Great Weekend

Wonderful weekend - actually a fun weekend for me.  Poor Steve has been so sick he didn't get much out of it other than sleep.

A cute couple from our ward showed up singing carols for us.  I didn't manage to catch a picture of them.  Kristin had my camera in her purse, but I grabbed a copy of them off of Facebook.  (Thanks Rebecca)

Kristin came in town for her friend's wedding.  I'm anxious to get a copy of the pictures of her.  It was too cute and she was miserable.  She thought the dress was ugly (red brocade), it was short and she was nervous about bending at all, and she had to wear her cowboy boots with it.  She got up really early the morning of the wedding to get her hair done and didn't like the way it was done.  All in all it wasn't a happy experience for her.

However, she was way too excited.  She finally let her Altima go to rest.  She'd been driving it since she returned from her church mission nearly 12 years ago.  It had nearly 200000 miles on it.  The motor mounts were shot and the shocks were gone.  The mechanic said there were just too many problems with it.  Alot of the parts in the engine were rusted.  She mourned losing that car (seriously?)  So the day of the wedding she bought her a new car before driving home and made it to the wedding rehearsal with about 15 minutes to spare.

Saturday was just way too busy.  We took Sue to Irving to take her granddaughter's stuff to her daughter's house, came back and went to Albertson's to get the makings of sausage balls for the ward Christmas party, picked up an order of 40# of chicken breasts; came home and made sausage balls; delivered to the church for the party; came home and froze the chicken; and finally did my dialysis treatment.  Wore out completely!

Sunday morning had a horrible time just getting out of bed.  I did make it to Relief Society though and really enjoyed the lesson on gifts of the Spirit.  Thanks Margaret.
