Convention Bound!
Tomorrow we head over to O'ahu for Convention, and can't wait for the feast. I'm getting my heart ready; the needier the better.

Greetings From Freezing Cold Waimea
So now that the excitement has finally started settling down and I feel like I can - *breathe*, I will update my much neglected blog. It's a typical Waimea fall day - cloudy and sporatically rainy. I feel colder here than I was in WA. :-P
We left for Washington in a hurry after learning that my husband's best friend, Ira, had a heart attack and passed away suddenly. Ira left a young family; a wife he was very much in love with and married to for just two and a half years, and two very young children, Abbie (5), and Ethan, (8?). The shock and sorrow we felt from his passing was softened immensly by the quality time we spent with our families. The outings with all 5 girls in tow were extremely enjoyable, although it did give us a reality check that, yes, they are growing up! WAH! No more work outs getting them all hoisted in the car and wrestling them in to the car seat, no more toggling sippy cups and snack packs, no more tantrums, and most enjoyably, NO MORE DIAPERS (although potty breaks did take a MINIMUM of 10 minutes - it's quite the circus)!!!
Here are some of my favorite pics from the trip:
Tomorrow is election day. I don't know if I can wait - see my post from yesterday. I try not to get too politically outspoken, in sensitivity to those that don't feel the same way I do. In light of that, I'm not going to go and blow it now! :-)

We had union meeting here in our home yesterday. As always, it was a wonderful occassion, followed by some major excitement. Glad everything turned out OK.
Thoughts are already at convention (can't wait; we camp out and although it takes me all 4 days to get adjusted to the "tent" noises and farm smells, I love it) and what will be there for me, spiritually. I feel soooo needy right now, and I think that's the way it should be.
Aloha \nnn/
