Off to Korea

I took Corey and Sophi to the airport this morning. We left home at 7:30, with DPK all in the car with us. Say goodbye!

They're off to Korea! ...in two more hours. Their flight was at 10:50, but they wanted plenty of time to get through customs and stuff. It's a direct flight, but it's also 13 hours (!!!) so have fun, I'm not jealous of them. I hate being tired and wishing I could sleep while being stuck sitting on a plane. So, we dropped them off, then hurried back to Granite to try and get Daniel and Peter to school on time. They made it to their class lines before the kids went into the school building. Then K and I went home for some quick breakfast before we went on a walk with two neighbors. Stephani, Kim and I had been texting about going on a walk for over two weeks, but then there was rain and other conflicts, but we made it out today. I pulled Kat along in a wagon, and she two blankets to keep her warm and brought along Belle Bear in her carseat. It was cute. After the walk, we went inside Stephani's house to see their new kitten!

I texted Corey just to give him a heads up: "My closed heart was cracked open a little bit to the possibility of maybe having a pet someday, after visiting with Stephani and hearing her talk about how great it has been, so Oct 22 was the day my heart was a little softened". I had a lot I wanted to go today, on my first day to see how much I can accomplish before Corey gets back, but chilled and visited with friends instead. 

I shared this BYU speech with the college kids today, it was given last week on 13 Oct - Presence in the Refiner’s Fire by Rebekka Matheson. I like how she talked about how our bodies help us be anchored by time and space. I need to go back and take notes, I'll come back and put them here. But yeah - PRESENCE, being anchored to time and space, and how she says or bodies were made to interact physically with things, like people and nature, not technology (yes, use technology, but don't let it push out real life physical interactions. I was thinking of her message when I listened to this video about the difference in experience between digital and physical books “embodied reading and anchoring”

Tonight Cindy Lou Who joined us at scriptures. 

Creative Natalie at it again! And I must say I think this one is one of the best ones she's ever done, my  current favorite! Natalie, I expect to see you at all the Christmas gatherings dressed like this.
