Half way thru the week !

My weeks seem to drag ! But coming to work to just sit here everyday, doing the same thing. Actually nothing, it gets mundane to say the least. And I woke up with a headache :/ Probably from sleeping on socks rolled up in my head ! Google it. Sock bun, or sock curls, or something like that. It doesn't work in my hair. So uncomfy sleep and a head ache didn't work !

Anywho- its almost halloween ! yay !? We still haven't carved our pumpkins :/ Hopefully this week since its the last time to do it ! Ah ! Time disappears ! We have our ward Trunk Or Treat tonight :] Come on down, 630pm :] I'm sad since Chris has class at 630 until 9pm so he wont even be able ot be there at all and he LOVES this. We won for trunk decorations last year. And I don't care enough on my own to do anything. So I think I'll dress up, and that's about it. Maybe play some scary music haha hand out candy. That's all you're getting out of me ! I wish I could have been more prepared and done something Harry Potter-craziness ! I've got the costumes... I wonder if I could get a cauldron and some house crests together... Oh my mind is working now ! Maybe I won't go with the original idea .. >:] i love HP. oh yeah !

What else. Our end of applying Chris is officially done. Were just waiting on Bishop to send in his Endorsement, and then Chris has an interview with the Stake President tomorrow :] Woo. We told Angel last night. She got sad. It was really cute. But I get it. I told her that Im more than happy to stay, but work just isnt working right now. And life is frustrating. Especially when my job is nonexistent. But we shall see. I don't know how long its going to take to send the endorsements, or even how long we have to wait until they make a decision. I could have applied him to the Winter term. Talk about fast if he all of the sudden got accepted and we were outta here in January. Crazy !

So sad story. And this is the most depressing thing of my life so far. All of my rings are gone. Disappeared. Ive searched. My wedding band, my ctr ring AND my engagement ring. I seriously want to cry. Im still numb and in denial about it. My hands will swell throughout the day so usually i take them off for a bit set them down by me and put them back on no worries. Well this time I didn't put them back on and theyre gone. We deep cleaned most of the house yesterday so I thought theyd pop up. Deloris cleaned angel and marks so I thought shed have seen them and stuck them in one of the girls room or jewelry boxes. Nothing. Its more too than I lost my rings. Thats money gone. It had my mom's diamond :[ And I feel weird without my ring. Like people wont see me and think cute shes married.. haha i'm so silly.

What else ! I don't know. I have to teach for the first time on Sunday Relief Society. Im pretty nervous. I think I have all the material I'm going to cover. I just have to go over it, polish it, make sure its within my time limits. Im pretty excited. Were going to have all the women together for this lesson, which never happens :] It's going to be sweet !

And yeah :] lots of other things are going on. But im not really sure what to talk about. Im addicted to pinterest ! Ah ! every second of the day im not busy im on there. If they had an app for my phone we'd be in trouble. Id be fine deleting my facebook and just having pinterest. Oh hobbies <3

To end on a spiritual note, today's scripture of the day on my phone- D&C 108:7: Therefore, strengthen your brethren in all your conversation, in all your prayers, in all your exhortations, and in all your doings.

Im guilty for not doing this. I notice I say things that probably arent productive, or uplifting, whether serious or joking. And even if I don't say things, I think them sometimes. And we are what we think. So I thought it was an interesting scripture. I need to do these things, strengthen those around me in everyway I can. I can do better. Im not a total jerk just tearing people down all the time, but I know it something I can work on :]

On another note, check out this new song by Hilary Weeks. She's amazing, one of my faves. If you ever want to just get me a present... any of her CDs would be amazing ! But the video is beautiful, the song is too. And if I could tell you the stories of the other women in the video, it'd break your heart. But watch it, research them :] Makes you feel better about life!

The Practice of Statistics in the Life Sciences 2nd Edition

Hahaha for some reason when I clicked to write in a title, that's what auto filled. So I thought I'd keep it. Has a nice ring to it.

Well I'm not as good as I'd like to be with this whole updating my blog thing. I went from once a week to once a month ! Ah ! I have got to get better ! I have so much down time its ridiculous !

So I forgot last month hello, it was my birthday ! I'm over getting older haha ! I got to spend the evening with my mother in law since Chris had class. Which most of you would shudder, but I love spending time with her :] We went to hibachi <3 yummmmmy ! and I caught the shrimp ! Then we got coldstone because she was trying to over feed me. And I thought it was weird I didn't mention my birthday. Big 2-5. Oh yeah ugh

On to now. Church is fun as always. Conference was amazing. They get better every year. And I don't know how thats possible. They are so awsome, they have to reach a limit right? NOPE ! My favorite was Neil L Anderson's talk. Go look it up. I keep giving Chris a hard time about it. It's funny :] Maybe next year ! Relief Society is good. I'm starting to talk to people more and they are talking to me more. I like being a position where it makes me go out of my comfort zone and talk to people I wouldn't normally. I love working with Sydney. I feel like she does so much and I just sit there. She really is amazing. And I heard her husband speak for the first time the other night ! Haha. We are underway with choir ! Yay for Hilary being the new choir director. And she's just as gung-ho as I am. She's even kind of stressed about starting Christmas so late. But she's amazing and I'm glad to work with her.  Woo Christmas ! We had a baptism the other week :] LOVE them ! Chelsea and Jerry got baptized and I'm glad we got to be a part of it. It's so awesome to be there for such a big decision and first step :] I had a fun thought today that they could go to the temple next year :]

I also had the chance to go to Time Out for Women. And no its not bad even though a "time out" sounds it. It's basically a "conference" for friday night and a chunk of saturday where a bunch of LDS authors and musicians and just amazing rockstar people get together and teach us and tell us their story. And you get to meet them. So we went to one in Cincinnati, me, Angel, Mert, Patti and Mimi and Mikinzie. Loved it ! Got way too much stuff. I'm going through Deseret Book withdrawals. I love hearing so many wonderful stories and the Spirit really is so strong and the music. I was such a baby and cried all weekend. If I could live the way I feel there... <3 someday.

What else. We had a Stake Temple Trip today. Probably one of the coolest things ever, because it wasn't just a normal Temple trip. We went when the Temple is usually closed and since we could completely staff the temple we got to do our own sessions. So we had enough people trained in our stake to be workers and more than enough people to go. It was pretty sweet to see people you knew everywhere. It really is amazing that a stake can staff their own trips. Im not sure I've heard of it before. I'm sure people do it, but I think it's pretty rare. So that was nice. I wish Chris could have gone :/ We thought the appt. time was later and since he has class we didn't want him to be late or have to worry about rushing. And come to find out, it was way earlier than they said. It was still pretty amazing.

What else... I get to play organ for stake conference :/ haha Dang it for being found out by the stake presidency. It's such a blessing to be known, it makes me feel like I'm working if people know who I am. But times like this when you're asked to do something... haha It's going to be fine.. but I can't say I'm not nervous.

We're house sitting right now for Angel and Mark since they're in Vegas for their 30th anniversary. Fun. Jealous. I love being in a house! I sit and say I can't wait until we have one, but then yes I can. Apts are easy, and cheap. Even if houses are bigger and have dishwashers lol

I applied Chris for BYU the other day. We have to get all his extra stuff together. Endorsement, transcript, etc. I'm nervous about the whole process. I'm not really sure what we're supposed to be doing. With all this craziness with my job here, oh wait, I don't really have a job. It's all less than ideal. I hate it. And do I really want to do this for 2 1/2 more years? Really?! Ugh. But I've come to a conclusion, that we're deciding on Utah for now and then if he doesn't get in to BYU since thats really our only option for school, then it's not where we're supposed to be. So it's just a waiting game until we find out. Everyones really skeptical if he can get it. And it is very selective, but with the Lord, you never know.

I quit Disney. How sad. I really wanted to quit Marshall until they figure out stuff and work for Disney during seasonal since I'll definitely get hours and have money. Benefits are the only problem. :/ And now that my choices for work are crappy choice 1 or choice lab 2... I really wish I would have gone with Disney !

I also just want to say how much I love my husband. Each day I find something else I love about him. And I love that I can look at him and still have that teenager giddy feeling and sigh thinking "I can't believe I get to keep him forever!" There isn't a greater feeling that knowing he's mine, no matter what. Eternal marriage really is the best and it brings such a different perspective into a marriage, and a different dimension almost. I'm glad we decided to get married in the Temple. I love being there and being reminded of so much, of the Plan of Salvation, the Plan of Happiness and my role, my place in all of this, but also in where I can go, what I can become. It really makes all the little things, the silly things that mess up, makes them so small and insignificant. I don't know what I'd do without the Gospel in my life. I love being a member of this Church and all the blessings I get. I'm so blessed ! ah ! Ok. I'll be done. Here's to hoping I can keep up with this thing better !
