Daxton is Braver by far!

On Julie and Matt's blog, Julie wrote about Daxton's trip to the dentist. I too had to go to the dentist, for a deep cleaning yesterday and today I've gotta go have some cavities filled. Yesterday I was so nervous they gave me laughing gas and several numbing shots BEFORE they even came close to my mouth! Even then during the cleaning there were places I could still feel and it hurt but I didn't want another shot so I dealt with it.

Daxton, in the picture I saw you're looking like it wasn't all that bad! Kudos to ya... Now I must be off again to the evil dentist

I think that grownups are more scared than kids are... Good job Daxton!

no more video game blues

On Easter my mom gave Corby a new game for the computer, TWO WORLDS and since then Corby has tried numerous times to get it installed. Come to find out we needed a video card to run the game.

After going to Best Buy and purchasing the card, come to find out when Corby takes the tower in that it's the wrong card! So then the geekbox guy talks him into returning it and purchasing a more expensive one! The guy says to leave it and then he'll call when it's installed. So we do.

We get home and there's a message from the guy saying, we've tried everything but just can't get it to work. We don't have the right card. UGH! Once again Corby is frustrated at what to do.

On Sunday I had told my mom and dad what had happened at Best Buy and that's when my dad turns around and calls the place where we purchased the computer from on Monday. YEAH, they have the right one!

So today, Jake comes over and the two of us go and have it installed! Yippee, my "little gamer" will be happy instead of sad!

Thanks Used Computer Warehouse, you guys are lifesavers!

tellin' it like it is

On Saturday Corby and I were helping a friend, Inez unpack after helping her move into her new townehouse. Well she needed lamps for her living room because it had no other light otherwise. So we drove all over looking for lamps, to wal-mart to shopko to sears grand.
Well we get to sears grand and Inez and I are walking through the isles and soon there is this guy who works there that asks,'can I help you find anything?' so I ask where we can find the lamps. He then says they don't have any.

So in reply I said, "What kind of Sears Grand are you?" The guy was taken aback for a minute and says, "Being grand has nothing to do with it." Then he asks if there's anything else he can help with?

I just turned and said, "I think you've helped enough thanks!"

Inez and I turn and walk away. then about halfway down another isle she turns and says, "I can't believe you just said that." Soon the two of us are laughing while we go look for Corby and once found him he asked what we were laughing about. we told him that we had to leave and then as we were leaving we told him the story.

Honestly, don't call yourself GRAND, if there's nothing grand about you!

Another Negative Test

I've had enough! It's one test after another and they're all negative! I guess everyone's fears and concerns can be put to rest yet again. I am a good person right? Corby and I do the things the Lord expects...so why does this keep happening over and over?

Loved the movie!

Thanks Kaeloni for the suggestion of seeing 'Fireproof'...Corby and I rented it and thought it had a beautiful message. It hit home for us, that is in the years we've been married we've faced some similar challenges too and bounced back.
Thanks again!

Lucy

I had to share this picture of Lucy. Right now she is suffering from sore pads on her feet they are cracked and she is not walking so grand...so my dad gave me the idea of putting vaseline on her pads at night and to prevent her from licking it off I put socks on her feet.

Thought some of you would get a laugh out of it.

Back in Familiar Surroundings

Today I subbed for a teacher at LonePeak Elementary. I taught kindergarten and I LOVED being the one that was bigger than the students. I can't tell you how good it felt to be able to use the signals I've learned to get the kids' attention...like one,two,three eyes on me...It was great to not feel overpowered and helpless.

I had a good time and knowing that when I said "Go pull a card" the student knew I meant it. I love elementary forms of discipline!

Fun in the snow

I can't believe it's April and that there is this much snow on the ground! Of course I know it will melt by tonight but, I thought I'd share the picture I took of Lucy outside waiting for me to let her back in this morning.
