My Essay for the Week

Hi All,
Megan, you have snared me into replying. I loved this essay you wrote on silence. It is something I fight for everyday but usually to no prevail. Because of this I haven't participated 100% to this essay thing going on. But today my kids are uncharacteristicly sleeping in. The older ones are at school and the two younger are still asleep. It is 9:34 and I have decided to enjoy my 'silents' instead of taking a shower and preparing for the day. (sleep on kids, sleep on!) I've spent my time catching up with reading your essays. They are so telling into each of your personalities. I sometimes wish I could have more time so you can all get to know my personality better as well. Then I realized if I titled some of my emails better like "essay for this week" or something like that, that I am sharing something of myself but in my own way. My latest essay would be the picture of Peter. Noone commented, so I hope you all got it. Or the video of Marshall and his Lepricon trap. My children are my essays in person--and I took an hour trying to get that picture. That should tell something about me and be interesting for you to "read". Also, I thought about sending my seminary letters I write every week for my seminary students. I try to put some thoughtful insite into them, but then they are filled with quotes and thoughts of others. They also take me an hour to write. But I don't think I'll bother you with those. Or I will just enjoy the few small moments of silence I can muster up each week and read about your lives instead. That sounds better. But, know that I am here and I think all of you are great and inspiring. I can't wait to see you all at the reunion.
