I love the first day of school, even when it's not me taking classes. I live vicariously through Josh at this point. I memorize his class schedule, read over his syllabi, leaf through his brand new textbooks, and enjoy the idea of a fresh start. No A is out of reach at the beginning of a new semester!
Guy is napping *woo hoo* and we have a Jeep Patriot that's a really dorky blue while our car is in the shop. About a week is what we're told.
My dishes are piled high from a weekend of feeling sick, but probably won't take too long to finish once I do them. I have a load of whites (think handkerchiefs) to pick up from the laundry and some more laundry to fold that never got done yesterday.
But above all? I feel positive about life. I worry sometimes about the world and Satan's attempts to defile marriage and all that I hold sacred. I worry about raising children strong enough to stand up for what's right at whatever cost. I worry about trying to keep our bodies as free of toxins as possible. But today the Lord has given me peace to know that there are many things I can do. The most important of which is to trust in Him.

I always love the beginning of the semester in Provo too :) And as far as worrying about our "world," I empathize with that one and I have to go back to my scriptures and just trust in the Lord. But it's scary sometimes. I think that focusing on positive relationships is really the best way to go. Relationships with the Lord, your spouse, children, family members and then no matter what happens (even if there are toxins or a proposition or children going astray--that you can't control) you will be happy because isn't that what the gospel is about. Good news--and what's good news if you can't be happy with people. Anyway...that's my take on it.
You worry too much. You need some Kristi time :) (any excuse to see you :) )
