I found this article in the Deseret News on Prop. 8. I thought the comments were interesting.

Cell Phones in School

Having worked in the high school, cell phone can be very disruptive and take away from the learning process. Kids are always texting when the teacher is trying to teach. They do not care that it is against the rules and do as they please. I have taken phones away from students myself. They go to the teacher and get it back later. The link below is from the Deseret News. Thought some might want to read it.

Mormon Way fof Doing Business

Mom and I have just finished reading this book. It was a great book. There was never a dull moment. I was amazed at what men in the church in the church could accomplish and keep the standards. It it worth reading. I will loan the book to anyone who wishes to read it. Below is a link to a synopsis of the book.

Missionary get together

I went to a get together for a young man in our ward Sunday. He was going on a mission. One of my friends told this joke. So I thought I would share it with you.

The Lord came to Adam and said would you like someone to clean,cook,and do anything you want. Adam said sure, how much is it going to cost. The Lord said an arm and a leg. Adam said do you have anything for a rib.

It has been along time since I posted. A lot has happened since then. I really do not know where to being, so I will just start writing. My job ended the end of April. I though no deal I'll just find another one. Went on Craig's list and they had many opportunities. So I applied for all the ones I was qualified for and heard back, went for many interviews. I thought I was saying and dressing the right way, but low and behold I am still looking. I wonder if my age has something to do with my lack of success. I have been going to the LDS employment agency for help with resumes and what ever else they can help me with. I have been to career builders.com, monster.com, and to as many temp. agencies that I can find. Still no luck. I am very discouraged. I have never had so much trouble finding employment in my life. Now everything is done on the computer. I went to the University of Northridge, because I was having trouble with the application. I thought I could pick up and app., but low and behold it is only done on the computer, so back I went and finally got the site to accept my application.

In June I went to see Eric in Provo, which is were he lives now. He was receiving his patriartical blessing. It was a wonderful experience for a mother to have. It is the 3 one I have set in on. It was good to visit him since I had not seen him in over a year. I saw Lyn while I was there. It was good to see him again. I love going to the Y and just walking around.

In July I went to Indiana for a week to see Traci and her family. Jeremy was getting baptized. It had been awhile since I had seen them. I had quiet the experience with thunder and lighting. It turned the whole sky white and scared me to death, we were driving on the freeway. Good thing Traci knew how to drive in this kind of weather.

In August I went to Vallejo, California to see Tami get married. I helped with the wedding via the computer. We would talk on yahoo messenger and go back and forth with ideas, and look at sites on the internet for things she need, and would send links to her. What computers can do. It was fun to help her even if we were miles away. The wedding was great. She has pictured posted on her blog. I don't have any pictures since it scares me to post them, since I don't know how. I well learn one day. Everyone says it is easy. In between all this I had to go to a funeral for my nephew on Jim's side. He had some problems and choose to deal with them by killing himself. It was very sad and a shame for such a young life.

Movie "Come Live With Me"

I was watching an old movie the other night with James Stewart and Heddy Lamar, called Come Live with Me. Jimmy recited a poem that the title of the movie came from:

Come live with me and be my love,
And we will all the pleasures prove
That valleys, groves, hills, and fields,
Woods or steepy mountain yields.

And we will sit upon the rocks,
Seeing the shepherds feed their flocks,
By shallow rivers to whose falls
Melodious birds sing madrigals.

And I will make thee beds of roses
And a thousand fragrant posies,
A cap of flowers, and a kirtle
Embroidered all with leaves of myrtle;

A gown made of the finest wool
Which from our pretty lambs we pull;
Fair lined slippers for the cold,
With buckles of th purest gold;

A belt of straw and ivy buds,
With coral clasps and amber studs:
And if these pleasures may thee move,
Come live with me and be my love.

The shepherds' swains shall dance and sing
For thy delight each May morning:
If these delights thy mind may move,
Then live with me and be my love.

I thought this was a great poem the movie was great. Could watch it again

ROLL,ROLL, ROLL

Eric has decided to move to Utah and go to the college in Orem. I always forget what it is call. So he left living with Traci on Tuesday morning. He went to visit Steven and Kim and spent the night. About 3:00 am on Thursday the wheel of his jeep caught the dirt as he over corrected when he saw a truck coming and the car flipped 3 times. There was a microwave in the front seat that never touched him as he was rolling. He walk away which the officer told him usually never happens in a situation like his. He realizes that the Lord was truly watching over him. He said it was like he was in a bubble. A friend from Provo came to get him. He was somewhere close to Price, Utah. His shoulder hurts, but other then that he is okay. Has no car of course. He can ride a bike for awhile he said. I am so grateful that the Lord was watching over him. Prayers do really work.

I'm Back

Now don"t be shocked that I am blogging again. It is just that I have something to say. Most of the time I don"t. Therefore I don"t blog. I feel I have nothing interesting to say and I don"t know how to put pictures on the blog. So enjoy this while you can.

Tami is getting married in August, as of now anyway. The ceremony will be in Valljeo, where she lives. Only siblings,parents, & grandparents if they wish to come,those in the wedding party will be
will be the only one invite. They want to keep it small, they do not have a lot of money.

Hope all is well with eveyone. Love to you all.

Mess'n with the blog

I am not sure what happened when I tried to change my blog. The profile when to the bottom of the page. Anyone know how I can fix it?

Disneyland

Went to Disneyland with Eric on Saturday, his Dad also came. It was croweded as always. They even told you how long the wait would be for the ride. Most were about 70minutes. Went on Pirates, Haunted House, Mr. Toads Wild Ride, Autopia (the cars), Thrunder Mountain(will never do that again), closed my eyes the whole ride. Indiana Jones,(Eric said it was not like TM) so I went. Don't believe everything you hear, especially from a 20 yearold boy. Will also never go on that ride again. I kept my eyes open that time, big mistake. But we had a wonderful time. Eric is leaving on Wednesday, with some friends from BYU to work for the summer. He is going to put in Security Systems. He has training for a few days in Utah, then off to visit Traci for a few days, then on to Virgina I think. I believe he is going to several places to work. Hope all is well with everyone.

Well it has been quite awhile since I have blogged. I have a new job that keeps me very busy. I leave for work at about 6:45am and travel about an hour, to Valencia, CA. I work for a CPA. The tax season is the busiest. Corporate taxes where do March 15 and of course we have some late companies. I worked until about 5:45pm all week, plus the hour drive home I was very tired. All that is left is individual taxes and people always wait until the last minute especially if they owe money. My job is only temporary. When the tax is over so is my job. I work for Sam in 2004. He has asked me to back before but I did not. He gave me a raise and helped pay my gas. Good to be needed. He did not have to train me. I am tryiing to get him to hire me full time. I will even go back to school and learn Quickbooks and take the other half of my bookkeeping class. Eric is leaving at the end of the month to go and work with a friend of his from the Y. They are going to put in security systems in another state. Tami has moved to Oakland and is still going to school Jamie is still living with me and working at Toyko Steak. Hope you are all well and happy.l Love to all

A Day In The E.R.

On Monday January 15th Jamie asked me to take her to the ER. She had been having pain for the last 5 days. When we got their the waiting room had only two other people. I thought this will not take very long. Faomous last words. We did not get in until 1 o'clock. We got their at 9. Needless to say the rest was downhill. The ER was so packed they had people everywhere. The ambulances just kept coming. They were lined up and down the hallway. It got so bad that no visitors were allowed in the ER. They had closed the ER at Antelope Vallley Hospital, so they were all beening sent to Lancaster Hospital, where we were. It was a night mare. They finally decided to admitt Jamie and we got a room at 8:30 pm. They thought it was her galbladder so they went in down her thoart and cleaned out the slug. She was in the hospital until Thrusday night. They di d not remover it. She is still in pain and on medication. They were really concerned about the levels of her red and white blood cells. They were below normal. They always have been. They are trying to get her records from Children's Hospital when she was younger and had all that trouble with her spline and liver. She will have a test on those later this week. So in the meantime we just sit and wait. Hopefully will have some news shortly after the test. Will keep you posted.

Merry Christmas

I thought you would enjoy this. I leave Sunday for Kelli's. Will post when she is born.

All of you have a Merry Christmas!!!
