Aunt Cool and Uncle Nate Dogg from afar

This Friday my first niece(only my first because she came before Nathan and I admitted we were in love) will be 1 years old. Morgandy Skye Moran is so stinkin' cute. Since we live in Montana, we can't go to her party. But we did send a toy that I hope to get for myself one day. It a barn with farm animals that have fun facts, tell colors, and a frog that plays 5 different banjo songs. It was so fun to play with and it took everything in me to 1. send it and 2. not open it up and play with it. I was just on Myra's blog and got to see some of the cutest pictures of Mo. Thanks for sharing Myra. I will share with you too... www.myramoran.blogspot.com
Enjoy!

We are not so much desperate as... we miss you.

So fall in Missoula is beautiful, and we are having a wonderful time in God's creation. Hope you all are well, and hope this inspires some.

Adam's comforting words

Lately I have been struggling with bad dreams of Adam. I close my eyes and replay the last night I was in Uganda. Its so hard because that is not how I want to remember him. I don't want to be scared of my cousin.
Last night I had a dream about him...kinda. For some reason both Nathan and my family were together at a sports store. It was kinda like a reception for us. I was with Nathan's mom and Morgandy. Morgandy was talking to Peggie, asking her if she could borrow some crayons. Ben came up with a Mvule tree. He sat it down and gave me a hug. Then he said that Kym and the boys were here with someone else. I went to find Kym and when I did I saw Adam. I kept my distance because I didn't know if he was real or if this was going to end up bad again. I hugged Kym and went over to Nathan. Then Uncle Terry came up and said,"can you see Adam?" I said yes but stayed next to Nathan, still unsure. Adam walked up to me and said,"Congratulations, I like him." Then he hugged me and said,"you don't have to be scared anymore." And then he left.
I feel like I can have some peace now. When I woke up from my dream I told Nathan that I had talked to Adam. This may be weird but I feel like it was real. I prayed for a peaceful rest for everyone last night. I hope this helps!

A fun chain

A few weeks ago Nathan decided to make a countdown chain for his sister and her son, who had a hard time adjusting to school too. So last week we decided to start on them since October was coming up. I started making one chain and had lots of fun doing it. I decided that is other sister, Leslie and her family needed one too. Just the thought of counting down the days until I didn't have to come to school made me so excited. So I had Nathan make me one too. Its hanging in our kitchen and I've gotten to take off 4 rings so far. Its so much fun. I think there should be a countdown chain for everything. By the way I'm doing much better with my attitude towards school. I won't tell you that I like it because I am way to stubborn to admit it, but its not as hard to go in the mornings like it use to be.
