To my Surprise!

My visiting Teachers came over to give me some stuff, and she told me I looked like I had withered away! I knew I was sick, and It hurt to much to eat a whole lot at a time. but I didn't know I had lost so much weight. I weighed myself this morning.... 233!! WOW. I am going to gain it all back today of course! But I hope I can keep on going.

Sick!

I finally caught it! I finally caught the winter bug that has been going around. I have been soo sick! Sore throat so sore it hurts to swallow anything! a head ache and if I move to fast or get up too fast I get a little dizzy. And my neck and shoulders are aching. They are just killing me for some reason. But my glands were so swollen it hurt to turn my neck yesterday. I am finally getting over it and it should be gone in a day or two. I had to miss church, and for the FIRST TIME EVER I did not absolutely stuff myself on thanksgiving dinner! It hurt too much to eat so I only ate a little bit. I know it is not Thanksgiving but Mom has to work on thanksgiving night so she decided to have it early. It was good I wish I could have eaten more but it was not to be. At least I got to take some left-overs home to eat at another time. I would have felt severely gypped if I had not been able to do that!
On other news Eric's job is still going well. I finally have insurance for all of my family. I can now go to the doctor for my lingering delivery symptoms. and the dentist to have my wisdom teeth out that are growing sideways according to my last dentist.
Eric can get his braces now he has so wanted for a long time. I do NOT look forward to kissing my husband with his braces but I guess I can to live.
Pictures are still coming. I am such a slacker at least I have had an excuse the last couple days!

Busy Busy!

I have been busy busy busy! Most of my free time has been spent over at mom's spending time with rach before she leaves to go to Denmark! I am soo excited for her. Getting married is so wonderful! And in Denmark no less! She will not have the money for a honeymoon but who needs a honeymoon when you will be living Denmark! That is like a long extended honeymoon, ONE IN WHICH SHE NEVER NEEDS TO GO HOME FROM! Anyway she and I drove to Austin yesterday. She needed a single status verification paper. So we drove 3 hours there stood in line for 20 minutes, and then drove 3 hours back. While we were there though we saw some cool buildings and the capitol of course. and then we ate lunch at spaghetti warehouse. I had a coupon for a BOGO free! That was sooo awesome! and they come with all you can eat salad or soup, so we had a couple salads and took some of our lasagna home with us! And then rach DESTROYED my take home box, so I had to stuff my leftovers in a bag so they wouldn't leak all over the place! We stopped at the outlet malls in Hillsboro on the way back too. I needed a couple things at the kitchen store. And then they had a store closing 70-90% off!!! I got a pair of shorts and a skirt for $2.57!! AWESOME, I LOVE good deals! I also got a one sided cookie sheet that can double as a pizza peel until we have the money to get a better one. My last one was one of those cheap ones that come with the small pizza platter and it Broke in HALF! I was sooo upset! I couldn't bake any bread for the last week and a half! So I can bake some more now and get back into the swing of things.
Rach and I had a great time and we talked about soo many things. It was great. And we were aware that this was her last game of Catan that we played after we got home, and so we let her win out of charity! It had nothing to do with how good she was as a player! But then she challenged us again on Sunday so she has already won her one game so I can beat her now!
I am trying to go to Tyler next week but there are no openings yet. I hope something opens up soon!
Pictures are still coming. I have to find the wire to connect the laptop to the camera. And I am not sure it will connect to the only laptop that is working right now. sorry!

Great Patterns!

I found a site that has some great patterns on it! Sense and Sensibility Patterns offers some great patterns that are based off of the dresses in that time period. They have even converted some of their patterns into epatterns that are easily downloaded. Some of them remind me of what Elizabeth Bennett wore in Pride and Prejudice. I love that movie and the dresses that she wore! Check it out guys! http://www.sensibility.com/pattern/main/?page_id=50

Another SHOUT OUT to Micheal Palsky! My younger brother, and Becky's twin brother! Thanks for the love and understanding you have provided to me and my Family!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

Catching Up!

Okay I did get to meet simon. I like him. He is definitely Danish but very nice. He is good for Rach. Which is good because she is marrying him whether I approve or not. She is getting her endowments here on the 7th so she can go over there and get married. Then she is having her bridal shower the next day. This might not be her going away party yet. I think she is having another one of those so her guy friends will want to come. But whether they will want to come anyway is unknown I mean she is leaving to get married over in Denmark!
Our home teachers never made it over. But that is okay, The house looked nice then and it still does now. I have been much more successful at keeping it clean. I have even started Caleb on Jobs! He has one a day except sunday of course. He is okay about doing them but I do have to watch over him to help him along. Doing it by himself will come later after he is a little older and has been doing them by himself for a while.
I have been making bread up a storm. Everybody loves my bread. They are starting to say it tastes even better then then restaurant breads! WOW! I don't know about that but I do enjoy making it! My rye was a success and It is not my favorite type of bread but I thought it was still good!
I want to try some pita bread and some wheat bread next. I want to try the pita because we recently had some pita bread from the store and it was not the best. I bet I can make some that is better!
Halloween was a blast for Caleb this year. He got to go treating with his ward and then Mel called to borrow my cloak for hers so we went to that one too. Then we took him around the neighborhood on Halloween night. Our neighborhood does not have a lot of people doing Halloween night but he got an entire bucket full just from the few houses we went to. Some even gave them play-doh!
Any more I can think of will have to come later! Oh and Pictures to come soon!
