I wish...

The other day, Connor told he that he really likes the new house, but there are 4 things that he wishes for, and he listed them in this order:

1. That he would still share a room with Isabel. He said, and I quote, "I really love Isabel and Lucas, but I just like Isabel a lot more." They were surely partners in crime when they shared a room, and he misses that. (She, however, is loving her own room).

2. That I would still go to Primary with him. I was the president the whole time he's been in Primary, so this is an adjustment for him. I didn't think he'd care at all! Nice to know I am loved after all.

3. That he could grow up.

4. That he could get married.

I'm not sure what #3 and 4 have to do with moving, but they are on his wish list. Seriously, he is very obsessed lately with who he will marry (we repeatedly have to tell him it won't be Isabel), when he'll get married, where he'll meet a nice girl (he wants to meet her at a football game), how many kids he'll have, where his kids are now, etc. Sheesh! Just be a kid!

My own wish list:

1. Less spiders (we do seem to have a much higher number of house spiders, most of which are small and non-scary, but Brian just smooshed a big bad boy with an interesting look. Connor thought the spider was eating a ladybug, but in fact, that was just its large orangeish-red body part.

2. A Target closer by (I am learning to accept this, though)

3. Renters for the townhome

4. Warmer weather and a significant decrease in the mosquito population in Minnesota before we head north on July 1. It's been not so pleasant there.

And on the flip side, a couple of wishes that have been granted:

1. I am loving our new ward. It is FANTASTIC.

2. Just learned there is a brand-new library in our town, so I don't have to go so far for books.

3. I am married to a great guy who is a terrific father. Happy Father's Day to Brian, and to our dads who love us and support us.
