FOOD!

Let me start off by saying I LOVE FOOD! I eat 24/7, even when I am not hungry I will eat. However today (Thursday) I woke up and had like ¼ of a bowl of cereal….then left the house was busy, didn’t have time and went the rest of the day without eating….I came home at 6:30-ish and was STARVED. Seriously my body was shaking uncontrollably, I felt like I was going to pass out, I was ghostly pale, I had a terrible migraine headache and my stomach was queasy, I felt terrible!
We went out to dinner (because I could NOT wait for dinner to be prepared) and ate. I ordered imminently when we sat down…Then Malachi and I were talking and I remembered that didn’t eat on Wednesday! Wednesday morning I didn’t eat breakfast (because I didn’t feel good) then I started throwing up, when I went to work I felt a little better so I had some wheat thins that afternoon??? Who does that??? No wonder I felt like crap…I hadn’t eaten for two days, and I am the kind of girl that LOVES to eat! I ate a little Chicken salad, its a miracle, all better. So the moral to the story is…If you are feeling shaky, like you are going to pass out- EAT!

So, we got new windows...it was a must. Our windows were single pane aluminum, which is basically one step above saran wrap! We had a bunch of estimates and finally found a good deal! YEAH! I think it makes our house look SOOO MUCH better. Here are just two before and after shots!

AFTER:

Just a walk in the Park!

I am trying to fill my "new found" time with uplifting and de-stressing acivities.
My new friend Rachel and I are going to (try to) walk her dogs about once a week. This will satisfy my doggie time, fortify our friendship, get me outside and maybe get rid of my chubby butt (good luck) I am really excited!

What a Fruit cake!

Today I am staying home and organizing more...I kinda pride myself on my Organization. I like to stay home and go through a closet or room and re-arrange things or purge, or sort, it's one of my favorite things to do. I have a lot of stuff but I normally know where things are and they all have a home. But today I am looking though stuff and finding thank you cards I never sent, Pictures from our wedding that I LOVE and printed off for family members and never gave to them. I am such a fruit-cake! I guess getting organized is a lifelong aspiration, maybe one day I will be better at it!

Dancing fools

Grandpa decided to be a bum and tried to cancel Sunday night dinner….can trick us, I made dinner and the Chappells came over to our house for dinner! Clara buggie really likes taking pictures, AND getting her picture taken. We put in a Veggie tales movie and they were dancing fools! My lighting in my house is REALLY bad for picture taking!

Grand Announcement

I QUIT MY JOB! Well Kinda, I stepped down from being a manager to being a lowly Pee-on checker! It will defiantly be a change, but Malachi and I decided that we needed to make some adjustments in our lives to be happier. I am very excited about this new adventure because it will give me a lot more flexibility in my job. I probably will still be working closing shifts, but not as often. I will NOT be working Sundays, so I can go to CHURCH, a much needed modification, and I will only be working a few days a week, so I will have more time to hang out with Family and Malachi! Not to mention it will be A LOT less stress! YEAH!! LESS STRESS!!
So I told them I would stay in my Manager position through the end of the month so that they can find and train a replacement (replace me, good luck!) but starting next month I am officially a checker…AND…even more fun we have a bakery girl that is going out on Maternity leave and I am going to fill in for her for the 12 weeks she is out!
We are very excited about this priority change; hopefully this will help transform the rest of our lives!

Sacrament

Today we went to church at the Chappell’s ward, and Audrey was so stinkin‘ cute. When the Sacrament came around we passed the tray of bread down and Audrey reverently took one and then Clara was taking one and Audrey said “ No Clara, get a big one!”
Then after Sacrament I got out a few books, one was a farm book that had moving parts. You could spin the wheel and the picture would change or pull a tab…. Anyways on the front it had a wheel with a cat, a sheep and a pig and when you spun it the moved. Audrey looked at it and said “what is that cat doing, it’s not a cow and only cows jump over the moon!”
They are so stinkin’ cute! I submit this picture as proof!
