What if...

So today was so just a little crazy. Started school at 8:30 and went until 7:00 tonight because I had a review session. Oh I can't wait to be done with school for good. Don't get me wrong I do like it but it just seems like you are going anywhere. I did find out this wee that my program got shortened by about 15 credits so that was great. Only 2 more years or so. So the major thing that I have been thinking about these last couple of days and how the economy has really been a little crazy. So I have been thinking what if everything goes horribly wrong and most of us lost our jobs and hardly had anything. It would be so hard and we would be scrounging for every penny we could find. Then I came to think that it would be hard but we are all talking about how we don't have enough time for our families but yet we want our money more than our families sometime. So if we were all so poor we would be spending a lot more time with our family. Wouldn't that be the craziest thing if we had to make time for work instead. It would completely take us back half a century and we would have more time to be home with the family and to talk to people..actually talk to people! Not just a quick text or phone call while we are working or driving because we wouldn't want to waste our spare time. Just something to think about. Of course I don't want to be in a depression but having some time with my husband wouldn't be too bad! I think we should live more, laugh more often, and definitely love more!

Thoughts from my Sunday...crazy Sunday!

Oh my goodness it was one crazy Sunday but it has now calmed down. So we went to 3 hours of church and then after we stay for about another hour for our ward missionary meeting. Then the ward mission leader asked Jake to go to the bishopric council because he couldn't make it. I went visiting teaching an hour after that and so I didn't see Jake until later so Jake had 6 hours of church after only 3 weeks from his surgery! Holy cow! It can be a little frustrating because our lives are so full of great things but it is hard when all the great things are bunched together in one day! It calmed down and we had a little bit of time which was really nice and then went to Aunt Karen's house and just chatted with Cassandra for 2 1/2 hours. It was really nice.

So on the note of church it really was a great day though. The lesson was a little crazy but one thing that really struck me was when the Lord says "this is my work and my glory to bring the immortality and eternal life of man." The question was asked how this affects how we view our lives and I really thought for a minute. Then I really thought that this is his mission statement to bring us back to him. Everything he does is to help us to get back to him. Then you think of all the hard things that you go through and all your struggles and it is not just happenstance that we go through these but they are specific to us to get us back home to him. That was just some food for thought. Tell me what you think!

I figured out how to do a background

YAY! I finally figured out how to do my background if any of you have cute websites with templates let me know!

Okay I am going to get serious now...well at least try :)

So I am really going to try on this whole blogging thing. So about my week it has been so crazy. I am absolutely loving school but it is so busy with work and my crippled husband(I can say that and not be rude because we all know he is the doctor even said so) but he is getting so much better. He is still in pain but it is all shaping up. So this morning Jake said to me "you really aren't home much". I felt so bad because last night I tried so hard I clean the whole place...all 500 sf of it and made a nice dinner and then Brother Hadley from our ward called and said the English teachers didn't show up to could I come right away and have Jake come help translate for the Korean man in our ward who was getting the priesthood. I love teaching English and I was so happy I went but I had to laugh because when Jake got home he probably thought I was crazy. The rug and his chair were on the sofa and half the carpet had vacuum lines in it. I had to turn off the oven and go right away. We got home after and we ate our hard food because it just sat for a bit and it was rice. We had to laugh or else I would probably cry...women and their emotions! So that was my day. Now I have class until 7 and a meeting until 8. Now my husband will never see me! At least we have breaks so we talk a lot. This weekend will be great not too much going on just us and our cute little apartment! I found this super funny picture I thought you might like!

I have a blog!

Okay everyone I have a blog now we will see how well this turns out...sorry if it is boring. So I am just at school right now. I have a four hour break on Tuesdays and Thursdays so that gives me a lot of free time to be on here and doing my homework...which I am avoiding. I am really loving my classes this semester though. It really is entertaining because it deals with everyday life. I have a really interesting statistic I learned yesterday. So you know how there has been a lot of talk about so many LDS families getting divorces and the numbers are as high as the rest of the US well our rate is at 50% all together for the church but the divorce rate for temple marriages are 25-30% so that is a little bit better. Then the rate for active members married in the temple is only 7%. I know there are some cases where it is not one persons fault and people do just get divorces but the chances of that happening when you are living the gospel and doing all you can is a lot less. I thought that was really amazing. Oh and I have a funny website about people being obsessed with birthdays and outdoing the jones'.
