Kind of a Sad Day

We all got released from our callings at church yesterday. I guess that's it then. Time to move on. We haven't figured exactly when we are moving - still have cleaning to do and selling our house so... But it will be weird for everyone to just go to church and have no responsibility.

Look What We Got Today!

I met our builder, Ken Gale, out at our house this morning and received this from him as well as our new house keys. All of the inspections have been done, and we are ready to go. And all less than four months! There are a few things that Ken is going to still do like the tiles on the tub in the master bedroom haven't been installed yet, nor have the mirrors in the bathrooms gone up or the shower door. That is about it, except the parts that we need to do. We have clean-up and finish painting the girls bedroom are the things we have to do before moving in, and then some things we will do after we move in. Pretty exciting!

TAGGED!

Well that was a pain in the neck! I am an incompetent blogger and couldn't for the life of me figure out how to get this tag image onto my blog. I tried what I thought was the most logical quickest way to do it, but noooo... I had to make it into a jpeg and copy it into a folder and then find it on my computer and... And then I didn't like the way it looked so I had to do it again...So you can see I am pretty incompetent in this area. Plus I am not very successful in making links yet either, so we will see what happens when I go to try that at the end of this posting when I attempt to tag other people. I really need lessons - where is that enrichment class? And I have short term memory as now I can't remember what I am supposed to talk about in this tagging. What a way to start my day - already feel like a dork!

Okay - so step one says I am supposed to link to the person who tagged me. Well, my first attempt didn't work. And my second - and the help center told me it couldn't help me with my request, so now lets see. Hmmm. I have done this once before, so I should remember how this works. My friend who is making me struggle and work hard at something I am not good at, is actually appreciated as hopefully I will remember all about how to make links, since I have to make quite a few with this tagging.

The Next Day - finally to step two - I will get there yet. I almost forgot what I was supposed to do here since I got so sidetracked with my first sentence for the day. But I know - seven random or weird facts about myself. That is hard as I try hard not to be random or weird...unsuccessfully of course, but I do try to kid myself and my kids (and especially other people) that I am very stuffy and straight-laced and serious, and usually it works. So I guess that would count as my random fact number one, especially since there are only few people that know I am really super casual and laid-back and even weird.

Almost Day Number 3 - It will be in 30 minutes. Six more random facts.
- President Faust sat at my desk in my bedroom and conducted temple recommend interviews when we lived overseas.
- I would love to learn how to paint. My kids took a class and it looked like a lot of fun and some of my kids were very good at it too. Conner was just a toddler and I knew it wasn't practical at the time for me to take the class along with them, but I would like to some day.
- I bruise super easy. Practically if anyone looks at me cross-eyed I get a bruise.
- I very rarely get the hiccups. I usually swallow them and they are gone. This makes my kids and husband very mad as they get the hiccups rather frequently.
- I used to have an embalmed baby shark. We had dissected sharks when I was in seventh grade and the mother shark had four babies inside of her. I got to keep one, and my dad stuck it in embalming fluid. I had that shark in a jar for about 15 years or so.
- I am extremely afraid of heights. It even makes me nervous when someone else gets close to an edge and I can feel myself go into panic mode.

So that is it. Now I will have to see if I know enough people to tag that haven't been tagged. Looking at my list - I guess not, sorry guys, I haven't been blogging for very long so I really don't know that many people yet. I guess I will tag Rochelle. I had a few more people on my list, but the links weren't working and I am tired of playing so I am going to post this and be done.
