This past weekend, on Saturday we got another puppy!! I had been looking on craigslist for a few days, and just wasn't finding anything that I really was liking. Finally we found a dog that was for free and the owners were in Casa Grande. We texted them quite a bit Friday night and had agreed to meet at the Walmart in Coolidge. He is actually quite calm for being only 4 months old. Inky is finally doing more than sleeping all day. She is such an active little dog now. The only thing that doesn't really play in our favor with this dog, is that we really don't know his breed at all. But he has yet to disappoint! I am just glad that I finally got a lap dog! And we decided to name him Max! One of my nieces thought up the name first, so credit goes to her!!

Okay, so I have been sick now for quite sometime. Nothing contagious, just no energy, my throat hurts, my ears hurt, and my chest hurts, especially when I get a coughing spell. I was actually starting to feel better, when i thought that it was a good idea to go to the store last night just to wake up feeling worse than I had all week. Honestly though, I had been fortunate. My sister in law came out here Monday morning and has been with me to help me, but is sadly leaving me later today!:( I am just lad that someone was willing to help me so that I could get some much needed rest!

Although I haven't been feeling 100% here lately, I have still managed to make quite a bit of meals. My favorite by far has got to be the Lemon Chicken! That has been my favorite cookbook! I have made so many things out of it and 9 times out of 10, it has been DELISH!! Tonight I am thinking about making the Candied yams again!! Those were so GOOD!! For those of you that follow my Granny Blog, and are trying things off of it, this one is a must!! So if you haven't seen it go now!!

You will not be disappointed!!

Tomorrow night is making me quite nervous!! I am going to a Relief Society Meeting, and they are doing a little skit of the 10 Virgins, and I was asked to be one!! Really??!?!? I have to get up in front of I don't know how many women, that I don't even know and do this!! The only reason that I had said yes to doing this was because, i really don't know anyone in my ward, yet alone Relief Society, so I thought what better way to get my name out there than to do something like this. I already was going and had even signed up to bring some fruit and veggies that they needed, so why not?? This is what I am having a hard time memorizing...

I did not know what day Christ would come. I learned early in life to read and study the scriptures so I knew you would come one day. Now I stand at your door and m heart is rejoicing. My lamp is full! I do not know why. Perhaps it is because I accepted the spiritual experiences that began in my teen years. Or because I accepted the challenge to "Come Unto Christ", and have claimed the motto throughout life. What a blessing that has been.

I know, it doesn't seem like much, right?? The one thing that I am struggling the most with these lines is the way it is worded. I am just hoping and praying that this is a good move on my part and that everything foes well and that I don't regret going, as I have done with church since going, since I am just not fitting in as well as I would like to! With any luck, this is a good thing....
