Last Week of School

I can't believe that is this the last week of school then finals!! I only have one Semester left. I really can't believe I have made it this far! I am just going to be working on stuff to hand in this week then I will have to study really hard for the Food Science Lab because I am thinking it is going to be pretty difficult but I am way excited to be done! We are also getting ready to move in to Christy's house so next week after finals I am going to be going through stuff to get rid of and packing up. We won't be moving in until the last week however because my mother-in-law need a place to stay when they come down. Also Jeremiah and Dano are coming home for Christmas so that is exciting we will get to see them and almost all of the family will be together for the Christmas season. That is about all for my news this time. Love ya all, Lea

Shopping Fun

So Mom and I had all kinds of adventures last week with the sales and for the most part I think I did ok at not spending too much, but that is yet to be determined.  I got myself a new Playstation 3 and I might have a buyer for my old one.  If I can make that sale I will have gotten a pretty good deal on a bunch of blu ray movies and quite a few of them are ones that I am excited to have.  I may get the guy that is buying the system to take some of the ones I am less enthusiastic about and that way make up a little more of the cost of the upgrade.  Otherwise I am excited to be mostly done with holiday shopping and not too much poorer for it.

Visit with Dad

This is from when we went down in October to see Dad. I liked this one the most. Except all the kids would not get in the photo.

A post I found on the latest Berly thing.

This is about the two people they found out in Beryl I like to read the Posts sometimes they are funny but this is out of the world funny.

I think Beryl is creepy. We looked at property out there two years ago, but I looked around and knew that I couldn't look out my window every morning to Beryl. It's like the twilight zone or something. That's what it reminds me of. A place where an alien space craft crashed years ago and aliens took over the bodies of the residents.

Thanksgiving Time!

Well it is time for me to post again. I just took the PLT and Content Knowledge test for teaching. Wow did it ever wipe me out! I was so stressed, I hate standardized testing the older I get the more test anxiety I have! Anyway I think I did alright but we will see, I just so hope I don't have to take it again because I wouldn't be able to sit there and take it again it had so many essay questions to write and it was definately a crunch for time. But I survived and here I am. I am starting to get a sore throat though it is crazy every time I am super stressed about something and then right after when my body is relaxed it says come one germs feed on me. But I am going to fight it and do the "secret" remedy which of course is secret but I will tell you cause I trust you all (it is .....cayenne, salt and lemon juice) it does wonders I was skeptic at first as well but I tried it and I am a soul believer. (ha ha) Anyway back to the real reason I wanted to post. I was reading Abe's blog about being grateful and I thought what a great opportunity to let you know the things that I am gateful for.....I am grateful for a mom that loves us ALL so much that she would do anything and everything she could to help us, a mom that is so selfless that she would sacrifice everything for us to be happy, safe, and well, a mom that loves us all unconditionally and takes care of us better than anyone I know (besides Heavenly Father and Jesus of course) but you know anyone here on Earth. I am thankful for family that unites in time of need and is there just to lean on and be a ear to listen to, I am thankful for family that is there to be my friends and ones that I love to be with, I am thankful for each other so we don't have to alone,I am thankful for family because the just the simple fact that I love them so much, I am thankful for in-laws because they are more than just that they were meant to be a part of your family all along, I am thankful for love in general and the power that it has, I am thankful for wonderful nieces and nephews that always bring such joy into my life, I am thankful for such a loving husband that can put up with my childish ways and love me for who I am, and helps me to be a better person, I am thankful for the Gospel and the truth and joy that it brings into each and everyone of our lives, I am thankful for Christ and the power and indivdual meaning of the atonement, one thing that I am really thankful is the thought and the truth that families can be forever and that those that are sad right now can be together with those they love someday, I know I could go on and on but I better stop because this is getting really long and like you all want to hear my big long.....thankful list. I just want you to all know that I love you so much and I thankful to be a part of this family! Love Lee
