My Project

A few days ago a friend from the ward called me and said that she was going through her garage and wanted to know if me and Nolen wanted to go over and look through it all before she got rid of it. We did and we found a cute little coffee table, the only problem was that it wasnt the right color, we took it anyway. While Nolen was at work one day i decided that i would make this table my project, so i went to Home Depot and picked out some Black-Semi Gloss spray paint. (if any of you are rolling your eyes because you know that spary paint wouldnt worked, i know that now haha i just thought i would take the easy way out.) The spray paint went on easy enough and looked really good. I let it dry and dry and dry. All through the night it dried. When i woke up i went straight to it, it still hadnt dried entirely so i took a paper towel and wiped it. It didnt ruin it, but the paint was rubbing off. Not enough to uncover what i cover up, but enough that if you touched the table you would get paint on your hand, and that wouldnt do. I had to tell Nolen my mistake and he calmly said, "that is why you ask the poeple that work at Home Depot what to buy." Needless to say my project eventually became his. Whatever though, right?!? Its not like he wants to relax on his days off....that would be booooring!! (sarcasm) He really wasnt in a bad mood about it and it only took an hr haha. That night i made it up to him though, we went out to dinner and a movie and had fun :)

Nolen had another day off today, we didnt plan anything, but i got a call from a lady in the ward who needed a babysitter. She said she could bring her son to our house to make it easier and so we agreed. We got to act as parents haha. Jessie, the little boy, is 3 and sooo cute. He was not difficult or hyper, and there isnt much for him to get into at our house, but he gave Nolen a run for his money. Nolen was helping him with his lunch when i asked him if he was ready for one. He assured me he was good for about a year. I reminded him they dont come out at this age, but im not sure if a new born is any easier haha.


Life is good. We are still planning on coming home in Dec for Christmas and then at that time the we will head to the Temple. We met with our Bishop and he said that Dec was do-able although he isnt very quick to action. He says we need to attend a Temple Prep class but gives us no information on when the next one starts. I guess its up to us. :) No worries, since we want it we will get it!!

I talked to each family member yesterday and it felt good! Mom and Dad are great, Jerica is still working on her mission papers while attending possibly her last semester at GWC for a while, Aubree started her first semester at GWC and is a little overwhelmed but handling it well. She got an 83% on her first math test and was stoked! Amanda is overwhelmed already with her sophomore year, but what do you expect when you work hard to be a straight A student AND a track star. Elizabeth is doing well and is excited to have her 3 best friends in her 5th grade class. 3 of them just pulled off a surprise party for the 4th and she was excited it was a success! I love my family and miss them terribly but love that i am able to talk to them whenever! :)
