Good Times

Great things have been happening!

I found out that my divorce that was started almost 10 months ago was finalized this last week. I spent some time with my sister, Leah, cooked and ate dinner and watched a movie followed by a trip to Wal-Mart. Then we baked cookies and visited with friends into the late night. It was fun to just hang out with her and sing at the top of my lungs my favorite song by Taylor Swift, "You Shoulda Said No," while they laughed at me. :op I had an awesome time with the Young Women in church on Sunday and laughed at how off I was at trying to practice one of the songs with them because of my darn cold. I spent this Sunday night at my roommate's parent's house and had TONS of fun with her family. We made popcorn, danced in tutus, again sang at the top of our lungs, plastered ourselves with "Brooke" stickers, ate carrot cake till we couldn't stomach any more, surfed facebook, myspace, and other networking sites, and then ended by having Family Home Evening which consisted of telling everyone what we had going on this next week while Chelsea was giving Andrea a pedicure. We compared foot shavings and read from the Ensign's Conference Issue, and then watched their family videos and laughed. It was so much fun.

Lately, I have loved driving around town and seeing the fall colors. Days in the Kennewick area have started out rainy and dreary, but usually end up sunny and nice. We are going to take the kids out and have them play in the leaves and get pictures this next week sometime. The trees are gorgeous around here. The church has some amazing trees with about an inch of leaves under them. Sweet spot for pictures. :)

I am going to be one busy bee early this week. Tonight my mom is coming over from Quincy with my niece, Abby. Tomorrow I am helping with the demo of the other 2 shrubs in our front yard right after work. Wednesday I have the YW/YM activity of raking sister's leaves in the ward which I am looking forward to. Then Thursday is finally the day that I don't have something going on right after work and can finally buckle down and study. I have my first MiaMaids lesson I have to prepare for this week as well and somewhere this week I want to go visit teach one of my sisters that I have. Go Go Go... that's a mom's life right?

I know I haven't posted Halloween pictures on here yet and the reason is because I couldn't find them on the computer. Andrea had downloaded them, but I couldn't find them and then when I finally asked her and found out where they were, her computer now has the blue screen of death! I don't know what the issue is there... I'm just worried that all the pictures we have stored on there are not going to be able to be accessed. Has anyone else had any experiences with the "Blue Screen of Death" on their computer before and if so how did it work out?
