Day 21
A picture of something that makes me happy
Zumba makes me very happy! I really love it! I have really enjoyed working out and having an hour to just focus on me! Moms need that!
Day 22
What makes you different from everyone else
I guess it is our personalities that really define who we are. I like to think of myself as a very strong person but very weak at the same time. I can be so tough when it comes to Jenna and her issues, but the littlest thing can make me crumble! I am typically a very happy person, and I like that. I enjoy life and I enjoy living my life to the fullest. My dad would probably say that I am tender hearted, which I am. I have a big heart and I enjoy loving!
Day 23
Something you crave
I love these little babies! I have consumed 3 boxes in the last week!! Good thing I go to Zumba huh? They are just perfect.....
Day 24
A letter to your parents
Well this could take hours to write the right way:) So here is my short version
Dear Mom and Dad-
I hope you know that I love you! I miss you more than ever now that you have moved! I really thought that I would be okay with you moving, but about a week after you left I realized I wasn't. I took for granted you being so close to me. I have wonderful memories, but I am selfish and want my mommy and daddy back:)
You have shown me that correct way to live my life by your examples. You have always given me SO much and I truly appreciate it! I am who I am today by your wonderful examples of compassion, love, honesty, trust, and companionship and so much more.
Thank you for raising me in the church. Another thing that so many of us take for granted. I value the times you "made" me go to church, because even if I thought I wasn't listening luckily some of it stuck with me. I am so appreciative of your examples! I feel so blessed to know my family is eternal!
Thank you for loving my children. I love that my kids know and love their grandparents. It is so neat to see the relationships they have formed with you.
Dad, thank you for being such a hard worker. You work so hard for your family, and we appreciate it. You haven't always had it easy and your attitude and love for life is amazing. I feel so blessed to have you as my father!
Mom, thank you for always being there for me. You have been there for me so much over the last two years, thanks just isn't enough. I love spending time with you and all your little quirks:) I love that you love life and being right in the middle of any activity! You are always so willing to help me and I am forever grateful for that!
Thank you for just being you. I love you so much!
Love
Tara

Day 28
Picture of you from last year and one from now

This year (I am not home, best I could do)
Day 29
What have you learned the past month
Life can be hard. I knew it was hard, just not as hard as it has been sometimes. I have learned that when we face a trial we need to rely on our Heavenly Father to help pull us through. I have learned a lot about the Atonement and what it means to me. I think so many of us take that for granted or don't really understand it. I have learned that my Father in Heaven WANTS me to succeed in life and is forever on my side. What a wonderful thing to know.
I also learned that if you love somebody, you can get through anything! Love really can conquer all! I have learned a lot about myself and who I have become over the last few years. I hope to keep my heart and mind open to learning new things.
Day 30
My favorite song
Butterfly Kisses
I just love this song. It makes me think of my Dad and the love he has for each of his daughters. He is such a great man and father! Now that I am married it has new meaning to me also, it makes me think of Kurt and Jenna and his unconditional love for her. There is just something so amazing about the bond between a dad and his daughter.

I would love to hear how Jenna's activation goes. Hopefully you get more excitement then we did. I was all ready with the video camera, waiting for him to light up and say he could hear. It didn't ever really happen. He kind of turned his head at one point...kind of. Maybe since Jenna never got any benefit from hearing aids, the new sound will excite her. I don't think Traxton knew what the sound was since it was so different from before.
When we left Laura's office I was a little discouraged, but we have had quite a few exciting moments since. I am starting to feel like it isn't such a steep hill to climb.
I am very excited for your family to experience this. I don't really know a lot about everything, but if you have any questions maybe I could help. Good luck next week.
