This letter was from last week(sorry I am a week behind on EVERYTHING!) We had such a good time talking with her on Mother's Day.  It certainly made my day complete.

Thank you, I hope you know I wish I could have done more, money and time just go by to quickly out here! That is great that you were able to talk to all of us and Asher! I'm sure she had lots to say! Sounds like they are busy up there. Melissa said that you guys were going up to help her move and to see Asher's performance, that will be fun! That's nice that Lauren was able to stay for dinner and that you were able to use your Mother's day gift right then and there! 5 minutes, that's great! Those are handy! I remember my friend Jamie had one of those, he would always cook us steaks on them! I'm sure dad was excited about Lauren's cream puffs too. Don't worry Justin's family will not get sick of you spending time with them. They love you both and our whole family. They always talk about how grateful they are for you and how much they appreciate all you do for Justin and for what wonderful parents you have been. It's exciting that Lauren and Justin both are starting new positions today. I hope all goes well for both of them! I'm sure they will both do great, it will be a great new step for both of them. Are you staying busy with jobs still? Are you getting sick, you sounded a little like you were coming down with something yesterday.  Thank you so much for all that you said in your email. You have no idea how much your and dad's and everyone really but especially the two of you how much the encouragement means to me. I am so lucky and so grateful to have such wonderful, strong, loving and caring parents! THank you for all you do. It was so wonderful to be able to talk to you yesterday! 7 more months and we can do it again! YAY! =) I love you so much and hope you have a great week! Can't wait to hear from you again soon! Love, Leslie

Hi! It was SO good to talk to you all yesterday! I loved every minute of it, I think saying goodbye was one of the hardest things. Thank you so much for talking to me! It was so good to hear your voices and to hear how you are all doing! It was definitely a good pick me up that I needed. I would LOVE a copy of the outline that you used for Lauren's youth conference, I think that would be so neat to have. And I remember looking through those flip charts when I was little. I remember you talking about them and going through them with us. Those would be great to have as well! I'm glad to hear that the funeral went well. I was sad to hear, but she is in less pain now and in a better place. She was a wonderful lady, as is his grandmother. It means a lot that you and mom were able to go. His grandmother does think of you and mom as family and loves you both a lot. She always talks about how wonderful you both are and what amazing parents you have been! It's true too! That's fun that you will be able to go over for Justin's birthday he loves spending time with you two and loves the support that you give him. It really means a lot to him! He always talks about how if he has questions that he'll go to you and mom and how your opinions mean so much, he really looks up to you two! I love that!! So thank you so much for helping him and watching out for him! Well I think I told you about most of what has been going on yesterday, like I said doing a lot of finding, but the colleges are getting out soon around here so we will be able to get back in contact with a lot of the people we were teachign that have been really busy with school and finals so that's exciting! We have a lot of appts this week which is great, now hopefully they all just go through! =) Whatever happens it's for a reason. Thank you again for all you do and for your encouragement. It's harder out here than I thought it would be but with pray and your encouragement I know I can get through and make the most of my time out here! I love you so much and hope you have a great week! Can't wait to hear from you again! Love, Leslie
