My way to think

I think that I have already blogged about how I need list to remember things

and that I usually make one a day.

Well, I haven't made one in about a week now and I think that that is why

I leave a room to do something and then I can't remember what I was

leaving the comfort of my room for.

Well I just made one and I think that it is the longest one I have ever made!

I think that it is time to invest in some paper for these list because my arm is only so long!

My Week

One family,

One parent gone the other two weeks away from her due date,

5 kids who all want some of that one parent.....

'Donn don, don don don donn don,

don don don donn don, don don don don!'

Chy the wonder babysitter is on the way!

Yes for the family members that live in my home who I now need to show my

picture to so that they remember what I look like, you can now keep me....

for a few days.

I have been at the Wrights house every day for the last 4 days and it is possible that I might

be back there next week.

Their oldest daughter Anna said that now I am like their sister!

Did you smile because I did when so said it.

Did I mention that after watching the Wright kids today I went right over to the Mangum's

house to watch their kids for two hours....

To answer your question ladies and gentlemen, yes I will have super hero -in training-cards printed.

The less you have...

The more you appreciate!

After being on a four day trek with no showers or clean toilets you really do learn to appreciate the little things that are so second nature to us in this day and age.

Ok, so one of the days on the trek we were aloud to wash our hair with old fashion soap but you know that it just isn't the same.

Even though we were all very happy to get back to or showers and our every day lives most of us really didn't want the trek to end.

If I hadn't been in the family that I was set with I know that I wouldn't have known all of the awesome people that I got to know. I know that at first everyone wasn't very sure of the family that they ended up with because I know that most of the teens didn't know each other, but when at the end all of the brothers and sisters in my family got up and bore their testimony everyone in our family said that they didn't want to go home because they really felt like we were all family and that they knew once we left that that feeling would not be the same.

It was so amazing that when we all got up to share our testimony of the church that the spirit was so strong that even the strongest guys in our family started crying with all of the overwhelming emotions of the trek and what that meant to all of us individually.

The handcarts at times were hard for us to push and we all got many bruises and pains but we all as a family would sing one hymn over and over and we would feel like the the cart was lighter at times, and this hymn I've been singing for as long as I know and it has never meant so much to me in the past.

' I Need Thee Every Hour'

This is going to be a song that will always remind me of the trek and the spiritual experience that it brought to us all.

Right after the trek our bishop came up to me and gave me a hug and with out him even saying the word I knew what he was going to say....

Yes I talked in sacrament meeting about it and I know that I did it credit when I looked back and saw the man that asked me to talk crying.

I haven't even told the smallest bit of it in this entry but I'll tell you this...

I would do it over a thousand times again if I could.

Immortal

For the last few days I was up in flagstaff......

Ok you got me, I've been home for a few days but haven't gotten on the Internet because I know how much mail I would have when I did finally get on.

But now I am here and am ready to blog.

At first the title on this won't make sense, but if you keep reading then it'll unfold for you.

In my life I have been told-literally-that nothing seems to effect me emotionally because I am so mature and strong that it just seems to bounce off. This is not true just for you to know.

And in some way I think that we all think this way about some one in our lives, I know now that I do.

When I was in flagstaff I went for a day to see my Grandparents from Tennessee. I have always been a Grandpa's girl for as long as I could remember, but I never thought that my Grandpa,

the strong and quite person that I have known forever could cry.

As he was talking about my Great Grandmother-his Mother- and how she is loosing her short term memory, Aunt Polly with her disabilities, and his brother, who he watched die right in front of him in a hospital bed not to long a go his eyes began to fill with tears. And I knew that he is as human as I am as I watched him fight to keep the tears from coming out for me to see.

Just as I was saying.... We all think of some one in our lives to be 'immortal' when they are the same as us just wanting to be strong for every one around them.

That is my Grandpa.... Strong,Patient,Quite and always loving.

He is my immortal and always will be.

Those of you who have read the His Dark Materials series then this will be a lot of fun. Those who haven't yet, then get a move on it! I have been reading these books for as long as I can remember and when I found out that they are making a movie out of the first book and who the actors are... All I have to say is that they better do this book justice!
But any way, I found the site that they made for the movie and there is a bit where you can see what kind of an animal would be your Daemon if we were in their world.
I think that is the best part of the site!
Here is my Daemon... A Gibbon Named Olin.
The site also gives you a list of the qualities that you show in the questionnaire....
could you guess that they are Responsible,Modest,Dependable,Proud and a born Leader?!!? Well, I laughed!

Question

Is it just my computer,or does the disappearing act happen on every one who reads my blog?

It is when you first enter the site.......

The title and the first couple of sentences, they aren't there!!!

Unless you scroll down then they just look at you like they were playing a game on you.....

Tell me if it is just this computer or if it is a problem for ever one.

Thanks!
