Whewh!
Wow! My life has been SO busy! Sheesh........crazy....amazing.....bad some days....but mostly GREAT!!!
I've been working at the Benson Animal Hospital for a month and about a half now...and it's great! Every day has a new challenge, and the great thing is that I've been able (not without help!) to get everything done that I needed to!
Kari came last Thursday, and that day started a BIG, LONG, BUSY week and a half!
Kari went with me to the St. David graduation, and left her purse in the car...I never lock the car, because it's a piece of junk, so who would want it, or anything in it?? So, while we were watching the graduation, her purse was stolen.
Friday my mom and Kari cleaned while I was at work! :-p
Sabbath was kinda weird. It was my turn (the first turn, since it was my idea) to come up with something interesting to do. That was a flop, because I couldn't think of anything! :-p So we just discussed things....which is what we normally do, and that's why it's not as interesting as it could be.
Sunday...what did we do?? I don't remember. We must have done something! :-p
Oh yeah! My aunt, uncle, and 3 cousins came, staying until Fri.
Mon., we went to Cochise Stronghold. It was a BIG family thing! :-p It was fun!
There was a slight rattling problem though....
My uncle was carrying my baby (2 1/2 yrs.) cousin, and they stepped over a rock, and we all heard a rattle....
Well, it was a rattlesnake! The first one I've seen alive! (that I can remember)
Everyone got pictures, some of them really good!
Tues., we went to México!
That trip my AR family, my sisters, my mom, and myself went. Nogales is an interesting city...

As you look up, you can see both sides of the border, and you can tell that there is a BIG difference in the economy! On the Mexican side, people live in shacks, and in plain view, right across the border, on OUR side... are these REALLY nice houses....anything wrong there????? You betcha!
I don't know what, but I want to do something. I feel like I should do something, but I know I won't be able to change much, if anything. It just bugs me, because most of the Mexicans actually WORK for their living, which is meager, and in the US, we do practically nothing, and we make more than enough! It's not fair!

Wed., we cleaned out a room in our house, and it looks SO much better!
Thurs., more of the same. Family meeting, learned that my sis., Melissa and her b/f have to move out, and off the property in less than 2 weeks, and my parents have to vacate in 6 months. Grr.....To make room for retiring family.
Fri., my AR family left, and we went around town that afternoon doing various errands.
Sabbath was a GOOD day! It went by SO fast! We actually did things that were interesting! We talked about what would make church more interesting, and we just....had a good day.
Tonight I picked Karen up from work (her family forgot her!), and she came for worship, and we sang...I'll try and see if I can post some on here, I don't know if it'll work or not. So, after worship, we went to St. David for Brian and Nikki's 2nd reception. (long story)
Tomorrow, it's going to be a busy day! Another family meeting, I don't know what else! Crazy!
More later!
