Day five: a Place

At first, I wasn't totally sure what to put for a place... And then it came to me...

What place do I love?

What place do I want to be?

What place has my heart?

What place shaped me?

Can you answer these questions?

Well, if not I will tell you anyway...

WYOMING

Yeppers, my HOME state!

2001 Official State Map of Wyoming

The thing is, it kinda encompasses a lot of little places that mean so much to me. 
  • I was born in Casper... 
  • I lived in Mills, right by where the Mormon Ferry was run at Fort Caspar. 
  • I loved going to Grammy and Papa's house in LaGrange. 
  • I loved to stop at Fort Laramie and see the old historical site.
  • My daddy took me fishing at Alcova Reservoir, and Pathfinder Reservoir.
  • We moved to Laramie, that is where I met my sweetheart, James.
  • I had family all over the state.
  • I have family all over the state now...
  • And some of my favorite people live there...
I am so very grateful to this place. It shaped me. It calls to me. I miss my state. I will always be grateful  for meeting my love there. I want to go back. I want to be near my nieces and nephews since I do not have any children of my own. I crave the love they give me... Someday soon...

Newborn, Nephew and Niece

We got to Pinedale on Friday night. It was a pretty decent drive, considering the weather was supposed to be a lot worse. I saw several herd of deer, an enormous herd of antelope, and lots of dead deer along the side of the road. I also saw a few bunnies.

Yesterday (Saturday) Donna was my buddy most of the day. She's quite a character and if you can actually get the binky out of her mouth she can be sort of chatty. We played and we colored and she ate chicken.

Poor RJ though, he woke up at 6 am not feeling well, had a fever. Then around 9 am he was throwing up, Teresa was hollering at me to come get Donna cause she was in the thick of it (not literally--but she wanted to see what was going on). He came out and laid in the recliner chair. He did throw up again later, poor guy. He felt pretty miserable yesterday. He's feeling a ton better today.

I think one of the best parts of yesterday was holding Mackenzie though, that or watching her sleep with Uncle James, he held her for a long time. She just laid on his chest and slept. It was very sweet. It's funny because the first time I offered for him to hold Mackenzie, he didn't want to, he was scared to, but then when he finally held her, well then he wanted to keep her. Once he even took her from me, telling her what a beautiful baby she is, it was very sweet.

Then there was Donna taking Uncle James's nose, she did it twice, it was cute. Even when Uncle James told RJ he loved him, RJ said it back. Uncle James has needed his loves from his kidlets, it helps make him feel better.

Then today (Sunday) Donna was so sweet, she kept wanting to give baby kisses. She's go up, put her lips on Kenzie's head and then pull back and make a smacking sound with her lips. She's so sweet she loves her baby sister. Then she had me put just a little bit of make-up on her, so she was pretty (I hardly put anything on her, plus it was hard to put lipstick on her since she had slobbery lips from her bink being in her mouth--but she thought I put it on, so that's what counts).

RJ is playing his new Star Wars Lego game in his room and we are watching a movie. I know at some point we have to head out for home, but I am not sure when that will be...

Apparently mom bought matching Easter dresses for the girls in St. George. She said they have pink eyelet and little flowers and are just little cotton dresses that are cute, not frilly. She sounded excited.

Anyway, I've rambled quite a bit here but I wanted to write some of this down. Anyway, I say anyway way too much, but maybe that is a topic for another post, another day.

Until next time...
