08/24/86 Dimanche (Sunday) Last day at Colette's!

I can't believe how screwed up my emotions are.  I am always on the verge of tears.  I still have 24 hours to kill here and then another 30-36 at orientation.  I just want to go home.

I organized all my things and packed all my hanging clothes except what I'm gonna wear until Wednesday.  I have only 1F so I hope I don't need money before I get home.  I am hoping to get all my things into 2 bags but I don't know if it is possible.  I still have loads of history to do but I need other books to finish.

Things between Colette and I are tense but ok.  I think she realizes I don't really like her and I don't think she likes me much although we have been holding small conversations today and we are going to a movie.  I want to go home so bad I could just pop.  I think that is why I'm so emotional.  I'm glad I got to spend time with the Dulys.

My French improved lots.  2 people asked me questions at the train station and I understood and answered them.

I'm gonna write a thank you note and leave it up here for her to find after I'm gone.  We raen't going to the movie - oh well. And great news!  Tonya and I are together at orientation!!

By 2 p.m. tomorrow we are supposed to meet.  That means I will be here only until 12! Great!

No details yet and Tonya doesn't know.  I even had a conversations with Md LaPorte and Colette . It was wild.  She understood most of what I was staying.  Colette didn't because she doesn't care but it's ok.  Colette was even laughing at me when I messed up by Md LaPort was patient and kind.  It was neet.

Nothing exciting.  Small conversation.  Wrote music and played solitaire. I'm so excited to go home!

I weigh 143 - more than I've weighed in over a year.  I'm still disgusted but I don't feel fat here.  Last week I really felt good about me. I still do.

Bon Soir

06/16/25-06/20/25 Yellowstone

We had a really great week on our Yellowstone trip. We stayed at a VRBO cabin in a remote cabin in Ashton, Idaho. It was just right for our group. We were able to go to Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Mesa Falls, the Yellowstone Playhouse, Lava Hot Springs Pools and Slides.  We drove lots, played games, did puzzles, roasted hot dogs, made s'mores, enjoyed picnic lunches, ice cream at the frost top, dinners together made by each lil family and so much more.  Loved it! (There are lots more pictures in our shared Yellowstone google album. Also, these pictures are not in order of happening. )

06/14/25 Pre-Yellowstone

Last year for Christmas I purchased a vacation to Yellowstone for the kids and us. The dates for the Yellowstone cabin were June 16-June 20. We decided to break the trip up a little and drive up the weekend before and drive home the weekend after. Also, because Katie got married, and Dallas has limited time off, he was unable to take his family on the trip. We stayed at his house and got some twin time in before we continued north.  Aspen and John moved to Pennsylvania and are in Utah for the summer. On our way up north we stopped at Becky's house to see them and their sweet new baby.  Erik recently got a new job so he was also not able to join us on our trip. Holly became our little girl again and traveled with us.  Holly and Millie My dad's been in the care center so we stopped by to visit him. He's being well cared for. He is struggling to put sentences together. We came and went to church with him at the care center. He's been asking for a really good pizza. So we w...

10/10/95 Journal Entry - Still no house!!!! But feeling blessed

10/10/95 Still no house - maybe this week.  Haha. Money ran out of the last issue on the people right before us.  More money may come in at a lower rate.  We'll have to see. Dallas is really growing up in a hurry. He is crawling very well on his knees, standing up on things and moving while holding furniture.  He's been really fussy this past week.  Maybe a cold or teeth.  I don't know.  I held him on the coucn all night Saturday. he is really a mama's boy and cries when I leave or come in the room. AJ is also growing up fast.  He's so independent.  He knows what he wants and often gets it.  Saturday Gma and Gpa Griffin were leaving to go home and Aj said, "Where are you going?". Grandma says, "Home to Salt Lake City."  AJ says, "Ok, just a minute I'll get my shoes on!" He is a really good looking little boy.  I sure am lucky to have such a neat family. Andy's been busy training Dean Rock.  Last two weeks he do...
