Dear Grandma...

Dear Grandma,

I feel tired. Yes, still from what we talked about a few days ago. Will it ever settle? I sure hope so, but to bring me back to earth I wanted to share just a few of my most favorite days of my life that I have been lucky enough to catch on camera. My sweet Maisy Jane coming into this world is one of my favorite days. Having her gave me confidence to continue building our family and also reassured me that I do not need to be institutionalized after a child birth. This day was a day that I had been praying for since Oak was born. The Lord heard me and answered. Another favorite day of mine was mine and Aaron's first date. It was October of 2005 at a Single's Ward Halloween Party. He showed up as metero-sexual(a guy who is straight but dresses like a homosexual) uhhh whatever. He is a dork and I still don't get it. I was a clown. He had me smitten that first night by asking me while looking at a very curious individual standing in the haunted house line "Is that a man or a woman?". I knew we would fit together like pees and carrots. My life with him has been perfect ever since. Another special day was when the family came up to Salt Lake in 2008 for Thanksgiving. We went and walked Temple Square with Teri and her husband and she snapped this picture of Oak and I at the Tabernacle. The family was happy, times were simple, and how precious of a picture is that. I feel so blessed to have something that beautiful look at me everyday. One more favorite day was the day we traveled to Arizona and introduced baby Oaklee to Great-Great Grandma Leavitt. This was a living testimony to me. Watching grandma's aged hands delicately touch Oee's new soft fingers is something that is forever ingrained in my soul. Five living generations and I got to witness this precious women with her "little rugrat". This was a good day. Okay now that I have vented and focused on the positive I feel better. I can't wait to see you tomorrow. I love you!!!

Love, your granddaughter, Rotten Rach
