the text pager-- a great invention

This week has been pretty busy, and D and I really haven't talked much. We were happy to visit the temple together last night (and by together, I mean we met in the chapel beforehand and talked to each other via cell phones on the way home). When we got home we still had a lot to say. Actually, D had A LOT of stories to share, and I told him that Roger pooped 3 times. We call these gossipy nights 'sleepover nights' because we feel like we are 13-year-old girls who are so excited to be together they don't want to go to sleep. Inevitably, we both pay for these late nights the day after. Unfortunately D is on call tonight and will be getting even less sleep tonight!

I soooo love the fact that my husband is chatty. I feel like I know the people he works with and the things that are going on at the hospital. I was reflecting about this today and text-paged D to tell him thank you for the chatties. While i zipped to the computer and drafted a quick message, I also realized text-pagers are cool! I love being able to send a message to my husband and know that he'll get it even if he is in the middle of something else. I am so glad to be living in the information age. It would have totally stunk to be a pioneer who had to walk a mile out in the fields to tell her husband that the baby just took his first steps.

That is all I have to say tonight. I am now going to watch the news. D told me he worked on some stabbing victims today-- I am sure that story will pop up.
