Marie,
It was good to hear your excited voice tonight. Thanks for that. That is super fun about the boys playing soccer, I am excited to see those pictures. That’s also fun about that lady you met. Convince her to convince her friends to change their minds– you can do it.
I love you so much, I wish we could talk more on the phone. I didn’t hear about what the other realtor said.
Tomorrow I am going to be locked in the housing unit all day long. So I’ll probably be checking the email a lot, because, that is just the way it goes when you have limited options as to what you can do.
With the broken window, I realized if feels like I am living outside 24/7. There are so many other broken windows, the inside temperature mirrors the outside temperature for the most part. I don’t mind being outside, but I have limited clothing options. I am going to need a sweater and a knit cap here pretty soon. Right now it is doable with the sweet pants and the 4X long sleeve shirt I have. I am not winning any beauty contests in here, not that I’m trying to impress anyone.
I love you, tell me more about the things going on, you don’t realize how much you do have to say. Just say what you are feeling.
Love,
Taylor
Hello honey, It was great talking to you tonight. I miss you so much. What can I share…I’m incredibly tired- the problem I have is that I can easily go to bed at night…too easily, but I wakeup around 2am with nightmares and then can’t go back to sleep, so I keep up with that sleep cycle.
Tomorrow we have a volunteer meeting- we are going to start doing those weekly, so we can check in with our volunteers.
I looked at the calendar today and got so excited thinking about how close we are to coming to visit you. That is going to be so great.
I got some more money today from Alise, to help with commissary. How much do you need for your upcoming clothes purchase?
I am curious how the debate will go tomorrow. I wasn’t surprised by Biden’s debate performance but I don’t even know what to expect with Kamala.
I look forward to talking to the other mom next week at soccer. It’s kind of funny going to things like that because most of the moms are younger-so I always get funny responses when they ask how old my kids are, and I tell them I have a 18 year old daughter. funny.
Fisher and Elise started playing a game online today. It was so cute to see them playing together and hear their conversations- they have a cute little relationship. Ben’s swim was really good- I just really hate that they get done so late and that it is EVERY night. He loves it, of course. It just makes for a long night for the kids.By the time we come home, have scriptures and prayers and a little snack, we have to hurry to head to bed- so everything is super rushed. It is super nice that Julia takes some of those nights- definitely gives some relief.
On the devotional call last week one of the guys asked me what we would do when you came home-…if we would take some sort of vacation or something like that. I told him that I miss the regular days. I would just love to be together, spending time with the kids, and just hold each other. I miss you so much.
Your parents asked if you were okay. I guess they haven’t heard from you for a little bit and it sounds like you may have not responded to a message your dad sent….I thought I would pass that along.
What else…I’m laying here in bed- Fisher put the Goldberg’s on. I’d rather sleep in silence, but there’s something comforting about having it on, like it used to be when you were home.
Well…I’m going to hit that hay. I’ll be dreaming of you tonight. Miss you and love you so much, Marie

Marie,
I wake up at 2am every night, but I usually go right back to bed, but I always whisper, I love you, as I look up at your picture.
It is exciting how close we are to the visits. It’s awesome you have some volunteers to help with things, that is just awesome. Let me know how that goes.
I don’t know how much I need for clothing, I am trying to buy it all off the yard so it only will cost $10-20, otherwise it will cost me closer to $100-150. I’ll let you know what I can get off the yard. That is so sweet of Alise. Let her know I miss our chats, and can’t wait to do them again How is Bruno doing? He is home now, must be really nice.
You are a very young 43 year old babe, super hot, really cute, and of course kind. I miss showing you off at kids sports. I really miss you cute booty. Wish I could see more of it.
That is so great that Elise and Fisher are chatting, how fun is that. The internet and games are going to be a interesting way the kids can stay in touch. Ben has practice EVERY night? Should we do our calls at a different time? I always feel like you are rushing around when I call..
I miss our regular days, a vacation would be nice though. I feel torn between being with you and being with the kids. It would be nice to do a vacation in two room suite.
I’ll reach out to my parents, I remember the email. It was a short one and it was the day I did a email fast. I got all distracted after we talked and I replied to things.
Bryce emailed me this morning asking if we were moving to N. Idaho, I guess Ben texted Nathan…lol I guess we know what Ben wants.
I miss you so much babe. Today I’ll be locked in all day. I am watching the news right now, it’s mostly about the debate tonight.
Love you,
Taylor
