Just something.
I just felt like doing a blog post. My mind has been going 10,000 miles an hour (yes, I measured) and I feel like I need to spill some of it out before my brain actually explodes. That would be nasty and not very lady-like.
I hope everyone enjoyed their Memorial Day Holiday. I felt sorry for myself almost all day because we didn't have anything fun planned. Mostly because we had to empty our storage unit...and it took almost the entire day. I am sore and sunburned and it's not really how I envisioned spending my lovely day off work. But when I was in the car, the radio station I was listening to played a mix of voice overs with patriotic music. It was mostly wives talking about their husbands who were serving in Iraq or who had died while serving their country. It made me feel really guilty for being upset that I couldn't go swimming or hiking or do something "fun" today. There are people across the world working hard, and unfortunately some of them are dying, so that we can have the freedom we enjoy everyday. It was a good lesson for me. I'm such a brat sometimes.
In case you're wondering about Danny's leg--it is still nasty. It looks like a bullet hole now. I can't believe how big of a deal this has become. It's finally starting to look healed though. I want to post pictures on the blog but Danny doesn't like the idea. He said if people really want to see it, they can email us and we'll send them a link to the Picasa Web Album.....so......just.........let.......me...........know..............
I'm pretty sure I have anger issues :) Most of you won't believe that--but trust me, I think I do. There are certain people in my life who really know how to get under my skin without even trying (although, SOME of them ARE trying). I don't know why I let it get to me but I do and it's ME who is suffering by holding a grudge and having bad feelings towards them. That's all. I wish I could be more forgiving of stupid people. (KIDDING, I wish I could be forgiving of everyone) heh. :) In fact today while moving around a bunch of boxes, I came across the book "The Miracle of Forgiveness" and I think it's time to read it again.
Cole hasn't shown any signs of missing my parents' house which is good. He is REALLY excited about our new house (he refuses to call it an apartment) and loves that there are little kids around. He'll stand on the balcony and call out to the other kids until we either call him inside or let him go downstairs. Tonight he got filthy from playing in the sand with some kid named Jacob. I love how easily children make friends. I'm not sure where the "kid in the orange shirt" is. I haven't seen him for a while but apparently Cole needs to get himself a new best friend.
So far we really like it here. It's quiet, and I haven't even seen an official drug deal! Actually, I haven't seen anything close to one. Everybody seems pretty nice and we really like our new ward. We went for the first time on Sunday and felt like we'll fit in pretty well. The Primary is pretty small and there are hardly any YM or YW. The entire ward is made up of apartments which is REALLY UNUSUAL. The Bishop and a few other Priesthood leaders live outside the ward boundaries to give some stability to the ward. There's about a 60% turnover rate. I hope we're still here next year. We really want to stay until we make a more permanent move. Plus, there's a pool, tennis court, volleyball court and playground. I'll take that over mowing the lawn anyday.
We're still trying to unpack and get settled because this past week has been nothing but chaos. It kind of stresses me out when people ask if we're getting settled because we're not as settled as I'd like to be. Hopefully this week will chill out a bit. I'm sort of a basket case right now and I don't know how much more Danny will be able to handle.
Tomorrow David Archuleta's book comes out. I am SO JEALOUS for people who are buying it. I'm putting one on hold at the library but do you know how many people are in front of me? About 800. Not too bad.
Gotta go clean the kitchen.
Goodnight.
