"Nothing in this world is free... even if they say it is"

He isn't meaning our fore fathers fighting for us. He meant money... I don't know. I just find it sad. Happiness doesn't require money. A mothers love doesn't come by money. We have alot that is free with no money included. Unless, that is, my friends our getting paid to be my friends... :)

Ship in my mouth

I was playing "sick" with my nieces yesterday outside on our deck. Faith made me lay down got a blanket, tucked me in and began to observe me. She was prepared with her little mermaid sound book, heart sticky notes, and an imaginatory sick or not sick detector. I asked her what I had. She said, "Kate...oh! You have ship in your mouth!" I kinda thought maybe she was swearing and asked her again to see if I had heard it right... but nope- I have ship in my mouth. I know. I wasn't prepared to here this kind of news. Faith then pointed down to her book and pointed to a ship button which began to make "ship noises" whatever those might be. I moaned and groaned seeming that this is what ship in the mouth feels like and right away Faith put on her "mom" face and took care of me until the sick or not sick detector(which is just faiths hand skimming my face) told me I was alright for then.

I knew something was wrong with me and now Faith has found it. I have ship in my mouth. Its rare really. But don't worry Taylor gave me a heart sticky so hopefully I will fully recover.

"If at times you feel like you are in a clothes washer being thrashed and jumbled all about, simply turn off the washing machine, and get out of it."

But what if you think it is worth it to stick it out?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

If you didn't already know... President Hinckley's 95th birthday is tomorrow. I was able to go to his "dress rehearsal" birthday tonight. It was amazing!!!! I mean really wow! I cried. :) Just shows what a man with the Lord can do and how music is such a powerful tool and art form. Can we all just sit back for a second and realize how lucky we are. I mean we are in the presence of great men, great people. There are others all over the world that might not ever get a chance to see them face to face or be in the same proximity as we do. This night not only confirmed once again that Gordon Bitner Hinckley is a man of God, Prophet, Seer and Revelator but that this Gospel and church is also very, VERY true. I am proud that I can say I know this wonderful man. Happy Birthday President Hinckley.

Typical

Today in the car with my good friend Paul we were talking about just any average random thing and something he said caught my fancy. :) We are not typical.... No one is. We all are unique. Some people can't see that. I know I have done it in the past and said something like, "You know the typical type of..." But really we are not typical. Typical people are not typical. I like it. I have known it but well realizing for what I do now I like it even more... Its typical.

Lost and Found

What about Hope? ...I miss her.

come a little further- why be afraid-
here's the earliest star (have you a wish?)
touch me,
before we perish
(believe that not anything which has ever been invented can spoil this or this instant)
kiss me a little:
the air
darkens and is alive-
o live with me in the fewness of
these colours;
alone who slightly
always are beyond the reach of death

Amazing...

This week has just started off super well! Yesterday I got to go boating with some people from work. It was awesome. Even just sitting in a boat and riding around is so worth it to me. I think I like it so much because you feel like you are free, flyin... with the wind on your face and through your hair. I love it. Perma Smile for sure. Then tonight I just went to such an amazing concert! Rachael Yamagata http://www.rachaelyamagata.com/ and Ray LaMontagne http://www.raylamontagne.com/ . It seriously was sooo great! Really deep down and soul-full. I loved it. Will put some pic's up from it but seriously if you have the chance to see them on this tour I totally suggest it. They are great. And since it is only tuesday that is all that I have done. It's rocked. Sometimes you have these moments, well at least I do, where you look around, close your eyes and open them to really see if you are where you think you are. I am. I am here in good ol' Utah. Working and playing and grateful. Good week and good life. The stars have been amazing too. I might just have to find a place to sleep next to them. :) Night

Song #7

Just got home from a good Sunday... Church was what I needed after this week. I don't know why. It just felt good. I then came home, tried to take a nap and ended up going through some things in my room. Next- my grandma and nieces came over to eat. It was scrumptious (the food and the company). Then I left for scripture study. We studied the last three chapters in 2 Nephi. Great chapters, a lot of discussion and insight. Learned part of a song on the piano by Ryan, ate fresh raspberries (which will be apart of my garden when I am old), "played games" with Tommy and Sam. We didn't really play any games... just laughed and goofed off. Then I drove with Cara and talked for a bit. I dropped her off, cranked up a little Natalie Merchant(Tigerlilly CD) and sang with the windows rolled down. Good music...Nice Ride.... I guess she is coming out with a new CD or something. Oh what would it be like to sing amazing like that. But love singing off key or whatever to that goodness. I love it though. I walked in to find cars in the driveway but no one at home. Parents are probably sleeping but everyone else is gone. I felt so awake and there is nobody here to goof off with. So I will type this, get ready for beddy bye, close my eyes and dream. Here, here to Sundays.

Phone Calls

At my job I some days make calls to the clients and answer questions or just confirm info for the retreats. Steve(one of the guys who works here) said, "Have you ever talked with a person that sounds like after you hang up with them they are going to commit suicide?" And yes infact I have. So many interesting people to talk too. Some think you are just trying to sell them something, others love you. Some talk to you about their life story. Some ask you on dates. ha ha. Some seem so happy and relieved that you have called. Others don't speak english. It really is a crack up. I think when you get interesting calls it makes your day even better. It is interesting to be on the other side and be the one calling others. Kinda gives you an apprieciation for it all. Anyways... call me if you want. We can talk about "buisness and stuff" :)
