A blonde moment...

I got an invitation to my dear friend, Leslie Hodgson's wedding reception. I have been so excited to go and see her and all my old Ray 1st ward friends. Yesterday was a crazy busy day, but everything went pretty smoothly. I was pretty tired and thought I don't want to drive 45 minutes to an hour to get to the reception, but I really want to go. So lucky for me Erik was home from work (due to his arm injury) and I could leave the kiddos and go. Lindsey decided to go with me. We got in our skirts and headed off around 7:15 after picking Conner up from a primary party. Get to where we thought the reception was and there was another reception going on there (no we didn't go in, but the car decorated outside was for two people we didn't know). Okay know that I have the invitation with me, but we call Erik and say this is the address and we can't find it. As I am reading him the address from the invitation I look at the DATE, September 5. Okay yesterday was September 4! Yay, get it we were a day EARLY! I was so angry, but Lindsey and I had to laugh! BLONDE moment...oh well we wasted some gas, but went shopping at Target (bought a new lamp I needed for my bedroom) and treated ourselves to Bahama Bucks since we didn't get any wedding cake! Oh yeah and got some movies out of Redbox (entertainment for the weekend).

What happens when grease and rain mix?

I woke up to Emergency papers on the counter and Erik laying on the couch with a sling on his arm. I guess he fell at work Thursday night, rain and grease make a slippery combination. He dislocated his shoulder and now that it is back in place he is SUPER sore. Luckily Fry's Pharmacy isn't to far away...grabbed some drugs to help with the pain. Hopefully he can take it easy over this long weekend and be good to go again Tuesday.

I almost went and got paint to paint our bedroom for this weekend, glad I didn't! I would have been doing it alone while he supervised, ugh!

Ward split & lots of changes

Our ward was split and reorganized two Sunday's ago and we are in the Orchard Ranch ward. I am so excited I just found out I get to stay in my calling, Visiting Teaching Coordinator! I am so happy. Lucy Kartchner is the R.S. Pres. and I am so excited to work with her. We are now busy reorganizing visiting teaching so we can hand out the new companionship's for Sunday. I love being busy involved in a good cause. I love VISITING TEACHING!
Visiting teaching is much more than a visit or sharing a thought with a sister. It is how we connect with one another. We share hearts and souls and extend charity, which is "the highest, noblest, strongest kind of love" (Bible Dictionary, "Charity," 632). Visiting teaching brings the love of the Lord to every home and to every sister. It is a sacred trust we have been given.
