ABC: Extreme Home Makeover

OK everyone. Anyone ever watched Extreme Home Makeover?
I love this show. Every Sunday evening I try to watch it between 3-4 other Football games, exactly, I don't get the remote...that goes to the boss (so he thinks ;o) )

It is awesome to watch and see that families lives are changed because they decide to make choices to better their lives, their families, their communities and the lives of others.

I guess I have been in a sappy world this past week. I watched Notebook and just lost it! I cried for a good 15 minutes after it finished because I thought of my mom because she will leave this earth life in that state and who knows if my dad will be able to handle that so he might just go right next to her. That will be fine because then I'll know that Heavenly Father loves everyone and didn't want my dad to suffer anymore than needs be (or the rest of us kids for that matter).

I also watched Finding Neverland too and about died watching that when at the end Peter says that life is "magical" because it truly is. It is as long as we make good choices and follow the commandments and do what needs to be done in this life; our life will truly be magical.

I just finished watching Extreme Home Makeover and wow, that was wonderful too because a family almost had to give up their home and their daycare because of Mold and the state wanted to close them down because it was so bad...so, what happens? ABC steps in and gives back and assists them so that they can continue to help others.

Big baby...I guess you can call me that, I don't care. I am in nursery too so that doesn't help. It has been exciting. We play, we learned about animals, trees and that Heavenly Father made them for us so that we could learn and be happy. We danced, we played, we sang songs, we had treats and hung out. Those little kids are so fun, all they want to do is have fun, play, love and be loved. We prayed for the treats and for the lesson.

One thing that won't happen again is that water will NOT be given while they are eating "fishes and crackers". That won't happen again. Duh, we know that kids put food where it shouldn't be and water spills everywhere, the other sister in there with Nathan and I did that and all we did was look at each other in disbelief. We couldn't believe what we were seeing...she has been in there for a while so you'd think that she'd NOT do that. Well, she won't do it again, our our class that is for sure. Any how, it was fun. It is actually awesome to see Nathan in nursery too because the little kids cling to him. Today there were about 5 little tikes hanging on Nathan and it was a crack up because they just wanted to play with him and nobody else.

We went to the temple on Saturday morning and it was BUSY. It always is though, so that is nothing new. It was lovely for me...I learned to forgive those who have chosen to hurt me and to let it go because they will be judged by the Savior and it is my job to love and forgive them.

I've gone to the gym 4 days this last week and just love it. I ran on the tread mill for the 2nd time and ran a 22 minute mile. I have never done that in my life so give me another month and I'll be down to a 15 minute mile...it will be awesome. Lets just say that it should be that good by Thanksgiving.

We voted already. We did it by mail so it was nice to get it all taken care of.

Nathan had another ward softball game last night too. It was fun to go and watch him play. He looks better to me every time I see him and the more I am married to him.

About work now, I was told this last week that I was talked about during the division manager meeting and that I was given a lot of praise for being #1 in the division for the past 5 months! I was humbled and didn't realize that anyone even cared other than my Nathan and my parents! Well, we'll see...I really enjoy what I do and that I work with teachers, administrators, counselors and the such nationally so I don't really want to leave it but I'm always looking for something new and ironically, it hasn't happened yet which in a way, that is a good thing. I am guaranteed a position and I have a job. If I leave and go to another company, who knows, they may lay off and the last to come in will be the first to go.

I need to get some ironing done for Nathan for this week so gotta go. Have a great week.
