Yesterday really was such a better day for, I feel all 4 of us! Chazlyn went to Nursery just fine, which was a relief since she NEVER lets us go to class without being a lot of trouble. Cadence on the other hand had a hard time with letting us go, but she went and had a good time, and so that's a good thing for her. Then there's Clint and I. Class was really good. I love that the Dees were the first to befriend us. They have just been the best family to us. After we split for the 3rd hour, I was asked to give the closing prayer, which I accepted, and I made a new friend. Her name is Tara Schneider. My goal is to meet one new person a week. I still only know less than 10 people, but the more involved I get the more people I will get to know!:)
The lesson that we had in both Priesthood and Relief Society was on Fasting. The only thing that I could think about was the fact that our family was going to have a family fast the Sunday before Granny passed, which thankfully we never had to do, and that was not setting well. I thought that I was going to be sick! I was going to mention something about it during the lesson, but it's really nothing that I like to talk about since we are going to be at a year here before much longer, actually 1 week after Clint's birthday. Not fun that it falls on a Sunday, as it's not going to be a fun day. Although, Clint and I were talking about that and I told him that we may be missing the Sunday after his birthday, and with a puzzled look, he asked why. I told him that that marks a year since Granny passed and it's going to be a hard day for me. While we were at church and were talking to Tyler Dees, while Kelli sat writing, he was telling us that Kelli's dad had passed away on the 23rd of December and that's why they hadn't really been around. So I kind of look at this like healing. Besides that, Clint questioned me with, "Is that something that Granny would want you to do?" So, I look forward to going to church on the 20th. Clint also mentioned that if I am actually having a really hard time with it while we are at church that isn't the church a good support system for me?? Gee, he's right!! And the sad part is that I know all this, it sometimes just takes hearing it every once in a while to get it. I love that my husband is in this with me!
We finally got our grocery shopping done and are stocked for at least 2 weeks. I am looking forward to making somethings this week that I have never made before, so trying something new is always fun for me. I am so glad that we have decided to do grocery shopping every 2 weeks. It was a disaster last night!! I hate grocery shopping when the kids are tired. We just needed to get it done before today and Sunday was unfortunately the only day that we could do it. But, the best part is that we don't have to worry about going during the work week. THAT'S always a hassle too!
Yesterday we also found out that we have Home Teachers! I really wish that I knew who they were. We don't even know their names, and so hopefully that goes over really well. I love that Clint is getting more active in all of this, and that he isn't doing it just for me!! I asked him about that, and he told me that if he was doing all of this for me, that he would have been baptised along time ago, but he's taking his time, going at his own pace and will probably be inviting the Dees over, who are the Ward Missionaries, just to talk church with them before actually taking the discussions from the missionaries. This is going to be a really good year for us! For as involved as we are getting I can't help but think that when Cadence doubles the age that she is now, she is going to be baptised! This is going to be the year that I am going to have the family that I have always wanted growing up. I love that the Lord has His hand in my life and that He's helping me and my family out along the way. This is a happy point in my life that I am really enjoying right now. We have been blessed!
From what Clint found out from the lady that does our taxes is that we won't be able to get them done until sometime in February. Something about itemizing that is causing us to have to wait to file. We are both just looking forward to getting that money so that we can for one, get out of debt and for two, get our car 100%. We have decided to hold off on getting a second vehicle until next year. This year we are focusing on getting out of debt, next year, or even the year after that we are going to get a second vehicle. My thing is that I want to have a car here at home with me by the time that Cadence starts to school. I will be fine, just having the one until then. So that's what we are doing and are looking forward to!!
Since the 28th of December I have had no pain caused from my gallbladder. I am thinking along the same lines as my mom, when she said that I probably passed a stone! I am kind of looking at all the pain that I was having as a blessing and a learning experience all at the same time. Had I not experienced such pain, to put myself threw a cleanse, and then to be pain free without ever having to go to the ER, is amazing!
