "just starting kindergarten" boyfriend. As soon as we hit McDonald's he was flirting with a little girl on the slide-- so I think he may have dumped me. It's hard to tell in these situations. Four year olds can be so fickle.
