I just typed the entire post and had a computer issue that whiped all of it clean. \u00a0Doh! \u00a0I’ll try to crank this out again.<\/p>\n
Lily is at cooking school, not because she feels good enough for it, but because her final is tomorrow and she wants to finish strong down the home-stretch. \u00a0I feel so bad for all the time she has been sick. \u00a0It seems she has been just a day or two behind me in the sickness and its symptoms. \u00a0I started feeling better today, so my hope is that she will start feeling better by the weekend.<\/p>\n
Work is going really well. \u00a0I found out yesterday that I will be on the South East Sales Team 1 (there are two teams). \u00a0I will start April 1 officially as a Sales Representative. \u00a0It also means I will have to start waking up earlier so I can be making calls in Provo by 8:30 AM ET. \u00a0Yikes!<\/p>\n
Lily is playing piano again! \u00a0She stopped for a bit after slicing her finger, but she is back practicing and I am very happy for two reasons: 1 because I genuinely love hearing her play and 2: because her competition is in TWO MONTHS. \u00a0The good news is that she decided to not play in her second round (even if she advances) so that she wont miss any of her family reunion. \u00a0This means that she only needs practice two pieces instead of four. \u00a0I think that was a great move on her part.<\/p>\n
I don’t think either of us took pictures today, but I will end by telling of a phase that Lydia is going through. \u00a0She is story-telling. \u00a0She tried to tell me a story over the phone at work, but I was short on time and it was hard to hear on the phone what she was saying. \u00a0Lily told her that she could tell me stories when I got home, and that she most certainly did. \u00a0When I got home and was eating with the girls, Lydia asked if she could tell me a story. \u00a0I agreed and she proceeded to tell me no fewer than FIVE stories. \u00a0All of them were a variation of this story-line, “There was a boy who wanted to go up high, so he climbed a bookshelf and then fell off and died. \u00a0Then his mom was sad so she died too. \u00a0Then a bunch of people came over [I presume for the funeral?] and they died too. \u00a0Then a bad man tried to break through the door.” \u00a0After the fifths story like this, I intervined (I don’t know why I waited so long!). \u00a0“Lydia,” I said, “those stories are all so sad. \u00a0Do you have any happy stories?” \u00a0She did! \u00a0She then told me a story about her stuffed cat “Puss” that involved giggles, laughing, singing and maybe even some cake and sprinkles. \u00a0Unfortunately I wasn’t quite as keyed into the happy story as I was to the sad ones…….maybe that’s human nature? \u00a0During her bath later that night, I was on the phone with Jere and I asked Lydia to tell Jere a story. \u00a0At that point, Lydia announced that she only tells stories at the kitchen table. \u00a0Well, I’m glad we go that straightened out. \u00a0She even has rules surrounding her story-telling! \u00a0I love her.<\/p>\n
