Most Funnest Party EVER!


I had such a great time at our Annual Girls Night Christmas Party. I don't know how long these ladies have been doing this party but I've been able to go for the past two years and it's been a blast! I was so looking forward to this night. I have not been able to go to a girls night since L was born because of having a new baby, and work. Two weeks ago I requested to have this night off and when my work schedule came out and I was scheduled, I told Chris I would call in sick if she didn't reschedule me. Needless to say I didn't have to lie to go to the party, my boss was kind and rearranged the schedule for me.

It is basically your typical "Girls Night" party, there's eating (lots of eating), chatting about babies, hubbies, kids, sex, weight, books, breast feeding, periods, medical ailments, and the Edwards vs Jacob debate. The word Cougar was also thrown around a lot last night.

As usual there is a gift exchange. We have a $5 limit and things range from the crafty and homemade, to the crazy "white elephant". This year was no exception. My friend Amy brought the biggest box you ever saw, it was about 4 feet tall and 2 feet wide, inside was a HUGE stuffed sheep that she apparently got from a display at The Limited. (her sister works there, she didn't have to shove the sheep under her skirt and shop lift it.) Someone brought a Twilight poster with Edward and Bella on it, I really thought we were going to have a cat fight on our hands... some hubby's (you know who's they are ... cough, Kim's, cough) would have given an arm and a leg to be there for that one! I fought over a cute pair of socks, and lost. Then I hit the jack pot! I opened a rather heavy gift, inside was a really cute vase/candle holder, some hazel nut cocoa mix, yummy chocolate cookies, and oh wait what is this last thing here in the bottom... rustling of paper... slowly opening tissue... reading package...


This was my exact reaction. I should have figured there was something up when my friend Jen was in my face with the camera ready, I'm really not that observant though. I'd like to keep this blog "G" rated so let's just say it was a product used to enhance intimacy... and we'll leave it at that.

Today we went to our new ward.  We still have one more week in our current ward but we just wanted to check it out, get our faces known, and possibly drum up some help to unload a moving truck in a couple weeks. Can I just say it was amazing!  We've been to this ward before when Chris was on the High Council so there were a few familiar faces.  That wasn't the amazing part... For the last 2 1/2 years Chris has struggled going to church.  The first year was due to the fact that he was in the hospital and fighting for his life and was unable to physically attend.  Frankly the whole family struggled that year and we stayed home for months because it was too painful to go.  The last year and a half Chris has struggled due to anxiety and panic about church.  He still has a testimony and loves the Gospel, he helps get the kids ready for church and attends when he can but for the most part I'm a single mom when it comes to church attendance.  He cann...

34 Reasons Why I Love You

Today is Chris Birthday! I'm awful about making plans and doing things for him so this year I have tried my best to be better. We are having a small party if you will , with some friends tonight and having his favorite apple cake with caramel topping. I also wanted to give him a little extra and thought I needed to publicly share some of the reasons why I love him. I'm not big on PDA , public displays of affection not the little handheld computer he carries around. So this is very different for me. 34 Reason Why I love You... 34. You like the same TV shows I do 33. If you don’t like the TV show you watch it anyway 32. You are a great Dad 31. You take care of me when I’m sick (even though I’d rather disappear when you are sick) 30. You are very tidy (OK I’m not) 29. You love my cooking 28. If you don’t love my cooking you are kind about it 27. You can cook 26. You support me in my calling no matter how many nights I’m gone, and it's a lot. 25. You encourage me to go t...

Sometimes life changes and we are all trying to catch up

From day one I could tell there was something different about L...he is my 4th child and right from the start I could tell.  I didn't know I could tell.  I knew he was different from my other kids but I didn't have a clue as to why, or what our future would bring. L was my most sweet baby.  All babies are sweet you say, all babies are different.  I know all babies are sweet but I mean this baby was SWEET.  He slept through the night almost from day one, to a mom 6 hours is like an eternity so I'm calling it through the night.  He rarely cried.  When he did and all the normal boxes were checked, feeding, changing, hot/cold, he just wanted to be left alone.  He would lay for hours on the floor on a blanket and watch life happen.  Then he would just fall asleep and take a nap and it was wonderful.  Being a mom of many kiddos it was like this baby was sent to me on purpose to make it easy.  Usually I have a baby and think "I'm not eve...
