It’s good to be Meg Willardson

Beautiful Quincy got to go to the temple this week!! The Seoul temple is not in her mission boundary, so she only gets to attend once, maybe twice during her whole mission. She was sooo happy.

The water bottles I ordered in May just arrived 😂 

Logan and Ryan said they are “finally official” now that they can add their own water bottles to the corner counter with the rest. Welcome to the family, boys. 

Took the trips to see the live action Moana. Music is 10/10. I’ll give it a 3/10 simply bc nothing was real. This earth is so beautiful. Just film in real locations. “Live action” should really be referred to as “CGI version”.  Cute movie though. Lovely actress and music. Dwane Johnson’s ridiculous wig is 11/10. Very funny. 

I’m not usually a very prepared traveler, but after not being able to buy ibuprofen for a fever in Croatia, you’ll never find me in a foreign country without some meds on hand. we are still in Utah and Corbin has already used all the mucinex. Aaron’s child for sure.  

Beating Aaron in Duo this week was my biggest flex. I just hit 175 days 👊🏼

Yes my kids work at Crumbl, but sometimes you need the best* sugar cookie. Which only I can provide for myself 😂

Isaac/big Chloe brought a girl home. Mama Meg approves. On Sunday, Tiffany pointed out that Addie was flanked by mothers of the two daughters who never dated Issac, but both care immensely about his profile and would 100% be screening his relationships if they were here. Sloane stepped up as substitute and as Chloe’s biggest fan she gives full approval of the girlfriend. 

Also super great to have Clive’s in town last week. We gathered to swim at Saumi’s and the kids had so much fun. It was a dream to float with Mardee, daughter Campbell, and Mary and Ali. I had 29 texts and two voicemails from adult children when I got out of the pool. Can a mother hang out with friends for an hour? 

Reese is an organizational master. Is there a college degree for this gift? Doesn’t matter, she already has a masters. this girl can make order of any space and it is a gift. She has been slowly working her way through my mom’s home and purging her own boxes of teen and early college memories. 

Patti on John’s lane is finally selling her lake home on lake Ann. It needs a MAJOR remodel but it is THE dream location for me. Best lot on the lake. My biggest dream. 

Timing/expense are not in our favor and I am going to watch the house that I have remodeled in my sleep for the last 5 years go on the market this week. I’m kind of sad that this pipe dream is not coming true for me. I could tolerate this as my backyard view. So beautiful! 

I taught the metfield ward activity days kids about bees this week. Super fun. 

Aaron and I took ourselves on a dinner date one night. We laughed that he’s a same side of the booth guy now. 

Not really, the sun was in his eyes on the other side. But our side by side dinner was hilarious. We texted this pic to the kids and they had strong opinions about it as well. We cried over their funny Gen Z responses. “L move, dad.” 😂

It is too hot in Arkansas rn. Sooo humid, but zero rain. It’s gross. 

Esme finished a cute painting number craft this week. 

Reese gasped and pulled this from my parents shelf in disapproval, “Grammie! Spicy!” Then she died laughing, “I am so dyslexic!” She didn’t recognize the cursive C as font and thought my parents had a book called “the Arousal” out for display. Richard Paul Evans you dirty dog.  💀💀💀 we have laughed about this for a solid week. And not that I’m in Utah, my mom and I have laughed more. 

No lettuce because I can’t be getting a vegetable diarrhea parasite the day before my trip, but it’s BLT season and these are going non stop at my house. Logan is a BLT convert and announced this to be the best sandwich he’s ever eaten. Nicely said, new favorite child. ;)
