Not quite...

My recent bout with Pinkeye looked nothing like this... more like Quasimodo. Maybe now that I've had two days with the eyedrops I can start wearing pretty eyes again.

DC with the Dekkers








I went and had lunch with my dear friend Abi a few weeks ago when they came into town. I have all kinds of wonderful connections to this sweet family. When I officially met Abi, I learned that we had both been in the BYU Women's Chorus-- the same three semesters. We met in the same cohort in our Elementary Education classes. I met Arie while they were still dating, and then after they were married, when I was in the MTC, I met Arie's brother at the call center in the MTC. Abi helped me get a job at BYU Independent Study. I owe her many happy memories and excellent moments.

I love this small world. And I love this friend. She is the reason my Kindergarteners sing "Follow the Drinking Gourd" and "My Paddle Keen and Bright."
