It's not very comforting when the guy about to stick a needle in you says, "My fingers aren't working very well today" at 7:15 in the morning.

I'm at the hospital taking my second glucos test because sadly I failed my first by 7 points. This test involves three hours of waiting so I figured I do some blogging; especially since it's the last day of the month.

So far things have gone well though like my last post said I'm way to busy for my own good. A part of me is actually looking forward to the three hour wait because maybe I can get some serious work done. I've already tweaked one of my essays and I'll be working on the templates for the website I'm developing as well. I guess being forced to get up and be alert isn't too bad.

This last week MiniFlash now called Speed - he wanted his nickname to be something cool and has recently feel in love with Speed Racer the movie - got to spend almost a whole week with us. It was my turn to see what it's like to be the time-to-get-ready-for-school mom and I think I did pretty well all things concerned. I had to change my schedule at work and missed some classes but I think if it came down to it I could very easily do this every day - minus the missing classes of course. But I won't be a student forever.

And I won't be this darn busy forever either.

Today is Halloween and one of my girlfriends and I are having a combined birthday party. My birthday isn't for another month and her's was a month ago but there's a running joke that we are twins and so we decided to have a little fun on Halloween this year. Flash and I already have our costumes picked out. There will be pictures and a post following this one telling you all about it.

I have a half an hour before my next needle poking session and I should probably work on that essay.

I Never Want to Be this Busy Again

You know you're too busy when the thought of "getting ready" for the day makes you cringe. And I'm not even talking about shaving, putting on make-up, blowing drying your hair, and wearing a nice outfit - you know the flawless look.

No I'm talking about simply taking a shower. When did my life get so crazy that the thought of needing to be clean even every other day was no longer a necessity?

At least my teeth hasn't suffered....yet.

From a Year to Eternity

On September 27th Flash and I were sealed together in the Boise, Idaho Temple. The year of anxious waiting melted away as we knelt across the alter together early that Saturday morning promising ourselves to each other for eternity.

When my alarm clock went off at 5:15 that morning my baby began moving with excitment feeling much like popcorn within my belly as if to say, "Get up! Get up! Get up! We're getting sealed as a family today!" She has never made movement like that during my pregnancy and I knew she was as eager as we were to join our family together.

The rites and ceremonies that took place that day were joyful and peaceful. The sealer's words rang true in my heart as he spoke of eternity, the resurrection, temple attendance, and love within families.

Here's a few pictures my mom took of our family and friends that came to celebrate this occasion with us:
