But I do have good news. Stacy went to apply for a job this summer at the MTC. They told her not to get her hopes up because they have so many applicants. They sent her an e-mail that they were considering her. This week she got a call and they wanted to set up an appointment for an interview. That was at 2:30 on Friday. We left the MTC and headed to Walmart and she got a call. She got the job. She will be teaching Spanish! WHAT A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE. She is so excited. She will be perfect working there! She will work 20 hours a week and the pay is good. Tender Mercies!
We dropped them off on Saturday and we were leaving Provo and I got this really strong feeling that this is where they are supposed to be. I LOVE THE HOLY GHOST! And Lexapro! It doesn't make me miss them less, but it helps to know that they are on the right track.
I fixed Sol-Rio Burritos for dinner the night before they left and Rockwoods came and brought them a going-away present. Hangers and goodies! How Nice!
New Hangers!
Judy, Nicole, Stacy, Grandma and Grandpa
Ryan, Stacy, Cole, Grandma and Grandpa!
New job at MTC!
Me and my girls!
Jerry, Mae, Cole and Me!

I have SO much to say after this post! :
The Holy Ghost truly does rock!
Your girls are SO cute! Love the new hair cuts.
YAY! For great jobs at the MTC! Nice to be making some good money on the side while going to school too. I'm sure it will look great on a resume' as well.
And..........how is your mom's hand doing? Is it healing okay? She looks happy, so I hope that means no more pain.
Glad you are home again. Sorry you are missing your girls. But SO glad you felt the peace that they are where they should be.
Welcome home Judy.
I cannot believe how much Nicole looks like you. She is gorgeous!
Good Luck to your girls and especially you.
Your girls are both gorgeous!!! Hopefully they come back OFTEN!! :) Maybe we could plan a trip down there for a weekend?!
Your not alone - I know that doesn't help. We have several relatives and friends who are in your boat only with boys. I think they are glad to drop them off but are hopeful they will make changes in their lives with this new experience. We had our nephew's family for dinner last night. They are here from Arkansas to drop their son off. He will be working for us and hopefully we can influence him to go to college and a mission.
Your girls will do super. They will love all the dating and social life. Where is Stacy going to school? Did Nicole find work? It will be a great experience for Stacy working at the MTC
You have darling girls. I feel for you.
Luv U forever,
Sandy
Wow, that is sad and amazing at the same time! I am so excited 4 Stacy to get that job. Keep us posted on how they are doing.
I'm sure it is bittersweet but I have to tell ya, your girls are so beautiful and even though I don't know them that well they emanate it inside and out. Good luck to them (and you ;) ).
My name is Bob Lane and i would like to show you my personal experience with Lexapro.
I am 51 years old. Have been on Lexapro for 6 months now. Wasn't strong enough for me. Had only mild benefit for depression. For five of the six months I was on it, it worked very well for social anxiety, but kinda pooped out toward the end. Added Wellbutrin at varying doses to address the sleepiness and libido/orgasm issues, but still suffered. Then tried Cymbalta with disasterous results. Might try Zoloft now.
I have experienced some of these side effects-
Extreme sleepiness. When possible, I slept for 12-16 hours a day for the entire six months I took Lexapro. Marked decrease in libido. Completely anorgasmic. Other side effects were mild or non-existent.
I hope this information will be useful to others,
Bob Lane
