july 24th (pioneer day) will be a big to-do this year for my family- i can't help but feel immense gratitude and awe for this story. it must be celebrated!
AND- i thought it would be a cool fhe to have a weigh in. like, pretend that we are going to be headed west, and all we can take is 17lbs each, and even less for the kids. i could have them gather what they would need to take and we could talk about all that we would leave behind- and tell the grand story of the pioneers. and talk about how grateful we are for what we have. i am swept away by this story! thanks for the challenge sister salena.

but not excited about them losing little arthur parker- what the heck??? that broke my heart. read it!!!! excitedly!!!!
i need to buy this book, it'll be perfect for the drive to LA and then the flight to HI. i'm excited for a good book. i haven't been checking books out from the library so that i feel more motivated to do productive house/moving stuff. it hasn't really worked, i just watch more tv. :)
