Midnight hour is close at hand!

It's close to midnight

something evil's lurkin' in the dark

under the moonlight

You see a sight that almost stops your heart

You try to scream

But terror takes the sound before you make it

You start to freeze

As horror looks you right between the eyes

You're paralyzed

'Cause this is thriller

Thriller night

And no one's gonna save you

From the beast about to strike

You know it's thriller

Thriller night

You're fighting for your life

Inside a killer

Thriller tonight, yeah

You hear the door slam

And realize there's nowhere left to run

You feel the cold hand

And wonder if you'll ever see the sun

You close your eyes

And hope that this is just imagination

Girl, but all the while

You hear a creature creepin' up behind

You're outta time

'Cause this is thriller

Thriller night

There ain't no second chance

to fight the thing with the forty eyes, girl

(Thriller)

(Thriller night)

You're fighting for your life

Inside a killer

Thriller tonight

Night creatures crawl

In the depths up to haunt in their masquerade

There's no escaping the jaws of the alien this time

(They're widen open)

Is the end of your life

They're out to get you

There's zombies in on every side

They will possess you

Unless you change that number on your dial

Now is the time

For you and I to cuddle close together, yeah

All through the night

I'll save you from the terror on the screen

I'll make you see

That this is thriller

Thriller night

'Cause I can thrill you more

Than any ghost would ever dare try

(Thriller)

(Thriller night)

So let me hold you tight

And share a

killer, diller, chiller

Thriller here tonight

'Cause this is thriller

Thriller night

Girl, I can thrill you more

Than any ghost would ever dare try

(Thriller)

(Thriller night)

So let me hold you tight

And share a

(killer, thriller)

I'm gonna get you tonight

Darkrkness falls across the land

The midnight hour is close at hand

Creatures crawl in search of blood

To terrorize y'all's neighborhood

And those whoever shall be found

Without the soul for getting down

Must stand and face the hounds of hell

And rot inside a corpse's shell

I'm gonna thrill you tonight

(Thriller, thriller)

I'm gonna thrill you tonight

(Thriller night, thriller)

I'm gonna thrill you tonight

Ooh, babe, I'm gonna thrill you tonight

Thriller night, babe

The foulest stench's in the air

The funk of forty thousand years

And grizzly ghouls from every tomb

Are closing in to seal your doom

And though you fight to stay alive

Your body starts to shiver

for no mere mortal can resist

the evil of the thriller

(Evil laugh)

Stake Conference

This weekend was Fresno North Stake's Stake Conference. It was pretty awesome. Our special guest speaker was our Area 70 Elder Packard!  He was funny and very interesting to listen to. During the adult session, he asked if we had any questions. There were about five of them and he answered them or had someone answer them. We laughed and we cried and we listened intently.

He talked about broken families and how we need to just forgive and love them. He talked about the energy drinks and how we need to lead by example. If we do not want our children to drink them, then we should not, but ultimately it is their choice. He talked about not letting anyone tell you at church that your special needs child needs to be quiet, they are special and God sent them to you. He also mentioned that now that they changed the ages for missionaries, they want to be sure the new missionaries have someone to teach.

He was a very dynamic speaker and he held our attention the entire time he was talking.

Debate and things!

I have seen part of the debates and have heard people discussing them, but I still have no idea what they are talking about. I know who I am voting for, but I really do not understand the topics of the debates. It all sounds like BLAH BLAH BLAH!!

At church there was alot of praying for the missionaries at church this weekend. The Bishop asked that they be mentioned in all prayers that day and by name. It was pretty cool. Prayers were long, but meaningful!

The talks at sacrament were about tithing. They talked about the blessings people have received and what is done with the money. I loved how they mentioned that if you have not paid past tithing, you can become full tithe payers very easy. No need to pay past tithes just pay your tithing now and you are a full tithe payer! It was a great meeting!

Riley was cranky at church, so I spent alot of time in the Mother's Room or walking the halls with her. She was just so dang tired!!  She only took like a twenty minute nap!

Has anyone ever seen Raising Hope? It is totally hilarious!!

A surprise party and conference!

Our weekend started with the preparation for Rebecca's surprise 18th birthday party. Richard had her believing that we were doing a catering gig for Tom on Saturday. She helped shop for it and prepare some of the food. She was pretty upset that she was going to be without her family on Saturday because of the catering gig. 

At 3:45 Richard went to get Rebecca's friend Tiffany so that they could go to the movies to celebrate Rebecca's birthday. They went to see the new Spiderman movie, which was one and a half hours later. We were at home doing the final food prep and setting up the house and backyard and doing some last minute cleaning. At 6:15 people started arriving. By 6:45 we had about 35 people in our house. We got the call that they were on their way home and we all headed outside to surprise her. The look on her face was priceless! She was so surprised! We had alot of fun and she really enjoyed herself.  Later she told Richard that she was going to miss us tomorrow while we were at Tom's catering event. Richard spilled the beans to her about it being a lie. Strange enough she never put it all together, especially after she saw the food we said was for Tom being served at her party.

The best part of that day was when Rebecca went to take a shower and my sister wanted to go dump a glass of cold ice water on her. Richard said he would take care of it and he filled up a pitcher with ice and water. Yes he filled up a one gallon pitcher. We snuck into the bathroom and Richard dumped it on her. Her exact word were "What did you get me wet with?". It was hilarious.

Conference was amazing! Dallin H Oakes talk was the best one! Of course the Prophet too, but I really like how Oakes gave it to us! I can't wait for his talk to be published in next monthes Ensign! There were alot of good talks especially the one from the female speakers. I liked her phrase, "First Observe, then Serve".

What talks did you like at conference?!?!

Weekend Update

This weekend started with a funeral in Los Banos for my best friend's mother. It was a catholic ceremony and it was VERY different. All the standing up and weird things said after the priest said something, was a very interesting experience. I got to see real nuns for the first time in my life, and they were not like Sister Act nuns! They wore a gray habit and did alot of kneeling and crossing themselves. I was hoping they would sing like the nuns on Sister Act, but nope!
That night we went to the Peachwood Ward Fall Social. It was pretty fun. They did Minute to Win It! It was hilarious. I really wish that I was able to participate, but it was the younger couples with children. It seems like at 39, I am too old for stuff like that. It was a fun night but we were very tired when we got home.
The next morning, Riley had a fever. We think it was from her teething. She was cranky and only wanted me most of the day. By late afternoon she was doing great. She slept for a long time in Richard's arms and when she woke up she was happier and cooler. Still no teeth though.
Sunday we had the Sisters from the LDS employment office do a presentation during third hour. YM and YW took over primary.
Shocking as it may be, that was our entire weekend. Pretty laid back and relaxing.
Today I am back at work and I really need some more sleep. I am SOOOOO exhausted.
