Too funny!

Ok So i'm sick today and stayed home from church because i did not feel well. So most of my day was spend catching up on sleep and working on my computer. I'm sitting here minding my own business while my mother inlaw is chatting away on the phone in the living room. I can't help but over hear her as she has a tendancy to speak very loudly on the phone. Kinda funny cause Robert and his dad have both asked her to go to her room because she does talk very loudly. At this time everyone has gone to another room as to not have to listen to her. So ok here is the funny part.

Her phone call dropped because she is on a cell phone. So after 10 minutes of her yelling HELLO, HELLO she starts talking to herself about "communication these days, they are listening in and recording". Finanlly the party she was speaking to rings back and she then spends the next 1/2 hour convincing the person that "she knows that all communication is recorded" and that is what causes the phone line to go down cause they are changing the tapes or something. I tell you I couldn't stop laughing I almost had to get up and walk away. Of all ths strange things I've heard from this women this one takes the cake. She really believes that "that communication these days is bad on these phones" But intereting enough it dosn't stop her from making her 20+ rounds of phone calls she makes daily . It totally cracks me up. Apparently the person she was talking with had enough of the conversation and continued to hang up but again maybe it was the government changing tapes during her conversations.....LOL

Easter Bunny Cake

I made this cake for YW's tonight. I don't think it came out very good. I've done better so I might just keep it at home or give it to one of our friends. Not sure. Oh well. Just thought I would show you what I did today besides work :) . Actually Robert helped me he frosted the cake and Eddie separated the M&M's.

Conference

Yesterday Robert and I sat in front of the computer and listened to Saturday Conference. I missed most of it but caught President Eyrings talk. His topic was living through adversity and being prepared for things. He talked about a family who's father he had spoken to recently had lost his job and yet he was not down when asked how he could be so cheerful he replied he had done all he could to prepare. His wife replied "we are full tithe payers, we will be fine".

This made me think a lot about where Robert and I are and "are we prepared"? I keep meaning to start our food supply and keep putting it off. I am going to make this a priority. But what really caught my attention with his talk is how we should look at things differently and know that we've done all we can and leave the rest to the lord.

This made me think a lot about Roberts parents being here with us and after the talk I realized this is where they should be for many reasons. I have many things I will work on and I will improve upon but mostly I will be prepared. I am thankful I have a home to share. I am thankful that Robert and I are able to help support family members if nothing else at least in spirit. I am thankful we are active members of the church and full tithe payers. I am thankful we are able to accept callings and do our best in serving the lord.

Being prepared...... wheres some paper I need to make a list....LOL

My world is changed forever

My world is changed forever. This past week my in-laws moved in. I have a lot of feelings/ emotions about this and am having a hard time coming to grips with this. My world is changed forever.

My husband and I come from very different backgrounds. The way our parents raised us is very different and their ideas of our roles in life are very different. My dad told me when he found out I was marrying a Samoan - Your life will be very different. It will not be yours. There are so many truths to this simple but short statement. My world is changed forever

Although I was never actually told they were moving in until the day before I knew it was coming. I found it very strange that it was a topic that was discussed but never discussed with me. I think that everyone knew that if I knew ahead of time things might be very different. I love my husband very much and feel terrible for the place he must be but My world is changed forever.

My home is more then just a home. Its something I worked hard for, something I've taken great pride in, something I've sacrificed for. It is a place I made sure my daughters would be free to come and go and feel good as though this is their home and a place they will always have. My world is changed forever.
