heartbroken....

i said that better updates were coming...
well, this isn't one of them.
i am truly heartbroken.

the last time it rained {a week or so ago...}
i forgot to close our bedroom window.
i was gone all day, and it rained all day.

i came home to find that our bedroom floor was soaked,
and everything that was sitting on my dresser was underneath inches of water.
my 300 handmade note cards from physiology were drenched,
and my scriptures were about 3 times the normal size.
"please, no."
i picked them up and water came pouring out of them.

jord said i could try and salvage them,
so we spent the next few days prying each page apart from the other.
it was kind of working... except for every third or fourth page ripped.
i sat there crying, as each new page i turned, i saw a marking that i couldn't read anymore.
or a highlighted passage that had seeped through the next 5 pages.

my sweet grammie gave me these scriptures when i got baptized.
15 years of markings from seminary, efy's, hill cumorah pageant's, my growing testimony, institute
and i was foolish enough to leave my bedroom window open on a rainy day.

that stupid rain could have ruined anything else.....
but not my scriptures.



i'm not done trying to salvage....
but i'll say it a thousand times. i am unbelievably heart broken.
