Babysitting, babysitting, and more babysitting!

Christmas week. My mom has a million presents she needs to wrap. You do the math. She said we all have about 10 presents for each of us kids and 8 kids. 80 presents is crazy. So while I recover from getting my wisdom teeth out I am babysitting. I wish I could have went to work but I think I would have scared the kids. I looked like a chipmunk (it is odd both sides were swollen but I only got one side out for the study.) I think I would have scared those kids. I am really ready to go back though. I really do love my job. Back to my wisdom teeth, I felt like somebody threw a softball really hard at my face so it was sore. But I wasn't in like a lot of pain. Just ache, which sucked too. I couldn't send my missionary a letter and I felt really bad. I was not able to because last Saturday we dipped chocolates and it is so good. Even though I can't eat any chocolate until tomorrow at the very earliest. But I did send Brody a tape recorder and of course a tape filled with just me talking. I sure hope he liked it. Brody asked for me so that is what he got. I am so grateful for him. I hope his phone call will be good for his family. I hope I can hear from him soon with a tape. I don't know if I am invited to hear him at his family's house. I understand if I'm not because it is his family time. I will have plenty of time to talk to him when he is off of his mission in 18 months. I am so happy I can now say 18 months. It makes me so happy that he is doing so well. I can't wait to see him and hear from him.

Today I am going in to get my wisdom teeth out. I am doing an experimental drug they are testing for pain relief and sleep after a person will get the wisdom teeth out. I sure hope I get the medicine. I have a 50% chance of getting the medicine or a placebo which is NOTHING!!!!!! I have like zero pain tolerance and I am really nervous. But they are paying me $250 so I can save up while Brody is on his mission.
That reminds me.... Brody had his first baptism a couple of weeks ago. I am so proud of him. He really is a great guy. For Christmas I got Brody a tape recorder because he said he wanted me.. I can't really go to him but my voice sure can. I am really excited to get his letter this week. But I won't be able to get his email today. I will be at the clinic about to get my wisdom teeth out. I will just have to wait until tomorrow. I hope he is doing good. I really do love him so much. I am so happy he has been out for 6 months. Only 18 more to go. :D   

The "Britney" moment

Today I woke up extra early to do more studying and homework done at school. Now here is when I pulled a Britney moment. I forgot my ID in my purse which is in my dad's car. How smart is that. Now my dad is at work with my ID. I can't go to school now. I am wide awake so I can't get back to sleep. There is something for who ever reads my blogs. ha...ha...

Bitter sweet day

Today one of my neighbors got baptized and confirmed a member of the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints. It was amazing. I have never been to a baptism that the spirit was in there so strong. I didn't get a letter this week from Brody. I sure hope I get one next week. This is the first week he hasn't sent me one. I guess he was too busy. I am still proud of Brody and I can't wait until I get to talk to him again. I am going to Brody's brother's play tonight with Brysen and his friend. I am really excited to see it. Any ways, I sure hope I get a letter next week. I don't know if I can function with out Brody for another week.

Saturday

Sorry about the freak out a couple of posts ago. I needed to let it all out and the blog was the only thing that came to mind. So I apologize. I am usually not like that. complain. but sometimes I do freak out. It will happen again so just warning you...
Anyways... Brody is doing amazing in Cullman. I am so happy he is there for Thanksgiving. I am hoping he will be there for Christmas too. But it is ok if he doesn't. The lord has it all taken care of. In Brody's words "All we have to do is trust in the Lord." That was one of the last texts he sent me before he left on his mission. Such amazing words out of such an amazing man.
In fact, Brody has a baptism this Saturday. I am so happy for him. It is kind of cool because I have some neighbors getting baptized the same day. I am so grateful for the gospel. I got a new phone now I can post some pictures of Brody and I. So here is one. :)  

Night

For my English class, we are reading "Night" by Elie Wiesel. I can't believe this book. It is the most gruesome book I have ever read. It is about the Holocaust and a young boy and his father. This book makes me so grateful for American and free of religion. I can't believe people can have that much hate towards people. So I have to do a book report on this book. I have to have a topic about this book. I chose to do defeat and power as my two topics. I felt like they went very well with each other.
     I am teaching my sister, Addysen, kindergarten this year and I just taught her to read sentences. She is really loving to read and I love teaching her. I can't wait to teach other children and get my degree.

Facebook

Today I deleted my facebook account. I found out my abusive ex boyfriend was looking me up everyday and my stalker was too. So I got rid of facebook.... that is the only way for me to reconnect with my friends but I don't ever want to go back on again. I just can't believe it. These two men are still ruining my life and I can't stop it. But I refuse to get hurt again. I am so happy with my missionary and that is all I care about. I just miss him a lot. I wish he was here so badly. I cry myself to sleep every night because I miss him so... I just can't wait for him to come back.
