Drive Page

Tommy and I got up early and went to the house. We finished moving John's stuff all out and I dusted a couple of things. Tommy ran the Shark over the tile floors and I vacuumed downstairs and we were done. They came for their walk through and then they were going to sign paper with their lender. We have to go to Utah First Title tomorrow at 9am to sign our side. Then we just wait for it to fund and record and give them their keys and we are done.

John didn't find anywhere to rent yet so he will stay in a motel over the weekend and see what he can find next week. I wish him luck. He is waiting to hear on a place in Payson.

Then Tommy and I went to Walmart and got kitty food and 2 comfy chairs for ball games. We will also use them in our house for a place to rest. Everything we own is in storage and we can't get at anything. They were perfect for the ball games we went to this afternoon. Hannah played on one field and Hailey played on the field next door. I watched Hannah's game today. She is so cute out there in her uniform.

I went to Heather's and scrapbooked with Heather and Gerri. I made this page of Harley learning to drive. It was the March challenge from Learn to Scrap that Lori put up for us.  It was so fun to hang out with my scrapbooking friends. We had a good time! Can you believe I finally made a page.

And today is John's birthday. He went to dinner with Dean and Amie and tomorrow night I am going to take him to Sizzler.

Grateful Statement: I am grateful this day for my friends Heather and Gerri. They are so fun to be with and make my day!!!

Acts 13 - Acts 14  What great missionaries Paul and Barnabas were Paul and Barnabas. In verse 44, it tells how great they were, "And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God." Wow, the whole city.

Temple Day

Today I went to the Provo Temple. They have bulbs all over just coming up. So very pretty. I did 5 initiatories and had a 45 minutes wait. They were so busy. Makes me happy to wait when so much work is being done. I am so glad I went to the Temple today. I have been feeling out of sorts for a couple of days. Don't know if it's my sinus thing or what but as I doing the initiatories the worker just looked at me and said "I know you are a special lady." Just out of the blue and then she gave me a wonderful back rub. She has no idea how much that changed my attitude today. I came from the Temple just feeling so at peace.
On the way home I stopped at Taco Bell and had a taco and refried beans for lunch. It was yummy. I have always loved there hard taco shells.
I spent the rest of the afternoon and evening indexing and playing on my computer. Amie made Mexican Chowder Soup the other night and I had a bowl for dinner. Yum Yum Good!! That girl can cook.
Grateful Statement: Today I am grateful for the Temple. What a wonderful place to find peace and answers to prayer. I love putting names on the Prayer Roll and knowing that special prayers will be sent up for my loved ones. When Dean was on his mission they would always pray for the missionaries, people who needed special blessings and the youth of the church. John needed special blessing and Janna was a youth so I really felt that all my family was being prayed for.
Acts 12 - Acts 13 I wondered as I read this chapter if Joseph Smith thought maybe an Angel would come to him and get him out of jail like the one that got Peter out.

Doing a lot of Nothing Day

Tommy went to find electrical boxes and I stayed home and did nothing all day. This afternoon I went to watch Hailey play Softball. It was fun but very cold. I didn't think I would ever get warmed up again. Those cold bleaches just make it even worse. But it was fun to watch her play.Tommy and I went to Burger King for dinner and brought home a sandwich to John. Now I'm going to do a little indexing, play a little Frontierville and Cityville and go to bed. How about that for an exciting day. I did see Heather when I gave her my check for women's conference. That will be fun to go with her and Gerri. I made a resevation with Amie for my room in the basement.  It's good to have family in Utah. I can go to all the fun stuff and have somewhere to stay.
I've had a head ache all day so I do believe I'm going to bed and rest my head. Tomorrow it will be all better, I just know it.
Grateful Statement: Today I am grateful for the two sweet little boys that live in this house. They are cute, sweet and just a delight to be around.
Acts 11 - Acts 12 They sent relief to the brethren which dwelt in Judæa just like we send relief to countries that have had catastrophies.

Heading to Utah

Tommy and I got up this morning and straightened up the house and off we went to Utah. The trip was uneventful. I worked on my recipes and indexed all the way. It was snowing when we left so my computer screen was easy to read. It stayed cloudy almost all the way so I was able to get lots done. Of course, I had to have a little nap in there somewhere. Driving always makes me sleepy.
We went by the house and John and Malachi were there so we chatted a bit and made plans to go to dinner at the Mexican Resaurant at 5:30. Then we came home and visited with Dean and the family and then I curled up on my favorite chair in Dean's basement and indexed some more. At 9pm I was too tired to do anything else so I just went to bed. That has been my day.
Grateful Statement: I am grateful for Dean and Amie and their willingness to let us just come down and stay with them. I love my kids and grandkids. They just make me happy!!
Acts 10 - Acts 11  I love the description of Cornelius in verse 2, "A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway." He had an angel sent to him also. It reminds me of Joseph Smith. God has always sent angel to get his work done.

Church was Good

Janna, Austin and Bailee went to church with me today. They read my records into the ward so now it's official. I'm a member of the Rigby 16th ward. I am finally getting to know people. Tommy wouldn't go again. I'm just not going to worry about it. I can't give anyone my Testimony. I wish I could but I can't. The End!!
We came home and took a nap and Scott cooked the trout he caught yesterday for Janna and I. Very good. I am also doing laundry because Janna did hers all day yesterday and so I had to do mine today so I will have clothes to take to Utah tomorrow. We watched the new Yogi Bear movie on Direct TV. We laughed so hard. It was funny!!
I have arbitrated all day today off and on. So I have did something to save souls.
Grateful Statement: Today I am grateful for my daughter and grandkids that are willing to go to church with me each Sunday. It's good to have family with you. I miss those Ingram grandkids that always saved me a spot.
Acts 9 - Acts 10 This chapter talks about the conversion of Saul and how he taught of Jesus Christ after persecuting the church. This inspires me to know that we can never give up on anyone. You never know when someone will have a mighty change of heart.

Babysitting Jersie

This is the face Jersie made when we told her to say cheese...

 What a pretty little thing....

Bailee babysat Jersie with Janna. We really had so much fun watching her. She is so cute and finally decided that I was okay and let me hold her. And then I had to lay down with her so she could fall asleep.
Janna, Bailey and I also went to Abbots to get Austin's Scout patches. I showed Janna their quilt section and we decided we wanted to make a quilt. Maybe it will happen.
I was so tired because I had gotten up a 2 am and couldn't go back to sleep. So I curled up in my bed and slept about 2 hours. It felt so good to be rested. I took Bailee over to the church for some young women's activity because Janna and Scott had gone to town to replace Scott's phone. He went fishing yesterday and the phone had ended up in the river and didn't work anymore. Of course it had all his contacts for the antler business.
I arbitrated 1000 names yesterday. I have to catch up. I'm a little behind if I am going to reach my goal of 100,000 names arbitrated. That's been my day.
Grateful Statement: Today I am grateful for the indexing program. I always have something to do that makes me feel like I am doing something important and worthwhile.
Acts 8 - Acts 9 Simon wanted to buy the power of the Priesthood so he could give the Gift of the Holy Ghost and was told that he was in the "gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity". I guess he just didn't get it...

Another Snowy Day

Again I woke up to snow. So I spent the day doing laundry, cleaning house, feeding the baby goat, indexing and cooking. I made Beef Stew, Salad and Focaccia Bread. Everyone loved it. I will have to make it more often. Janna got her hair done today so we didn't get to the Scout office to get Austin's stuff for his uniform. Maybe tomorrow. I need to get it done before I go to Utah on Monday so I can put them on his uniform.
I did go into town for some things and stopped at a place called Abbot's Crafts. They have beautiful fabric for quilts. I was in heaven. I am so glad I found a fabric place in Rigby.
After dinner Janna, Austin and I went for a walk around the block. Now I must say the blocks around here are pretty big. So I was very tired by the time we got back, plus the wind was blowing hard and it was very cold. But we did it and I'm glad. I just love my dear daughter who knows just what I need.
Grateful Statement: Today I am grateful for a day filled with peace and happiness. Even the snow couldn't get me down for long.
Acts 7 - Acts 8 In verse 35 where it says, "This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? the same did God send to be a ruler and a adeliverer by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush", reminds me of Nephi and how his brothers didn't want him to be a ruler over them.
