Same old, same old

I know no news is good news sometimes but I sure wish I had something.

I got nothin'.

Well, other than the fact I am now the young women's president in my ward, and now that it has been a couple of months I think it has sunk in and I think I am finally starting to get the hang of things. This calling was a shocker but I love it. I do miss my nursery kids though. If I could just have some kids of my own missing my nursery kids would go away.

Darn kids. Darn timing. Darn waiting. and waiting, and waiting. Waiting is getting a little old and I am starting to feel like I want to just give up but something keeps me going.

As hard as it is to think I might not be able to have children on my own I think I am finally okay with the idea of starting the paperwork for adoption. I have seen a few blogs lately that talk about adoption and those who have been blessed because of it.

I have to apologize to my family for not telling them this first but I think if I just get this out while I feel like I can't hold it in any longer it will be good. And I am realizing as I sit here crying that I am holding in WAY too many feelings, emotions, heart ache, and dreams.

Wow, talk about opening your heart out to the whole world. ah.

On a less emotional level, we planted our garden last weekend, thanks to Mike's mom and dad and Dawna. Thank you for coming to visit. It was good to hear from Curtis and Leigh too. And Grandma Lil. I love Sundays because of church and the opportunity to talk to family. Not that we can't or don't during the week but that is our scheduled time. and I love it.

We planted tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, pickling cucumbers, corn, potatoes, peas, carrots and onions. I can already taste the crunchy carrots now, freshly cleaned of the garden dirt.

yum.

Does it get any better than this?

Mike and I won tickets to the Jessie Ferrell, Brooks and Dunn and Alan Jackson concert last night! It was SO good. Mike and I are huge fans of Alan Jackson and I just loved how relaxed and easy going he was. He really cares about who is in the crowd. During one of his songs he had video of Saskatoon!

The whole concert was awesome. It was nice to spend some time with Mike.






Did you notice the picture of me by the trucks? That was just before the concert.

The picture of the snow is what it looked like when the concert ended!

yes, it really is that time again

I sure hope I seem one year wiser too....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARCY! If it is Darcy's birthday today, you know that it is mine too!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

HAPPY EASTER

I hope you all have a great weekend, hopefully a long weekend for most of you. I am excited to spend my weekend at the temple and at home with my hubby.

I am excited for a boost in my testimony this weekend of the Saviour. I know he lived, died for me and lives again. I am so grateful for His sacrifice for my sins and trials in life. It is such a comfort to be able to personalize the atonement and put it to use in my life.

Again, Happy Easter.

On the mend

Thank you everyone for your support. I am getting better, back at work, and glad that surgery is over!!!!!

Grass

Who ever thought the sight of grass would make ones heart jump.

I love the sight of grass.

Especially after a Saskatchewan winter.

'nuff said.

I love a good sale

So, a couple of weeks ago I went shopping. I have been wanting a plain brown skirt and brown pointy sunday shoes for a long time and just haven't found anything I like or as cheap as I want them! ha...anyway, I went to a store called Spring and found my brown pointed shoes for $20!!!

I never found my brown skirt but I found a cute long sleeved polka dot shirt for $5. It is from Bluenotes, which to me is very much a store for teenagers but I went in anyway just in case. And, I found my 'just in case'! So I went back today and sure enough, the shirts were still there, as well as others, in my size too if you can believe it, and they were 50 percent off their discounted price. So, if you do the math I got two shirts today for $5! Here is a picture of the shirts. The shirt I got before was a brown polka dot one and then today I got the blue and pink.

I'm not good at finding deals, especially getting clothes on sale and in my size that fit, so I am pretty happy about these. As you can tell. Although, now I have 3 shirts that are the same, but oh well.
