Problem solved!!

I thought I would give the update. I went to the doctor last week on Wednesday. He said I probably never got over my sinus infection and bronchitis. So...he gave me antibiotics and some cough syrup. I had not been sleeping very well since I was coughing so hard during the night. Wednesday night I took some and I was able to finally get a good night's rest. I felt so great the next day! It feels wonderful to be on the road to recovery and not be so tired all the time!

I am planning to work on posting some pictures tonight so hopefully I can figure this out! Thanks for all the sweet comments...I really do have wonderful family and friends!!

Hello everyone....I decided it was time to put up a new post. Ben has now started school...he seems to be doing okay. I can't really tell since he does not really share much about school. Ben's brothers both had their babies in the past few months. Jason and Liz had their little boy at the end of November and Josh and Lindsie had their little girl about two weeks ago. They are both very cute and adorable babies! Makes me wonder what Ben and my babies would look like. We'll see someday huh? No babies on the way...sorry!

I have been continuously sick the past few months. We are trying to figure out why. At first I had sinus infection and a throat infection. Then the week of Christmas I had bronchitis. Now...when i thought I was all better I am sick again! I have an appointment tomorrow so hopefully we can find out what is wrong and kick those germs out of my body!

Ben is only working at Wal-Mart on Saturdays. He seems to like having extra time...but I hope he uses that time wisely. I have faith that he will. I look forward to the day when it's my turn to stop working and start working at home! I am working and working...still haven't gotten my application in yet. I am waiting to hear from the stake president to have our eccelestial interview. I have finished the bishop part. I still have to get the transcripts from ISU...something for me to do tomorrow!

A few members in my ward have mentioned a desire to learn sign language...this got me thinking...hmm..maybe I should start a class. However, if I do start a class I don't know where to start! I have been teaching the Young Womens the theme in sign language and I really enjoy teaching them. I still feel strange and mean when I try to correct their signs. I don't want to intimidate any of them. They are supposed to sign the theme in sacrament meeting next Sunday...I look forward to seeing how that goes. I'm sure they all will do well...they learned amazingly fast! I love our ward and am glad we are here to stay for at least another year.

I better get to bed so I can get better faster! I love to read all your posts! Thank you all for entertaining a lonely girl who is all home alone while her husband goes out and plays. Have a lovely day and week!

Let the New Year in!

It has been a while since I last posted. Life has been hectic since then. Ben and I just got a new computer and so I can't post any pictures...sorry..they are not on there yet. I have not had time since Ben loves the computer too much...I try to remind him I am the one who worked for it :). Our holidays were all right. It wasn't the best I've ever had. However, our anniversary was last monday and we had a great night. We don't really have a lot of money to spend and we didn't want to go out anywhere since the weather was stinky. I proposed we dress up and have ourselves a fancy dinner at home. Ben's parents were sweet to give us steak and a broiler pan to broil our steaks on. My parents gave us potatoes and beans. So basically the whole meal was provided by our parents. We didn't realize that until we sat down and ate. We do have pictures but I will have to post them together. I wanted to dance but Ben thought I was crazy so we didn't....I was disappointed but I've moved on! :) New Years was all right...I had to work 9 to 5 and Ben worked 5 to 10. I didn't care...New Year's has not always had an appeal for me...just a new year to make goals I guess.....I personally think we shouldn't just make goals at the beginning of the year but constantly make new goals once we acheive our old goals...hope that makes sense.

Ben starts school on January 12th. I don't know if I look forward to it or not. This semester is supposed to be hard. However, I am proud of him for pursuing this and for not giving up no matter if he can hear or not.

I have decided to go back to school and am in the process of applying to the BYU Online General Studies program. I hope all goes well especially with paying for it. We hope to get some grants and scholarships this year.

I can't think of anything else to write so I'll end this post. Hope the holidays were wonderful for everyone who reads this post!!
