Right now, it seems like NOTHING is going to work! My body is falling apart [I've been to the doctor's three times in a month as of tomorrow], my dryer will not dry AT ALL, my computer is being very funny [yes, my husband did mess with it, but he's good with them] and in funny, I mean no sound, no uploading pictures, no reading anything, and my dog is acting like she is a puppy again when she'll be 4 in September. And of course that's not everything as there are so many things to be fixed here in the house like outlets that aren't working or a sink that leaks.
I have always known, but I am learning more about needs vs. wants. I have a Blackberry Curve, I want an iPhone, but I only need a phone that will call and text. With the dryer going out and me not even liking it because it hasn't dried very well and it gets lint over EVERYTHING, that is where my money needs to go. I guess it's time to get rid of the fun phone to save money for what is needed.
Lucky me that I am going to Lufkin tomorrow as I will be heading there early to wash clothes and make changes with my phone.
Yes, I am blessed in many ways, and I know that. But really... I could use a break from all the rest of this!

New Year Resolutions
Making goals isn't always the easiest for me as things changed and happen and just get in the way. I write them down, and it doesn't do anything. I'm not really sure why that is. But only when it comes to goals about myself. I can handle goals with everyone else, but when it comes to me, very unlikely!
I found a piece of paper while going through things that I wrote down some resolutions.
I have done none of them! There are some that I still have time for, or they are for a later date that they can be completed. But there are some that I've already failed at. Kind of disappointing.
There are some like lose 5-10 pounds and get in shape, and then there are those that are more personal that few people even know about me at this moment. One day I'll be able to reach some of these... I hope! But I am currently hoping for many things...

Outdoors
I love being able to get out and walk! It's such a peaceful time, and good workout. Today I had the chance to go for a walk with one of my best friends, Kaitlin. We took Lexie out, and walked part of La Nana Creek Trail. YAY! :)
It's something I am going to try to do at least three times a week. It'll be good for Lexie and really good for me! Dancing and working out was always a great release for me from the stress of life. Since I don't dance anymore, working out is going to have to work! YAY!!

Summer Is Finally Here
I took my last final tonight after I got off work, and I'm so glad! I really need a break from school, and glad it is finally here! No, the semester was not the best of semesters, but it'll be okay. I know that things always work out in the end.
Yes it is summer time, but boo on not really getting to do much for summers anymore. I am working 40 hour weeks, and no real time to take vacation. There are a few reasons for that... money, PTO having to be used for Phi U Conclave and NCFR Conference (6 days each conference), and not really sure how everything else is going to work out. There are things to be done here at the house, and I'm excited about having time to just go to work and come home to focus on getting stuff together.
So although it's summer and I get a break from school, it won't really feel like a break... or I guess a summer, but oh well!
I am looking forward to spending a couple weekends/days in Dallas/Denton area with a couple AMAZING friends! We obviously have to figure things out, but I miss them and will need those girl nights out!!
Can't wait to have something exciting to talk about, but right now, my brain is just going too fast in so many directions! Have a fabulous summer everyone!

Baby Hungry
Yes, it's true! I have become baby hungry, but I warned Brandon of this when we first got married. However, we talked about this, and there's just no way to have a baby right now. Hello - could you see me with a baby and my schedule?! I don't think so.
Well, I had the chance to babysit two cute kids tonight, and I figured that would help with the craving of having my own. Well - it didn't. :-/ I got to take them to a t-ball game, and carry them inside after they both fell asleep in the car. I just loved it. I loved talking to them, and seeing them play. Even the dirty diaper and crazy hyperness had no effect on me. I have to find something to change these feelings!
It's not that having a baby is a bad thing; we just aren't ready!

Ouch
So I went to the doctor's today. I already had an appointment schedule as I was getting over a bladder infection, and it wasn't getting better (even with prescriptions!) Well, it got better, but I got sick, so I decided to keep the appointment.
I head to Lufkin at 7:30am for my 8am appointment. Once I am there, I talk with Phyllis (who has been there for ever!) about all that is going on. Dr. Spinks (an amazing doctor who has seen me since I was just a bean) comes in, and informs me that this mess is going around. It starts off like allergies, and then you get the cough. So I now have cough medicine (which from what he said, doesn't sound yummy) and some pills to take for 7 days. Oh goody! On top of it all, and why my title is "ouch" - I had to get a shot.
Okay, if you know me, you know I don't like shots. Not as bad as my husband, but I don't like them. I have never liked them. I remember having to get a shot in the butt while being held down by 4 people (including my mom) because I couldn't just sit there and I was hysterical! My brother went first, and even though it didn't bother him, he saw me just watching in fear and decided to cry. Yea - that got me even more in the changing area/corner.
Back to today... I had to get the shot in my hip. OUCH! They say it should help a lot, and will last for 6 days, but man oh man. That baby didn't feel good when it went in nor afterwards. But it's all better now!
I even took Lexie for a walk on La Nana Creek Trail, and I'm not feeling too bad. Her allergies started acting up too - so benedryl it was. :)
Side note: I got an A in HMS 459 - Marriages & Families! I'm super happy about it!! I've had Dr. Saracino for 4 semesters now, and just couldn't get that A. I would miss it by just a few points... literally like 4-7 points. My other class, we just won't talk about it. But 459 - YAY!! But I enjoy marriage & family topics!

Hear Him
Today while in Relief Society, I was hoping to get something out of it. It was my first day back to Church in quite some time, and I just needed something. I never really get a lot from testimony meetings, and Sunday School was good (with thoughts being provoked). However, it wasn't what I needed. Relief Society came, and I wasn't sure I would get anything out of it. Unfortunately, it seems that most first Sundays include the missionaries teaching. I was very skeptical about this, but it turned out better - thank you to our missionaries as I know it was their preparation!! It finally wasn't a message about how to find investigators and how to talk to them. (Oh how I am TIRED of those lessons!)
The missionaries were teaching about the restoration based off the lesson that they teach those investigating. It was hard for me to pay attention due to those behind me who were being slightly disrespectful. But that's a whole other story that just frustrates me!
So back to the lesson...
I'm not sure what Elder Metcalf was saying, but he then started to quote the First Vision. I have heard this many of times, know the story, and for the most part, know every word. It was when he quoted our Heavenly Father when He said, "This is my Beloved Son, hear Him." This is something I needed at the moment.
Too many times I listen to others or base things off what others do; however, it hit me clear as day. It was my "ah ha" moment. Heavenly Father told Joseph Smith to hear His Son not hear what others have to say. The gospel of Jesus Christ is not based off of what others do or say; it is based on what the Savior did and said. So just as Joseph Smith was told to "hear Him", I need to do the same thing.
Heavenly Father provided His Son for me, and I need to hear Him!
