Easter Morning

Since conference last week and with Easter being this week I have had the Savior on my mind this week. As I was being lazy this morning I was thinking about my relationship with my Heavenly Father and Savior. I thought about a lot of things and the one thing that has been on my mind lately is being alone when Jason leaves next week. I have cried many times worrying about being alone at night or just feeling like I have no one close to me. This morning as I was pondering this I remembered Elder Hollands talk this last week on how we have all felt alone at times and his recount of the days leading up to the Saviors atonement. He gave such a beautiful account of this time and such a strong and touching testimony of what our Savior when through for us.

So as I sat here this morning I felt an overwhelming comfort and peace that I am NOT alone, none of us are EVER alone. Jesus Christ is our Savior and he suffered for our sins he felt all of our pain. As I think about this upcoming week when I have to say goodbye to Jason and the pain that it will cause me, its a great comfort to know that I can always turn to my Savior because he knows how I feel and he will be with me and guide and comfort me while Jason is away.

I just felt like it was appropriate for me to post my feelings and such a beautiful Easter morning. I love all of my family and I am so grateful for Jason and all he does for me. I will miss him terrible but I am so blessed to know of the Savior and that I am not alone and never will be.

Wisdom Teeth

So I had my Wisdom Teeth removed on Wednesday Afternoon. I wen to the dentist on Tuesday and she said I had to get them removed ASAP bc they were pushing my teeth together and causing all my pain. She gave me a number of the oral surgeon and I called them and made and emergency appointment. I did not know that dentist had emergency list.

Anyways I made the appointment for Wednesday morning and I went with out eating anything bc your not supposed to eat anything for 8 hours before the appointment. I met with the doc at 8 and they said they could not take them out until 4. So I was like okay....what do I do the rest of the day??? He said just don't eat anything and then come back at 4. So I left took Jason back to work and then went to park day because I had to do something to keep my mind off of how hungry I was.

By the time it was surgery time my blood sugar was getting low and I was just wanting it all to be over with. I went back and they put an IV in me and all this stuff and then the nurse asked me to open my mouth before i feel asleep. That would be the last thing I remember, until I woke up at home on the couch at 9:45 that night. I HATE not remembering anything its the worst feeling in the world. All in all I am okay not to much swelling and the pain is dulled by the vicodin ( i really hate this medicine I can not imagine why people get addicted to it).

So my teeth are out and now I can go back to the dentist for my root canal! I am just glad I could get it done while Jason was still here! Love you all!

Roast

So I know this is a weird title, but I thought I would write about a tradition in my family. For as long as I can remember my parents and brothers would put a roast in the over before church and then when we came home from church it would be ready and we would all sit down and eat within 30 minutes of walking through the door. When Jason and I started to date and then got married he would always be there for that Sunday tradition and loved it. So we decided we would continue on with it. Well our first year of marriage we did not need to worry about cooking on Sunday for ourselves we would just go to his Mom's house who would cook us an AMAZING roast. When we moved to Florida I decided I would try and cook the roast. The first time I tried I tried it my parents way, I put in the over just like they did and left for church. I did not think about the fact that my roast was 3 times SMALLER then the roast they would cook for 10 to 20 of us. :)

Anyways to get to the point of walking down memory lane. I have attempted 4 Roast since we have been married and I have ruined all 4 of them. So today I decided I will attempt again since I have made all the mistakes in the past. I wanted to try it my parents way again so I put in the oven to brown and walked away. About 10 minutes later I noticed all this smoke in the apartment and decided that the roast was probably brown so I went over to check on it and opened the oven. This is when i noticed the OVEN WAS ON FIRE! So I put out the fire and opened all the windows in the apartment and the door. I pulled the roast out that was not on fire and decided to cook it on the stove top like my Mother-in-Law. I started it on the stove and forgot I had just taken the pan out of a 500 degree oven and what did I do I grab the pan with my bare hand and now I have a burn. SO I will finish cooking this roast and I will NEVER attempt to cook one AGAIN! I will just have to wait until my Mom or Mom-in-Law wants to visit to get one.

I hope all has enjoyed this story as I am typing it I am laughing and I had a good laugh with my Dad. Lets just say I think today Jason is missing the simple and easy roast that my parents and his mom makes. :) Hugs and Kisses to all who read this! :)

Life in San Diego

I was just reading my last update and everything has changed since that update so I think it is time for me to explain whats going on again.

First we are still in this month to month apartment. We went to move on base and found out that the place we were moving into had NO KITCHEN! So we decided that we would rather stay in this apartment with a kitchen then live on base. The house hunting is coming along, we have now made 10 offers and 4 have been accepted and our favorite one is supposed to get back to us Monday and let us know if we can go into escrow! So keep your fingers crossed that we can.

Second is that Jason is still leaving but the bad news is, is that he has to leave in April instead of May and he is on a ship to the middle east for 3 months. After that they will fly him to Mississippi to be with his ship. The total time for this deployment is about 6-8 months. We hope he will be back for Christmas. So I am really hoping we get this house because I am not looking forward to living in this horrible apartment by myself!

All in all life is treating us well. We are loving the beautiful weather here in San Diego and I am enjoying getting to know all of the wonderful women in our ward. We miss all of our family and friends and wish we could see them! We both keep saying that San Diego would be perfect if we could get our family and friends to move here. Lots of love to all of you!!!! :)
