Jonathan

Elder Eller sent some pictures home this week, he really looks happy. It's really awesome to see how he's grown, and how his testimony has grown. Hopefully it sticks when he comes home ;) He's an amazing missionary and is touching lives everyday!!!

Our beloved Gordon B. Hinckley 1910-2008

I have such mixed feelings about the loss of our prophet. I am sure he and his wife are rejoicing to be together and in the presence of such great leaders and prophets, but I will miss his smile, humor, spirituality and insight. He was an amazing man and we will miss him immensely!!

Gestational Diabetes

I just found out that I have Gestational Diabetes......ugh!! I sure feel better when I eat the right things, but it is a bummer eating so much protein. I miss sugar, flour and carbs!!! A big bowl of pasta sounds so amazing!!! It should go away when Alexa comes, but I feel like I'm on a worse diet than Weight Watchers. That was easy compared to this. I really feel for all the diabetics in the world, its a hard thing to deal with!

Getting Alexa's room ready!

It's almost done!! I've painted the bookshelf and the changing table. All we need now is the dresser!! I can't wait for it to be done and ready!!!!

The Local Bum!!!!

Alex was asked by our YM/YW group to participate in their Wednesday activity. It was like the greatest race, but the real test was to see how many people they could help along the way. Alex was the local "bum" and he was watching to see if the youth would be nice to him. He ended up collecting $8 (of course he gave it back to them). At the end of the night everyone gathered together and they revealed the true message of the night and introduced all their helpers. No one could believe it was Alex. He's a great actor!
