I was told by Nancy I needed to update my blog.. So I made a much needed background change! :) Nothing new has gone on, just work. It is end of the quarter push, so that means... MANDATORY OVERTIME! I will be going in to work tomorrow and not sure exactly how long I will be working, I told by boss at least a minimum of 3 hours. So, we'll see how that works out for me :) Glad next week is only a 4 day week.
There is my update for you Nancy! :)

Happy Birthday, Grandpa
Today is Grandpa Rue's birthday. He would have been 79. It is the "first" birthday since he has passed. Every year since I have been on my own I have called him to tell him Happy Birthday. I would wait for him to pick up that phone and hear him say "Oh my stars!" and then when I would tell him Happy Birthday, he would say "how did you know it was my birthday" even though it seems we all knew it was his birthday. It was always around Stake Conference and we always tried to have a family BBQ on the deck. I have thought of Grandpa all day today. Mom and Julie even said on grandpas blog that he would always remind everyone that it was around the first day of spring and growing up, that meant he could take off his undershirt. Well, it didn't feel like spring today. It has been snowing! I hope Grandpa has been enjoying his birthday today. I've been thinking of him all day! I love you grandpa! Always and forever!

Crafts-GNO
I HAVE FOUND MY NEW HOBBY!!!
When I got my first vinyl to do for my birthday from Nancy, I thought I wasn't sure if I would like it (it was a craft). But I did it and I LOVED it!
Nancy and Tammy invited me down to Nancy's house for my birthday and we had a little party there with the kids and I did my vinyl and the kids carved pumpkins and Lexi even did her own vinyl.
I did 2 vinyl's for 2 of my friends for work. They really liked the craft I did for my birthday so I thought I would do a craft for them for Christmas. Since Christmas was so hectic with Grandpa's funeral and everything, I BARELY got them done in time before we had a few days off for Christmas. Don't worry other people from work, yours will be coming! :) The crafts are so relaxing to me and just a fun time to sit around with friends and talk and have a good time.
On New Years Eve, Nancy and I went to the craft store and got a vinyl that I did that I want to put in the bathroom. My bathroom is a light blue and I really like the saying. It's hard to read in this picture but it says "Someday my prince will come"
I got this vinyl as my christmas present from Nancy, Dallas and Tyler. So while we were crafting the others, I did this one. I LOVE how it turned out!
At that same trip, we also got crafts for Valentines Day. You can buy crafts for every holiday. I picked the vinyl letters of KISSES and placed them on the wood blocks and then glittered them. I had them on my fireplace in my house. Kayden and Koy LOVED to play with them. They called them "castles" and the colors had to stay together.
Last week at work, I was talking to some friends and we decided to do a craft yesterday. I met Crystal at the craft store called The Wood Connection. We did crafts last night at my house. I don't have a table so I bought a shower curtain and laid it on the floor. It worked perfect. No paint got on the carpet! Since my boss LOVES St Patricks Day, I thought I would be nice and also do a craft for her. Me, Crystal and Jill did our craft, and also did a craft for our boss Lynne. Me, Jill and Lynne did LUCK I added 3 shamrocks with mine.
Crystal wanted to do HOME with interchangeable "O" for every month. But they didn't have the M so right now, it just says HOE. :)
We will be doing crafts once a month now and just switch houses. It takes just about an hour to do the craft, so not long and you have something to show. So if you are interested in coming, just let me know. Next month we are doing it at Jill's house and we will be doing SPRING/EASTER!! May I think we are doing it at Crystal's.
I also spoke to Nancy's friend Stephanie Ellis Taylor. She makes the vinyl's. I told her I can't find vinyl saying that I like. She said to contact her and she will make them. So if you are interested in doing vinyl's instead of the block words, I can let her know the saying and she can send up the vinyl for you. This is such a fun hobby and something I am proud to say "I did that!"

New point of view
Well, last week was not fun at all. I had pink eye, sinus infection, broken tooth.. it was not fun!
Saturday had lunch with the Ware girls at Macaroni Grill in Provo. That is always fun. We had a good meal and good company. We sat there for a few hours and talked and laughed. Next time, I will NOT allow the dessert to be passed by me and the bread to be pulled away from me.. I'm not going to point any names BUT, it won't happen again (mom and Chelsie). :) And just want to say thanks for laughing and enjoying the entire thing Julie.
Saturday after the Girls lunch, we went to Cabellas with the kids. It was a lot of fun. The kids really enjoyed it. Tyler saw the Warthog and oinked like a pig. Kayden and Koy saw the wolf and said that he looked like Jacob from Twilight. When I dropped the Gale kids back home, Kayden told Josh that Jacobellas was so much fun. I laughed and said it's called Cabellas, he said oh, Jacob Cabellas is fun. Once he saw the wolf, he was no longer just Cabellas.
Before we left for lunch, the kids were all playing in Nancy's house with a balloon. Tyler was laughing and clapping when he would hit that balloon. The kids are so good with him. Lexi would then hold him up so he could get the balloon and not have to work so hard and turn around and miss it. Lexi would then get tired, so I decided to stand up and help out. I would hold Tyler so he could get the balloon. I would lift his legs up so he could kick it. He thought that was fun, he was laughing so hard. I heard Kayden and Koy in the back saying how THEY wish they were like Tyler and THEY could be lifted up and kick the balloon. It really made me think. Tyler can't do things that other kids can. So we have to help him out. He may/may not know that he can't. The other kids do know however that Tyler can't do things the way that we do things. When they saw Tyler getting help (not that I was favoring him, I was just helping him) Kayden and Koy said that they wish they could do that. They didn't wish they had his "problem" they just saw how much fun he was having and how he was laughing. It makes me love those kids so much when they love each other so much to help each other out the way they were. Tyler got bumped and fell down, Koy was right there to pick him up. Tyler is bigger then Koy, Koy didn't care he knew that we help Tyler. It was the cutest thing!
I am so glad that that cold has passed me. It was miserable and it hit hard and fast. This week, I've had kind of a sore throat. Not sure if it is a sore throat or my ears hurting. It is ok in the morning but by evening it really starts to hurt. Today I was tired of it so I called my family doctor and got an appointment and went in. He is a GREAT doctor, he was the one who diagnosed the gallbladder. I would recommend anyone to him in SL Valley. He looked in my throat and everything was fine. Looked in my ears, there is fluid in them and some pressure. More on the right side than the left. Last year I was diagnosed with TMJ (aka Lock Jaw). It hurts like HECK! I have tried some of the treatment that the dr and the ENT said to try, the next thing they said is surgery. Most insurances don't cover it, they say it is cosmetic. I called my insurance to see what they say, sure enough, it is an exclusion and they won't cover it. So right now, I get it about every 3-5 months and live with the pain for about 2 weeks.
Work is going ok. Just seems to be a little tense. It's getting to be the end of the quarter and knowing there is mandatory overtime just makes it stressful. Yesterday, Myriad did the big "ringing of the bell" for Nasdaq on WallStreet. On March 2, they also announced a new product that hopefully will go big. It is called Prolaris, First Diagnostic Test to Predict Prostate Cancer Recurrence. If you want, you can check it out, Myriad.
Well, I am off to bed. If you made it this far, you get a cookie (or give yourself a pat on the back) :)
