Catching up

The Holidays came and went so fast. I'm still trying to get my Christmas decorations put away. It didn't seem like I had them out for very long. I had a very nice Christmas and hope everyone else did. I can't believe we are getting ready to have Stake Conference already. So my husband is going to be busy with that and I will help him to get things ready. He was a big help to me with getting the packets for the teachers ready. This year is going to be interesting in primary with the new schedule. It makes it a little harder to get things ready for primary with the other ward still in the rooms. Hopefully it will mellow out. We got only one weekend to try it because we have stake conference next week. It's the way things go.

Merry Christmas

I wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas.

Christmas Tree

This has to be the fullest Christmas tree we have had. It is funny how each year we seem to get our trees at different places. Our first year was at Home depot, second Lowe's, we got two from Ralph's and this year we found our tree at Target. This one is so full that you have to walk to the side of the doorway. It is fun having a Christmas tree in the house. Wickett and Mischief do pretty good at avoiding the tree. Every once in a while I'll find Mischief around the bottom of the tree looking at it. He will leave when you tell him to. One day I was talking to my
Vet and she asked if I had a Christmas tree. I said yes, she then precede to tell me that she didn't because of her cat. She told me that one day she was looking at her tree and a branch was drooping. When she got closer she saw two eyes looking back at her. Her cat had climbed up into the tree. That made me wonder if we should but like I said Mischief has been good with the tree.

I can't believe how fast Christmas is coming.

Update

I thought I would take a break from preparing my sharing time. I have had a busy week since we got back. We had our Christmas program for church, the kids did a good. We got back from Utah safely. We had a nice Thanksgiving, it rained most of the day. We went to the St. George Temple to look at the Christmas lights. We also went to Kolob national park and took a drive towards Brian Head and found some snow. We took Wickett with us since my mom went with us, she is a babysitter for Wickett and Mischief when we go somewhere. Darryl's Aunt and cousin watched Mischief. Wickett was not too sure of the snow.

Thankful

This year has brought a lot of things to my mind. Especially with the election and the hateful reactions of those against prop 8. I was beginning to think that in my life I would never find my husband. I was thinking I would be a single woman for the rest of my life. Then I decided to get involved with going to church and met my dear sweet husband. We started out as good friends, then started dating and came to a point were there was more than a friendship. Meeting him has blessed my life so much. He is such a great man. He has all the qualities I was looking for. I didn't get a long real good with my father and other guys were so frustrating. It also frustrates me to think that the gays are trying to destroy marriage and its meaning. How can someone be truly happy with a mate of the same sex, yea there are differences between men and women but they also are what helps us be compatible. We are able to strengthen each others weakness. I am grateful to have the gospel in my life, for my loving husband, for family and friends.
We are going to Utah for Thanksgiving to spend it with my in-laws. It will be nice to get away and to be with family. So I wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.
