Up the nose...

So, I think that most kids have to go thought the "object up the nose" phase, well Abby got hers out of the way this week. She is really into beading right now and I guess she thought she would see if it would fit, yep it did. After she put it UP there she went in to the bathroom and tried to blow it out and since that wasn't working she came into Grandma crying, terrified of how I would react, and told Grandma the story! So, Mom came in and told me, while Abby was crying, and we tried more blowing so nothing was working so I went to call the doctor and Mom got a flashlight and looked up and could see it, so we just had her blow a few more times, and it came out. So, luckily no trips to the doctors or to the ER. So, we've gotten the hair cutting and the object up the nose done with. I hope there aren't any more!!

Visiting Teaching

I don't know why but I just feel really good tonight. I was blessed with the wonderful opportunity to do service tonight. Monica Romney needed a babysitter tonight for Eli and Denise needed someone for Grayson and I jumped at the opportunity and I'm really not quite sure, I wasn't too excited. I had a blast tonight. Abby and Eli and Grayson had such a good time. Both Romney's were able to go out and celebrate Monica's birthday and it was just good for me. That sounds selfish and maybe it is but I'm so glad that I was able to do that. Things have been extremely hard right now for me, the hardest they've been in a while, and tonight I just forgot all those problems and had fun. Abby had someone to play with and it was just a good night. I really felt the spirit more than I have in a long time tonight and I'm so happy for that. So, I just wanted to post that. I love my calling as a visiting teacher. (I'm Monica's visiting teacher). We just got a new route and I'm loving getting to know each one of my ladies and how awesome they are!! It really has been an incredible blessing in my life and I'm thankful for it!!

I know I said I would do a post last night, but it got too late. This post can't be long because I'm working on a paper and a speech that are both due tomorrow, so hopefully tomorrow I will have time to do a real post! Things are going fine here. Really busy with school and taking care of Abby. Her birthday and spring break are this month! Excited about both, I'll need spring break to get me ready for April. That is going to be such a hard month!! With Mom and Dad both going to Seattle, it will be hard to figure out schedules for Abby and I with classes, mostly because it's finals!!! Can't really miss those, so we'll see how it all plays out. More about April tomorrow, I have to get back to work!!

Look at me!!

Being all creative!!

So, this month is Abby's Birthday!

I'll do a post later tonight...I promise!

I'm feeling...

WICKED!



That's right! I got to see Wicked and LOVED it! It is easily one of my new favorites! I'd put it up there with the Phantom and I LOVE the Phantom! It was incredible and yes I already own the soundtrack and really hope it becomes a movie! I'm not going to say anything about it because some of you may not have seen it but if you get the chance you HAVE TO GO! I will never watch the Wizard of Oz again with the same thoughts I used to have....I may not ever watch the Wizard of Oz again period. I'm totally in love again and its amazing!!

On another note....I miss Mike and I'm getting excited to be a aunt again soon and get baby time this summer!!!

(this is what you get for not wanting to have your picture taken with me! ;))


(that goober did NOT want to take his picture with me!! crazy...i know! you would not want to have their picture taken with that! ;))

I'm still here...

to all my devoted readers! Just kiddin! It's been a crazy couple of weeks. I started school again! I'm still not a big fan of IUS but it will get the job done. It's going good. I was signed up for five classes but that was going to be too much so now I'm back to four. Thinking about it...my life isn't that exciting which is why I think I don't blog!! ;) I don't have anything fun to blog about. Still single. I wouldn't be if it were up to Mike. He would LOVE to get me to Seattle and married. I'm not ready though. I'm happy with where I am. Abby is doing good. Growing up!!! It boggles my mind everyday to think that she will be five years old this year!! I would have been married six years this year. My how the time goes by. I look back on it and Sam and I separated three years ago in May and I sometimes think to myself that I haven't done anything with my life since then. I haven't come that far. I was doing so good, I had lost a lot of weight but now it's all back on and I just don't see any progress. That's a bummer!
It was so nice to have Mike home for two weeks. I love that kid!! He's such a good guy! They are due in April so I'm looking for flights for Abby and I to go out there this summer. I'm kind of nervous of going though. Mike says he wants me to date while I'm out there and I don't really want to. My mom and dad are going in April. Mom is going for two and a half weeks and Dad for a week. That should be fun just Abby and I...except that the fact that I'll be doing finals!!! It will all work out though...I hope!! ;)
We had a snow day today and Abby and I were playing outside but I didn't have any batteries for my camera!! I was totally bummed!! Oh well...I hope everyone is doing wonderfully and I miss you all!! I wish for a trip to Utah...SOON!!!
