Bavaria

It's 11:45 and Ellyn is wide awake. She took a long Sunday nap at our friend's house and now she's rearin' to go. Jane and Sawyer are asleep and Sadie is fading fast. Today was very warm and we are all a little sweaty and tired. We had a great afternoon and evening. We went to our friend's, the Najdawi's, and had a very simple dinner. They are leaving for the states for a month and we are trying to eat everything out of our freezer so the two of us combined food from our fridges and freezers for dinner. Then we played this lawn game (I need to learn the name) and let the kids jump on the tramp. Sawyer was trying to eat every leaf and twig he could find on the lawn. It was a really nice way to spend a very hot Sunday.

I taught Relief Society today. It was based on Pres. Monson's closing remarks at General Conference, "Abundantly Blessed." There was about a paragraph to actually work with so I was a bit stressed out. However, I was able to refer back to one of my favorite talks ever, "The Lord's Tender Mercies," by Elder Bednar. It was a wonderful way to spend my early, early morning hours, reading the words of our great leaders and pondering on the abundant blessings the Lord has given me. The lesson went well and Ellyn was even happy in nursery for the first time in a month (one of the Lord's tender mercies).

Well I have alot to do tomorrow. I think our paperwork is going to be signed tomorrow and I should be able to start scheduling everything. I think I'm going to go put Ellyn to bed. I was waiting up with her for a little while because she threw up on my bed about an hour and a half ago and I needed to see how she was doing but I think it was just too much hotdog:). Nice long sentence. Ahhh... her meds. have kicked in and she is falling asleep next to our little Sadie. Sweet Dreams.

MICHAEL IS COMING HOME TOMORROW!!

My Michael is coming home . You can't just say it. You have to SING it. Tomorrow my tall, strong, gorgeous, husband will be here and it will be beautiful. He will nestle into the life of our family and we will have him with us, here, in our house, in our family . He'll help put on jammies and read stories, and tutor Jane in math. He'll take me on dates and wrestle at least one child during sacrament meeting. He'll snuggle me in bed at night and nuzzle my neck while I'm doing dishes. We'll go for walks and play games and watch movies and do fun family Saturday stuff. He'll help carry a kid down to the car and then he'll drive while I put on my makeup ! We love him, we know how much he loves us. We can't wait! Don't worry, I won't work him to death. I won't make him cook dinner every night for the next 10 months or hand over the kids and take off to the spa for the weekend (tempting, but... no). We just want him HERE. I kee...

Fun weeks!!!

These past two weeks- three weeks have been quite fun. Up till now school has been really hard. With friends and work. This Jenna that I beleive has already been mentioned is really mean to me. We were best friends one day and the next she had made friends with a drama causer/ bad influence and completely dumped me. It's stupid and I really do try to ignore it but it is more than I can handle. Now I'm lonely in school(because we together had a small group of friends) . I have one other friend so that is good. I hope everything straightens out because she is still being rude to me. Tomorrow is flute auditions. I hope that goes well and I also hope I get my braces off tomorrow. Lots of HOPE. Right now I am watching American Idol with my wonderful family who is the best friend I'll always have. I love taking care of my little siblings. They are always so fun and make me so happy. My mom tries so hard to be a an amazing mother and I appreciate her so much. She is my best friend...

Almost a week already?

I swear I just wrote and yet it is two hours away from Wednesday again. You know sometimes I like to pretend that no one reads my blog and I just ignore the fact that I have anyone reading and then sometimes I just want to write directly to my family and friends that read the blog. I'm fickle like that I guess. This past weekend just seemed really great to me. Friday I felt really ill, just a bad cold but I chose to just stay down for the day and try to recover (cold mostly gone in 3 days by the way)so Friday night we did a pizza night. Aunt Jackie, I'm having the same problem with Fit for Life. I keep expanding my free days and also I am eating way out of control on the free day. A binge if you will. I need to rein in again. Superbowl Sunday and Valentine's Day did not help at all! Which brings me back to pizza night. I saw an ad for $10 pizzas from Pizza Hut. Domino's pizza- fine. Papa John's- I can pass, but when I saw that Pizza Hut special I had to ...
