Figuring this Blog stuff out

So I am a little slower on the learning curve for cute blogging. But HOW FUN IS THIS STUFF!? I have to admit that I needed to do this a long time ago. I just have to teach my mom and sister how to look at my blog now and start their own.
Anywhooo, now that we finally have insurance . . . the first time in almost 3 years, I made an appointment with an OBGYN to find out what in the heck is going on with my body. Hopefully he can figure all of this out and tell me why my body is turning on me. And hopefully fix it all. That would be nice.
We are really excited because we get to go to the new Draper, UT. Temple open house tomorrow. Our friends got us tickets and we get to take Brooklyn and Kaden to see a temple from the inside for the first time. You know, they hear about temples all the time and we are hoping that this will help make it more real for them. I have to admit that I am excited too. I have never been to an open house. I have been to a dedication for the Las Vegas Temple, but I am interested to do an open house now that I know more about temples.
Update on the new bathroom going in. . . The tiles are almost finished being laid, then the grout, and we will finally get to put the claw foot tub and toilet in. YAY! It will be really nice to not have to run up a flight of stairs when we have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. The bathroom is going to be really pretty. Ron (Brians dad) has done all of the work himself and it is looking beautiful.
Brians job is going really well. He is taking every chance he gets to practice his welding. He will hopefully get enough experience in to take the welders test and become a certified welder himself soon. This will be a really smart move on our part because they always need welders and Brian already has a lot of experience welding. Pray for us, it would be a good occupation for him.
I am still scrapbooking, but on a much smaller scale. There is a little gift shop in the hospital here that is buying baby scrapbooks from me to give to each of the new mothers in a gift basket. It has been fun doing baby girl and baby boy albums for them. I can do about 2 albums in two hours, so I don't get quite so bored. I still haven't heard from SEI to find out if they want me to continue to teach for them this year. With the economy, the owner might just teach the classes herself. Who knows? But I think it was a wonderful opportunity while it lasted. All in all we are settling in really well here in Kemmerer. It is still really cold and snowy, but welcome to Wyoming.

Hey Kim - Sorry I never answered your email! It's fun to read your blog and catch up on what you're doing. I'm so glad you're family is doing well in WY - I miss having you here, but it sounds like Brian has a great job and that's a huge blessing with the economy the way it is. Thank goodness for blogs so that we can catch up!
