So I have to explain the first post on my blog. My wonderful friend Britta created my blog and she included the "Go Penn State" blog. I first met Britta when I (formerly Sister Caldwell) was a missionary in State College Pennsylvania. She was investigating the church and I had the privilege of teaching her the missionary discussions. It was a wonderful time in my life and look back with fondness at the times I had there. I have to reminisce for a moment about some of my favorite Penn State memories:
*Eating otter pops in Britta's dorm
*Going to the creamery for some Peachy Paterno ice cream
*Hiking up Mt. Nittany
*Singing and jumping in puddles one night at on campus.
*Smithie (Alison Smith) - I love her and wish we were still in contact.
*The football games - They were mission approved!
*Taking pictures on the Penn State field - I don't remember how we got in there. I'm sure it was legal.
*Watching Britta get baptized - it made every difficult moment of my mission worth it!
I love you Britta - and thanks again for helping out a technologically delayed sister!
Dear Sister Caldwell,
ReplyDeleteDo you have any idea how much I love you?! We blessed Adalie (baby #4!) on Sunday and while I was bearing my testimony I thought of you and of course spoke of you. I cannot tell you how incredibly grateful I am for you, your example, your service, your sacrifice, your testimony and your faith (and all of the giggles and tears we shared!). You are such an intricate part of who I am today and I mean it when I tell you that you are my hero!
Now let's find 'Smithie'!

p.s. I promise I still have the photos from my baptism that I borrowed from you! They are in storage and I am starting to go through all of that stuff now and will get them back to you!
So I'm trying to get a hold of you as JAZZY PANTS may have a special day coming up this Friday. Looks like he is taking the big white swim!!!!
