Lunch with my Friends

I got up this morning and made sure Harrison got his breakfast and figured out the carbs. He is so good at it. All went well. After they left for school I got my shower and got ready for the day. I was so tired today. Harrison called me at about 9 to tell me he had forgotten his test strips so I took some down to the school for him. I had to call Amie to see where the keys to the Donali were. I came back from that and Yvonne Norton came down to pick up my cards to have the Endowments and Sealing done in the Salt Lake Temple.
Heather came and picked me up and we went and picked up Judy and met Gerri and Meagan at the Trolley place in Springville. It was wonderful food. Judy and I shared a hamburger and fries. I was just the right amount of food for me.
I came back from lunch and called Support for New Family Search to get Yvonne Salcido into the program. For some reason it just wouldn't work but with their help I was able to get it done. Then Yvonne called me to say she was home so I could go over and put a child into a family we had missed. We finally got it all working and got Andrew Mader submitted. We also submitted another couple of families so she could do the work. We printed the FOR for her and then Dean called me to tell me Hannah was waiting for me at the Junior High. Tommy was supposed to be picking her up but the inspector was at the house and he was fixing stuff. The buyers also showed up and the appraiser. I guess it was a zoo down there. The inspector told Tommy that for being as old as our house was he had never seen one in such good shape. Now that made me feel good.
I sped down to pick up Hannah and had to bring her back home to get her glove and down the hill we went again. She got there by 3:30 so she was only 15 minutes late. I told her to tell her coach her grandma was late getting her and blame it on me. I came home just in time to be here for the boys and Hayden wanted to invite his friend over. I made the Chicken Casserole that Amie had frozen and made sure I cut it into 6 equal pieces so Harrison would know how many carbs. I even got out a tape measure to make sure it was cut right. But I must say this is getting easier every day. I am just so proud of Harrison. He is so smart and can figure all this out. We have had a good time learning this together.
Now I am so tired my eyes won't stay open anymore. I put Hannah in charge of making sure the boys went to bed at 9 and I was asleep in a minute.
Grateful Statement: I am grateful today for these wonderful ladies that have been such good friends to me. I will truly miss hanging out with them all the time and walking in the morning with Heather.
John 9 - John 10 In verse 16 where it says, "Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them." really made me realize how much division there was between those that believed and those that didn't. And how hard for the believers to watch the crucifixtion of the Savior.

Beautiful Sabbath in Utah

I went to church with the grandkids today. It was so good to be in church. I have missed 3 weeks in a row with all the moving and Island Park. So it was wonderful to finally be back in church. I really missed it. The first Sunday we were traveling from Idaho to Utah to prepare for our move. As we drove down the freeway there were churches everywhere and they had tons of cars in the parking lots. I just wanted to be in one. I just wish Tommy felt the same way. I don't know if he'll ever want to go.
After church I went over to Yvonne Salcido to see if we could get her registered on New Family Search but it just wouldn't let us do it. I am going to call Salt Lake tomorrow and get this done. I think Satan just doesn't want this to happen but I am bound and determined that it is going to happen.
Then I baked the Manicotti  that Amie made and froze. She had all the serving worked out for Harrison and he was able to figure it all out with Hailey's help. We also had Salad and Garlic Bread. Then Hailey made cookie pies for dessert. It was yummy!
I'm watching some crazy show on TV and thinking about going to bed.
Grateful Statement: I am grateful today for the opportunity I had to go to church. I am grateful for the testimonies that were bore and the Spirit I felt.
John 8 - John 9  In verse 7 it says, "So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her." That tells me how important it is to not judge others. None of us are without sin of some kind.

Relaxing Day

Dean and Amie being all romantic. Aren't they so cute!

 Hayden is just too cute. He ordered an omelette with everthing on it. What a good eater.

 John is having a good conversation with Amie.

 Harrison is having French Toast. He figured all the carbs out and gave himself an insulin shot. He is so smart to figure all this out.

Today was pretty relaxing. I just hung out this morning and at about 10am John came and got me and took me up to the house. He showed me how to work the Carpet Cleaner and I worked on the traffic area to see if I could help them any. They were still wet so I couldn't tell if it had made a difference. Tommy was working on signs for Dean so he came to get me for lunch. We picked up Hayden who was watching cartoon at his house. Amie was at a scout thing with Harrison and Dean had to go visit all his model agents. I remember that on Saturday I could always expect Dean to come by and see how I was doing. Good old days. It was always good to see him. Anyway we went to Wendy's in Spanish Fork for lunch.
I put the carpet cleaner back together and called it a day. I walked down to Dean's and just sat around all afternoon. For dinner we picked up John and all went to Magleby's for dinner. I just had a salad for dinner because I wasn't very hungry. But I do love their rolls. And I saw Stacy Tuckett there. I didn't know she worked there. She is so dang cute. I told her how much I have loved working with her mom. After dinner we came home and I spent the night just watching TV and working on printing out my journals.

Grateful Statement: I am grateful for my wonderful family. Really I could put that statement on here everyday because there is not a day that goes by that I am not grateful for the wonderful kids and grandkids that I have. 

John 7 - John 8  It's hard to read how the people wouldn't believe that Jesus was the Christ and some thought he was a Prophet and not the Christ.

My Ministering Angels Appeared

My fabulous Daughter in Law Amie

 Connie gave me what little energy she had for the day. She vacuumed the whole house downstairs and up. What a hard worker this lady is.

 Judy came and cleaned cupboards on her day off.

 Cynthia came and cleaned floors for me. I think she got the worst job. But look at the smile.

 Kara came in her jammies so I had to take her picture behind the door. Too cute, don't you think.

 Lisa cleaned top cupboards that I couldn't reach. She also vacuumed the baseboards and stairs. What a job. For some reason I didn't get a picture of Cindy but Lisa and I had fun reliving memories of when we were her visiting teachers when I first moved into the ward. What good times. We shed a few tears and had a few laughs. I love all these ladies.

 Mr. Tom worked on the valve under the sink forever until he finally got it fixed.

Tommy and I went to clean at about 8:30 am. Amie came about a half hour later and started cleaning shelves and baseboards. I started vacuuming the floors and base board and her came Connie King. Judy, Cynthia, Kara and Lisa to make quick work out of wiping out my shelves and cleaning my floors. I really had fun with these guys. Then Cindy came with Lacey to help but we were already done so we just chatted and laughed and had a good time. Michelle also came back but we were all done. What wonderful women we have. I love my friends.
Tommy had to fix the ice maker line under the sink. We are having our inspection on Monday so everything has to be in working order. He changed out lights and touched up paint. He has worked so hard getting everything ready.
I have the most wonderful pictures of my Ministering Angels but when I tried to upload them it said I had used up my pictures space and needed to buy more except I can't figure out how to do it. I will get it done and then I'll upload the pictures I have.
Amie figured out my Itunes login so I can now download songs for my Ipod. I just love it. I have the most wonderful album by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir called "Peace Like a River". I listen to it every night as I'm going to sleep. It is so soothing and makes me think of my many blessings.
I had to pay $5 to upgrade my photo storage on my blog. But it's done and so I was able to upload all my pictures. Wahooooo!
Grateful Statement: I am grateful for my hubby today. I need to have more patience with him. I am so grateful that he knows how to fix anything. I love him.
John 6 - John 7  In verse 66 it says "From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him." How very sad that they were in the presence of the Savior and still did not believe.

Almost Done Cleaning

Michelle and Heather came today and helped me clean. It was so good to spend time with them. How I love my friends in Elk Ridge. We got most of the cleaning done. Heather did all my kitchen cabinet and my stove and Michelle wiped all my shelves and floors in my storage rooms. It was so nice to have help. It just made it fun and not so hard. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and it really feels good. Tommy and I had to go to Walmart again so I could get Magic Erasers. Heather brought one to my house and cleaned everything. I can't believe how easy it was to get everything off the handles on my oven. Everywhere it was dirt she just wiped it with the eraser and it came right off. I have a new best friend in my cleaning supplies. We ordered pizza from Pizza Hut for lunch and it was very good.
I made hamburgers for dinner for  Hayden and me because Harrison had a ball game to go to so Hayden stayed with us. Now I'm just hanging out playing on my computer in Dean and Amie's cozy basement. Tommy has already gone to bed. I think I'm working him too hard.
Grateful Statement:  Today I am so grateful for my friends who are so willing to help me. They are such good examples to me. They make me want to do better.
John 5 - John 6  In verse 25 it says "Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live." That's why I do genealogy and why I love it with all my heart!

More Sorting and Packing

Tommy and I went up to the house at about 7:30 and started working. We got everything that was going to Idaho in the garage. John took apart my sewing table and brought the barbecue and the patio furniture into the front yard. He carried tables and all sorts of stuff to the garage for us. Jim and Kari came and took all the stuff for their garage sale. Then I brought all the doll molds from the basement in my garden cart and put them on the trash truck. When Janna and I opened them they started to fall apart. Too long without pouring them I guess. It took me four trips to get them all on the trash trailer and it was hard work pushing the cart up my sidewalk but I did it. It really did make me tired though.
At 11am Yvonne Norton came and got me and we went to Hickory Kist for lunch. It was so good to see her again. I was gone about 2 hours and while I was having my wonderful lunch Amie came and cleaned my upstairs bathrooms and vaccumed my carpets and cleaned the baseboards in the upstairs bedrooms. Now how sweet is that! Tommy and I worked until about 4pm and then we had to quit. We were tired from going up and down the stairs but I really felt good about what we had accomplished. I also clean both my ovens which took all day but now they are done. I just have to wipe out the ash from the cleaning.
At 6pm we met John at Mi Rancherito in Payson for dinner. We took Harrison and Hayden with us so Amie figured out what carbs were in the rice and beans and tortilla for Harrison. He waited for his food to get their and then gave himself his insulin after he gave himself his shot. Then he tested his blood and he was at 58. So he started eating fast so it would come up. He seemed to be feeling better after he ate. We came home and started watching TV and he started feeling bad again. His stomach hurt so he tested his blood again and it was down to 37 and he really wasn't feeling good at all. Hailey had him drink a juice and I had him call Amie. She told him to drink another one. After 15 minutes he started feeling better and Hailey had him check his blood again and he was aroun 130 I think. He felt much better. It was nerve racking for me but I'm glad I'm learning what to do for him. He is such a brave boy. He knows what to do when he starts feeling bad. After all that I am going to bed and get some rest.
Grateful Statement: I am so grateful for my Harrison. I admire him so much for been willing to work with this disease and not feel bad about it. He is just the sweetest.
John 4 - John 5  In verse 14 it says "But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life." This must be why I love the gospel so much. What would my life be without it. I just can't imagine. Where would I go for peace and comfort when things get tough.

Made it to Utah

We got up this morning and loaded the little trailer in the big trailer with come alongs. Tommy and I must have been a sight. But we managed to get it loaded. Then I did the dishes from breakfast and we left to go to Utah. It took us a little longer pulling the trailer but we managed it. We got here around 4pm and went to the house and started moving the rest of our stuff out to the garage. We worked until 6pm and then went to Dean and Amie's. Amie fixed spaghetti for us and John came down and had dinner with us. Now it's 8:30 and I'm so ready for bed.
Grateful Statement: I am so grateful for Dean and Amie and how they welcome us into their home. I am so blessed to have such wonderful kids. I love my family!!!
Luke 24 - John 4 The first scripture I learned as a kid was John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." I truly love this scripture.
