Creeps

There is one thing that I really HATE. That is a spider. After seeing the one on Kelley's blog it reminded me of what happened to me yesterday. Jenny and I were in the car going to do a few errands. For some reason I looked down to my leg and there was this great big spider crawling on me. I hurridly hit it and set it flying. It gave me the creeps.

Later in the day we were going somewhere again. I looked down at my leg and wouldn't you know it, that same ugly spider was there again. I jumped out of the car and brushed it off of me. I hope this time it's gone for good.

My Weekend

This past weekend I traveled to Utah with the Needles family. Our first stop was Lagoon. We met the Wagner family in Farmington then went on to Lagoon for FRIGHTMARES. It was lots of fun. I went on a few rides. The first one I went on was Dracula's Castle. I rode with Joshua and he kept asking me the whole way if I was scared yet. I didn't get scared until the end of the ride when I found out I couldn't get out of the ride car. Cody had to pull me out of it. The second ride I went on was the Tidal Wave. That was pretty fun. I forgot there was a step I had to go down and I almost fell down. Good thing Rachel was there to hold on to me.
Most of the time Jenny and I and Scott took Coy and Daxton on the kids rides. It got really cold the last hour we were there. I think it was just because the wind picked up.

Saturday was Matt and Jamies day at the Temple. I was glad that Jenny and Tim were able to go with them. I wasn't able to go with them but I am working on that so that I can go with them in the future. Rachel and I spent the day with all the kids. We went to McDonald's to eat lunch and found it to be a scary situation. Because of all the homeless people in the area they only gave you 30 minutes to eat your lunch. We went to the Visitors Center and walked through there. I was really impressed with the changes they have made in there. I could feel the Spirit of the Lord so strongly while we were viewing the large statue of Christ. It made me cry to think that I had cut myself off from Spiritual experiences for so long. I am so thankful that Matt has taken this step in his life. It amazes me because I could never get him to go to church, even when he was a little boy. Maybe I did something right to influence him , even if it was just a little bit.

I am so grateful to Kerry, Kelley, Mom, Heidi and Bill for being there. Also to Alan and Jo White. It was good to see them after all the years that have passed since I last seen them. Our dinner at the Lion House Pantry was really good. I thank Matt and Jamie for including me in their day as much as they could.

Later I rode to Santaquin with Rachel and then went and spent the night with Matt and Jamie. Sunday Rachel and Cody took me to Sandy to meet Jenny and Tim to go back to Idaho. All in all it was a great weekend.

6 Quirks

1. I love to sleep. It is my favorite past time.


2. I am a Coast to Coast addict. I listen to it every night. That's probably why I sleep in.


3. I hate misplacing things. Is my memory going or am I imagining it. It drives me bonkers until I finally find the thing I misplaced.

4. I hate to be interrupted when I am reading a good book. If you see me with a book , just leave me alone.


5. I love to watch LMN movies. I'm having withdrawals right now. Jenny doesn't have the station.

6. I answer my cell phone any time and any place.

Johnny

Once in awhile a pet comes into your life that fills up your heart.
This is my Beagle , Johnny. I got him when he was 6 weeks old. It was fun watching him grow and develop. He was the typical puppy. The first time he bayed it was so funny. He sat down and looked all around with an expression on his face like where did that come from!
My favorite times were when he would snuggle up to me in my chair. He never outgrew that , even when he got older.
Johnny loved to hunt rabbits. I always worried about him while he was out in the forest. As long as I could hear him I knew that he was alright. He would spend hours hunting.
I almost lost Johnny once after a big Rotwieler attacked him. She almost tore off his whole back leg. I got him to a good vet and he did a good job of sewing him back together. I sure did worry about him.
Johnny will always be a part of me. Maybe in the next life I will get him back. He was truly my friend. I had to give him up because I couldn't find a place to keep him. I pray all the time that he is healty and happy in his new home.
Maybe you could share with me something about a favorite pet that you had.

Ghost Story

Ok, here goes!!! When we moved back to Spring Glen we found out that a Spirit lived in our house. We never saw it but we heard it plenty of times.Every morning at 2:00a.m. I would hear it come up the stairs then it would walk around both bedrooms. Sometimes it would move things on my dresser or sit on the end of my bed. I always hid under my covers and prayed it would go away. It never did.

One day while mom and dad were gone we kids decided to go down into the basement to play school. all of a sudden we heard someone walking across a room upstairs and heard a chain dragging across the floor. We froze in fear. All of us ran for the basement door and ran to the front of the house. All of a sudden we realized the Steven wasn't with us. We ran to the back of the house and ran into him coming to join us. He had fallen into the big hole dad had dug in the back. We asked him how he had gotten out of it and he said he didn't know.

We went back to the front of the house and climbed up on to the fence. Bill got brave and picked up a big rock and went to the front door and told it to come out. It never did. We stayed on the fence until mom and dad came home.

I posted this comment on Kerstina's Blog, so I thought I would post it here too.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!!!!!!

General Conference

I just got through reading Leslie's blog and thought that I would share what I got out of General Conference this time. I liked Elder Holland's talk on Angels. It gave me a lot of hope that no matter how bad things might get for us economically, financially, morally, or by experiencing natural disasters , that angels would be found amongst us. They will be sent to give us comfort and to lift us up. Not only will we have Heavenly angels but we are to look for mortal angels as well.

I liked Elder Wirthlin's talk also. He told not to get angry about things and to laugh at times when we feel angry. Elder Nelson's talk on marriage was very good also and it was a timely one for our family. Matt and Jamie will be going to the Temple this coming weekend.

All the talks were very good. They were very uplifting and I felt the Spirit of the Lord here very strongly. I hope you all took advantage and watched or at least listened to conference.
