Another day brings us closer

howdy all I guess I never did post about Thanksgiving!! we went to my mom and dad's for din din! day started out in caos for my mum. And ended the same anywho... we got there about 11:50 and were the last to arrive (always we are early but the last ones lol) Don's sister MAckenzie and her Hubby Shane had dinner with us, My sisters Bridgette and Wendy and their families were also there! we got everything ready trying to keep the kids outta the kitchen and sat down to eat andas my mom came down the stairs she thought she was on the last step and wasn't and fell. hit her head and hurt her knee and ankle. so we helped her to her chair and we ate. she hobbled back up the stairs and we cleaned up then we left it was to crazy to hang out. So later Dad took her to the ER and she found out she had broken her ankle! Kenz and Shane hung out at our house the rest the day. Weekend went good! DOn had it all off and we pretty much just hung out and enjoyed being together. Sunday Shane and Kenzie came out again and we deep fried a turkey and it was the BEST turkey!! it was soo moist! now here it is Thursay! I can't believe Christmas is already here! We bought a big screen TV for Christmas and Still need to get the rest of the kids. I have some of it done. I don't really have anything for them mostly just family gifts so far.

a small change in life

With in a month of moving to our house in July of 2004 iwas put into Young Women's. I remember from Relief Society one lady playing with Owen while he was on my shoulder. Then him crying (just cuz he was a baby not cuz of her) by the middle of class and so I would leave. Well so then ya I was put into YW as the Beehive advisor in August then in April of 06 I was put in as president. and It was so much fun. I really couldn't ask for a calling I would love more. I really thought it was ending I had been in denial all week. Talking myself out of it. So like Friday I ran into the bishop at the store and he looked, well not like himself he didn't talk much. I knew it then, he is usually really friendly to us and he was just kind of quiet. I went out and saw Twilight again on Saturday with my bff and when I got home Don said the bishop wanted to see me at 10:15 on the next morning. ya what else would he want to see me RIGHT before church huh? **sniff**
So I go in promising myself I won't cry, but I did and he did too. and then Sacrament meeting was coming up and again I promised myself I wouldn't cry but I did because when they announced it one of then girls gasped and started crying and it made me really sad. So here it is like over 24 hours later and I still can't talk about it or think about it cuz I am still crying. you know the worst part I didn't even get to go to YW yesterday and tell tehm how much I love em and am going to miss them cuz it was the 5th sunday and the bishop spoke to the whole ward during that hour. blah! anyway so now I am jobless in my ward. But I am really sad.
