That's just...well...SEXY!

Stop looking...he's mine! :)

I figured it out...I did...REALLY!

I finally figured out what service I am going to do.

Here was my problem:

Usual daily schedule--

6:15am-Alarm goes off hit snooze about 4 times
6:40am-Drag my butt out of bed
----Take shower, eat breakfast, get ready for work
7:55am-Head out the door for work
----Drive to work
8:45am-Log in to my computer at work
9:00am-Start work
----WORK WORK WORK WORK
5:30pm-Get off work (if I'm lucky and don't get a windbag on my last call)
----DRIVE HOME!!!!!! WOO HOO!
6:30pm Arrive at home (that's right folks...an hour drive)
----Check mail, make dinner, check e-mail, clean, do laundry, do dishes (luckily I have a good husband that helps with all of this so it's not as extreme as it sounds...he probably does more than I do)
11:00pm (usually)- GO TO BED

Rinse and Repeat :)

So as you see, I don't have much time for service. I don't think most establishments want me there for 10 minutes and really late at night.

SOLUTION?????

FamilySearchIndexing.org

I can do it right from the comfort of my own home. It's interesting. It's entertaining. It's a challenge.


WHAT!?!?!?!? You try reading some of the handwriting on those documents!

Bottom Line: I CAN DO IT AND I LIKE THAT IT FITS INTO MY SCHEDULE SO NICELY!

D&C 138

I just read the article "I Saw the Hosts of the Dead" from the December 2009Ensign. I have linked it above. I would HIGHLY recommend reading it.

I read it in conjunction with D&C 138 and LOVED IT!

It was very touching to find out how the revelation for D&C 138 came. It shows how much God loves us and wants us to know that our loved ones who have passed on are being taken care of.

The poster above describes how I feel today. BRAIN DEAD!

We spent the weekend at my in-laws. It was FANTASTIC!

The best part was playing Dominoes with the family. The girls won...no surprise! Thanks to my sis-in-law, Irene. She was amazing. The guys were so mad! It was the best.

I really enjoyed the whole weekend though.


On another note:

Dun..dun...dun...



That's right folks...I have to go to the doctor!

YIKES!

BUT...it's a good thing. I have needed to go to the doctor for quite sometime. And, although I'm not going to publish what I'm going to the doctor for, I hope that visiting him will help me lead a much better quality of life.

I get to go Friday. Wish me luck!

Darn tricky Deer and Javelina...bah

Last weekend we went to my sisters again to ring in the New Year...NOT!

REAL REASON:Jereld wanted to go hunting.

He went deer and javelina hunting...didn't get anything but saw plenty of deer.

I had fun staying with my sister again. And, they blessed their new baby last Sunday so we got to be there for that.


This weekend we are going to Clay Springs to my in-laws! I have to say that I am pretty DANG excited! It has been WAY too long since we've been there. I guess I'm weird for being so excited to go to my in-laws! I love going there! I must be one of the lucky ones that got good in-laws.

We are doing our Christmas present exchange this weekend. I can't wait to give Austin his gift! I hope he likes it! We also have gifts for Ammon and Irene (birthday gifts) which I think they will both enjoy. I picked out Irene's gift. Otherwise she would have gotten a gift card! Ha ha.

We are leaving the puppies (fondly known as "the babies") with my brother. They'll be okay, but I'll miss them! Poor babies haven't had a whole lot of attention lately.

On another, unrelated note, I'm thinking of quiting facebook. Is that lame? I'm tired of reading what So and So is doing on FarmVille. I'm tired of reading status updates that say something like, "So and So is glad it's Friday!" I'm glad you're glad it's Friday, So and So, but aren't we all? I, myself, have been guilty of some of these status updates, so I understand, but it doesn't mean I like to read it.

Most of all: I'm disappointed in myself for spending WAY too much time on Facebook in general.

Husband's opinion on the subject: He thinks that if I just check it every once in a while I can still get messages people send me but not see all the garbage that gets put on there.

I don't know if I have that kind of self-control. We'll see.

I want more control...I WANT IT!

You know what bugs me?

Things I can't control. They bug me. I'm a control freak. So, when things don't go how I would like them to go, I panic.

So...as my New Years resolution. I am going to resolve to do some things I CAN control.

1) Eat better (and hopefully lose some weight in the process). I've gained 20 lbs since I got married. This has to STOP!

2) Do more service. I haven't come up with an action plan yet, but I will.

3) Organize my paperwork (bills, documents, etc.). This will involve buying a filing cabinet and rolling up me sleeves, but I CAN DO IT!

4) Getting more organized financially. (My mom is great at this! She is self-taught. I am setting out to do this myself).

That's it folks...that's enough for me to do for now!

On another note, I am very appreciative of an amazing husband! He understands how my little mind works. He understands when I just need to cuddle or be held.

Thanks Jereld!

Pop Quiz to the Driver Behind Me Last Night

1. Why couldn't I see your headlights in my rearview mirror?

A. I was basically driving a sled on wheels, or my car is so low to the ground that
your Ford Taurus was so far above me my headlights don't even register in your rearview mirror.

B. I needed you to reach back and scratch my nose, so I decided to drive really close so you could reach. The nose of my car was probably underneath your car.

C. My friend and I think we are really cool. We wanted to show you how cool we are. How could you see if we were too far back?

D. All of the Above.



(Correct Answer: D)
