YEA!!! A New Ward...

Last night Brad and Aly were over for FHE and they helped me unpack more boxes and tidy up a bit more. Right after we finished straightening the kitchen, living room and dining room, there was a knock on the front door. Brad answered for me and was of course assumed to be Gordon at first. It was the EQP from the Lake Cities 1st ward and another member of the ward that wanted to come by and welcome us to the ward.

YEA!!! It was so wonderful to be welcomed to the ward, even though Gordon had to miss it because of work.

After attending a ward these last couple months were we never felt like we belonged and often times couldn't even sit in the chapel, it is nice to have someone welcome us before we even attend on Sunday.

Barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen...

For years this has been the joke of a woman's place. I got to thinking how funny it really is. In less than a week, I have spent time in 5 different kitchens and only one was I not in barefoot. Tomorrow will add number 6 to the list as my mom and I will pick up the keys to our new apartment and start cleaning.

Thank you Wil, Brian and Paul for the joke. It would always make me laugh or get me riled. You have to love family :)

What do you mean I can't eat cheese?

This week I was going I started to have the first thoughts of why am I pregnant. A friend of mine decided to tell me that I cannot eat ANY soft cheese because of Listeria. I was shocked. I have a wonderful mom and so many friends and family that have gone through pregnancy, why wouldn't anyone tell me this in the beginning?

My boss and I looked it up and I called to Dr. to confirm all we read. I felt so relieved. I can eat as much cheese as I want...as long as it is pasteurized :) So bring on the feta for my salads and babybel because it is the best and everything else so tasty.

Bad Day To Be A Baby Bird

So things have been crazy for me with school and being sick. I am on amoxicillin and some type of cough medicine I can take only at night.

I have my ceramic crit tomorrow and I am loaded the kiln last night. everything looked great going in, but I don't know what it will look like coming out. I am a little nervous. I want everything to look really good. Because I loaded last night I was up at the studio late.

When I walked out of the studio, there was a horrible site....a tiny dead baby bird that was probably just a couple days old. I felt so bad for it. I talked with two of my classmates that were still working and that decided that either the bird was sick and would starve to death so this way it didn't suffer as much or it was sick and would make all the other little babies sick and they would have all died, so this way, only one had to die. I kept thinking about that poor baby bird though. I have decided that for my mind the baby bird was so perfect that all it needed was a body.
