Presents for Me!

SO excited!!! So the other day I am at work when I feel my (scuze my language) bra vibrate. Yes, I am one of those girls who when I do not have a pocket (or sometimes even when I do) will use the convenience I was born to and store items, namely my phone, there. I check my phone as any responsible manager whose boss may be calling, would do. Imagine my surprise when I realize that my mother is calling me...mid day. Oh speaking of which I should probably call her soon. I answer the phone to find out she is just leaving the funeral of an old family friend. As I talk with her she decides that she NEEDS to stop by work to give me some mail, instead of just giving it to me later in the evening. Come to find out she had an ulterior motive. It seems as she was reading the newspaper her eye fell upon an add for a Sewing Machine/Serger by Necchi. It cost 199.99 and she was wondering if I would like to go in halvsies. Heck yes!!! I was so excited.

Saturday, after much family guilt over canning and just stupidness, we went shopping at Gracie Lou's Quilt Shop. While there we found the perfect bag for a 'diaper bag'....purse? I promptly bought the items needed to make it. We then grabbed a burger at Berry's. For those of you who are not from the Spanish Fork area, these people have THE BEST burgers. Granted I have not been taking my medication as I should so just eating the fries caused a bit of a stomach upset. As we ate we drove to Kmart in Provo and the day after shopper in me came out. I rushed to the line and jittered around scared that I would not get my machine. Imagine my surprise when I find out that there is not one but THREE machines to choose from. Mom held my place in line while I choose which machine we would get. I went with the most expensive, but it had all the best features and who can say no to that kind of a deal? One machine, a collection of all feet made for the machine, and a carrying case later we were on our way.

All in all I am still very excited. I have only had a few minutes to work with the machine and can't wait to start working on it. Hello old projects that really need to be finished! I can't wait to work on new Christmas projects.

Other than my new toy, lets see...what is new in life? My little brother is on a mission. I am sure that I have mentioned this before, well I received a letter from him last week. We have not written in a few weeks as he just got out in the field and we did not have his new address. I am sending a package tomorrow. Can't wait till I get his response to it. My friend KT or little Katie from high school is coming out this spring! She just had a baby two months ago. I can't wait to see him. Hopefully they will be able to stay with us or at least hang out for an evening.

David is trying super hard to be a good husband. We had a couple rocky weeks, one in particular where he choose his friends over me. I did not take that very well. We have been discussing the baby topic quite a bit and know that we need to make sure we are in a place we are comfortable with before changing our lives forever.
