November 29, 2008


Thanksgiving was nice. We went to Riverton to my sister and brother-in-laws house, as we usually do. Jayson was able to call via computer at about midnight his time, which was about 1:30pm our time. He got to say hi to almost everyone, then we lost him. Sometimes the connection is great, other times not so much. Driving home I got sad and started feeling blue, but he called about 11:30pm, so that helped. We took a picture of everyone, and my sister added a message for Jayson.

It seems like lately emotionally I have had a harder time. When I get sad, it seems to last longer than it did in the beginning. The first month or two after Jayson left, I would feel sad for a few hours, and then snap out of it. Now it lasts days before I feel good again. We are keeping very busy, and maybe that is part of the problem. Maybe I need to just slow down and take some time to myself. That is something I never really do, so it might be hard for me! The kids seem to be doing well. They miss Jayson and all gather around to talk to him when he calls. Seems like such a long tome until May...

November 1, 2008


Happy Halloween! The kids had a good time with Halloween parties at school, and trick-or-treating, and more parties in the evening. It was nice having Halloween on a Friday this year, so the kids didn't have to hurry up and get to bed so they could get ready for school the next day.

Regan and Morgan dressed up as Mario and Luigi, and Wyatt went as a bloody skeleton. Jayson and I usually drive the kids around so they can trick-or-treat. This year, I was alone in that. Morgan went out with some buddies for candy collecting, and the little two went to a party, then out to a few houses.

Next up, Thanksgiving...I am afraid the holiday season is going to be hard to get through. I got choked up several times driving around town for trick-or-treating. I guess when you are used to doing everything as a family, when we are not all together, nothing feels right. It feels like there is always something missing...like there's a void. I guess that is because there is something missing...there is a void!
