So many things happened last week!

This week was full of emotion! It all started a week ago Saturday when Mark and I met my family at the Ogden temple. It was Scott's first time to attend the temple. It was such a blessing that I was able to see Scott attend the temple of our lord and experience the spirit as strong as it presents itself in those special rooms.
After the temple we went to lunch, then there was a lot to prepare for Scott's mission farewell, which was held on Mothers day. Mom made all the food except the pulled pork, which she almost had Mark make but instead ordered from Famous Dave's (which isn't near as good as Mark's). After making all the food and setting up tables in the garages of the new house, we finally got to relax, go shopping, and watch a movie.
Sunday we all presented Mom with her presents. Mark, Curtis, and I got together and purchased a pedicure spa kit, bubble bath, and bath pillow. Scott got Mom a music box that had a beautiful poem and played the song The Wind Beneath My Wings. It made mom and I tear up, knowing that it was his last Mother's Day at home for 2 years. Scott spoke in sacrament meeting so many of my aunts, uncles, cousins, and all my grandmothers came to see him speak. Scott cried, and so did I! Mark, Curtis, and I left after he spoke and transferred the food from the townhouse in Morgan to the big house in Peterson. Sunday night we left for home to prepare for the week of work ahead.
Wednesday my kids had computers from 8:35 - 9:15 am. Scott, Mom, and Dad stopped by the school on their way to the MTC during this time. Scott was...well himself. He was sure to mention that his 5th grade teacher's desk would not have been near this dirty, nor would his desk have been as messy as I let my students desk be. I held up amazingly well right until I walked Scott to the door! I hugged my baby brother and gave him one last kiss before a two year mission in South America. He even gave me a kiss good-bye too. I told him I loved him, and he said he loved me (something he has only said to me a handful of times). It was hard to not break out in full tears and I only lasted until he got in the car. As I walked through the halls I tried to stop crying before my kids got back to class. My school secretary offered a hug, but I told her I was fine. As I walked through the copy room our literacy coordinator walked in and gave me a worried look (due to the red face and remains of tears I am sure). Whether she wanted to or not I hugged her and satisfied my emotional need for human contact. I calmed down and was able to finish the day tear free.
Friday our Sister-in-Law had her 4th little girl, but her husband wanted to stay at the hospital with her a little longer so Mark and I went to Lehi to watch Claire, Emmie, and Kaiya for a little bit. We played for about 45 min. and then put the girls to bed. I then fell asleep on the couch while Mark watched TV. When Dennis got back he said both baby Hayden and Tarin were doing well, something we were happy to hear.
Saturday we went to Lagoon with Curtis and spent most of the day standing in line. First we rode The Spider. Next we stood in line for the Colossus (which broke just before our turn). After that we rode some ride that uses centrifugal force as you go in a circle upside down. Then the Bat and Rattle Snake Rapids. After that we stood in line for the Log Flume, which broke down just before our turn, but was fixed so we still got to ride. After that we rode the Jet Star 2, but they wouldn't let Curtis go by himself so he couldn't ride, which stunk. Then the skyway (swings that go over the park from one side to the other) broke as we stood in line. At about five we didn't feel like standing in line for Wicked so we rode another ride or two and then left the park. We met Mom and Dad at Red Robin for dinner and then went with them to the movie Iron Man.
Today we have church in our own ward, for the first time in a month, after that we will try to see if Tarin is taking visitors so we can see the baby.
