80's Rock!

As if I didn't already know I'm a total 80's girl!! I even got Bon Jovi tickets for Christmas!
You Belong in 1985

Wild, over the top, and just a little bit cheesy. You're colorful at night - and successful during the day.

I'm back!?!

Well, I've been taking a break from all of the extra stuff, including the computer, while I get my life and kitchen back in order! Boy, I didn't realize how stressed I was until our kitchen was finished. It was like the clouds parted and I finally saw the light and I didn't even know I was in the dark!!! I wanted to wait until I have pictures to post, but I didn't want to take pictures until the kitchen was clean and organized. You know how this story ends....I still can't find any of my sauce pans and I need to have the glass put in some of my cupboard doors....but I vow to post pictures as soon as I get the glass in, next week hopefully if this yucky weather lets up.

We had a great Christmas with mom, dad, Joe and Kate. They asked what they could bring to help out and I just told them to bring some Christmas spirit, which they did!! Steve actually just finished putting our house back in order (excluding any dishes or food in the cupboards) as I picked up my mom and dad from the airport. It felt so good to walk in the house with my mom and dad and have a clean living room and no shelves of food in the dining room. Sydney had found and set out our Christmas Tree skirt and arranged the presents. She is so sweet. Once everyone arrived it felt great to just relax and get into the holiday spirit!

Now, 6 weeks later we're finally settling into the kitchen and I'm starting to put things where I want them. (just as a side note, we did have to take everything back out after the holidays so they could sand and put the final coat on our floors, so we have only really been back in since the 14th - i'm not as slow as it seems!)

In other news, I was just released as Primary President in our ward. I will really miss being in primary. We have such great kids in our ward. I have learned and been inspired so much by them. Now it is someone else's turn to have that opportunity. My new calling is teaching gospel doctrine to the adults. I am very nervous about that. I have taught adults before as a teacher doing inservices in my school district, but not at church where so many know more than I do!! I'm also excited, because I really think I need this kick in the pants to personally learn more about the gospel.

Hopefully, I can post some pictures next time, but don't hold me to it!! Remember, I'm the one who celebrated getting her Christmas cards out before Valentine's Day!
