Here are the pictures I promised.


James enjoys the glory of free candy with his first lolli pop.


A pirate with his loot. Arrrrr!


Kelly is Safari woman.


Greg as the grim reaper.


James and me and I made my fairy tutu.


Adam's mom just had to try on my tutu. Doesn't she look great. I think it could work as a veil.

We went to a pumpkin patch.


Here bunny...bunny

I have a pumpkin on my head. He is just playing with his grandmom.


I have never seen a happier kid.


Pumpkin pie or pumpkin a la mode? Decisions.


Feel that breeze.



Isn't he the cutest. I loved watching him snack on the candy. He also had another lolli pop in his other hand that had the wrapper still on it. He thought his Tootsie pop unwrapped tasted better. I don't blame him.

Early Halloween

So today was the wards trunk or treat and James got all dolled up. He is so cute. We painted a mustach on him and it looks great. I was a fairy. I made my tutu which came out so cute. It is kinda fun to be something else every now and again. There were a couple of investigators there. A few days ago we went to a pumpkin patch were we took some cool shots of James. He is so photo genic. Oh today I took my test to become a paraprofessional. I think I will be able to gain some teaching experience by either becoming a parapro or by being a sub. Hopefully, by Monday or Tuesday I will have a job. I hope!!! If not there is this sister in the ward who is willing to help me work on this quilt that I am working on. I have a lot of projects I am working on. Many projects that are half way done. Let me think what else is new....Oh yeah, Adam and I are offically Georgia residence. We got our drivers license yesterday. I got my voter card today in the mail. I am really glad I get to vote here in Georgia. I know McCain needs my vote here. For some reason the computer won't let me load pictures. When I can load pictures I will. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Let's play ball

James has learned to throw a ball. It is so cute to play catch with him. He is such a charmer. He loves everyone here especially his grandpop. He will do anything to be held by him. I know if my dad was here James would want to be held by him too.

Wicked

So I went to Wicked the Musical the other night. It was so exciting. I love the theater for one and I enjoyed the atmosphere. It was an amazing play. The music is so wonderful. I thought the character of Glenda was so funny. You hate her yet you love her. The ending was such a shock and even those who had read the book didn't expect it. It was nice to be able to do something like that. Dave, Adam's dad gave me his ticket so us girls had a night out. It was so nice to have that to look forward to.

My family (my parents)

It's good to know that I am loved. I know I have a great family who, even though I am miles away, thinks of me often and includes me in their daily lives. I miss them so much. I think that is why I love technology so much. I am able to receive phone calls, read blogs, get text, emails, and picture texts at anytime of the day. I love technology. It helps my family be near me especially when I need them to be. I miss my daddy, yes I still call him that. I think I always will. He has been my strength many times because he taught me to be tough and resourceful. I will never be able to repay him for all he has done for me. The older I get the more I love him for all the things he has taught me. One, if not the greatest thing he taught me was who God is and to rely on Him and no one else. My daddy taught me to pray, read the scriptures, and follow the commandments of God. I have always tried to do that and when I have failed I get on my knees and ask to be forgiven and I also ask for help to overcome my weaknesses. We are all weak without him. If we do our duty He will always do His. He wants to bless us with mountains of gifts many of them in forms that are not glorious to the world, but to the receiver it is everything. I have been that receiver many times and I will continue to be that person, not because I boast about it, but because like a loving Father, that he is, He wants best for his children. I am his daughter of divine worth and every single person on this earth is of a noble birth right. We are heirs to all the glory and beauty that our Elder Brother Jesus Christ is because of what he has done for us. I am greatful to know I am loved by my God and that he loved me enough to give up his child for the whole world. I rejoice in my Savior and in the Plan my Father in Heaven set for me. I know families are eternal under the sealing power which is placed upon those who make and keep sacred covenants. i pray one day I will enter a Holy Temple with my family. It is at that moment my loved ones will know true everlasting joy, at least where it began.

No job, yet

Job Hunting is a pain. Hopefully no I know soon we will have a job. It's just frustrating trying to get hired and being hired by someone. I am being a job snob. I think a degree allows me to be that. I am starting to think of getting a job anywhere. Keep us in your prayers.

We are here

So we are here safe in Georgia. We got unloaded yesterday before General Conference started. We have no unpacked too much because I think we are still unwinding. It is kind of weird that we are living here and no just visiting. It felt like we had not left from Christmas except the Christmas tree and decorations are gone (the last time we were here was during Christmas vacation). I think we are going to be ok. Tomorrow we are going to look for jobs. I think we are going to see if the local schools are still hiring because on the schools website they are looking for ESOL and Spanish teachers. We are to call the school district and see what we have to do to get jobs. Oh, I have some great news well at least for me it's great. So the family is going to see Wicked the musical and Daddy Dave (Adam's dad) is giving me his ticket so we can have a ladies night out. I get to see Wicked, my wildest dreams have come true!!!!! I will have to inform you how it goes.
