Weightly matters

I have done really good the past few days. I have lost weight more this week than I have in the last few weeks.My weigh in is not for a few more days but I check it everyday out of habit. Its nice that my jeans fit looser.

Easter Brunch

I just love Tylers hair flip... He looks like he just got out of bed :)

Tyler thought the best way to get what was in his bag was to swing it.

For Easter this year we went to my parents house and had a big brunch. I asked Morgan if she could take some pictures of what was going on and these are the ones she took.

This is the talented photographer.

My dad drinking my favorite soda!!!!

My Morgan got a picture of me in there too.

We had a pretty quiet Easter. The Easter bunny didn't hide eggs at our house because we forgot to get them ready. We did help Debbie and the girls with their eggs though. We hung out with Karl's mom on Saturday and then saw my family on Easter.

April 11, 2001

Eight years ago today I entered the MTC. It was the
scariest, most exciting time of my life. Up until this point I had family and friends surrounding me and I knew that I was loved by them. On April 9 I flew out to SLC and met my friend Amy Dopp whom I had met at the Auburn Singles Ward when her and her family lived up here. We went to SLC and went to the temple there to do a session and then wandered around Temple Square. We went to the screening of the Testaments, it was a Book of Mormon movie and it was a depiction of the life of the people in the BoM during the time of Christ and after he died and was resurrected. It was wonderful. In Utah when you go on your mission Sizzler gives you one meal for free, so we ate there.
I am so thankful to my Heavenly Father for giving me the oppurtunity to serve my mission. I am a better mother, wife, sister and friend because of the time I spent on my mission. I was not perfect by ANY means and I am still continuing to try to be a better person.
I remember when I was in the MTC, I wanted to be around my MTC district forever. I thought that it wasn't fair that we didn't have MTC reunions, only on the mission. My companion in the MTC was Sis. Harvey and she was from Toole, UT.
Most of my companions were from Utah with the exception of Sis Kartchner, who was from St. David, Az and Sis Oyunchimeg who was from Mongolia. I served in Fayettville, AR, Branson, Missouri, and Henryetta and Grove ,OK. I served in every state that was possible for a sister to serve in. It was the best time of my life.
This morning I got up and went to the Temple. I was supposed to go with Garnet and her hubby but they slept in. It was WONDERFUL!!!

Weigh -in

This weigh in I gained 2 lbs. I was not surprised and I was glad it was only two pounds that I went up. We had a birthday party to go to last week and then on Sunday we had a wonderful bbq at my parents house. it was SOOO good. We did have lots of salad and fruit and veggies. But nothing is complete without ranch for my veggies and we found this cream cheese fruit dip that was WONDERFUL.
In the other parts of my little world...... I am tired. I think that I want things to e more in order but it is exhausting to me to see chaos and change it to order. I will find a way it will just take thought and then action. That doesn't mean to the junk food isle either!!!!
