My Loving Grandpa..

I truly will miss this sweet man! Words cannot even express how grateful I am for the life and legacy he left behind him.  I can't help but think what a wonderful reunion between my Grandma and him.  Together Forever with their children that were only with them a short time.  I'm a little jealous that he is able to see her again! How I am going to miss both of them, but I know I will see them again.  I am so grateful for the knowledge and testimony I have of the gospel, to know that this isn't the end.. it's more of a beginning.   I am so grateful for my loving Heavenly Father and his son who marked the way for us to return home again, and to be together forever with our families.  Love you Grandpa!

Testing!

This is just a test for work! :)

Fall

I decided I should probably blog instead of changing my background and calling it good!

I absolutely LOVE this time of year!! Fall is so beautiful with all the leaves changing and the smell of… well, yumminess! I can’t wait to get all the Halloween décor out. Maddy and I have already picked our outfits for Halloween. We are going to Match! Do you want to take a little guess?

Okay, So I am not a librarian, and I am quite sure I won’t be able to pull the outfit off like she does… but we are going to try. More to come on that! I think I may have even talked Sam into being the Joker, and Ella to be either Batman or Robin… Haven’t decided on that one yet!

Maddy has started preschool again, and enjoying every minute of it! I think she will be so ready next year to go to school.. even though Mom won’t be. She has been quite the trooper while I have been going to school. Which by the way I am half way done!! I am really excited to get my life somewhat back to normal! I can’t wait to come home and spend some time with her, instead of being so exhausted every night. When I said in my last post about being a bear.. seriously, I want to do that right now! Just hibernate for the winter. I am glad my family has been so supportive of me in my decision to go back. It truly isn’t THAT long, but it has been difficult working full time, and being a full time mom/wife..

Life is going pretty good, I can’t complain too much. Hopefully more to come soon when I have more time!

The No Good Very Bad Day..

So here is your laugh for the day {Go ahead it is okay to laugh, because I am laughing about it now!}

So last night I am at costco, getting some stuff for Dinner {trying to hurry because a co-worker is coming over for dinner} I am doing good have an hour to go till he gets there! Anyway, I turn from putting the groceries in the car, and pull the basket behind me to pull around and push it to the basket return {if that makes sense} Low and behold right as I bring my right foot up to step, the basket {which I am controlling} RAMS into my ankle. Instantly, I am feeling a burning tingling sensation. {ya know like you get when you hit your funny bone.. ONLY WORSE!} I figure ahh crap!! I probably just pulled my tendon or something dramatic like that... great, just my luck! I keep thinking “Don’t look at it, it will go away, don’t look at it!" {because you know if you look at it , it will hurt worse!!!!} So I am limping/hobbling to my car trying not to burst into tears {a little background.. my day was a crap day yesterday!! So this was the last straw for me} I get into the car and think.. great how am I suppose to drive to get Maddy! I can’t even feel my toes, it hurts to put pressure on it.. well I end up backing out and driving across the street {literally} to Maddy’s daycare.. WITH MY LEFT FOOT {so awkward, I do NOT recommend} I hobble up to the door {still hadn’t looked at it at this point} get in she can see I am limping.. Teresa asks if I am okay.. and what do you know, I BURST into tears.. {this was the second time today that I had cried.. what is wrong with me!?} She tells me to sit down, and we notice it is bleeding pretty bad and it's all over my shoe. {NICE! The pain just worsened now- of course because I LOOKED!!!} It had split open my ankle.. Poor Maddy was like “It’s okay momma, don’t worry I’ll take care of it!” We get the bleeding to stop, finally! I think to myself alright I have to get home for dinner!! So I tell Teresa I will be fine, really, I will! Well not even a block away I am not okay, I pull over and call my mom by then I am bawling AGAIN and she instantly turns into Mom mode, grabs my dad and they are on their way to get me.. My dear sweet Dad drives me home.. {how thoughtful right!?} The whole way he is cursing me for wearing flip-flops {of course} and can’t understand why I am crying { of course again!- HORMONES dad… HORMONES}

The morale of thisVERY long story.. somewhat shortened.. don’t wear flip flops {according to my Dad} AND just beware of shopping carts.. they bite! They bite hard!!

I’m Gonna be a Bear

In this life I’m a woman. In my next life, I’d like to come back as a bear.

When you’re a bear, you get to hibernate. You do nothing but sleep for Six months….. I could deal with that.

Before you hibernate, you’re supposed to eat yourself stupid…… I could deal with that too.

When you’re a girl bear, you birth your children (who are the size of walnuts) while you’re sleeping and wake to partially grown, cute cuddly cubs……I could definitely deal with that.

If you’re a mama bear, everyone knows you mean business. You swat anyone who bothers your cubs. If your cubs get out of line, you swat them too…. I could deal with that.

If your a bear, your mate EXPECTS you to wake up growling. He EXPECTS that you will have hairy legs and excess body fat.

Yup… i’m gonna be a bear.
