the rest of my normal week

I realized after finishing my post that I forgot to mention a few huge things that I accomplished last week and they should be mentioned. The first being that I finished canning my bushel of pears!! I finished canning and jamming my half bushel of peaches. I also contemplated raspberry jam, but haven't made it yet. Now I have to go pick some apples to make a whole lot of apple sauce. I must also admit that I had help and in no way could I have ever done it alone. Thank you Carol and Marsha, which really means thank you for bottling my stuff while I chase Isaak around--you are awesome.

I also cut open my finger. I was trying to be all prepared for dinner by making pulled pork in the crock pot, but as I was cutting the onion--all went askew. I sliced into my finger and I felt it hit the bone. Then the blood--ewww--I remembered that fingers were bleeders, so naturally I stayed nice and calm-haha. I tried direct pressure and bandaging, but the blasted thing kept bleeding, so I contemplated getting stitches all day long. I learned in my WFR course that if the skin doens't fall together then you should get stitches. I looked at the sides gaping open and kept thinking--hmm maybe it's not that bad. I waited long enough that I couldn't get it stitched up. Several people suggested superglue, but I was afraid of infection and I must admit I didn't clean it as well as I should have--I'm a wuss(as I have previously stated) and it hurt. It also bugged me to watch my skin flap as I held it under the tap. But my little gapping wound has all closed up. So at first I regretted skipping the stitches, but now I'll have an awesome little scar to remind me of my first pulled pork, which was delicious and lasted for four meals!!!!

I got to see some awesome people last week. Yes--I'm talking about you Penny, Jennie, Aislinn, and Tina. It was fun to see you. I also got to talk to several great people Gina and Teana! Since I lost all my phone numbers it was great to have them give me a call. I also got called to be the Beehive Advisor in my Ward, which means I will be teaching young women about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I hope they like me. I'm really excited. I also got to see Cory study all the time!! He's getting ready to take the GMAT....yikes...can't wait until that's over. I wonder who came up with the idea of all these silly little tests that cost way too much money.

Cutting yourself while making dinner is the worst! I usually get really wussy when I see the blood (I'm a wimp).

Good luck on the GMAT. Let us know how it goes and how difficult it is cuz I'll be taking that one day!

You'll do great in that calling! And I was so happy to see you! Kristina said she'd love to get together too...
Congratulations on your new calling. You will do such an amazing job. You are so good at these kinds of things. You will have to show me your scars on your fingers since we will be neighbors on Friday.

From me to him

Dear Isaak, Happy Birthday my little guy! It feels like just yesterday that you were literally pulled out to come into this world. Yes literally with forceps around your little head because you accidentally faced the wrong direction or maybe you faced the direction you wanted to. You didn’t seem like you were quite ready to come out because you were just wailing--almost like you were saying, “You know--I was perfectly comfortable in there.” I’ve learned this year that you surely know what you want and you will not stop until you get it. For example when we tried to spend the weekend away from home and you didn't like sleeping in your playpen! You woke up every 1/2 hour to let us know you weren't comfortable. You finally fell asleep around 3am when we put you on the bouncer. Cory slept with his arm around you on the floor so you didn't roll off. You weren’t going to come easy, eh?? I remember pushing and pushing and pushing and thinking this isn’t going how I thought that i...

Alas I speak

First of all it was easy to get that Widget of the Baby on, but I have no idea how to get if off. It's not that I don't want to remove it, I just don't know how. I'm not the smartest blogger on the block. I bet there is some button that says remove widget somewhere. So the big day finally arrived-if you want to know as little as possible I suggest that you read no further, but just scroll down and enjoy the pictures. I slept in on Thursday(last week)-it was glorious. I straightened my hair, shaved my legs and just slowly got ready for work. I then decided that it was essential that I pick up baby wipes from Costco. My body must have known that I would be needing them soon. I'm walking around Costco and all of the sudden I pee my pants. I was looking all around for a bathroom, but I couldn't see one anywhere. I thought well it was just a little leak and I know there is a bathroom at target and they are usually pretty clean. So I head over to target and I continue...

For the LOVE!!

What a day we had. What a day we had. I get tired again just thinking about it. Cory's car is getting the muffler put back on. I'm a little sad about it because Isaak and I could hear his car coming from over a block away when he was on his way home, but it's also a little embarrassing how loud it is. I'm sure it defied all noise ordinances. In any case, Isaak and I have been getting up a little early to take Cory to work, which is kind of fun because we get to see him more, but before dinner it's not kind of fun. It's kind of stinky because it's a hustle to get everything all put together. Yesterday I had to make dinner at about 3pm so I could get everything in. So back to yesterday. Isaak and I had just rolled our bushy little tails out of bed and both of us were still in pajamas. I was wearing my chacos and one of Cory's jackets and Isaak wanted to bring all of his blankets. Thankfully for some weird reason I threw his tennis shoes into the diaper bag...
