On Kennadee's actual birthday we got up and had chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast. They were delicious!! Then she got to open her present from us which was a Disney Princess blankie to replace her Care Bear blankie that she has had since birth and would soon be rags if we didn't replace it!!
Well with life as crazy and stressful as it has been lately I have been in major need of a change so the other day my friend Crystal and I went to get my hair cut. They cut off about 8 inches. Wow I can't believe how short it is but I LOVE it!!!
Well I hope ya'll had a great Valentine's Day yesterday!! We didn't get a chance to frost our cookies yesterday so we did them today and it was fun!!
Well I finally got hired at Pizza Hut!! I put in my application at both locations in Twin the first of January and have been calling ever since to see if they had gotten a chance to look at my application and both locations ended up losing my applications so I finally got in touch with the manager and got an interview today and they hired me on the spot!! I am so excited!! I am going to be a cook on the evening shift and then maybe I can be a driver later when they are needing another one. Hopefully I don't gain too much weight!!
Our dear prophet President Gordon B. Hinkley passed away last night at 7:00 p.m. He was a great prophet seer and revelator for our day. I always admired the spirit he carried with him and I loved his sense of humor. I am saddened at his death. I was really looking forward to seeing him come and dedicate the Twin Falls temple this summer. But I rejoice in the fact that I know that he can be with his wife once again and that he is now with our Father in Heaven. I am so grateful for the love and direction he gave to our church. I cherish the many lessons I learned from him. And I hope that I will meet him someday in the eternities. I do have a strong testimony of the gospel and of eternal life. And I am grateful to have lived in the era of a wonderful prophet!!
What a wonderful experience. Since we have been in Twin Falls we have been attending the Spanish Branch. Partly so I can learn spanish by being immersed in it but mostly because the first week we went to check it out we felt the spirit so strongly we decided to stay. Shortly after starting in the ward Russell was called to be the second counselor in the Elder's Quorum Presidency so we knew it was meant to be.
Anyway so today we had the missionaries over for dinner and when we had seen them at church they had an investigator with them so we invited him to come also. So we had dinner and then they wanted to do one of the discussions with him and show him a segment in the Joy to the World DVD. So they did that (all in Spanish) and Russell and Dustin were able to help and bear testimony to him. Even though I couldn't understand most of what they were saying I could feel the spirit so strongly in my heart. It was awesome!!! When they were almost finished they gave Crystal and I the opportunity to bear our testimonies and they translated them for us. It was beautiful. Then they sang Joseph Smith's First Prayer in Spanish and we were all in tears. It was beautiful!!! I am so glad that we were able to be a part of it. I am so grateful to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!! It is so amazing to see the gospel through new eyes!!! I hope you all can have an amazing experience like this.
We are finally settled!! It has taken a bit to get settled in and to figure what we are going to do financially but I think we finally have it figured out!! It has been fun to get back in touch with all of our friends. We have had a couple of game nights and dinners with them!! It has been great!! We are having fun and really enjoying it. We live just down the road from the new Twin Falls temple so we are able to watch the construction it has been fun. Every time we pass it Kennadee says look at the new temple!! She loves it. I am watching my nephew Gage, and Dustin and Crystal's little girl Rylee. During the day and I might start watching my friend Mary's kids also if she starts working days!! I am excited!! It has been lots of fun!!
Rudy is our little doggy. Kennadee tells everyone that he is an "eagle mix" what she really means to say is he's a beagle mix. He is a crazy dog. He loves to run up and down the yard chasing the dogs on the other side of the fence. He also loves, let me rephrase that, is totally addicted to chasing the laser pointer although we have to be very careful when using it in the house because he gets over excited and pees all over the place if we don't make sure he goes outside first. Over all he's a pretty good dog .
