I hope you had a great week and you are feeling better. I've been worried about my lil Hermana!!

Been a busy week and I'm still without an office! (My friend told me this is proof I don't need all the crap I have in my file cabinets and drawers...!!!! -- Maybe she's right?!)
Rachel and family came down last weekend and we had Sunday and Monday dinner with them. The kids are so grown up! Duncan is a senior and tall and has a girl friend. Miranda is a sophomore I believe. Drake and Evie are like 10 and 8. They are all nice kids and it was fun to see them for a little while.
Our office remodel is coming along. My office is painted but there was a carpet change and so that got delayed. They say they will carpet my office Tuesday this week. So by Thursday I should be able to settle in again. It will be 5 weeks Thursday since I left my office.
Part of my job is signage in the building...so this new color change means I likely need to order all new signs...or at least at lot of new ones. Interesting when you start a remodel how everything causes something else to need to change.
Tuesday I spent 3.5 hours in the dentist chair. I had a cavity on top and a cracked tooth on the bottom (didn't even realize). They worked on me f.o.r.e.v.e.r. But he did a nice job and I have a beautiful new tooth on the booth and it wasn't even painful. Just long. So long.

She really looks up to him! |
I had some pretty major neck and shoulder pain going on the last week or so and headed back to Dr. Allen. Two visits to the chiropractor and I'm feeling so much better! I've been trying to do weight lifting (they say that is good for old people to not get so doughy! haha) but I must be doing something wrong cause I think that's what caused my pain.

Stayed super busy at work and didn't really have time to think about the weekend -- Bryce and Marlee wanted me to come up for the shower -- but I told them probably not. Then Becky was like...are you coming?!?! So Friday afternoon -- after work -- we decided to have me and Holly go up. Dad had to work a game Friday night so if he went we would have had to go late Friday night or early Saturday morning - both kind of terrible considering how cold it is and stuff.
So Holly and I had a lil road trip together. It was really fun. She programmed funny names in my phone and got new ring tones for people. Then she got out her camera and was taking funky pictures for her class. We talked about life and school and stuff.
We got into a little weather...which I was not happy about...it said it would be clear! But it wasn't TOO bad! We met in Nephi to go to a restaurant AJ wanted us to try...only to find it was closed for 10 days for the owners to be on vacation. Oy! So we found a lil burger joint and ate there. B&M came down too.
Saturday morning Marlee had a shower and it was really nice. She had about 25 people come maybe?! and everyone stayed and visited for over an hour...probably almost 2 hours. I got to hang out with Becky and Suzanne and Wendy.

Dallas and Kayla told us what their babies are going to be...they plan to tell you tomorrow!!!!
Oh, funny story!!! My Dad came with Suzanne to the shower. He didn't really want to go hang with the boys but I walked him over there anyway and sat him down. They were playing the game play 9 -- which I don't think he's played before. They boys taught him how and then HE BEAT THEM!!!! They were like...mom..I know where you get your luck!!!! SO funny!
Sad side note...my dad asked AJ who he was.
So I did it. I drove up and back to Provo. I was actually fine both ways. Didn't get sleepy. Which is surprising to me. Don't love it. But I can do it.
I was listening to my pod cast for come follow me -- I got behind this year so I was listening to the first week of the year. It is about -- We are responsible for our own learning.
Words of the Prophets:
There is a power in the book which will begin to flow into your lives the moment you begin a serious study of the book. You will find greater power to resist temptation. You will find the power to avoid deception. You will find the power to stay on the strait and narrow path. The scriptures are called “the words of life” (D&C 84:85), and nowhere is that more true than it is of the Book of Mormon.
I believe it is true -- that we become more inspired as we read the scriptures and listen to the holy ghost -- the still small voice. 
This week Eme Davis (remember little Emery?) was in an accident at school that required surgery. (I don't know what happened - they never did say). Needless to say it was a tough week for the Davis family. In addition Joy is pregnant again and due in approx 5 weeks I believe. They have Emery, Elsie, a boy and another on the way - so they've grown their family!!! Anyway, on Friday evening they were having family scripture and prayer. When they were saying the prayer Joy thought, I haven't felt the baby move much. Because there had been so much stress this week she hadn't thought much of it. She felt an urgency to get things checked out. She went to the ER and they found that the baby was in a little distress and they checked her in -- until she delivers...which turns out the inspiration was 100% spot on. She had an emergency c section on Saturday night and her baby has arrived.
I have also found that when I am praying and reading the scriptures I feel guided to do things that will help me and keep me going the way I need to go. When I am not doing those things I feel a little lost. I need to step up my game so that I can feel the spirit more easily in my life.
I am thankful that I have you as an example. You are an inspiration to me!!! I love you!
Talk to you soon! Love you!!! mom
