Still Alive

Hello everyone. I am sure you have stopped visiting my blog since its been eons since I have written. However I am still alive. Brock and I should be able to get our internet hooked up this week sometime. (Fingers crossed). So I will be able to update more frequently and actually see what is going on in your worlds. YEAH!!! Girls camp is over. Youth Congerence is over. In the meantime I have been weeding and picking and canning. I did 20 quarts of green beans the night before youth conference and then I did 9 pints last night and 6 pints this morning. I froze the last 3 quarts this morning. My tomatoes should be ready in a week or two. Then I'll be elbow deep in salsa, tomatoes, juice and spaghetti sauce. Fun fun fun!!

Move Update

Okay, I am still going to have sporadic blogs. We don't have our Internet hooked up yet. We only have one cable jack in the apartment and now that we have more room I don't want the computer in the living room. So we have to buy a wireless router and wireless adapter to hook up to it and it is currently not in the budget. I will blog when I get to use Anna's computer or anyone else who will let me use theirs. :) I want to say thank you to everyone who helped us moved, watched Emily, helped clean, etc.. I couldn't have done it with out you. I must say I should be done unpacking and everything by Saturday night. Not bad. Packed, moved, unpacked, emptied storage unit, unpacked, organized in 13 days. (If I reach my Saturday night goal, that is). We ended up canceling our YW Camp Out this weekend due to a forecast of Thunderstorms 'til Monday. So instead they are all coming over to my apartment for food and movies and fun. (More motivation to get everything done). Congrats to my friend Gabi for her wedding. I am so excited you found my blog. I added you to my favs. I am excited to be able to keep in touch. It sounds like you had a great honeymoon. Marriage is GREAT!. Well TTFN.

On Hold

FYI I am going to be putting my Blog on hold for a week. We got a call from the office at our complex and someone didn't show up to get their apartment. Long story short we start moving in tomorrow. So that is what I will be doing all week if anyone needs me. When we are done I will resume blogging. I will try to keep notes in case anything worthwhile happens to blog about once I return. Have a great week.

TWILIGHT

In response to my buddy Mikey B. I am updating my blog so that he has not run out of reading material. So I know I am a little behind but I had to wait until I had finished rereading Harry Potter, and then I had to catch up on everything I hadn't done (house, calling, life, etc...) since I had been reading that and I had to wait until I could borrow the book from Anna. So I am just grateful that I have been sick since Friday because I got to do some GREAT reading. Which is no surprise to anyone because they have already read it and know that it is great. I took it with me on Monday to my Dr.s appointment. I have learned to never go to an appointment empty handed. I couldn't put it down. I was like a zombie. I even got annoyed when the Dr. finally came in to see me because I had to stop reading. I came home and took a nap well actually I finished chapter 5. Then I tried to take a nap but the phone rang as I was almost asleep. Then I was awake so I read chapter 6. Then I slept for about 1/2 hour until the thunder woke me up. Then I read chapter 7. Thanks to Anna for watching Emily. Then that night I just kept reading til 11:30. I read 310 pages on day one. Then this morning when I realized that Brock took off work today to take care of Emily so I could rest and get better (I have the best husband in the world), I reached over to the chest of drawers and started reading. I did get out of bed to eat a quick bite of breakfast then went straight upstairs to rest. This translates into I need to finish the book. So today I read the final 188 pages. I have a theory on why the book is so good. I wold like to know what everyone else thinks. My theory is that it is so good because it is every ones fantasy. Not so much the vampire part, but I think that every girl secretly has a desire to be with the "bad guy." The one that is kind of a rebel, dangerous, but yet you feel calm and safe with him. I know I did when I was 15. Fortunately for me that didn't last long. But I think everyone wants that. Especially little Mormon girls. So as you're reading you put yourself in Bella's situation and you live that through the book. I am dying to start the next one but I have a talk to write and a camp meeting to go to. If I start reading I won't get my talk done and will look like an idiot on Sunday. So I have to wait til Monday. KILLER. So does anyone else have any theories besides the fact that she is a good author? Oh yeah and I am thinking MAJOR GIRLS NIGHT come December. Movies anyone??

Jennifer Rocks!!

Thanx to my friend Jennifer for helping me add an update to my blog. I am not computer savvy and couldn't get it to work. She helped me out, well actually she did it which was a big help to me. What does everyone think of the new enhancement? ;-)

Life Simplified.

So at the zoo today we were talking and I decided that my life would be so much simpler if I rid of some things that seemed like a waste of time. For instance showering. How dumb because 1/2 hour later I am sweating like a pig after wrestling Emily down to get dressed. Plus our apartment doesn't have air so I just sweat all day. Also Cleaning. Big time waster because the house gets trashed in 20 minutes of toy playing. Anna did point out that I would have to do laundry. I'll give her that. Then I realized I would have a significant drop in friends and my husband probably wouldn't like me so much if I didn't shower. And I would go insane in a cluttery not cleaned house for more than a day. So I guess I'll just have to buck up and deal with it. ;-)

Scary Truth

So I have two Laurels graduating this week. I went to Jessica's on Sunday and I am going to Ceci's tomorrow. As I am sitting there doing the math I had a scary realisation. It is that Emily will graduated in the year 2025. Does that not sound like a year from a sci-fi movie? Its galactically far away sounding. And I will be 48 years old. So weird. I still feel like 22. Well most days, except when I am all tired and achy and feel 92. Wow!!!!
