LONG TIME NO BLOG!

Well its been a while since I got on here so a quick update. Work, work and more work oh yeah and I had my wisdom teeth pulled. That was painful! Actually i had 10 teeth pulled. I had all four wisdom teeth my four very back teeth and then two more I broke a while ago, in a crazy football game, that I never got fixed. I have been told several times that one day the four back ones would have to come out because believe it or not my mouth is small. I know that hard for some of you to swallow but its true. Anyway the swelling is gone and now I feel great. Just after the dentist appointment my sister came over with my nephews and i told them I would play with them when I felt better! Well they held me to that. They came over this last weekend and boy did we play. We built a fort, went on a hike, went on a picnic jumped on the trampoline and just played and played. They had so much fun and so did I. My teeth were causing my so much pain before that I didn't realize how much better I would feel after getting them taken care of. Anyway I am glad spring is finally peeking through the clouds. Finally getting to spend more time outside with the animals and working on the garden. Anyway my time is up! See you next blog!

Update!

So like I said the initial date went very well. However, some of the things he told me were lies. Like that he is an active member of the Church, he doesn't drink and that he was not recently engaged. Well all of those are lies. He is not active and he does drink and he was recently engaged and she broke it off when he was caught with someone else. I must say its for the best though. He was a major city boy (even afraid of horses) and then there is me who is totally country. I love anything to do with being outside and I have a horse that I love to ride. Needless to say we will not be going out again. I got all of this wonderful information from a nosey neighbor whom I love dearly. She and her family moved in next door a few years ago and when we heard they were moving in we were disappointed because that meant a family member (literally) would be moving away. Well it has been wonderful. They get along great with our family and I love their kids. Shes like a sister and she was concerned because she had heard some things about him so she asked the sister to the girl he was engaged to. She told her things about him and she relayed them to me. I must say I am grateful for her concern! So I was just thinking its funny how life works out. I mean we look toward certain events but they really never work out the way we expect them to. Sometimes, like in the date situation, they work out worse than expected and sometimes, like the new neighbor, they work out better than expected. Either way they work out it always turns out to be the best for you at that point in your life. Somtimes we don't see it that way at the time but looking back I think we appreciate the trials and the circumstances that we are given. I believe thats what makes us who we are and shapes us into the people we become.
