The walls are going up!

Wall 1 went up today! It's so awesome to actually see progress! Brian had 3 sections up when we got home from school. B and I helped him put the last one up. I was so afraid it was going to fall on me! Check back here for further updates.

First Day of School

August 19 was Brian's first day of school and August 20 was Jaydan's first day. I took Jaydan to school her first day and neither one of us shed any tears. She is enjoying school and doing good! Today, August 22 was her first day on a school bus. She rode the bus from her school to my school. She did really good! Another teacher has a daughter in 3rd grade that rides the same bus, so they walked off the bus together holding hands. She is growing up so fast!

Post-it Memories

I saw this on my friend's blog and enjoyed posting a comment on hers so I hope you all will do the same for me. Here's what you do:
1. Add a comment to this post on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn’t matter if you knew me a little or a lot…anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It’s actually pretty cool (and funny) to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I’ll assume you’re playing the game and I’ll come to your blog and leave one about you.
3. Go!!!

Blessings!

I am grateful for the priesthood that Brian holds and honors. I have been sick a lot this summer and have lost 10 pounds in 2 months. I was prescribed birth control pills and then diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Last Sunday Brian gave me a blessing and I have felt great this week! It's my own little miracle. Another doctor has told me that I need a hysterectomy and bladder repair (which should take care of the problems). It should be a relatively easy surgery with only one night in the hospital. What a blessing it is to feel good and have the energy to do things.

Today I spoke with my sister, Brenda. She had major surgery on her foot on June 2. She was in a wheelchair for quite a while. Then she had to use a walker. She was so excited when she called me today because she was actually standing up ironing! We both laughed because who would have ever thought we would be excited about being able to iron. Just another one of those things we take for granted. What a blessing it is for her to be able to stand and do things around her house!
