Leap Day 2012

Last night we made this yummy pasta. It’s just a layer of white sauce, then red sauce, then cheese, then pasta noodles, and then repeats. It turned out really good. I loved it =] Then we watched Pretty Little Liars… next week I believe we find out who “A” is! Then I wonder if there will be another season or not. Then I looked over the puzzle we are trying to finish until our Home Teachers came. They always teach really good lessons. This time it was about fasting. And I always fasted but I don’t think my heart was ever really in it. Or maybe I was fasting for things that didn’t need to be solved. Either way I’ve never had a fasting experience to share. It just made me realize I need to do better when I fast. Maybe also fast more for others than myself unless I have a very important matter I need to fast for. This coming fast I think I’ve decided to fast for my friend Becky and her family, especially her dad, because he has had cancer for awhile and I can tell it’s really straining. It’s something I can do without having to be there since she is all the way in Michigan. =]

Then I watched the Lying Game and got ready for bed. I love cuddling next to Spencer. He is just an amazing husband! The End =]

Since it is Leap Day, we decided to do something random and crazy but I’m not sure what yet. And we only have like 30 minutes together before he has meetings tonight. I was thinking how COOL would it be to have a kid born on the leap year because then they would have two birthday dates; February 29^th and March 1^st. =]

I slowly got myself up this morning. Once I’m up and going I’m fine but man is it hard to get out of bed. I went to go get my oil changed in the car. Luckily I got there before 8 other people so I was in and out in a reasonable time and it was a fairly good price =] And thankfully they didn’t say anything else was wrong with my car so that makes me feel good. I love my little Honda Civic, we’ve been through a lot together and I hope we have even more amazing memories before its time for you to go. There are a few more good years left in you, I can feel it. =]

Then I went home until it was time to go to work. Man is it windy out today but sometimes its fun. We are supposed to have a lot of crazy weather these next few days and I am kind of excited. It’s nice to have a storm every now and then.

Today is fairly decent at work. A lady that comes in occasionally brought me a cookie, its one of those really good soft sugar cookies with AMAZING frosting. It’s in a shape of a 3 leaf clover with white frosting and green and yellow sprinkles. Yummy!

Then I read “Standing in Holy Places” talk by: Thomas S. Monson for my institute class on Thursday. It was really good.

A few questions we had to answer:

1. What do you think President Monson means by “moral compass?” A person’s natural instinct to do what is right and avoid doing wrong. Anything which serves to guide a person’s decisions based on morals or virtues. Spencer added: Compass points North. Think of north as what is right. If the moral compass is pointing in directions other than North we are heading in the wrong direction as a society in our morals. OR its “north” is evolving (changing) rapidly, so what we think of as right is changing rapidly.

2. Why do you think it is important to know that God is “Unchangeable from all eternity to all eternity?” Its one thing we can count on and lean on in this always changing world.

3. How can you “put off the natural man?” Staying close to the Spirit/Gospel. It will help keep us on the right path. Giving up worldly things that keep us from getting closer to God.

4. Where are the “holy places” in which we can stand? Church, temple, our homes. Also how we live our lives as individuals. Standing in the presence of the Lord.

I was able to get all the meals taken care of for a lady in our ward that had twin girls a few days ago. Hopefully all goes well and everyone that was assigned remembers to bring the meal to them. That’s a weight off my shoulder now I just need to find time the catch up on laundry and clean the house up a little more. My oh my.

Just going to read my book and type up a few pages before the end of the work day. =]

Happy Leap Day

Emma Stone

Today is one of those days where I feel like I have SO much I did to do in the next couple days. In reality it’s not really that much. For example I ended up not getting up this morning in enough time to go do a load of white laundry. Which means I need to go to the laundry place probably tomorrow so it will get done in a reasonable amount of time. But I also have to clean that day because I will be semi busy on Thursday. Just need to write down a schedule and take deep breaths lol

Yesterday we got belly flops which are jelly beans that have mistakes (they are bunched together and other errors) from my mother in law, Karen. It was super exciting and they are so good except for the flavors you get that you don’t like. Lol

Then we ate amazing pork chops that Spencer made. Afterwards we went to Smith’s to buy groceries =] we did about 80 dollars worth again, not too bad! Then watched some TV shows while Spencer did some homework. Spencer went to bed early and I stayed up to read my book. I didn’t get to bed until about 11. I wanted to finish the book but that would require staying up even later so I’m glad I went to bed when I did.

I posted this on Facebook but Emma Stone was hilarious on The Oscars on Sunday. I learned she is only 23 and she is a natural blonde but red looks so natural on her. I can’t wait for future films that she will be in to come out.

Then today just didn’t get up in enough time to do laundry, my bad. Then get an oil change in the car tomorrow hopefully I don’t forget.

Tonight I don’t have much planned but to make dinner, and read my books. =] Maybe clean up here and there a little.

I did say a little while ago I don’t mind cleaning or doing dishes as much as I used to. It does help when I’m cold because it warms me up and music helps me enjoy it more too. =]

Oh and a little while ago Spencer and I discovered that our horn doesn’t work in our car anymore. It’s nothing big but when you need to use it, it’s weird not to have one. I’m not a big horn person except for if I want to honk at a friend. It just seems weird to not have it work. It feels like a piece of the car is missing lol

I’m going to get off and read my book now. =] Have a great Tuesday

Mini Heart

Friday night Spencer and I had dinner together. Then Channelle and I went out. We tried Gravity hill, and it didn’t work for us. I can’t find anyone who knows how to do it right. Apparently you put your car in neutral and you’re supposed to get pulled backwards. Then we went to a chocolate place by the hospital in the Avenues. It’s called The Chocolatires. Very yummy chocolate and I ate a banana split =]

Afterwards we tried to find the midget village and we finally did but it’s hidden. Supposedly it’s hidden and if you try to go back there a midget guard will come out. Anyways after that Channelle dropped me off. It was nice to get out and see all the random stuff in Utah. Then Spencer and I went to bed fairly soon because it was going to be a LONG Saturday. We got up early and met up with my mom, Jessica, and J. Then we drove to Orem to help Stephanie and Rick move to Tremonton. It was a very windy day but other than that it wasn’t too bad outside. And when we were up there we visited a little with Rick’s family. Then off to good old Salt Lake City. We got home about 5pm. We didn’t do a whole lot. Spencer did some much needed homework. Then we went to Best Buy to get two movies 1. The sister Act 1 & 2 2. August Rush. Then we went to dinner at Chili’s. We wanted to go to Olive Garden but it was a 45 minute wait. Darn it. It wasn’t too bad but I should have ordered something else then the sandwich I ordered.

Then Sunday was a pretty nice day. I hurried and got up and ready for church. In sacrament they talked about missionary work. Then in nursery we had 5 kids. We had one that cried at least 3-4 times in those 2 hours over silly things. But hey they are just little kids. But what I did witness was lots of love that these little kids have. 1. We heard a lot of sorry 2. We had hugs happen even though we didn’t tell them to hug 3. We had some go up and say are you okay or what’s wrong to those that were crying.

I forgot my camera or I would have taken a picture of the kids hugging each other. It brought tears to my eyes. I didn’t cry but I could of. They just remind you every day of how easy it is to forever and love others. It was really sweet. Other than that I taught the lesson on Noah and the ark. They each got to pick up an animal picture and make the noise and we taped two of each animal up on the chalk board next to the Ark. =]

Afterwards I went home and watched some movies on Netflix until Spencer got home. We watched another movie and did some more of our puzzle and had our pizza. Then I read a little bit of my book and watched some of the Oscars. Hugo won like 5 awards so i'm thinking Spencer and I need to rent it sometime once it comes out.

I slept okay until about 4am which is when Spencer’s alarm went off because he was going to get up at 4. But I don’t think he got up until about 5am. I slept until 6am and hurried and got ready for my long day at work. I was surprisingly awake by 6:30 and I have been ever since. I’m sure half way through the day I will get a little sleepy.

I did notice I am past due on an oil change for the car so hopefully I can do that and my laundry tomorrow before work. Then just figuring out what to write for a letter to a friend for her birthday. It’s going to take a lot of thinking. Then just FHE tonight and grocery shopping.

On a random note I have a scar on my knuckle… and I just realized it looks like a mini heart. It’s super cute! <3

A lot of people are out today at work but so far it’s a fairly normal day. I will probably just make a grocery list, read my book, type up some pages, and eat food. =]

The Food Nanny

It feels like I haven’t been on here for age’s lol

Last night I was able to see Spencer for a little bit before Jessica picked me up. Then we saw The Food Nanny! She was pretty good. I mean there was some little questions I would have loved to ask but maybe some other time.

I bought her cookbook and it seems she has a lot of recipes I probably would eat. So I’m really excited to try these out.

She talked about buy from price first (cheapest) and taste second.

• Don’t eat red meats back to back
• Fresh fish or meatless food
• Don’t eat pasta back to back
• Don’t graze, know what hungry feels like

She does themes for the week which I think is a brilliant idea! There are some themes she does that I don’t really love; like Mexican but there is a few I would do. Her main point was to have the family always together for dinner as much as possible. It keeps the family closer to one another. And it kept her focused on serving meals and making everyone happy.

Her themes:

Sunday- Family Traditions

Monday- Comfort Food

Tuesday- Italian Night

Wednesday- Fish & meatless (including breakfast food)

Thursday- Mexican Night

Friday- Pizza Night

Saturday- Grill Night

My themes so far:

Sunday- Pizza Night

Monday-

Tuesday-

Wednesday- I try to do Crockpot recipes

Thursday-

Friday-

Saturday- I usually have leftovers because are schedules are always crazy

Some thoughts I would like to do but not sure where I would put them is: Grill, comfort, Italian, chicken, fish, breakfast or meatless)

She always said to eat 2-3 veggies A DAY, because a lot of people aren’t eating veggies. In my opinion because they are gross, I only like maybe 3 veggies and I wouldn’t want to only eat those 3 ALL the time. She says frozen or canned or fresh is fine. And that you shouldn’t get the small carrots in the bag you need to get the long carrots! Darn it and that’s one thing I thought I was doing well was buying at least the small carrots. Oh well. She always said you don’t put tomatoes in the fridge. I had not idea, good to learn that. (For Spencer)

I am excited to try more foods though and step out of my comfort zone. She was a really nice lady.

We got out around 9pm so Jessica and I stayed at my moms in Tooele. I did some laundry there since I was already out there. I slept in my sister, Stephanie’s, old room. There were a lot of blankets but I was just freezing for some reason and I had to get up to go to the bathroom twice which was weird because I didn’t drink much at all or eat much at all last night. Eventually I did fall asleep and when I woke up at 5:30 I was HOT because the heater started to kick in. So I just didn’t sleep well.

Around 7am Jessica and I left to come back to Salt Lake, Jerimiah got to stay with Grammy. Lucky guy. When I got home I folded the laundry and ate a little muffin and crashed until about 10:30. I had those weird types of dreams where I felt I couldn’t wake myself up but someone was in my house. AH I don’t like those dreams but some how I sleep pretty well through them. Then I got up and hurried to get ready for work.

Today seems fairly normal at work. I get a few calls back to back which can be difficult sometimes but then I have gaps of no calls. But I have things I plan on doing to keep myself busy.

After work I’m going to have dinner with Spencer, maybe something simple and then Channelle and I are going to hang out and do a few different things together. =]

Tomorrow is going to busy though, were going to help move my sister Stephanie and her husband Rick to Tremonton from Orem.

It's a fairly nice spring day outside! =] Well off to focus on work for the rest of the day.

Can’t wait until 5pm when I get to see Spencer!!

Re-energize

Last night Spencer and I hurried up and made hamburger helper for dinner. After we ate we hurried up to the church. He didn’t have any meetings tonight so he did homework while I went to my Relief Society Activity. It was pretty fun. I had a few laughs with some of the women and we learned how to make two yummy dessert recipes and learned a little about each of us. Afterwards we went home and watched Pretty Little Liar which we will find out who A is in like 2 more episodes =] It’s intense but I’m ready to know who A is. Then we did our usually reading for the night.

We slept in this morning which was really nice. Apparently I talked to Spencer in my sleep a little bit. He has no idea what and neither do I. But I do know I woke up at 4:30 and had a hard time going back to sleep. I didn’t sleep super well so it doesn’t surprise me if I did talk in my sleep. I kept thinking of everything I needed to do before I left today after work.

I got up a little after Spencer and started to vacuum and sweep the floors. I also wiped down a few counters. If I had time I will do the dishes after I get off work while I am waiting for Jessica to pick me up. Spencer isn’t going to classes tonight so I will pick him up after work and take him home and I will hurry and pack just little things I need and clean up a bit more and then off to Tooele. Jessica and I are going to Tooele to listen to the Food Nanny with my mom. I’m pretty excited to learn new things. Then we are just going to spend the night out there and leave semi early in the morning to get back for our jobs here.

You know once you’re married, leaving your spouse is one of the hardest things to do. Maybe it isn’t for everyone but for me it’s really hard to say goodbye for a night. But it’s good in a relationship to get away on your one occasionally. It re-energizes you. I read somewhere that you make a lot of sacrifices for each other when you get married. And you don’t do as much of your normal stuff as you used to. Either to make your spouse happy or you don’t have time to anymore. So if you go away for a day or a couple days you can just be you for the time being and re-energize your body. I think that’s a brilliant thought, I never really thought about it before. But I do always miss him extremely. If he ever left me for a night or more I’d be super scared. I don’t think I could sleep in a house all by myself so who knows. I might just have to take meds to get me to fall asleep. Lol

Today at work it has been kind of mild. I plan to type up more pages up for someone and then read a book.

Other than that I’m just hoping I don’t forget anything for Tooele.

On a side note I HATE ANTS!!! I found two crawling on me last night and I went NUTS! It’s fine if there are 2 or 3 on the floor (not the carpet) but when you get on me personally you all better look out! I sprayed them all like crazy and just HAD to clean as much as I could this morning.

Last night I felt like I was missing something, not forgetting to do something but missing something. It’s a weird feeling but I feel it occasionally.

I also read that they say if you are usually getting cranky or slowing down around 3pm that’s when you should listen to an upbeat song to keep you going or get something you love like Starbucks Cider or cupcakes….

Crazy Dreams

Around 4:30 Channelle came by my work and brought me a Wendy’s frosty! =] She stayed and talked to me for awhile. Then after work I met up at Subway with Spencer. I had their soup, it was pretty good. Then we did sealing’s in the temple. It was a pretty good experience. After we got home Spencer worked on homework and I colored while listening to my iPod. It’s been awhile since I’ve just had both my headphones in and listened to my music.

Then Spencer and I both read before we went to bed. I had some crazy dreams.

1. I had this sleep over with 3 friends at my old house in Michigan. I don’t remember any of the friends there. But if you got the littlest cut from anything you were going to die in 24 hours. It didn’t matter what happened. One friend got a cut and we worried for her. We tried to keep calm and convince ourselves that it wasn’t real. But she ended up dying then I got a prick on my finger and I was so worried that I was going to die. I woke up before the 24 hours were over for me.

2. Me and Spencer were walking along the sidewalk on our way somewhere. This guy came up and was threatening us out of no where. He had a gun pulled at us and then all of a sudden Spencer pulled out a gun and shot him. He collapsed and died. We both ran and hid we were afraid Spencer would get in trouble. Then I had no idea where Spencer was hiding. I was walking home and was afraid that someone was going to find me. I was hiding by a fence and women from work were walking passed and luckily didn’t find me. Then I ended up at my sister, Jessica’s, house and she had his phone and keys and I didn’t know how to get a hold of him. I was worried for his safety. It was terrifying to have to hide out especially when you had no idea where your husband was. It was scary.

Like I said pretty crazy dreams. But I slept fairly well.

This morning I slept in a little bit then woke up to watch Wheel of Fortune and Rachel Ray =] Then got ready for the day and left early to just walk around Target for a little bit.

Now just watching a few shows on hulu and reading a book to pass the day. I’ve gotten a few more phone calls then normal. GLEE DID A KELLY CLARKSON SONG FINALLY!!! They did pretty good =]

Tonight Spencer will be at the church and I will clean the house a bit until Relief Society Activity tonight. We are making 2 desserts, I’m pretty excited =] It was a pretty sunny day outside and I just had a long sleeve t-shirt one.

BookShelves

Last night after work Spencer and I went to Target. We bought Birthday Cake Oreos, they are super yummy. Also we got a big bookshelf and a small bookshelf and an Automon or however you spell it. When we got home I made Salmon Patties for dinner and we went to building the shelves. It took a little work but we eventually got them put together. Then we made a HUGE mess of the living room while sorting and moving all the books. I will attach a few pictures. It now looks amazing. It’s a lot of stuff in a small room but it came together pretty nicely. My parents are going to hate it if we ever move lol

Here is the MESS:

That took a little while but eventually we got it all together and organized and sat down to watched Once upon a time and read scriptures and journal. =]

This morning I slept in a little bit after I packed Spencer a lunch. Then went off to Jessica’s to watch The Lying Game and smash and do a load of white laundry. Then off to work.

Work is a little boring today but I’m keeping myself busy.

Later tonight Spencer and I are going to the temple and then later I will probably clean up the house a little bit more. We’ve been trying to go to the temple for awhile but we’ve been busy or it was closed. I’m excited =] It means we will probably have subway for dinner, yummy.

I can’t wait to pay off my credit card! Amen to Tax returns, they sure bring you up in the world. =]

I’m sleepy…. Its time to each something for lunch. Peanut Butter crackers!!!!

THE MESS: (the two first pictures)

 

The CLEAN: (the last 3 pictures)

Tax return 2012

Here is another Monday. It’s even a holiday, sadly Spencer and I both don’t get it off but at least he got school off =]

Friday night I went to see “The Vow” with my good friend Channelle, it wasn’t a bad movie but I didn’t cry. It just wasn’t the really romantic movie I’ve been looking for. I hope “The Lucky One” will be the type I’m looking for. That comes out in a few months. Either way it was a pretty good movie and I had fun talking with Channelle and hanging out with her. We ran into Jazz traffic for awhile so I ended up staying in her car to talk until it all died down.

Then Saturday was a fun filled day with my wonderful husband. It was our 8 month Anniversary! We slept in a little and then ate breakfast while we watched old cartoons on YouTube like Pepper Ann & Recess. Then we got ready for the day and off we went to Desert Books, where we got a puzzle of Christ which is 1,000 pieces; it’s going to be a lot harder than I thought but it will be worth it. Then Spencer bought some DVDs he has been wanting from their. Then we went out to Target to get some T-shirts we need for family pictures we are taking in March. Spencer got a brown shirt & a gray shirt. I got a bright blue shirt and a green shirt. It’s always exciting getting new clothes.

Then we went to Arby’s to get some much needed food. It was all delicious. We ate it while we watched Sherlock Holmes. After the movie was over we went to Sandy. We drove on some new roads and saw some pretty places. We stopped at Wal-mart to get a kite for future use and a picture frame for the puzzle when it’s done. Then off to the South Towne center mall, where we got the harry potter clue game. Afterwards we went to Outback Steakhouse for dinner. It was a nice place. I ordered this fettuccine pasta but it ended up having spices & seasonings in it that burnt my throat. I asked for them to take it back and instead I bought a dessert; chocolate waffles with ice cream and hot fudge! It was very delicious and so was their bread that they brought out at the beginning.

Spencer ordered some steak that was cooked very nicely so I ate a few pieces of that.

Then we drove home to relax from our busy night. It was nice to get out of the house and spend some time together.

Before we ended the night I asked for a blessing, they always give me reminded comfort. They keep my sane. I will list a few pointers though of what I remember.

• In nursery I will learn the simplicity of the gospel, and be brought back to the basics.
• I should support the leaders and the children’s parents
• Know that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love me very much
• I will come closer to Christ through my daily prayers
• The things I have learned from my job will help me in my life and in future jobs
• Always be there and help my family
• God knows what I need when I need it, and I have difficult times for a reason

Then Sunday we went to church. In Nursery we only had 3 kids. It was a very relaxed day compared to last Sunday when we had all 8 and only 2 leaders. But we of course had our normal meltdowns and fights occasionally but all in all it was a great day. We had a balloon for each of them and I took some cute pictures of them enjoying the balloons. Then we came home and ate lunch then I slept from about 2:30-4:30pm. It took me awhile to fully wake up after that but I read my book and cuddled with Spencer while we watched some movies on Netflix. Then we ate dinner and eventually got ready for bed. I did decide to sign up for an institute class, I know its half way through the semester but its free and I’d like to do something besides work and clean the house. It is on Thursday nights on the teachings of the living prophets. It will be fun!

This morning we slept in a little bit and got up to read and do homework. We noticed we got our tax return so that’s very exciting!! =] That just lifts a lot of burdens off my shoulders money wise.

Now just at work enjoying the day as much as possible. Spencer has a surprise for me so I’m really excited also for the end of the work day. =] The house is fairly clean except for the puzzle mess on our carpet. The puzzle is too big to fit on any of our tables so it’s cluttering a few spaces on the ground but that might make us do it quicker. =]

I have a semi busy week coming up but that always keeps me on my toes and busy.

Hope all of you have a wonderful week, eventually I will post a list of nicknames Spencer and I came up with from candy names for those in a relationship. It was fun and interesting =]

We also blogged on our blog, check it out: sharingourlove8611.blogspot.com

Locked in

This morning I got to sleep in until about 8am, it was wonderful. Then I got up and ready for the day. Last night I had put on a mask for my face to just relax. And it was nice and smelled like pomegranates. When I woke up this morning my face was red and slightly puffy. I’m thinking I had an allergic reaction but it took awhile to develop so I’m not sure. My face just gets hotter than the rest of me faster. I just covered my face up with some cover up make up and it looks a little better. But slightly feels uncomfortable.

I went to go babysit this morning for two cute little boys, there mom is good friends with my sister. So I went over there and played with them and watched Cars 1 and Cars 2. It was nice to watch little kids.

Now here comes the interesting story. When I got there I put my keys in my purse without thinking. And then I started thinking about how I didn’t really need my purse or anything in there so I left it in the car. I went in watched the boys and when I left I put my hands in my pocket and there were no keys. Then I recalled slipping them into my purse without thinking. Sigh

Thankfully Jessica’s work is like 2 blocks away but sadly she doesn’t have a spare key anymore. So I borrowed her car and drove from 2100 S to North Temple to get the key from Spencer. Then I drove back to 2100 S to drop off Jessica’s car and get my car. Then I drove to 900 S to get to work. Thankfully I made it before 12pm.

In my head I’m thinking about why did that happen? I never put my keys in my purse unless I am going to work which I wasn’t. I always put them in my pocket. It kind of makes me wonder if it was supposed to happen for a reason. Maybe to be grateful I live close to my sister. I’m not sure but it was frustrating but not because I knew I could get what I needed in a reasonable time.

Anyways so now I’m at work. Just going to watch some shows and read my book. We have a few things we need to type up but not too much.  

Then tonight Spencer and I are having Potato Soup in bread bowls, yum! Then later going to see The Vow with Channelle around 7pm. I have been waiting forever to see this movie so I’m super excited!!! Spencer might hang out with a friend tonight too or just play video games at home, he likes to do that. =]

Then tomorrow we are going to outback steak house for lunch or dinner then who knows what else. Maybe we will go see a movie or go out somewhere depending on the weather. I am super stoked for the weekend. It’s going to be a happy and exciting one, I can just feel it! =]

Everyone have a wonderful Friday!

AnTsY

It’s Thursday! Which means we are super close to it being Friday =]

Last night Spencer and I watched some TV shows and read our books. We ate Chipped Beef for dinner, yummy and simple. I feel like we go to bed later and later but not even on purpose. Next thing you no 6 hours later the alarm goes off. Ugh!

But we got up and I made his lunch and sent him off to school/work. Then I went back to sleep for a little while. My mouth feels better this morning =]

I got ready and put my hair up a new way, nothing too different and then got everything ready for work. It seems fairly slow today, which means boring. I can feel myself being antsy again.

After work I’m going to the laundry mat this time to do our colored laundry. It shouldn’t take me too long but it will get done faster. Then I will go home and eat some food and clean the whole house as much as I can. It’s stayed fairly clean since last week. The one room that gets messy is the kitchen and our made always has to be remade. I’m excited to just put on some music and get crazy with cleaning. I slowly enjoy it once I get into it.

Then maybe I will watch a show and wait for Spencer to get home or I will pick him up today. We will see what happens.

I’m being impatient about things again so I just keep trying to remind myself to just focus on everything else.

The Oscars are coming up soon!! I’m pretty excited =]

My next paycheck is going to be spent in like 2 seconds. But besides gas, tithing, and groceries I don’t plan on spending ANY money for anything. But first I have some checks I need to send off for this paycheck. Then we have to update our insurance and everything.

My tummy hurts a little bit today but nothing serious. I’m just already excited for 5pm so I can get things done.

Have a fabulous day!

Numb for 3-4 hours

My wonderful husband surprised me with Pizza Hut for dinner! It was super delicious =]

We watched the rest of National Treasure and watched Last man standing. (I think that’s it) Then I danced on our PS3 dance game a little bit.

Then we watched the Charlie Brown Valentines Day show. =] Aw it’s just so cute!

I woke up this morning and slowly got ready to go to the dentist… the last cavities to fill. I was dreading it as always. This time I watched TV with the head phones… Boy meets world episode! They numbed me once and later they came back and said you feel numb and I said no. Just my tongue tingles, they thought that was strange. But last time they needled me three times! And I was waiting for like 15 minutes; I think this time I only waited like 3 minutes so of course it wasn’t numb yet. But they numbed me again and my poor lip was just dead with how much I was given. Anyways so at 12:50 it is not finally all un-numb. =]

We got it done fairly fast, and it was snowing outside, not too much though so that wasn’t bad. Then got ready for work and watched an episode of Survivors (it’s a UK show I think) it’s not bad.

Now I’m at work and it seems like a kind of slow day. When I get home tonight I will clean a little bit and hang out with Spencer because tonight he doesn’t have to do much at the church again. =]

I have a few shows to watch today but other than that I’ve been looking at all the new books coming out that look SO good! If I had the time and money I’d buy them all and read them all.

I’m slowly having less to say now, my days aren’t super exciting lol But they are wonderful =]

Valentines Day!

Happy Valentines Day aka Single Awareness Day which ever one you are celebrating today.

Yesterday we made Chicken Enchiladas for dinner, this turned out a lot better than last time except I should have cooked the onions a little before putting then because I could feel each crunch. YUCK!

Then we watched Once upon a time, the voice, and then smash. Spencer did some homework and later I popped some popcorn for us.

Then like the old couple we are, we lie in bed and read our books before bed.

I slept in a little bit this morning and then got ready to go to Jessica’s to do our white load of laundry. While I was doing laundry I watched The Lying Game and Switched at birth just because I’m all done with Ghost Whisperer now.

I have my dentist appointment tomorrow for my bottom cavities, and one of my top teeth he did last time is still hurting so I will talk to him about that. I am not as nervous as last time but the shots hurt more on the bottom… AND if I haven’t already said this, I’ve been flossing every day since my first appointment =]

Also since my 21^st birthday is coming up it means I have to get a new license AGAIN! I just can’t forget or I’ll be driving with an expired license. Maybe I will go on a Wednesday or something. Also I still haven’t talked to LDSBC to apply for graduation and get my certificate. I can do it whenever I just haven’t gotten around to it.

For Valentines Day Spencer said he is cooking dinner… I’m not sure what it is yet =] I’m super excited though!

Also last Valentine’s Day we got a treat at work but no one has even said anything about it being Valentine’s Day and there aren’t even decorations…. It’s a little sad. =[

We have all Charlie Brown holiday movies EXCEPT The Valentine’s Day one, there is one right? Maybe we can watch it on YouTube or something.

ALSO sadly another accident yesterday, a 17 year old boy was killed by Trax. A lot of people keep thinking what should we change about Trax so this doesn’t happen again… NOTHING, its stupid people’s fault. You don’t walk across the Trax line if your not supposed to, its common knowledge. Stop changing the Trax, it’s not your fault people aren’t paying attention. I’m sorry for his family though.

Two songs I have stuck in my head that I LOVE are Valerie and Songbird, Santana from Glee sings them, I like her version of the songs better. They are beautiful.

On a side note I’ve been keeping up with writing in my personal journal as well. I think I’ve been doing pretty well at keeping things organized in my life. Have a great day!! =]

BTW my lovely Husband proposed to me a year ago from today! Aw sweet memories

RIP Whitney Houston

Saturday Spencer and I slept in a little while. Then slowly got ready for the day. Around 1pm we went to Trio to eat lunch with his Aunt Glady Sue and Cousin Melanie. The Spaghetti was delicious as always! And I ate lots and was stuffed. Then back home where Spencer did some homework while I did a few things. Then we stopped at Walgreens to get a few items. Around 6pm we went to a church activity. It was a mix between celebrating Abraham Lincoln and chili cook off. It was pretty nice. Next we left to go see the movie “One for the money” at gateway. It was nice to go to an actual theater. It was not too bad of a movie. We got home and went pretty much straight to bed.

Sunday morning Spencer left for meetings and I got ready for church. It was raining outside but I made it to church fairly dry. During sacrament meeting I sat next to cute little Evia. Then we went to nursery and we had all 8 kids but just 2 leaders today. At first it went fairly well, not too many fights or crying. Later we had messy cupcakes for Valentines Day and then a lot of crying and attitudes. They sure keep you busy especially when you’re left alone with all 8 off and on. Then I went home to upload the pictures I took during nursery and a few other things. We took a small nap and ate some food. Then later I watched The Grammys. It wasn’t too bad, if there were songs on or people that I didn’t care for then I just muted it until they were done. =] But Adele did really amazing on all the awards she got, and she is blonde! I had a rough night but eventually went to sleep.

Spencer stayed home this morning with me and we slept in and exchanged our Valentines Day gifts today instead of tomorrow. It was a really nice morning =] He is a fantastic husband. Then left for work wearing the beautiful heart necklace he bought me, he always got me a stuffed monkey =]

Today I plan to read my book and maybe read next weeks Sunday School lesson, maybe do a family home evening night with the lesson. The tonight is clean the bedroom and do some dishes. The dinner is going to be chicken enchiladas hopefully. Then we will just watching a movie or a show for the rest of the night.

RIP Whitney Houston… if you haven’t seen it yet, I uploaded a video of me when I was 3 on Facebook of me singing “I will always love you”. It’s cute, or so I think!

Happy Birthday Spencer!!

Finally got the last boxes from Charlotte of the books! You should see our coffee table it’s COVERED in books. =] I’m so excited to read all of them!!

Yesterday I got off work and off to cleaning I went. I started in the living room picking up things that didn’t belong in there and putting them where they belonged. Then organizing then cleaned up the bedroom. Then vacuumed those rooms and then off to sweeping the bathroom and kitchen floors. Then cleaning the toilet and sink and counter tops in the kitchen. Finally mopping more like swiffered the whole floor.

After that I watched the glee concert movie. It was pretty good. Then off to pick up Spencer from his night classes. The only thing I didn’t do was clean the microwave and do the 6 dishes I have in my sink. =] Which I will do today or tomorrow.

I slept really well last night =] I don’t recall any dreams I had. Oh and we had BLT’s for dinner… more like BMB for me. Bread, mayo, and bacon. =]

We watched some TV and then got ready for bed and just lay in bed reading our books. =]

I woke up with Spencer, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HIM!!!! After I sent him off to school I went back to bed and over slept. I got everything ready for going to J’s right after work.

The plan is to do our colored laundry and J and I will make brownies for Spencer as his cake. Then I have some presents for him… only I don’t have anything to wrap them with yet. We are watching J so Jessica can go to Temple night with her ward.

Then tomorrow Spencer and I are going to do something to celebrate his birthday. I’m not sure what though… and making a scrapbook Page for my Grandma Nielsen’s birthday that’s coming up. I have a few ideas floating around.

Off to work I go, this day will fly by! =]

Terrifying dream

After my long work day yesterday Spencer and I went to McDonalds to see all the family. Only person missing was Mallorie, she was missed. We all had a great time though. =] Cache and Jerimiah were being crazy and silly while playing in the McDonalds play area. It was nice to be together for a little bit.

When Spencer and I got home we watched some TV and then he left to do something’s at the church. Then I did the dishes. I plan on doing some extra cleaning today hopefully. We received 5 out of 7 boxes from Charlotte of the books we bought. Yay so very exciting!! Then I watched a ghost whisperer episode. And read a little bit of one of the books I got. Spencer went to bed a little earlier because he wasn’t feeling very well.

Eventually we both fell asleep and then I woke up around 4am from a terrifying dream. The one dreams that I don’t like having are ones of loved ones dying. I had a dream that Stephanie, my sister, was kidnapped and then my mom and I were waiting on these bleachers for a cop to come tell us any news. When we came up he said they found her body, she had been shot and hurt. I cried instantly because I just had a feeling something bad had happened. And I kept crying, and these girls were laughing at me because I was upset over my sister’s death. There was more that I can’t remember. But I woke up so upset like it really had happened. I didn’t know how I was going to handle it. Eventually I calmed myself down.

This morning when I got up and made Spencer’s lunch I texted Stephanie just to make sure everything was okay. She texted within 30 seconds saying she was. So we are all good, I just have to make sure my dreams still haven’t come true. So I went back to bed, I am going to do laundry tomorrow morning since I will be there that night watching J so if I don’t finish it I can do the rest that night and leave it there.

I woke up and watched the second to last Ghost Whisperer episode. It is starting to take a WEIRD turn and I have a feeling I won’t like the ending but maybe it will turn around. I will probably watch it at work because I’m just so close!

It started raining a little bit this morning and dropped off a few things to Spencer that he forgot to pack. He has a long day today, so I’ll just be at home cleaning until he gets home. But it means we are super close to Friday! It’s really quite in the office right now since everyone is at lunch.

Now that 21 days closer to Christ is over I need to decide what else to do to keep spiritual besides the normal scripture reading.

Have a wonderful day!  

Spencer's birthday is tomorrow!!!!!! =]

Remember

Had trouble re-falling asleep in the middle of the night and kept dreaming about being Melinda in Ghost Whisperer, nothing scary though. Awoke at 6:15 to get ready for the day and work a full shift today. I’m in pretty good spirits just a little sleepy. It’s going to be a long day but nice and worth it.

I finished the book 21 days closer to Christ!! I would love to read it again but it should be something I do twice or maybe 3 times a year to remind myself.

Today I’m going to watch some TV shows and type up journals and color in my princess coloring book! =]

After today I’m meeting up with my mom, Jessica, Jerimiah, Stephanie, Rick, Cache, and Jon at McDonalds, it’s going to be way fun! Spencer will be there too for a little bit before meetings at the church.

It feels like a Friday sadly, but were at Wednesday and that’s at least half way through the week =]

I’m exciting for all the plans Spencer and I have going this year. For sure in June around our Anniversary I think we are going to go to a hotel somewhere in Utah that is close to a park with rocks to climb and beautiful things to see. That’s the plan anyways. Then hopefully sometime in August or September Stephanie, Rick, Spencer, and I want to drive to Iowa to let the husbands meet our parents side of the family. That would be super fun so I hope we can work all those plans out.

Other than that I feel I’ve been doing fairly well with my prayers at night by myself, but need to do morning prayers better and personal scripture study. While I’ve been reading the book it’s had me read a chapter or so in every day but now that I’m done I should start my own reading.

I feel more joy and I’ve been pretty patient on things in the past I haven’t been so patient with. I’m pretty proud of myself.

Other then that the goal is to clean the kitchen today, hopefully I can make time for that and vacuum because that ended up not happening yesterday BUT I made Tuna casserole for the first time and it tasted really good!

Just been coloring Princess pictures at work and listening to my music. =]

21 Days Closer to Christ

Day 21- What mean these stones?

Invitation: Remember

Scriptures: Joshua 3, 4

* Either figuratively or literally, gather twelve stones. Assign each stone to represent a blessing that you have recognized in your journey toward Christ. Share these blessings with your family. Testify how you are coming to know the Healer, the Master, the Son of God, even Jesus Christ. What are the stories you can tell about how He has strengthened, enlightened, comforted, or otherwise blessed you?

- My stones:

1. Prayer is a good communication with God to discuss your concerns and your thankfulness

2. Scriptures are a way to learn more about the Gospel and our history and future

3. Love is what I feel when I think of my Heavenly Father and Christ. It’s a great feeling

4. Patience is what I’ve slowly learned. It’s okay to wait for things for later in life

5. Grace is what we are given when we’ve done all that we can

6. Guidance to know where to go in life, Christ helps us with this

7. Hope for the wonderful things to come

8. Listen to the Holy Ghost to guide us and warn us in life. Also to listen to our spouse and children and our hearts

9. Follow the Lord’s footprints, he will direct us to where we need to go if we follow Him

10. Stand in holy places, stand up for what we believe in

11. Focus on Christ and the Gospel in our lives

12. Be still and listen. Our lives are so very crazy and its good to set a place and time to just be by yourself and ponder and be quiet

- I would like to bare my testimony to my blog readers. This experience I’ve had through out this book has been wonderful. I’ve felt peace, and love as I read the scripture references and the stories Emily shared with each lesson. It made me actually focus on the Gospel and Christ and understand that he is there for me and always will be as I go through out my life. There will be good times and there will be bad. But I know that Jesus Christ suffered for our sins and that he can help us in our time of need. That Joseph Smith is a prophet of God and Thomas Monson is our prophet today. That if we follow the commandments and stick close to the Gospel that we will grow spiritually every day. I know the Book of Mormon to be the word of God and that families can be together forever. I say these things in the name of Jesus Chris, Amen.

The Celebration

“Hang on the walls of your mind the memory of your successes. Take counsel of your strength, not your weakness. Think of the good jobs you have done. Think of the times when you rose above your average level of performance and carried out an idea or a dream for which you had deeply longed. Hang these pictures on the walls of your mind and look at them as you travel the roadway of life.”        -Attributed to Whistler By: Sterling W. Sill, “Great Experiences,” Ensign, June 1971, 43.

Abide

Yesterday we spent about $300 on Costco groceries but in the long run it’s totally worth it. =] We got a lot of good things that we’ve needed especially for Spencer’s lunches.

Then ate dinner there, it’s quite a cheap way to eat, and yummy.

Next stop was Wal-mart and since we bought so much at Costco we didn’t need much, so that was only an $80 trip. =]

We got home and unloaded and put away EVERYTHING! We had so much that we had to put some extra stuff in the backroom where we put ALL of our extra stuff. Then I did the dishes and cleaned up a little bit. Then I planned the meals for the next two weeks. It’s looking very nice. Spencer did some homework and I watched my usual, Ghost Whisper. I’m close to finishing Season 5 now. =]

Then read scriptures and got ready for bed. I was tired but also not really but we talked a bit and eventually I talked so much I said okay I’m done. And that time I meant it. Usually I think of something else and then start talking again. But this time I stopped and slept pretty well.

This morning I got up with Spencer and made me a YUMMY lunch if I do say so myself. And then I stayed up and got ready to do the whites in the laundry at Jessica’s and watched Ghost Whisper while I waited.

Now I’m at work and it feels like it will be a pretty good day. My throat is hurting on and off but I’m not too concerned.

 OH so I got new bras from Victoria Secret, they arrived yesterday. The problem is that I thought they were padded but they aren’t really. They feel very nice and comfortable but weird because I’m so used to padding. BUT I am wearing one to see how it goes today. It just feels so different. I’m not sure what I’m going to do really. I can send them back with no cost to myself but I’m not sure what the was I need are called. Hmmm

After work I’m taking Spencer to the dentist, he is thinking of getting an invisialine for his teeth. Other than that not much planned for this evening. Just vacuuming the living room and re organizing everything and making tuna casserole for dinner, haven’t had that in awhile.

On a side note I hate when I dont take a shower one day but I do wash my face good that an hour later its super oily. It's really annoying. But I didn't want to have to redo my hair because it looks nice today. And sometiems lately the red scars on my face will be super bright red. Just a little frustrated with my face but oh well.

21 days closer to Christ

Day 20- Art thou only a stranger?

Invitation: Abide

Scriptures: Luke 24: 13-32

*Learn to use the scriptures to receive personal revelation from the Lord. Take some time today to find a scripture that speaks to you. Let His Spirit abide in your heart by reflecting on that scripture throughout the day.

- There is one scripture that has always spoken to me but recently I feel I now understand it. It’s one of my favorites; John 14:27 “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” I kind of think of it as He wants us to be at peace and to not worry or stress about our problems. To me, it seems like when he said goodbye to us when we came down to earth he was giving us peace and didn’t want us to be afraid of what soon would be around us. To look at the good and the peace that is still in the world.

On Saturday Spencer and I slept in and later he got his homework done.

Around 11am my parents came over and we took them out to Red Robin for their Anniversary. It was nice to sit down and talk about the random things going on.

My citation ended up being go to court or pay $90; I paid the 90 because I am terrified of having to go to court. I think that was SUPER expensive for just a stop sign but whatever.

After my parents left Spencer and I relaxed around the house and spent some quality time together for once. We usually have hectic weekends. He walked down to the church and then to smiths to get me beautiful flowers and ice cream! Later we were going to go to the temple but realized that it was closed. Instead Spencer took me to the parking lot where we had our first kiss =] my old apartment which is close by. Then we rented movies from Blockbuster and ordered Pizza Hut pizza! Yummy!

Then came along Sunday, it was fast Sunday. I’ve been trying to do better at fasting for the whole time but I do drink water because this year I’ve been feeling super sick every time I fast. But if I drink water it’s not as bad. We only had 6 kids in nursery and it was fairly quite. I taught a lesson on Sharing and it was kind of scary to teach them. But it went pretty well, and they colored and we blew bubbles. I really don’t like blowing bubbles because it’s super messy.

We ended up going home afterwards and watched The Help, which was pretty good. Then broke our fast around 3pm. We took a little nap around 4pm but ended up sleeping longer then we meant to… 6:30pm. It was much needed though.

Later we watched some TV and stayed up a little later since we weren’t as tired because of our nap. I personally didn’t fall asleep until about 1 or 1:30am. Then this morning I got up late because I just didn’t want to get out of bed…. The usual. Then off to get ready and fill up the car with gas and drop off the movies.

Now at work I started off with messing everything up. Two people told me it was the copier that wasn’t working but I kept hearing the printer. They both kind of do the same thing and I was just messed up and I called a Will instead of a Wes to come help fix them. Man it was a lot of mix up on my part. I feel super bad. I really need to focus and listen better for the rest of the day.

I just finished our dinner food plans for the next 2 weeks then tonight Spencer and I are going to Costco and Wal-mart to restock on our food supplies. It will be a fairly busy night but much needed.

21 days closer to Christ

Day 19- Seek for more

Invitation: Seek

Scriptures: John 20:1-18

Christ is always there. In the darkest hours of the night and the longest hours of the day, He is there. He is accessible and available at a moment’s notice.

* Examine your life. What is your greatest need? Sometime today find a way to seek the Lord. Find in Christ the answers you long for. Dare to reach a new level of understanding.

- My greatest need is probably knowing what pathway I should take. I’m not quite sure. Right now I seem to be doing well just want to focus my life more on Christ and the church.

Understand Grace

Yesterday I was at home by myself waiting for Spencer to get home from classes.

I cleaned out our car a little bit and I did the dishes, made myself a few snacks and cleaned the floors. In between all of that I watched Ghost Whispers I’m almost done with the 4^th season. I watch about 3-6 episodes a day. I just want to know what happens in all the episodes and get it done with. When he got home he ate some dinner and played Roller Coast Tycoon. We had a pretty good night though we were exciting for it to be Friday… today! While we were lying in bed I did dread my dentist appointment for today. I don’t like being numb or hearing the drilling sounds or having to leave my mouth open for a long time.

I got up and ready for the dentist appointment and off I went. They got me numb and waited a little bit for there computers to start working. Then off they went. It took about 30-40 minutes to do the top 3. Not too bad but my jaw hurt a little and the nurse lady wasn’t good at giving me the suction. She didn’t even put it in my mouth all the way. Ugh! So I swallowed a lot of water… yuck! On the 15^th I will get the bottom 2 done. Those are the ones that have started to hurt a little so I will just be glad when it’s all over.

I got home around 9am and it took about 2 hours until my mouth wasn’t numb anymore. But while I waited I watched Ghost Whisper of course!! And let some clothes that didn’t dry well yesterday lay in front of the heater. Then off to work I went.

Can’t wait for Spencer and I receive all the packages we ordered =] hopefully we get at least one or two today. I LOVE getting gifts in the mail.

Today I am a little tired since I didn’t get to sleep in for a little bit longer. So I just hope the work day goes by fast and I don’t fall asleep. =]

I can’t wait to go home and relax a little bit with Spencer. He does have some homework to do though so tomorrow is exciting. We are going to the temple in the morning to do a session and then meet up with my parents to take them out to Red Robin for their Anniversary. Then Spencer has homework and I have to prepare a nursery lesson on sharing. It should be a lot of fun.

It is such a beautiful day outside this afternoon. It feels like spring. I sure love that feeling, while I was driving to work I had my sleeves rolled up and one window half down. It was really nice and peaceful I felt.

21 days closer to Christ

Day 18- After all

Invitation: Understand grace

Scriptures: Ether 12

*Remember, grace comes after all you can do. Take time today to analyze a trying situation in your life. After you have done all that you can do, place it at the feet of the Lord. Keep a written record of the greater things and the unspeakable gifts that will come as He leads you to the promise.

Give all

Last night Spencer went to the church for meetings and I cleaned some of the kitchen. I stopped by to give him dinner and left to go to Smiths to get some cards. And yay for me I got pulled over by a cop on a motorcycle. I feel it’s weird to get pulled over by a motorcycle. 1. it’s smaller than your own car 2. It was in a weird area to where it was hard to pull over 3. He kind of came out of no where and I thought he was going somewhere because there was one ahead that had his lights on too. I didn’t think I did anything wrong so it took me by surprise so I was confused and didn’t really understand right away that I was the one that had to pull over. Quite frankly it was embarrassing especially when it’s been a LONG time since I’ve gotten pulled over. Also when you’re not even sure what you did wrong. At first he says I need you to pull over and I said sorry I didn’t realize a motorcycle is different then a car and he said but the lights mean the same thing. NO DUH! But where you were pulling me over was weird and there was no noise to the lights and I had seen lights before I even started driving so I didn’t think they were for me. Jeez

Anyways he said it was just a warning because I didn’t fully stop at a stop sign. I swore I stopped but I can’t really remember anymore. But he asked me how long do you stop at a stop sign… 3 seconds duh. (I never said duh to his face btw) Anyways so he gave me a warning but it says I need to appear in 14 days which means court I think. That’s confusing because I’ve gotten a warning before a long time ago and I didn’t get anything for it. I would much rather pay a small fine then go to court because it sounds terrifying. It sounds like I did this HORRIBLE crime. So I am going to have to figure that all out. Once I was done instead of going Smiths I drove and parked outside my house. To be honest, I cried for like 10 minutes because I’ve been a good driver and I never wanted to get pulled over again. It was scary, cops have that effect on you and I think some of them like that.

I pulled myself together and drove back to Smiths, a different way this time. And I got the cards and gifts I needed to. And was able to keep myself together. When I got home I just watched like 3 episodes of Ghost Whisper. That show always distracts me and I played a little bit of Roller Coaster Tycoon. Then Spencer came home and we watched some American Pickers.

I slept okay last night, but I did wake up at 430 and it took me FOREVER to fall back asleep. Then this morning I got ready to go do a color load of laundry at Jessica’s house, then watched 3 more Ghost Whisper episodes. MAN did I cry when Jim died. I never really saw that episode. It’s even sadder when you have a husband because you never want to see something like that happen to someone you love.

Now at work I folded some more papers and just typing up letters and hoping the day goes by fast. Today is Thursday which means Spencer will be at school so I won’t be able to see him for awhile. =[ It’s harder when I miss him, and today is one of those days but its bathroom cleaning today so I will throw myself into cleaning.

Also buying about 100 books from Charlotte who is selling them for a dollar each! Man our house is going to be packed with books. That will be really exciting to receive. Thanks!

I don’t want Ghost Whisper to end BUT I also want to be done with it and watch something else. Oh can’t this day go by any faster. Thank heavens it’s Friday tomorrow, this week sure went by fast!

21 days closer to Christ

Day 17- What lack I yet?

Invitation: Give all

Scriptures: Mark 10:17-22, Mark 12:41-44

* Think of someone you know who has given all in service to the Lord. What lesson can you learn from that person? How can you be more like him or her? Commit today to give all you have in your service to the Lord. Choose one area where you feel you could give more. What changes will this require in your daily routines?

- I know a few people that have given there all, but specifically I think my husband. That dedication everyday is very important. One thing I struggle with is Visiting Teaching sometimes. 2/3 are great members and they both seem to be doing very well and I don’t feel I can teach them much but I could be there friend. Sometimes age difference gets in the way of my thinking because they are older than me why would they care to be my friend. I should go out of my way to talk with them not give them a lesson. Or just drop off a gift.

Help thou mine unbelief

Last night we had our home teachers come over. They were very nice guys and really easy to get along with. One brought up the lesson and talked about how as newly married couples we have difficulties and trials. He was saying how sometimes he looks at couples and thinks “they seem like a perfect couple and nothing is wrong” because he is having difficulties in his relationship. It’s kind of funny because I think most couples think that. I personally know that when Spencer and I have a disagreement it seems like everyone around us has no problems. But it’s normal to have problems it is what brings you both closer together. I think by our answers to his questions it taught him that we learn from our mistakes with our spouse. We grow and develop, so it went pretty well.

We watched Pretty little liars and the lying game =] And Spencer did some homework while I watched some Ghost Whisper episodes! I am now on season 4!

I think Jennifer Love Hewitt is a pretty good actress.

She sure knows how to cry, the show makes me emotional too.

Then had a good night sleep last night. Had some interesting dreams about friends from high school and eating steak. Maybe my body is telling me something lol

This morning I got ready for the day and know I need to do dishes badly tonight. It’s kitchen day today so it will get done! Tonight I believe I’m going to make spaghetti for dinner, we haven’t had it in awhile and we always have ingredients for it.

I came to work to find out there was a pile of papers that was left for me to fold. I don’t mind doing it but after awhile I get a knot in my shoulder and its hard to not take a ton of breaks. Just wish I wasn’t the only one that had to do it.

I’ve also decide that I think I’m going to become a Rep for Moxie Scents, if they will have me. =] If you don’t know what Moxie Scents is, it’s my cousins company. Her and her husband will be having a baby this summer and will need help. They sell lip dip, body soap, fizz bombs, etc.

Other than that I’m just back to typing up those pages I need to and eating carrots! =]

Well time for me to get back to work.

21 Days Closer to Christ

Day 16- Help thou mine unbelief

Invitation: Develop faith

Scriptures: Mark 9:17-27

* Take time to identify and write down an area in which you feel you are not enough. This could include challenges that are physical, temporal, spiritual, or emotional. Take it to the Lord. Plead your case in prayer. Don’t be afraid to acknowledge your weakness and ask for greater faith. Then be still and listen to the promptings that will come.

- At times I guess I don’t think I’m enough as a wife. But lately I’ve been working on that. Also patience, and gaining faith.
