Well, I'll start off with a weight loss update. I've lost 14 pounds now! I'm super excited. I feel so much better in so many ways. It's great. I've got a way to go, but I'm trying to just think about it a few pounds at a time.
Tae is doing well. She's so funny. I wish I would remember to write everything down that makes me laugh. She's been asking about her brown skin lately. I've always told her how beautiful her brown skin is, but lately she's been comparing hers to mine. Well, she's also been asking about her dad. So, I told her she got brown skin because her dad's skin is black and when it mixed with my skin, it made hers brown. Well, I don't really think she understood what black skin was, so I found a picture of her dad and pointed out the difference between his color and mine. Well, my mom was watching her later that day and Tae said something about her being half black and half white to my mom. Then she got a little confused and held out her arms and said "Grandma, which half is black, and which half is white?" LOL - oh my goodness, I got a kick out of that when my mom told me. I'm trying to make her aware of things now because I just don't know how kids will react when she gets to school. I think there are enough "mixed" children now that nothing will be said, but I don't want it to catch her off guard.
Another exciting update - I was able to go through the temple yesterday to receive my endowments. It was such an amazing experience. It was overwhelming at times but I can't wait to go again and often so I can understand it better. My mom, Aunt Jennifer and Aunt Marcella went with me. It was so nice to have their support. Jennifer took some pictures that I will try to get on here soon.
OH - and our cat had 3 kittens...anybody want one?????
