BUILD YOUR OWN COUCH!

If you have never built your own couch, I TOTALLY recommend it! Nick and I have been married 5 yrs in June and still had hand me down couches. So we decided after months of debate to try out a website that lets you build your own couch.. I was so nervous! But I got to pick out the fabric and read the directions while my sweet husband took an hour off to put it together for me in between his finals. Isn't that so cool! I LOVE IT!

BUILD YOUR OWN COUCH!

Relief Society Lesson DONE!

Now I can finally relax! It might not seem like a big deal to some, but teaching Relief Society is a big scary job for me.. Today I did it! My stomach was upset, my legs were shaking, it was like SO much anxiety AND WHOOSH! It was all over. I survived. The funny thing was my lesson was on enduring to the end and I can honestly say I had endured this week. No really it was a struggle.

First of all, I got sick so I was fighting a cold all week, then Tessa of course was sick and nick and finals stress.. Then I threw my back out on Thursday (or had a kidney attack-they feel about the same to me) and Friday we put on our ward talent show so I had been really busy with that. I had taught my lesson a million times in my head every night because I couldnt fall asleep and couldnt stop thinking about it.. So hardly any sleep not to mention the three nasty cold sores from the stress on my bottom lip.. I was sure that I was meant to teach this lesson because the legions of hell where trying to drag me down. But I was determined! I was going to stand and give that lesson even if my legs were broken and they had to wheel me into teach! And I did it. I endured! =) Yippy my first relief society lesson went well and I was happy! I felt the spirit, I just hope that others felt it too!

ps The pictures are of me and Tessa this morning and the "soup for our souls" in my object lesson. so if anyone wants to use any of my labels for a lesson or something please let me know. I can email them to you so you can print them out! I didn't work so hard on them just to be use once! =)

~BuBBle BaTh~

I finally broke down and bought a gallon of bubble bath.. I had forgotten to a kid how much its loved! Tessa loves baths, just not washing her hair. The bubble bath has definitely helped in that department! Now if she wants her bubbles, we have to wash hair first then she can have them.. Nothing like a good old bribe!

FUNNY KID!

I have the strangest, silliest, craziest kid! Although, maybe we all think our own children are weird. This is a typical Tessa experiment! Maybe I should have put her in the ward talent show! She's always good for a laugh!

WARD TALENT SHOW

So tonight we had our Ward Talent Show. Wow it was a lot of work! I had no idea how much I'd love my new calling in the activities committee but I do! I am glad everything went well. We put on a Ward Talent show. We had a good turn out too! I think we had 20 people perform talents, ~15 people display talents and 20 people enter our Desert Bake Off Competition. I love this ward and how active it is!

Anyway.. So since I am not a performer and I can't bake, I decided to finish a craft project I had started almost two years ago. (I wanted to participated somehow) But I am happy because think it turned out pretty good. what do ya think?

DRESS UP

I thought these pictures were so cute! Tessa is really into dress up right now.. She loves crazy Halloween outfits and of course her princess dresses! What a silly little girl.. But its great for rainy days! Daddy even played along as tess dress him up too.. (well hes still studying but he plays along like a good daddy!)
