CATS!! What Would We Do WIthout Them!!

You never realize how expensive pets are until they get sick and you can't get them better. Tucker my male cat has been sick for 5 months. Right now they think he either has a tumor in his sinuses, or he has chronic sinusitus. Hopefully it is the last one. So our daily regime is I go find Tucker out of hiding and put eye drops and nose drops with steriods in him and then give him an allergy pill. Oh it is so fun.. However, we just went to the vet last week and he got a steriod shot and antibiotic shot and he is doing better which is wonderful. However, doing the medicine is never fun.

Snowflake is staying well. She will come wake me up in the morning to let me know that it is time for treats. She definately stays on top of everything to do with cat stuff. If the cat food is to low she let's me know. If it is time to go outside she makes sure I know.

I sure love these two cats. They can tell when something is wrong, and they come and cuddle with me, and they won't leave me by myself. They just know when I need something. Especially when Neill is gone to work. Pets are wonderful to have.

Memorial Day & a Graduate

I have had an interesting month So many things are going on. Can you believe I have an 18 year old Step-Daughter that is Graduating from High School on the 31st of May. Then we are bringing her home to live with us. That is where she wants to live. It blows my mind. I've been struggling with a few things, and I was on the computer and I came across this quote. "Sometimes Courage Is The Little Voice At The End of the Day That Says, "I'll try again tomorrow."  By President Thomsa S. Monson. I know I came across that quote for a reason. Sometimes you just want to give up but we just need to "try again tomorrow."

I want to tell my Dad how much I love him. I won't be able to come home on Memorial Day, and it really hurts. Dad, you mean the world to me. I love you so much. You and mom taught me so many things and you and I had so many talks and you gave me so much advice. I want you to know that I Honor You. Even if I can't be at your grave you are in my heart. I love you.  Emily

I hope everyone has a wonderful Memorial Day!

The Temple

I'm so excited. Last week we got a letter from the First Presidency saying that we could get Sealed in the Temple. We have waited 5 years to get Sealed in the Temple. We are going to get sealed in the Idaho Falls Temple. The reason we are getting married in the Idaho Falls Temple is because both our parents were marreid there. It will be a very special day.  I'm so excited this is something we have waited for, for a long time. and I think it will be that much sweeter and more special. We are going to get Sealed on Aug 11th at 9:30 a.m. Our Anniversery Date is Aug 8, but that happens to fall in the middle of the week. Aug 11 is on Sat. We figure people will be able to make it on Sat. This is such a wonderful blessing. I've been waiting for this my whole life, and it has finally happened. What a special time. You just don't know what it feels like when you finally get that letter from the First Presidency with all of their names indvidually written on the peice of paper saying, "We give you persmission to be married for Time and All Eternity in the Temple of our Heavenly Father." I get to be married to my Sweetheart for Time and All Eternity!
