TEETH

After having sinus surgery and TMJ, and massive headaches, I thought I had all that could happen, but NO... Last night while flossing, witch I don't normally do, I found a piece of filling , yes that is right I have no chose but to go to the dentist. I don't really mind but we don't have dental insurance, so I called around and was able to find low income dental. I called and they said they couldn't see me until Friday. I told her my sad story and I was able to be seen today. I am grateful for the kindness of others and their willingness to serve. The clinic a volunteer one, so in all honesty I am lucky to be seen at all. hansom sometimes teases me that with out me no doctor would ever make money.

looking back

Hansom and I are going though our entire two bedroom apt. together, yes that is right I said together. I have had to talk about way I want to keep things that I have been hanging on to for years and found that a lot of things are nice to have, but when you live in a two bedroom house with three kids, it gets crowded fast. I have learned a lot about organizing. we have put everything back toget her so we both know were to find things. No more searching the house for a pen. I have loved having this time with my husband. I haven't always had time to spend with him. Even though we wish he was able to work now, it has been a great blessing to have him home. I have had a lot of health issues of late, and a lot of them have regarded Hansom to be by my side or to take care of the kids. I have seen our family grow into some thing I hope it would be. A lot of the things that we have said we would do, we are because we have time. I am learning German. Hanson is an amazing teacher and I feel so good knowing that he has faith in me and takes the time to tech me.

On line...at last!!!

We are on line again. we decided that it was something we needed after all.

The end has come, agian.

No, not the end of the year. My time with my family. We are going home tomorrow, I never feel like I have had enough time. Two weeks are never enough. I did something I wanted to with family or friends for every day, and still I am trying to fit more in. Staying up until all hours of the night is not the way to do it. I need to find a better solution. If any of y'all have any ideas let me know. I am almost to the piont that I need a vacation from my vvacation. Don't get me wrong, I have loved being here and seeing everyone. I just have to find a better way.

Hopper, from this day forth known as PaPa is 6 years old today!!!!!

6 years ago today a bright eyed wonder entered my life. He was (and still is for that matter) full of spunk and drive for life. When he would wake me so early in the morning I would think "can I really do this" , " he is so small how am I going to protect him from the world." As it turns out I don't have protect him from the world. He knows more about God and his plan than I ever could have hoped for. He is an awesome missionary, and friend to others. He doesn't judge by the worlds standards. He brings a little bit of heaven into my life every day. I am so thankful that I could have him with me. That I am able to learn from him and all that he does. I have been so blessed to have his souring spirit in my life. I have learned many things by trial and by faith. I have leaned about Gods love for all his children and the plan that he has for them. I love Him with more of my heart than I could have imagined. He brings out the best inn everyone, including me.

I am going to have a Dragon birthday with a dragon birthday cake and homemade pizza my by my uncles. -PaPa

Christmas is upon us

I LOVE christmas! When I was little I remember Christmas being a magical time of year where angels would leave presents and goodies on the doorstep. Making grandma's amazing sugar cookies. Reading and watching christmas stories with family. Reenacting the Christmas story. Making gifts for loved ones and trying to see what they got me. It was such a magical time. I want the same ting for my children. I have learned, as I think that every parent must, that even if all you have for your child to open is some thing small that you made it means more that all the things that they say they want. They DON'T need it all. Christmas isn't about getting things, it is more about remembering those you love and showing it in any way you can. As the savior would. In the Scriptures I don't remember Christ ever giving his disciples great worldly gifts. As I remember it he gave the love and knowledge of the gospel. If we focus on the same things then we will not only be showing the love that we have for each other, but the love that our father has for us. 

Back for a Day

My youngest brother just got back from his mission in Paraguay.  He wasn't even home for 12 hours before he had a date for the next say. I think that is funny. I love him so much and my testimony has grown so much because of his faith to do as the Lord commands. My Hansom has finished his schooling and is hopefully going to be getting a job hear next year. We love it hear. It is amazing how you learn to love those around you no matter where you are. I have learned so much, with out friends and family from afar. I want to thank you all for your love and support and prayers. It has made all the difference in my life. I am going in for sines surgery on the 4th of Dec. so more prayers would be greatly appreciated. I hope to be able to write again soon.
