Moment of silence

The time has come for me to have my first cavity filled tomorrow. I am so sad! I was so close to 32 before this happened! (I just wanted to know how long I could make it).

This past weekend I went to the Arlington Singles Activity. I know I am on the "young" end for SA, but man oh man!!! I feel real young at these things!!! Needless to say I think I saw 3 guys within 10 years of me....and one I knew from college...At least I go. Good thing the speakers were really good. (And they did remind us that we are there for learning...not to get a date....hmmnnn-- why don't they have married activities? sheesh.)

So looking forward to the concert on Sat.!

grrr

I have been trying to get my transcripts sent to Navarro so I can get my acceptance and register for classes. Apparently BYU sent them, but they haven't arrived in 2 weeks! I called and discovered BYU has my ex-married name. I so don't remember changing my name! Needless to say I had to go through the hassle of changing it and resending my transcripts. After 2 years I thought I had FINALLY fixed everything! sheesh.

What's Up

Easter came and went. It was nice to have Rachel's family over for some yummy food. Got to help Kinsee find those Easter eggs. Deviled eggs are so my favorite.
The flowers around the yard are happy. Thank goodness for the rain...otherwise they would not be so happy.

I have decided to go back to school. I will start classes this summer at Navarro. I will then apply for Physical Therapy Assistant school at Tarrant Co. (In Hurst--wherever that is.... near Ft. Worth). It is an Associates Degree-- somewhat backwards I know.... I will make a little more money and hopefully have a little more stability than I have been having recently.

I have been keeping busy these past 2 weeks by going to Coppell (north Dallas) to help a Sylvan center...I at least get to charge them a lot for my knowledge. I will attempt to get a girl trained in the next few weeks so I can stop all the driving.

Other than that not much going on. A concert is coming up so that should be fun!

Texas Bluebonnets

Wanted to share some of the pictures that were taken today. This is my second attempt so let's see what happens!

Kamden had fun throwing his football around the field. I thought it was lost for a minute there!

Kaijsa turns sweet 16 next Sunday. What fun for her! She is getting to be a great driver and I know the boys will be happy to ask her out.

Kaitlyn will turn 12 in May. She is a lot of fun to have here. She likes to read the same books as me and so that is fun for me.

Little Princess, Kinsee, would not stand alone today-- she didn't like the grass! So, still cute as can be this is just fine with me!

Rachel and Larry-- looking so nice! My sister has a birthday soon too!!!! Thanks for letting me take the pictures.

And me-- there you go!

Totally different note, I watched the movie Eragon last night. I HATED it. It was too far from the story. So frustrating.

Museum

Life gets back to normal all too quickly. Work is work...
I am currently reading the Eragon series. It is good! It is easy reading (compared to Lord of the Rings)--anyway I do like it. I am in the second book, Eldest.
For my book club next month we are reading John Adams. I look forward to reading it, but know it will take me awhile to get through it.

Friday night I attempted to have Kamden and Kinsee spend the night. We got home and Papa had dinner ready. They had already eaten so Kinsee wasn't interested, but Kamden ate! Then we played and watched Sleeping Ubey (Beauty for those that don't speak 3 year old). Then I let them take a bubble bath and that was fun for them...until Kinsee fell. When it came time to go to bed Kamden wanted to go home... so I took them back home. It was fun.

Saturday I met a college friend and we went to the Dallas Holocaust Museum. It was a nice museum, small, not too overwhelming. Now I would love to go to the one in DC. We then went and ate at Chipotle. YUM. We are going to get together more often and do Dallas, Ft.Worth touristy things. Next is the Stockyards.

Although it is Spring this weekend has been COLD and windy. I hope the bluebonnets survive so we can take pictures in a field of bluebonnets!

Trip

I had a great trip to Utah. The weather was perfect and good times were had by all (I hope!) Thursday I arrived and had a great time with nieces and nephew. Got to eat at Cafe Rio. I just love that pork salad!!!! Friday I got to do some shopping and cooking. I learned what temp. to bake potatoes at and how to do a shredded pork meat for sandwiches or potatoes. It was wonderful to see friends from college. The kids keep growing! It is nice to catch up on life.
Saturday I got to ride the Heber Creeper. I saw lots of elk and a bald eagle! I had never seen a bald eagle before! It was a beautiful day and a nice ride through the mountains. I got to do more shopping and play some fun games! I need to use Rachel's wii more so I can do better next time!
Sunday I learned how happy I am with my family ward. Went with Darlene to her singles ward and it was a little crazy. I did run into some unexpected friends so that was fun! Perhaps I learned that I DO fit in in a family ward! (Yikes!) Got to see Darlene's family-- always nice to see them! And then I was off to Becky's.
Monday, Emily and I got pedicures and ate some frozen custard (YUM). I got to watch as Becky's 6 yr. old had his 2nd tooth pulled. I don't remember my Dad pulling out my teeth-- so this was an experience! Josh did great! He was so pleased when the tooth fairy had come during the middle of the night!
Tuesday I enjoyed a breakfast of green eggs and ham. I also had green orange juice! Got to love crazy holidays.
It is nice to be home (I look forward to sleeping in my own bed!) But I sure miss my friends and family in Utah!!! I will come back soon!
