What a busy day

So today we have been very busy. It started with Dj wanting to go see Caitlins last soccer game of the season so we did that. Afterwards we went and cleaned up the church since Dale once again forgot to call someone to come. After we were done we went and ran a few errands while trying to decide what we were going to do for family home evening since we forgot to do it on Monday. The kids decided they wanted to make it a family movie night so we picked several movies and kicked back and spent time as a family. It was nice not to have all the bickering and fighting that usually goes on here at night. I like nights like this. I only wish we had more of them.

A drive in the country

SO today was such a beautiful day despite all the rain we have had lately so I decided that we are going to go for a ride in the country as a family with no interruptions. SO we did. I started driving toward Adams and when we came to a stop or an intersection I asked which way and whatever the majority was that was where we went. We came across this old shack that looked like it must have been used as a store house at one point so we pulled over and took pics on the front porch. It was really cool. After we were done we went about our way just going here and there and ended up on Hwy 12 somehow. Who knew. Anyway just as we decided to go to the river walk to see what the river was like I got a flat tire. So I pulled up to the first street I came to and Dale and Dj got out and Dale taught him how to change a tire. It was really cool to see them bonding over something like that. After they were done we headed home cause I had a donut on my car and we couldn't get it fixed until the next day. So now we are home and just hanging as a family. I will try to post pictures later cause my computer wont let me right now for some reason.

Well that's all for now. Blog at you later

Spending time

Today started out a lazy day then I got a call from my friend Mindy asking if I wanted to play some tennis with her since it was a nice day. I said yes and we headed over to the park to play. We played for about an hour and a half then her baby was getting to tired so I watched her two oldest boys while they played then we headed over to Poncho Villa to get some lunch then over to Barksdale to watch Hunters play his baseball game. It was a good game. His team won 18-6. Now we are at home hanging around the house cause it looks like its about to pour outside. Anyway that's all for now. It doesn't seem like I did a lot today when I write it all out but it took up almost all day to do those things. Ha ha. Oh well.

Easter plans

We didn't do much of anything today. It was kinda a nice day so we sat at the park here at our house for a couple of hours and let the boys run off some of their energy from school. Then it started to rain so we headed home and stayed indoors until Sister Abren got here to pick up Andrew. The boys asked if Dj could spend the night and she said yes and invited us over to her house for an Easter dinner when she found out we were not doing anything. After they left Dale myself and Elyssa watched Smallville and ate dinner then watched a movie called " 1st furry Valentine" and now we are headed to bed.

Kinda Morbid

Ok so most people my age are not thinking about what they want done to them when they die but having just lost my step-dad a year ago this month it has come to my mind a lot. So I talked things over with my loving husband and we decided to check around at different cemetery's to find out prices for plots vs mausoleums. We found one place that we both really liked called Resthaven on Hwy 41-A by the church. So we went in on our way to clean the church with the boys to find out some prices. Its not as expensive as I thought it was going to be so we chose to both be put in the same Mausoleums crypt. Plus it saves on places that our loved ones have to go to visit us if they so choose to do so. Anyway the guy that helped us told us that he was really impressed with us because most people who come in to see him are either not young or if they are young they have already lost their loved one and are in a fit because they had no planning set up. We just said that after watching my mom go through what she had to do when my step-dad died unexpectedly we didn't want to have our love ones to have to deal with that. So lesson to everyone out there. Even if it sounds morbid and gives you the Hebe Jebe's to think about discuss this with your spouse and then do something about it. Cause you just never know when something is going to happen and then you are left in the dark trying to find your way out all alone. Anyway it only took us about half an hour and then we headed over to the church to make sure it was clean and set up for church on Sunday.

Dale also had his last test for the Clarksville Police Department in Nashville today. So we carpooled with another guy (Brett) and his wife ( Samantha) up there. Well they carpooled with us I should say. Anyway we got there and then the lady informed us that the test was going to be three hours long. So Samantha and I decided we were going to go and find the Cool Springs mall since neither of us have been there before but we ended up going in the complete opisite direction of the mall and got lost in Nashville. Ha ha but we had a great time driving around and getting to see all the pretty houses and getting to know eachother. We finally made it back to the area where the boys were taking their test and decided to go to SteinMart and window shop since Samantha had never been there before. It was nice just hanging out and looking at all the stuff. We got done with that just as the boys finished up their testing. So we went and got them then headed home. On the way we stopped at the DQ at Exit 35 I think and got something to eat. After it taking them about 45 mins to get my food to me they gave us free ice cream and we headed home. Oh he passed everything by the way. His swearing in will be on the 2nd of May. I will post pictures on a later blog. Now we are home and headed to bed.

Wednesday HodgePodge

1. What are your plans for Easter Day/weekend?
For the weekend not much but hanging with the family but for a change of pace we are going to a sister in our wards house for a Jamaican Easter. I am looking forward to that.

2. Besides Jesus, what one person from The Bible would you most like to meet and why?

Ummmmm thats a hard question because there are so many I would love to meet but I guess it being Easter and all I would have to say Mary (mother to Jesus) and find out just how she really felt about being a mother to such a wonderful man.

3. What is one modern day convenience you didn't have as a child that was easy to live without?

The cell phone all though I don't know what I would do without it now. It is my life line.

4. Are you more right brained or left brained? If you don't know what that means there is an

interesting little quiz here.

Im not sure I guess I will have to take the quiz and repost later. Turns out I am Right Brained.

5. What is something you intended to do today but didn't? Why?

I didn't intend to do anything today except hang out with my wonderful husband and beautiful daughter and then go to my best friends sons baseball game and I did all that.

6. Cadbury Creme Eggs or Reeses peanut butter?

Ummm yes I love both.

7. Who was your favorite cartoon character when you were a child?

That would be Tigger and he still is to this day. That was even my nick name in High School because I never sat still.

8. Insert your own random thought here.

Easter says you can put truth in a grave,

but it won't stay there.
