Scrapping Weekend

I got up this morning and went to Judy's to have my hair done. Then I got ready and went to my Scrapping Weekend. These are the 2 layouts I got done and I redid a reunion page that I didn't like. I was very tired from lack of sleep so I left around 9pm and came home. I am finishing this off and going to bed so I can get up in the morning and go back.

Grateful Statement: I am so grateful for my scrapping buddies. They make my life fun, fun, fun!!

Matthew 7 - Matthew 8  On of my favorite scriptures in all the world is contained in this chapter.  "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you."

Balancing the Checkbook

Today was balancing the checkbook day. I got it all done. Then I changed sheets and did laundry. I made Barbeque Chicken, Baked Beans and Baked Potatoes for dinner. It was very good.
I took a good nap on my couch today. It was so relaxing. I just could hardly wake up. I have been tired lately. I don't know if it's stress or just plain laziness. I am excited about Scrapping Weekend tomorrow. Maybe I can start scrapping again. It's been awhile since I've wanted to do any pages. We will see what this weekend brings. I also arbitrated some Census records and made phone calls for Relief Society. There you have it, short and sweet!
Grateful Statement: I am grateful today for the New Testament and the teachings of Jesus. I love to read his words and what I need to do to be better.
Matthew 6 - Matthew 7 More direction to his disciples. The Law of Moses fufilled by the Law of Christ.

Another Genealogy Day

Today Susan came over and we worked on the New Family Search so she could learn how to do it. We worked on Jacque Taylor's line. It was fun and Susan is so smart the she got it the first time on everything. We printed a FOR so Susan can take it to the Temple and get cards printed out.
After that I did some house work and made Rice Pudding and took some to Yvonne Norton. She is such a good friend to me. I just love her...
That's been it for the day. Oh, and I also found a pattern for a skirt and some fabric so maybe tomorrow if I have enough energy I can make one. We'll have to see how that goes. I felt pretty good this morning but I noticed this afternoon my throat started hurting again and I was extremely tired. So I'm going to go hug my pillow.
Grateful Statement: Today I am grateful for the New Family Search that makes it possible to set at your dining room table and submit a name for Temple Work. I love technology.
Matthew 5 - Matthew 6  How marvelous for His disciples to set with Jesus and be taught by Him.

Genealogy We Are Doing It...

I went to the Provo Mall this morning with Tommy and spent my Christmas Gift Card from Dean and Amie. I got shirts and socks and I'm going to make a couple of skirts. I tried to find church dresses but they were all short and ugllllly. After that we went to Macey's and did some grocery shopping, came home and put it all away, Tommy chopped up a head of cabbage, I made cole slaw dressing for Tommy. Then I worked on Relief Society stuff until it was time to go do genealogy/visit teach Arleen Hopkins. We fixed a couple of things that were wrong and got her father sorted out. We had to send a request to Salt Lake to unhook him from his Aunt and Uncle. We'll be waiting on that answer. I was there until almost 3:30. Just as I was finishing up my throat started getting a little scratchy and as the evening progressed I now have an official sore throat and Sinus pressure. Took some Nyquil and hope it's gone in the morning.
I came home and worked some more on Relief Society stuff and made corn bread to go with the beans I made today with the left over ham. They are yummy!
Tomorrow I am for sure going to get a new study guide for the New Testament. I have searched everywhere and can't find mine.
Grateful Statement: I am grateful today for Malachi. He is very sweet to his grandma. I enjoy it when he comes over and stays with us.
Matthew 4 - Matthew 5  I want to study this chapter where it says that satan tempted Jesus when I have my study guide.

Presidency Meeting

This morning I was up early so I could have everything done by 9am when we start our meeting. We got a lot of things planned and then I ran around getting lessons to people and such...
Tommy took my car and got it fixed so we had to go pick it up and then I made Spaghetti dinner. I feel like I have been productive but it doesn't seem like much when you put it in writing. I did get a couple of drawers decluttered and I arbitratred some census'.
Grateful Statement: Today I am grateful for my Savior. As I have been reading the New Testament it just makes me feel so blessed to know of Him and His mission.
Matthew 2 - Matthew 4 I love the part about the wise men visiting Jesus. Susan's sister wrote a book about the gold, frankincense and myrrh. It is a beautiful book that tells of what a great gift they were to Mary and Joseph.

Starting the New Testament

I went to church today. It was a little hard because I still had a headache but I went and learned things and felt uplifted. That's why I go. Tommy was too tired so he stayed home.
After church I took a nap and it did help my headache. Then Tommy and I went to Dean and Amie's for Taco's to celebrate Dean's birthday. Tommy had gone to the mall yesterday and bought Dean a jacket. I love how Tommy does that for him each year.
I came home after dinner and arbitrated more records that where marked in a glowing red, meaning get them done or "puff", they will be gone.
I decided instead of studing the Pearl of Great Price I would read the New Testament being as that's what we are studying this year. I need to find my Student Manual tomorrow so I can read it along with my scriptures.
Grateful Statement: I am so grateful for the gospel. Cynthia asks us what our lives would be like without Jesus Christ and all he has done for me. I just couldn't imagine what life would be like without the gospel. So much would seem so hopeless. How could I have ever endured my mother's passing without knowing she would be free of pain and in Heaven.
Matthew 1 - Matthew 2  What a brave and wonderful woman Mary was. And how honorable was Joseph.

Finished the Doctrine and Covenants

Today I have had a headache and just felt blah all day long. I did manage to finish the Doctrine and Covenents. I started on October 7th. I did a couple of loads of laundry, some dishes and indexed and that's about all I accomplished. I set new goals for 2011 in indexing. I am going to arbitrate 100,000 name by the end of the year. Tomorrow I am going to wake up feeling great. I just know it....
Grateful Statement: I am grateful for a brand new year. I know I will be able to accomplish all the things I want to.
Section 138 - Declaration 2  I did not realize that if the Saints would have continued practicing polygamy that the Temples would have been shut down and all the work for the dead would have stopped.
