Can I PLEASE return these?

I can say today that I can't wait for Grandkids. Simply because then my kids will get to see what it is like to care for kids that no matter what their parents say they still fight.
I HATE DAYS OFF FROM SCHOOL. They should be banned. My kids love them! I think they spend the week

before thinking up ways to drive their Mom to the brink of madness. Then I spend the whole day wishing for Calagon to Take Me Away (the commercial lies you don't get swept away to Fantasy Island like it shows.)
So if you get a message that I am being taken to the NUT FARM, just know that I will still try to blog from there.
I hope you have enjoyed

Dragons!

Lately we have been dealing with some unexpected "Dragons." It came in the form of Prince Charming being "unofficially laid off" from Utah Stamping, I say unofficially because right now he is working for them so that he can get his unemployment. If he would not have gone back to work, they would have told the DWS that Nolan had "voluntarily quit" which then he would not get unemployment benefits at all. So right now he is at the mercy of this "Dragon" until further notice. It has made working for Utah Stamping a trial for him, cause he feels that its a dead end, and it really is. Working for almost 13 years for them, he feels like they are family, so he is torn.

So this "Dragon" has made it so I have not felt like blogging. I have also been busy trying to find work. I will be watching a little girl for a neighbor, which will help. School for me is on the back burner, I am still working on things, but Prince Charming is my top priority. Without this wonderful man I don't think I would have the courage to slay these "Dragons." He truly is my Knight in Shining Armor.

Among these "Dragons" we have had our share of "Silver Lining Moments" that help drive away the "Dragons." Uncel S and Aunt J got married in the Brigham City Courthouse on Jan. 21, 2009.
They had talked about wanting to do it but they hadn't been able to find a Judge that would be available that day. I called and arranged with Judge Kevin Christensen to do it that night. So I played a small part in the wonderful event. My wish for them is to be able to work through their "dragons, demons and just downright nasty villians that pop up in their lifes" and make it to their 15th Anniversary also. Unfortunately Uncle S had to go back to Okinawa on Feb 4th, we pray that he can come home soon, and that he will be safe over there. Prince Charming was ordained and Elder in the LDS church, by his Dad on Feb. 8th. We are now one step closer to being able to be sealed for "Time and All Eternity" in the LDS Temple. Prince Charming is going to be going back to school, he starts back tomorrow, I am so proud of him. I know he is nervous but this man can do anything. He is going to do great, I am behind him 1,000,000%.

I know that the hard times are still ahead of us, but I know we can make it through it all. We aren't facing this "Dragon" alone, we have the King of All Kings helping us out. With Him I know in my heart that we can make it through anything with him beside us. I love my "Savior" so much, He has never left me even when I haven't been the best person that I know I should be. I know that He loves me also. I know He love all of you also. Plus Kings and Queens always live Happily Ever After... that's just how it is.

Here are a few pictures of things that have happened since I last posted. We love you all and hope that you are doing great.

What Happened?

Sorry everyone. Life got a little busy. I made a slideshow so you can all see, just what we have been dealing with.

Thanksgiving we went to my parents house in Spring City. We had the best time, cause everyone from my family was able to make it. Black Friday was just the start to a busy busy month ahead. I believe it was an omen of what our next couple of months were going to be like. I had decided in July that this year I did not want to wait until the last minute to get Christmas taken care of, I wanted to be able to enjoy the time with my family. We had most of Christmas taken care of but for a few things that we thought we would pick up at the Day after Thanksgiving Sales. That was a joke! We nearly got trampled to death, you really see what people are really like in situations like this. I escaped to the Men's Department and hid while Prince Charming went off to get a few things, like the MP3 player and some videos. The Nintendo DS was not an option unless you wanted to die trying to get one. My brother we soon found out was being pushed around over a Kitchen Aide at another store, and my sister had the best time at the store she went to in Payson, which was good cause she had taken kids with her. I don't think that we will be going again next year.

Next we had my little brothers wedding on the 12th and I was so excited for him, but sad also cause that means I am getting old. His wife is an awesome gal and I am glad he finally asked her.

That next week I started working for Aspen Mills Bread as a sampler. I forgot what it was like to be on your feet constantly, I gained an appreciation for all that Prince Charming does for us though. I was so tired after working and my feet hurt terribly, that all we did mostly was stay home and veg. It helped us out alot cause Prince Charming's work shutdown for Christmas until the 4th of January.

Christmas Eve we spent with Prince Charming's family, his grandma always has a Christmas Party, then we went back to his parents and opened presents. Christmas was fun, we spent time down at my parents playing games with Uncle JR and Aunt SR, and then we came home and spent some time relaxing.

New Years we had a little get together here at home, with some of Nolan's family, his brother Uncle P came, Aunt J (Uncle S' fiancee) and her daughter C, and B and (Uncle S' 2 Boys) Uncle S was here via the webcam. It was a blast playing RockBand and just talking and spending time together. We took the boys sledding at a place close by, Belle went and slept over at Aunt J's and C's apartment.Prince C was down with the flu that next week, followed by Little Prince a day later, then Erica came in third. I was just glad that I didn't get it like I usually do when I have had to take care of sick kids. Little Prince had also banged his head and when we took him into the Dr. found out he had a slight concussion. We watched him closely, but he has a tough head. Prince Charming's work has been cutting back alot. So I have started to put applications in trying to find work. We have been spending time filling out apps and cutting corners as we can. Last Sunday we had gone to church, when we came home Prince C (who had not gone cause he was still not feeling the best) said that Uncle S had called and said he was coming home, something had happened. Well my first thought was that one of the boys got hurt or worse. That's how my head works, so I called Aunt J, we find out that the house he is renting to people, while he is in Okinawa, that the garage had been wrecked. But Aunt J had been by the garage she said, and she didn't think it was that bad. Prince Charming and I took a ride. As we were walking up the the front door, we noticed a lot of light could be seen out the back of the garage. She had looked at the front, not the back. It was bad. So then Sunday night, I started feeling clammy and got the chills, and so long story short the dreaded flu bug that I had thought had passed my by finally caught up with me.
