I is for . . .

First of all, I is for ISABELLE . . ."IZZY". What an angelic little cherub. She knows Grandma only through webcam, since its been 7 months since I've seen her, and she was too young then to hold onto the memory. Izzy is a tad bit tomboy, with a sprinkle of shyness and giggles wrapped up in a chubby-legged gerber baby body. She obviously wants to catch Riley in development, as she is eager to learn new words, and sit on the potty. We are counting the days til we can smother her in kisses. I is for IDAHO. What a privilege it is to live in such a beautiful state. You've heard of the wonders our land does possess, It's beautiful valleys and hills. The majestic forests where nature abounds - I love every nook and rill. There's truly one state in this great land of ours where IDEALS can be realized - the pioneers made it so for you and me, a legacy we'll always prize. That is IDAHO. Okay . . so I borrowed the lyrics from the state song, but they are so lovely I could not resist. I is for IDLENESS. People who use the phrase "I'm bored" confound me. I have never been bored a day of my life. There is always something to be done. Have you read your scriptures? Cheered someone up that was having a bad day? When was the last time you cleaned your kitchen cabinets, or taken dinner to a shut-in? Have you sorted and priced everything for your yard sale, or written thankyou cards to everyone who you owe a debt of gratitude to? I am not perfect in ANY of these areas . . .but that is exactly my point. I do watch alot of TV, but I feel guilty if I am not folding clothes, paying bills, etc. while I do. And of course, at the moment I am watching The Bachelor and blogging. See?
