Where do I go from here?

Have you ever asked yourself that? People try to help, but even you don't know what to do.

Pray for Sadie

I was watching the news a couple nights ago and saw a story on a little girl by the name of Sadie Huish. Sadie, a 5 year old little girl has a tumor on her brain stem and operation is not an option. Hearing this story brought me to tears. This family has remarkable courage! Sadie is such a strong girl. I could go on and on...but I don't want to get any facts wrong... so go and visit her blogspot at http://sadiehuish.blogspot.com/ PRAY FOR SADIE

R to the L to the S

RLS...known as Restless Legs Syndrome. Holy. Crap. Have you ever thought you were going to go insane? Well, then you've never had Restless Leg Syndrome!!! At night, I know when it's time for bed because when I'm up with my mom watching TV and my knees or ankles feel like I absolutely cannot hold them still any longer and i'm stretching and nothing for the life of me will work. The worst is when you're driving in the car and it happens in your ankles... there isn't much room to move, you feel like you're suffocating, you take your shoes off but that doesn't help... The best thing in the world is getting out of the car and walking around! OK, OK, so I'm a little weird!

So while I'm on this little rant.. I'm going to continue on :) I've had heartburn before and for those of you who don't get it, I'll put you in that lucky category. Well, since I've been pregnant it's been off and on... but when it's on, it's ON and it's a burn you have to fight with an extinguisher. It seems as thought I wouldn't get it for awhile then I would be thinking, 'I have been lucky, I haven't gotten heartburn for awhile!'.... Then low and behold, a couple days later I would get it. I'm in my third trimester and of course getting bigger and bigger week by week. WOW. Where's the extinguisher when you need one. Can anyone say TUMS??? I absofreakinlutely LOVE them and take them everywhere with me...ooohh I should be a spokesperson! ;) hee hee

Easter Sunday

Easter Sunday was a great day! My whole family was here! Jana Rae and Steve came from Ohio with their 5 kids and Kris and Bill came from Idaho with their 4 four kids...along with everyone that lives here. ---All in all, there was a total of 23 grandkids and 16 adults! That was the first time we have all been together in years!!! We took a family picture (just in our backyard) that i'll post once my sister emails them to me. :)

The talks are always great in Sacrament meeting, but there is always a sweet Spirit you feel on Easter and Christmas. The talks yesterday seemed to fill the room and inspire everyone. Between the talks, a lady got up and performed a piano solo that, to me was the highlight of sacrament meeting. She played I Know That My Redeemer Lives. That is one of my many favorite hymns and she played it beautifully! You couldn't help but have tears flowing... you didn't want her to stop...What is a long song, you wish could be longer!!

I have it back..and always had it!

Well, I went through my settings, my layout, reading through practically everything trying to figure out where my COLOR went for my posts. (If that makes any sense at all) I thought maybe I saved something wrong, maybe I clicked a button that took it away... I was so sad because I just wanted my COLOR back. I finally decided to come and blog to see if anyone could help me find it, when I clicked on 'Posting' then 'Create'. I saw the tab 'Compose'... come to find out, I was in 'Edit Html' this whole time. It's funny how the littlest things can make you so happy! haha I now have color back.. I always had, I was just in the wrong place.

Anyway, this weekend is Easter weekend, not only a time we get together with family but a time we celebrate Christ our Savior's death. How greatful I am for all that He did for each and everyone one of us. I do not know what I would do without the knowledge of Him in my life. I have His strength with me each day, I know I can call upon Him when I am struggling and I know that He loves me and loves everyone and died for all of us so that we can return to Him and our Father in Heaven.

He's coming back

I received this in an email from my sister. I enjoyed it and thought I would share it.....

Why did Jesus fold the napkin? Why did Jesus fold the linen burial cloth after His resurrection? The Gospel of John (20:7) tells us that the napkin, which was placed over the face of Jesus, was not just thrown aside like the grave clothes. The Bible takes an entire verse to tell us that the napkin was neatly folded and was placed at the head of that stony coffin. Early Sunday morning, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and found that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance. She ran and found Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved. She said, 'They have taken the Lord's body out of the tomb, and I don't know where they have put him!' Peter and the other disciple ran to the tomb to see. The other disciple out ran Peter and got there first. He stooped and looked in and saw the linen cloth lying there, but he didn't go in. Then Simon Peter arrived and went inside. He also noticed the linen wrappings lying there, while the cloth that had covered Jesus' head was folded up and lying to the side. Is that important? Absolutely! Is it really significant? Yes! In order to understand the significance of the folded napkin, you have to understand a little bit about Hebrew tradition of that day. The folded napkin had to do with the Master and Servant, and every Jewish boy knew this tradition. When the servant set the dinner table for the master, he made sure that it was exactly the way the master wanted it. The table was furnished perfectly, and then the servant would wait, just out of sight, until the master had finished eating, and the servant would not dare touch that table until the master was finished. Now if the master was done eating, he would rise from the table, wipe his fingers and mouth with that napkin and toss it on to the table. The servant would then know to clear the table. For in those days, the wadded napkin meant, 'I'm done.' But if the master got up from the table, and folded his napkin, and laid it beside his plate, the servant knew that the folded napkin meant, 'I'm not finished yet.' The folded napkin meant, 'I'm coming back!'

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Precious!

Here is a picture of Madelyn! Such a cutie and so much hair!

Madelyn Mae Virchow

My mom came into my room this morning at 2:30 a.m. telling me she was headed over to my brothers house because my sister-in-law's water had just broke. Well, this morning around 10:30 a.m. Carolyn had their precious little girl (after 3 boys), Madelyn Mae Virchow. She weighed 7 lbs 13 oz... my mom was in too much of a hurry to tell me how long she was ;) But Im very excited for them--especially for Carolyn, as she did look like she was going to pop at any moment!!! I can't wait to go see my new niece :)
