Trains, Coffee, Books, & Church

Hana isn't your typical girly girl. At age one she was given v tech cars and now she has Thomas Trains. She even watches episodes of Thomas. Hana is obsessed with her trains! She puts them together (they have a magnet on each end), pushes them along, and then separates them. She makes train sounds. She knows most of their names. Friday morning I couldn't get her to go outside unless I allowed her to take a couple of trains with us. It's fun to see her taking an interest in trains.

I bought her Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You Hear? book and she loves it. I got it because it was the first book my sister, Katie read/memorized. She also has a Spot the dog book where Spot's mom is looking around the house for Spot. I make the animal sounds for each animal she finds. She's learning hippo and alligator.

So I've gone a week without drinking coffee and limiting my juice and sugar intake. I was really tired. I'm drinking flavored water and plain water. I bought a Pure water filter for my casita. I also ordered some water supplement drops recommended by my friend, Alison. I look forward to seeing how they help improve my health.

I've been feeling the urge to read scriptures and go to the LDS church. I wanted to go today but I couldn't get a car. I haven't read anything yet but I plan on doing so.

I mentioned before that I met a nice guy at church in SLC back in June. What I didn't mention was how significant it was for me. Honesty I haven't been attracted to anyone in years. I've missed obsessing whether the guy I like likes me too. It makes me feel like a member of the human race again. I'm looking forward to visiting in August. I get lonely here.
