What a difference a day makes?

So just after I awoke (it was pretty late today) I received a phone call from my Mom telling me that my dear Poppa had passed away. We knew this day was coming soon. He has been sick with congestive heart failure for many years and within the last few weeks he was place in Hospice care. Today I have been in a fog. I made travel arrangements, bought a suitcase, and made guest teacher plans for the three days I will be gone. In the back of my mind continued to be this thought I wish there was someone here to hold me up through this. As I reflect on my day there have been many people to hold me up. My dear friends who are sacrificing their sleeping in time to take me to the airport. My friends who are texting me during their time in Disneyland with hugs, kisses and love. My friends who I didn't even have to ask to watch over my house and get my mail, she offered first. My coworkers who offered to help me in any way they could. These are the people that I have in my life. I am extremely thankful for all of these wonderful people in my life. It is good for me to remember that I have all of these blessings in my life. Sometimes I am quick to forget about these blessings and wish for that ONE person. Be careful there Ms. Melissa. You already know who your Savior is.

Time for a Man Plan

Well, now that the National Board box has been mailed I have decided that it is time for an actual Man Plan. The steps that I have taken so far obviously are not producing much in the category of dates. If and when there are dates they are usually only first, maybe second dates. It is time for me to take a different approach and spend some actual time on this mystery. I am a wonderful person. There are many fantastic qualities that I possess and there is no reason why a man wouldn't want to spend his life with me. I know that keeping this confidence in myself is part of the process. I also realize that this journey may help me to recognize other things about myself that may be challenging to face. I hope that during this process I will have fun along the way, maybe find some new places to enjoy and I truly hope that I meet the man of my dreams. Step one: Research.
