Odd things.
Jon crocheted me a shawl for our first Christmas. It was funny because I thought he was a total nerd. He would crochet while at work as a lab worker on campus. (So he would be surrounded by other college students and be crocheting as he sat at his station until someone needed help.) He carried around a bag with yarn and would pull it out when he had nothing to do.
He made me the shawl because I was always cold at church. I brought it a few times, but it wasn’t really my style, it’s more my mom’s style, or grandma. ๐
It works wonderfully as a personal blanket during winter months, so it does get used.
I was coldรย this Sunday at church, as usual.รย Later that day we were cuddling on the couch and he asked me about bringing my shawl to church.
I replied it wasn’t really my style.
He told me someday I’d grow into it.
Today while in the car I sat in the backseat with Lilah. We had a rough time getting out of the house and Lilah wanted cuddles, so Jon drove and I was chauffeured around.
Lilah made the observation that if we had a third baby we wouldn’t be able to take Carolyn to Utah with us. So we shouldn’t have a third child.
I guess I should go get my tubes tied now.

I agree with Lilah. No more babies or you need a bigger car.

Jon is a nerd. But that’s okay. I am too!
Someday you will grow into that shawl!
