Tonight I heard President Thomas S. Monson tell a story about a lady who had been feeling like God didn't care about her, barely ate anything due to depression, and said that the only thing that sounded good was a loaf of homemade bread. Then, this other lady felt a prompting to make an extra loaf of bread and take it to this lady that she barely ( Read more... )

I was just thinking about this family that I knew back in B'ham when they still had the B'ham 3rd ward. I was reading the Book of Mormon, and one of the passages reminded me of the Mom. She was a single mom with 4 kids. The youngest little boy was named Evan, and he was in my nursery class. He was adorable. The mom was white, and her children ( Read more... )

My mind has been on my home state all day. It feels different when a natural disaster comes and hits places you know and grew up with. I mean, hearing about the tragedies in Japan broke my heart, but hearing about places like Tuscaloosa, Birmingham, Cullman, Phil Campbell... all these places I lived in or near? It's kinda hard. I've cried some ( Read more... )

I don't remember why I started thinking about this, but I was thinking back to when I first moved to B'ham, and I was so desperate to find friends. I remember chasing wulfbyu across a parking lot b/c he had a BYU shirt on. haha I must've seemed like a freak! It worked, though! I found a friend, and he helped me find other ones. Thanks, Bill, for ( Read more... )

I am sooo tired. The last couple of nights Lauren has woken up multiple times crying. No, not crying. Screaming. Monday night, I couldn't figure out what was wrong. I eventually gave up and gave her a bottle. She fell asleep immediately afterwards. *sigh* Then last night, she didn't feel good b/c she had her shots yesterday. I don't ( Read more... )

I guess since all I'm doing is taking quizzes on facebook (I'm Severus Snape, by the way.), I could update on here, instead. I've thought about updating a lot, but it's usually when I'm unable to do so... and by the time I actually can, those thoughts are long gone ( Read more... )

I'm hungry. This losing weight stuff is harder than I remember... I've been at the same weight for 3 weeks now. I'm too WEAK! Sweets taste so goooood... I did buy me some fat free pudding. That stuff is awesome. And I can eat it without the guilt. This morning i had a yogurt and a banana for breakfast... I started getting hungry at 10:00am ( Read more... )

Well, it's sort of high speed. We got the wireless card thingy from Alltel and once they finish merging with Verizon, we'll have super high speed. Right now, it's just twice as fast as dial-up, which is still pretty awesome to me. We were going to get Verizon, but they charged you for the card thingy (like my terminology?) and you only get 5GB a ( Read more... )

I got a complaint from keepupwithjones that I haven't posted in awhile wondering what the heck I could be doing that is so much more important than Livejournal. I gotta tell ya, there's not a whole lot more important to me than the internets, but I have to take care of my chi-rens ( Read more... )
