Sunday

I only went to CHurch in time to teach my Relief SOciety lesson. i just cannot believe how much my mouth hurts. Josh is still not well either.
The Elders are here giving Cassandra another lesson and Donnell is finishing up dinner. They are going to eat with us. She really is trying and I am so grateful for that.
Serenity was at Church today and thanked everyone in Relief Society for all their help. She enjoyed being pack in Church.
The library pipes froze and when they started thawing out I guess they were leaking from the ceiling and it started smelling burnt. THe fire department was called, Eva was there, police, and Amy. It seems like it is ok but it is closed to the public on Monday due to no water. Wow they day I havae no work all excitement happens-glad I was at home!!!!!
I really don't feel good, so I am getting off of here.
I love you all! B

Can you say COLD!!!!!

I know that I grew up with -40 degree weather, but this cold is crazy here. I cannot believe how cold it has been-they are saying it has been more than 25 years since it has been these temps. Today we woke up and our pipes are froze. I even left the water in the bathroom on-silly me that is the only room with water-go figure. Donnell is trying to thaw them out now.
i went back to the dentist on Wed. and they just gave me another round of antibiotics, they will try to pull them next week. I have been taking Ibprofen around the clock and the pain pills he gave me. i am here to tell you they don't work, I have been crying this morning and if I could I would rip them out myself. They are still telling me the top teeth look fine, I know the pain can cause it to seem like it is all over BUT I know that it is also one of my top back teeth. The weird thing is with growing up deaf in my left ear and NEVER feeling in there-it is killing me. My ear hurts so bad I can't describe it. It is right down in there-weird with the nerves damaged in there.
My Josh is very sick as well, he is running a fever and bless his heart is covered in poison ivy. He broke out after a couple of days back from the campout. He keeps coughing, he just keeps resting and drinking ginger ale. Have I told you how deep my boy's voice is? His hairline above his lip is getting darker and boy his legs are covered with hair!!!!Help my baby is growing into a man!!!!!
Brinae is still loving her life. Her camera is always in use and her fave subject is herself-lol. If you don't know her you would think that is very vain-but she really truly loves herself in a good way. She is such a joy and heaven help me another chip off Donnell's block-she has his humor too.
Cassandra is doing so good, she is coming to Church and staying for all meetings. She meets with the Elders, she is paying tithing, and her goal is she wants to go to Girls Camp with Brinae. She has a long road ahead but is looking forward . I am extremely proud of her. I hope and pray that she continues to have the strength and desire to do so.
Serenity if off to the doctor today to see how her broken leg is doing. She is so tired of all the limitations it has put on her and her family. It has been over two months I believe.I know she just wants her life back and to be in control of her own house.I feel sad for her and I pray she gets good news today.
I love you all and hope you have a great day! B

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Last night was so much fun with family and friends. We used the community room at the library and played Rockband and various games. I enjoyed it and am very grateful for my friends and my family.
I am hoping and praying that we may all have a great New Year. Some of my goals for the year are:
renewing my Temple recommend-it has been like forever
getting healthy-blood pressure, weight, mind(I know it might be impossible to get mind healthyLOL)
live a more destressful life
learn to say it is ok to say NO
making time to play by myself and with friends
get connected and stay connected to old friends and family members
enjoy this year's journey!

I called my cousin Ann and had a great time talking to her. We talked for over a hour and it was so nice. I miss my family. I had been remembering spending so much time with her and her family growing up. They are a big part of my fave memories as a child and youth. I tried to reach Ed her brother, but just got to leave a message.

Tonight is Donnell's and i first date of 2010. I love him and am so happy I met him and was able to be blessed enough to become his wife and eternal mate. He makes me so happy and fills my life with joy. Mom often asks me if he still makes me laugh and I in all honesty can say yes almost EVERYDAY-no lie! Some days I only see him for 5 minutes, thank goodness my hours have changed again so I will be home more now. His laugh is music to my soul, I count him twice when I count my blessings(I read that somewhere and love that quote!)

I love ya all and Happy New Year! B
