MOVING IN!!!!

Thanks for letting me join folks, now you will NEVER get rid of me. LOL

Just wanted to say hi to everyone and tell you all that I miss you and love each and everyone of you. I can't believe how Alan looks like gramps. I about died when Chelsea called me and told me to look at the photo of him on here, she told me to take away the mustache, and so I did, I almost shed a tear, he was the best grampa out there, and Alan you rock too. :}

My seventh son got blessed on last Sunday, he is soo adorable if I do say so myself.

Love you all, and Yes, Tom and Trevor, PLEASE try to find wives before the second Coming, OK!!!! By the way, this will be the only post I do, because I didn't really want to move in on your blog, just comment on it, but I wanted EVERYONE to know that I love you ALL.

This is Exciting ~ I'm REALLY Feeling!!

I thought the trip to the hosp. was worthless prior to it and after it but I'm beginning to see the benefits. I was very angry about going, especially with Eve and Aurora here. Oh BTW I absolutely LOVED having them here and I'm so grateful for having so much time to get to know them as they are now!! I hope I didn't corrupt them too much!! But we had a lot of fun. We laughed so much. I hope I can get two more kids soon!!!! Tawny would do fine here alone and so would David but the younger ones would go stark raving crazy from boredom. I hope ALL of them can come in spaced out times sometime. It will give me such a fantastic opportunity to get to really know them and for them to get to really know me!! Maybe I'll get a job and can pay for them to come. And I will drive much more carefully since that one way street incident is why Janice put me in the hospital. Anyhow back to the feeling stuff. When they discharged me they'd changed my meds. They put me on adderoll to help me focus better and Cymbalta as an antidepressant. But something wonderful happened!! My ins. co wouldn't cover the Cymbalta and I'm doing better than I've EVER done in my life!!!! I'm going to try to stay off the Cymbalta. The adderoll helps only with adult attention deficit disorder but it's working miracles. By being forced not to take the Cymbalta I've found I feel like I used to. A long time ago. The one change .... I'm crying and I'm really feeling my feelings. I have to admit that feeling the pain, betrayal, abandonment and anger really sucks but it's so wonderful that I can cry .... and I'm not talking about my typical few tears rolling down my cheeks, I can have lots of tears flow. This is a gift!!! Now I can feel exuberance and joy. I can feel the Spirit so much stronger. I can feel everything. I was told in one blessing that until I could really learn to feel the pain and cry I wouldn't really feel excitement, joy, the blessings of feeling the Spirit ..... I didn't know how true that was until now. WOW!!!! It's so wonderful. Sometimes so awful but it's worth the awful to get to the wonderful. I am so happy!! Just had to share that. I know that doesn't mean I'm cured but it sure means I'm well on my way!!! I love you all so much!!!!!!!!!!!!! (And if Tom does the "Who Wants to Marry a Hunk of a Cowboy" thing I will check into a hospital just so they have to prove their worth by coming to see me.) ROFLMAO

Cowboy wants a wife?

So there's this show "Farmer Wants A Wife", don't roll your eyes at me, it comes on Wednesday nights and that's the night I happen to have free(er), so I veg... Anyway, it's gotten me thinking, maybe this is a good way to find Tom a wife. We get a reality TV show to find a dozen or so LDS single women around the age of 25-32 (that's probably all there are left in that category anyway). We have to think up challenges, like building a pole barn, feeding and watering animals in a blizzard, disking an arena... and can you imagine the 'meet the family' episode? It would be a real kick if we had to go visit mom in the hospital! So what do you think? Can you think of any more good challenges?

All gave some!

Hey there -

I just wanted to wish everyone a good Memorial day. My best goes to our amazing heros (Steve & Scott) who are so ready to put it all on the line, and no less to Sheralan & Stafani who sacrifice more than I'll ever have to experience and their great children. This goes out to you too mom, I know how much you're proud of theboys for all they do, and Tom, you've been on foriegn soil serving your country as well. I can't listen to certain Country Songs, and a few rock songs anymore, I just get too emotional thinking of all you. You have my support and endless prayers!
I love you!

How David's doing

I'm proud to say that David has had to work his butt off with little to show for it! I was so worried he'd go out there and start having sales right away. His day picked up yesterday with 2 sales. But before that he was feeling a bit discouraged. Things are picking up for him and I think he'll have a good summer. He said, "You know how they say everything is bigger in Texas? Well the hornets are big and red!" He's gotten some red ant bites, and the mosquitoes are enjoying the humidity from night rains and hot days and he has no air conditioning in his car. Such wonderful opportunities for growth! He won't be in his host home until the 24th. Nothing like hotel living.
P.S. _ anyone who is reading this blog has administrative privileges. That means you can add video, pictures, change the background, add a song - whatever you want. I would love to come in and find everything changed!!

Dinner with Bill

Friday night the kids and I were able to meet with Bill at Old Chicago's for dinner. It was wonderful to see him again. We ate great pizza and then played a game of pool....boys against girls. The girls won (thanks Cody.....he scratched). We were able to catch up on our lives and just have a great visit. After dinner we went to Bills hotel (Cody said it looks like a hotel you would see in the movies.....scary movies) and Cody and I recieved blessings. They were just what we needed! Oh yeah, check out the first pic, Ashley is just a little taller than Bill...hard to believe isn't it?
