on the radiowaves

dear aunt sam,

you have been on my mind. constantly.

tonight paul, nora, & i went to granny's.

i saw your picture in the spare bedroom, the one that gets really cold & has the old toy box with toys that are equally as ancient as granny. the one that you & i used to sleep in when you came to visit & made me stay at granny's with you.

i looked at your picture.

i looked at your hands, the ring on your ring finger, your hair, your makeup. i looked at you.

sometimes when paul prays at night,

he asks Heavenly Father

to send angels

to watch over nora as she sleeps.

i like to believe that

Heavenly Father

sends you.

i long for your phone calls.

i am forgetting your voice.

i think about your pirate mouth, your huge 60 ounce drinks,

your candy dish & candy stashed in various places, your dvd collection,

your nasty basset hound,

your apartment in provo, when you moved to the new house,

your shoe collection,

your perfume, makeup, & hair product collection, your closets packed with clothes.

lots of you... as of late thats what i think about.

so while you wait on the other side of the veil,

i hope you know

i am

thinking of you.

love, kk

little tiny

all things sweet:

oh how i love this little tiny

she is too cute for my words.

but this one is the sweetest.

eternity

eternity: infinite time; duration without beginning or end.

the truths or realities of life & thought that are regarded as timeless or eternal:

january thirtieth will forever be engraved in my mind as one of the happiest days of my life.

even though

the weather was chilly {freezing wind factor!},

my hair was not as i had imagined it to be,

my makeup looked dull {plus i need a tan},

&

mr. mcphee, miss g, & i didn't really match,

january thirtieth is still one of the happiest days of my life.

our sealing was amazing.

much about this day has already been recorded in my journal {including all the details of my heart},

much of what i experienced on january thirtieth is far too personal {& spiritual} to share on my blog,

but

much of this day was shared with my dearest family & friends,

my wonderful husband & beautiful daughter,

&

much of this day is me being forever in love with my eternal hunee.

these were the yummy cupcakes that were served along side some traditional {& very authentic} mexican food at my lunch in. it was delicious.

thank you to everyone who contributed to my january thirtieth.

it.

was.

beautiful.

we mcphees are an eternal family.

letter of love

i heart USPS & our mail carrier: the day after christmas, mr. mcphee & i ventured out {without our little tiny} to spend some of our christmas cash. we were successful, of course. on our way home, we stopped at the mailbox {an event i look forward to everyday} and found this...

enclosed inside,

a letter that warmed my soul.

we get to dress

in

white.

my family can be together forever.
