We're Going to St. George - May 27, 2002

Monday - May 27th

We are going to go to St. George tomorrow.  We had a very relaxing day.  We both slept until 1:30pm, then we just sat around and relaxed until Roger had to go to work.  After Roger left, I went over to Carol's (her husband works with Roger) and we laid out in the sun, read books, and talked.  She is just starting to read 'The Work and The Glory' series.  I'm on volume 9, but I decided to read something else.  I was in the mood for bear attack stories, so I read 'Death in Yellowstone'.  I came home from Carol's around 8:00pm because I needed to get somethings done before Roger and I leave tomorrow.  I started the laundry, ate some dinner, got in the shower, did my hair, then started packing.  Now I need to go to do the dishes and go to bed.

Roger called me around 9:00pm tonight.  One of the machines broke down and they couldn't fix it.  they weren't able to do any work because of the machine.  He said that if they couldn't get the machine fixed soon, they were going to send people home, so he might come home early.  He hasn't come home yet, so I'm guessing they got the machine fixed.  We plan to sleep until noon tomorrow, then wake up and go to my parent's house.

Hanging Out With Missy and Marty - May 26, 2002

Sunday - May 26th

I ended up sleeping all day with Roger.  The alarm clock didn't go off.  I slept until 2:00pm.  I didn't sleep at all last night, that's why I was able to sleep all day.  Roger is going to try and get on a new shift so he won't be working graveyards anymore.  He is trying to get on the wed, thurs, friday day shift.  If he gets on that shift he will work from 5:00am to 5:00pm.  I really hope he gets on that shift before we move into Caroline and Scott's four-plex.  I feel nervous about being home alone there when he works graveyards.  Nights aren't so scary here, because this is a shared house.  I know that if there was a problem, the Griffins are right upstairs and will help.

Missy and Marty came over tonight.  They just moved to Layton and they don't know anybody around there, so they were bored and decided to visit.  They haven't seen where I live before.  We played cards and watched movies.  They left around 1:00am.

Roger's Birthday! - May 25, 2002

Saturday - May 25th

It's Roger's birthday!  We went to Salt Lake yesterday for Roger's birthday.  I planned a little surprise party for him with his friends.  So, we spent Friday night celebrating his birthday with his friends and today we celebrated with his family.

So, on Friday, we slept in, then woke up and packed our stuff to go to Salt Lake.  We stopped and visited with roger's mom until about 6:30, then we met Spencer and Somer at 7:00 and went to eat at Lita's Pizza.  That's where all the friends were waiting to surprise Roger.  Jamie and Kirk were late.  I had asked them to bring a Chocolate Satin Pie from Marie Calanders (Roger's favorite pie) to surprise roger.  Tyson was also late.  He witnessed a car accident on the way and had to fill out a police report.  He was stopped at a red light.  When the light turned green, he had a feeling not to go.  The car next to him went and he started to go, but the spirit told him to stop.  He stopped.  Just then a car ran the red light and smashed into the car that had been next to him and had gone when the light turned green.If he hadn't listened to the spirit and stopped, he would have been the one who got hit.

Besides Tyson's near accident on the way to the party, everything went great.  Roger kind of expected that his friends would be there, so he wasn't too surprised about that, but he was surprised that Jamie and Kirk and Tyson came.  He was also surprised by the pie they brought.  I really wanted roger to have a fun birthday.  He made my birthday so fun and special. I really wanted to return the favor.  After dinner, we went to a movie ('Spiderman') with his friends.  Then we went to his mom's house to sleep.  Here are the pictures and video I took while we were at Lita's Pizza.

We woke up around 7:00am to start helping his mom move her things out.  She sold her house and has to be out by May 31st (I think).  She is going to go on a mission.  She got called to serve in the Manchester, England mission.  She leaves for the MTC in August.  We are sad that she won't be here to see Alissa when she is born, but we are also very happy for her.  Anyway, all of the family came to help her move today.  Everybody worked hard all morning, then at noon, we had a barbecue (hot dogs, potato chips, and drinks).  After lunch, I brought out a cake that I had made for Roger. and we sang 'Happy Birthday'.  Roger blew out the candles then we ate cake and pie.  After that, Roger and I had to leave.  We had to be back so roger could go to work tonight.  He is the best husband.  I love him so much.  I'm so glad we get to spend eternity together.  Here are the pictures and video I took today.

 Here is my pregnant belly.

 And here is my handsome husband.

Brittany Peed on Me - May 23, 2002

Thursday - May 23rd

We ended up not going to visit my parents like we had planned.  We couldn't sleep, so we thought it would not be safe for us to be driving so tired.  We decided not to go.  We are going to try and go this next week on Tuesday.  We relaxed at home on Wednesday.  The baby was kicking!  She has started to kick a lot harder.  I've been waiting for her to kick hard enough that Roger can feel too.  She finally started.  I put my hand on my stomach and I saw and felt it move.  I wish Roger was her to feel it.  He's at work.  He works the graveyard shift.

I went to a Dr. appointment today.  The doctor said that everything looks good with the baby.  I had the doctor freeze the wart on my finger again.  I hope it will die this time.  I also had him put some acid stuff on my warts on my feet.  When I took the Band-aids off, I noticed that a big chunk of the wart on my toe had been killed.  It's gone!  I was really happy that the acid he put on it is really working.  Warts are really yucky.  I really wish I never had any.

After the doctors appointment, we went to visit Caroline.  We ended up staying for only a short while because Brittany went potty on my leg.  We were sitting at the table eating and she was sitting on my lap.  She just couldn't hold it.  She felt bad and was really embarrassed that that had happened.  It was pretty funny.  I let her know that I was not mad and she warmed up to me again.  After that, we came home and I washed laundry while Roger played the Sims game (it is so addicting).

Young Women's Activity - May 21, 2002

Tuesday - May 21st

Roger and I just got home from Walmart.  We went to buy Roger's birthday present.  He got a Sims Expansion Pack (a computer game).  We also ended up buying some granola bars (travel food for tomorrow).

Tonight Roger and I got to talk to the Young Women about the importance of Temple marriage.  They asked us to bring things about our wedding day.  I took my wedding dress and a wedding photo album.  We had a lot of fun talking about our wedding.  I made Roger do most of the talking.  He is very smart and is great at knowing what to say and teaching,  I hope that we made a good impression on the Young Women.  I hope we helped them to realize the importance of temple marriage.    Now that we are done talking to them, a lot of things have come to my mind that I wish I would have said to them.  I had a lot of fun at the activity tonight.  I'm finally getting to know the young women better and feel a lot better about my calling.  I've been the secretary in young womens for about 2 months now.  I'm really happy to have a calling.

Tomorrow, Roger and I are going to visit my parents at their new property by Brian Head Ski Resort.  We are going to stay until Friday.  Then we will come home to celebrate Roger's birthday with his friends.  I've been trying to put together a surprise party for him.  I'm really hoping that his friends will show up and everything will turn out okay.  I really want him to have a good birthday.  I need to go to bed now.  We are going to wake up early for our trip to see my parents.

We're Having A Girl! - May 9, 2002

Thursday - May 9th

We go to find out the sex of our little baby today.  We are having a little girl.  ( We already knew we were from our experience in the temple).  We are so excited for our little Alissa to be born!  She was so cute in her ultra sound.  We could see her face.  She had her hand by her mouth and she was moving her mouth.  It was very cute and exciting to see.
