Where Has The Week Gone?

It is Thursday, I thought yesterday was Monday but somehow yesterday was Wednesday.  Which I almost forgot, but then remembered because one of my Young Women asked me to come get her.  This was monumental! No it was bigger than that.  Because ever since I was put in as 1st counselor in the Young Women I have told my darling Mia Maids that I love them I want them there but I will not come and kidnap them from them homes.  A technique that the leader before me did often.  She would just show up randomly and drag them to Young Women's.  They all cheered that I would not employ this technique and promptly quit coming.  

My numbers dropped the counselor over me asked if I was doing the right thing, the YW President asked if I was doing the right thing the Bishop asked if I was doing the right thing and on and on.

Then on Sunday one of them asked me to come get her.  My heart cheered, my heart danced, and I finally felt I had done the right thing.  Hey, it only took about 7 months to feel like I was doing the right thing. Not only that but all of my girls showed up.  Ok, when I say all you should know I only have two.  I bet you think that is pretty weird for Utah.  

It was an awesome night and by the time I dropped my beautiful girls at their homes we were laughing and had a very fun night.  They are awesome girls, (have you noticed how much I use that word)I know that the war was not won last night but I think it was a major victory.  I was even asked to come and get them again next week.  Picture in your mind if you will me doing a little happy dance. 

Which brings me back to the fact that somehow I have lost almost a full week.  Well it turns out that I am grounded today.  I know this because my laundry told me so.  So you will probably hear from me again today.  Mainly because I have been tagged?  What is this tagged business?  Guess I will have to figure it out.  But I have all day after work to figure it out.  I'm out of here on my way to play in the water.

Our Christmas Letter

Each year I send out a Christmas letter and the one thing that frustrates me more then anything about the letter is that I can not include all the pictures I would like. That and Brent's rule that the letter has to fit on one side of one paper. I have gotten pretty clever with font size and margins to keep this rule. All you that have read this blog know that I am a sucker for pictures. So this year along with mailing out the letters I am going to post the letter with pictures. YAY ! So fun having your own blog to torture people anyway you want. Our Christmas cards were sent out on Monday so here in all it's digital glory is the letter again, this time with pictures. (Beginning of Letter) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that this letter finds you happy, healthy and enjoying the holiday season. If you are like us, it has been a little bit of a difficult year dealing with increasing prices and a budget that isn't quite stretching to meet every thing you want it to...

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. It is always nice to take time out and spend time with family and enjoy each others company. I am looking forward more than I can say to our Thanksgiving break. I wrapped up my diversity class good, bad, or indifferent it is done. YAY! Reflections is all but done. This year we had 130 projects submitted three years ago when I started as the Reflection chick we had 9 projects submitted. It almost brought me to tears seeing all the kids projects and their creativity. So very awesome and soooo much work. The economy is looking a tiny bit better and it looks like we may get a little good news in the coming months. That will be a welcome break. All in all I have to say things are looking up. Which brings me to my thought for the day "As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." ~John Fitzgerald Kennedy My greatest hope for this holiday season is that I can live by the spiri...

Hip Hip Hurray, Tomorrow is PIE Day

Well in a little less then 24 hours I am going to have to reset this counter.  I can hardly believe that it says 30 days.  I have to tell you I never thought I would make it this many days I really thought I would have to reset it at some point in time. It has been a huge motivation for me knowing that you guys are watching the counter.  Also, knowing that even if you didn't catch me in the time allowed you would see that I punked.  That I didn't have the self control, not to eat sugar. Every time I would think of eating a goodie, I would think about reseting the clock.  I would wonder who was online, I would wonder if I would get caught, I would wonder who would catch me.  By the time I got through thinking about all of that I would decide the treat wasn't worth it. Another motivation has been my kids, who have said, "Mom you don't have to reset the counter no one would know."  I wanted them to see that  I could be honest and not do something I shouldn't ...
