spoiled rotten!

all i have to say is that pedicures are a gift from heaven!!! and the man who was all mine for about an hour... wow...he gave an amazing foot/calf massage as well as took care of all of the pampering that i usually do myself, it will be hard to not to become a regular there (good thing it is not by my house!) for any of you who want to spoil me...i love love love pedicures! what can i say....i am way too good to my feet! bonnie and i got to hang out tonight pedicures, ice cream, and the best home made zucchini soup i have ever had! i have been so blessed to spend so much time with bonnie, we have too much fun!
tonight we also had the opportunity to watch the relief society broadcast. the speakers were powerful, and my testimony grew. i cannot wait until i am able to read again what was taught tonight...and i am so excited to go and do the things that they have encouraged us to do, those things that we should be doing anyway... relief society can be a great source of strength for each of us, we are his children, He loves us, and there is a great work that we can do! i am also so excited for general conf. next week...we are so blessed!

whats up with me?

well guys, it has been forever since i have really had a minute to write about what i have been up to for the past few weeks or so. in one word, WOW. i have felt so many emotions so fast... i am not really even sure where to begin. so lets see if i can update ya- work: well, work is work...we have been doing hearing screenings for the schools in the entire district and it has been really good for me to get to know the area. also, it has let me get to know the other people who will be doing speech. there are 15 of us now, and it is really comforting to know that there is always someone that i can talk to for opinions, advice, and just to throw ideas back and forth! tomorrow i actually get to start pulling my kids and i am so excited! it is going to be overwhelming i think, but i really am looking forward to the experience. so far...as far as work goes, i feel very blessed. Apartment: as it turns out…I am still homeless. ): who would have thought that my “moving in sept 1st” would turn into almost october? I cant complain though, i really have to thank those who are letting me stay with them… I am always in and out and going everywhere (: I probably am not the best house-guest…but to those of you I am staying with THANKS HEAPS! As for fun things that I have been doing: I took a road trip to CO this past weekend. So much fun! I went to visit my old roommate and we went to a concert for 15 bucks! We went to see jon mclaughlin , elliot yamin , and secondhand serenade! My favorites were jon (who I think is such an amazing piano player and singer) and secondhand…so so so good! What a blast! (we will probably go to secondhand serenade when they are in SLC)! so yep- that is pretty much it! i have let you know about being in the hospital with bonnie, and i have tried to keep you updated about spencer, i guess that if you want to know something that i have not mentioned... just ask!

SPENCE-

well guys, its an update (a short one for spence) this is what he has to say this week!!! "i am doing good. guess what. we had a baptism this last week. she is so awesome. her name is gisella. she dropped all of her old life to be a member of the church. she really is just awesome. i really wished that i could just give her a huge hug after the baptism but i just couldn't you know the mission rules. but yeah. this last week was just a good week. we are really doing good. i am loving the time that i have had iwth my companion. he is so cool and i think that we have a chance of being together for 4 1/2 months but we will see. oh and now i am also district leader." i just know that he is going to be a great DL! it is also his birthday this week... when did my little brother get to be 21!!! please keep him in your prayers! love you!

well... aunt bonnie is doing good! the dr said that she might get to come home tomorrow!!! she is not supposed to go back to work for about a week to ten days... but she gets to come home and this is great news! she has appriciated all of the flowers, cards, visits, and prayers from everyone. thanks guys! i will continue to keep you updated on her recovery! LOVE YOU!!!

update!!!

well... bonnie is doing good they have moved her out of ICU and they think that she will be home on thursday... so lets cross our fingers. (: they have her off of oxygen, and off of the heparin drip... things are good. that is it for now. i'll let you know more when i know more!

update about aunt bonnie...

hey guys... well as many of you have heard, bonnie was admitted to the hospital today. i have been on the phone a lot, and decided that it might be a good idea to post something about what has been going on today. this morning we took bonnie to the ER and they found some blood clots in her lungs. later they found some more clots in her legs. for now, bonnie is not allowed to be out of bed or do anything really... the doctors want her to rest. she is on some blood thinner and they are hoping that the clots will go away. they have also placed a filter in her to help prevent the clots (the ones in her legs) from moving too far. she will be in the ICU for at least another day, and then on the regular floor for another couple of days so that the doctors can keep a close eye on her. she says THANKS so much for all of the thoughts and prayers. if you want to call or visit bonnie, you can call my cel or her cel...i will be with her for most of the time. i'll try to keep you posted as much as i can. love you.
