Subject: It's May!

Can you believe it is already May? How has your week been? How did your exchange go? What else went on this week for you?

I am sorry it is so late to be emailing this week. It’s been a weekend/day and getting to email you has proved to be more tricky than I obviously want to admit. So, I will keep it short.

We’ve been playing catch up from being gone all month, loads and loads of laundry that I swear never ends, Tyler found the plants he wants in the pots out by the pool so he has been working on those, Brooklyn is gearing up for the rise test that starts this week, we had dinner Friday with a couple in another ward, Brooklyn went to lagoon, and today we skipped out of church because I felt like pure crap. I still had a PPI with the bishop and one with Chris and then a visit with Reagan and Maddie Maw. Let me just say that Maddie is a total lame o loser. :/ I’m sure glad you are a complete and total opposite of her!

I’m feeling mostly blah about life these days. I don’t know if it was the month of April crazy or just that it has been off enough of normal. So I was talking to my friend Amber on Friday at dinner about all of it and she was saying that she feels like life as a whole seems that way. Maybe because we are all transitioning out of Covid stuff, because we are all trying to go back to being kind and friendly to one another, all of the stuff we used to do? Life just seems different I guess. I was excited to have an oriole in the backyard this week and a hummingbird FINALLY today! My Mom keeps sending me pics of her hummingbirds and I have been trying to patiently wait for mine to arrive. I was so happy to send her the video this morning! ðŸ˜‚

Aunt DeAynne graduates from school this week and of course is making a big deal out of it. Grandma is throwing a surprise party and everything. I’m not attending and I am still unsure if I put a card in the mail. It just seems odd that as an almost 50 year old you need the big deal made about it? Different if you haven’t had 6 kids with 2 of them married before you graduate in opinion. But whatever.

It’s late where you are and getting close to dinner here. Just B doing dinner because Tyler started a diet this week and I am along for the ride to keep him accountable. (Why do I agree to this?!?) I love you. I’m sorry for a short and late email. I hope you have had the best day.

Love you for forever and for always

Mom's Talk: Sunday, July 10, 2022

Good morning Brothers and Sisters. I am excited to be here with you this morning. Not because I up here speaking but because we are here to listen to Kaitlyn report on her mission which means she is actually home! Thank you all for being here and for the support you have shown her throughout her time away. I also want to say hello to Elder Garcia who is hopefully able to have good enough wi-fi to join us today in Africa.  When I posed the question to Kaitlyn who she wanted to have speak with her I knew deep down she wanted Brooklyn but I also knew that Brooklyn had told both missionaries that if either of them asked her to talk she would simply not come to church that day at all and she was fine to miss their homecomings. To be able to pull off a small surprise for Kaitlyn today with having B speak just makes my heart smile Tyler conveniently doesn't do the social media thing so she wasn't an option to ask and Christian is in Africa so that wouldn't be an option either. I s...

From: Kaitlyn.Garcia@missionary.org Date: Saturday, January 16, 2021 Subject: I have a new mom Oi todos!It's just little old me, Kaitlyn. Well now it's Sister Garcia ;) I'm officially a missionary, which is so crazy to think about! During the online MTC my Pdays are Saturdays so you can expect an update from me every Saturday for the next 6 weeks. The CTM has been amazing so far! :) If I'm being honest I was super nervous to start and I didn't really know what to expect from it, but I'm so glad I've been able to do my training at home. My schedule that I was sent was all in Brazil time and it said that most of my classes were to start at 8:30am. I don't know if any of you know this, but Brazil is 4 hours ahead of Utah, you can do that math, it was supposed to be early! Luckily it's been changed and now my classes don't start until 9:30am Utah time. They like to keep us busy that's for sure! I already have to memorize and learn cer...
