I'm so blessed.....

You know there are times in your life that you can't help but to wonder what if?? Today Jon got a email from a long time friend that we both worked with and Jon was his Best Man at his wedding and the girl he married was LDS but was inactive at the time. And we both hoped that she would come back and that he would see what he could have. Let me just start off by saying I look at my Husband and there are time's I am speechless of the Faith he has and the example that he is and doesn't even know it. I fail to see that people watch us and take things in good or bad and we should always be on the straight and narrow. Not always easy is it not for me I know that. but here is some of that email to Jon from his friend ~

"I have decided to get baptized in the Mormon faith on December 18th or 20th!! They tell me it will probably be the 20th which is a Saturday. And then I understand there is a second part that will be completed on Sunday the 21st. All of this is to take place at the “Sandia Ward?” on Eubank and Candelaria.



Since you are my best friend, and by the way, the one responsible for me becoming interested in the Mormon faith anyway (I was quietly watching you for years there & taking notes–BTW) which I am sure you already knew… I wanted to ask if you would be the one to perform my Baptism and be in the ordinance performed the next day on Sunday.

I always knew there was something different about you, and being the curious one I am, am very happy I decided to find out more about what kept your temper in check and how you were able to handle a lot of thing much better than I. I hope you can be there, it means allot to me. Thank you Jon for your influence in my life.."


Now reading that made me cry because I see all of that in my Husband and as I told him you might not know what you mean to people and what a blessing he is even in my own life I had nothing before him and he has blessed me in a way he will never know. And now my kids have a father they can look up to and I can only hope they will follow in his footsteps. There are some other friends that I know Jon was a friend in time of need even when he didn't know them. I have watched Jon pick up a man and carry him to the dinner table because he was weak! I have seen Jon sleep at a hospital beside a man he never met only because he knew it was right and to this day that brings tears to my eyes and yes they are very close even now! I guess what I am saying is people are put in our lives for a reason and at the time we might not know why but we need to be at our best an if that means we go out of our way to let them know what they mean to us then that's what we should do...That's what we are asked to do right. I love my husband and i love his sweet soul. just something to think about.

Another one bites the dust

okay let me just start off with I hate this time of the year for these reason's (SICK KIDS) meaning sick house hold!!!!! It goes around like a fly in my home 1st Jonathan(lil) and Jadon both had coughs and running nose's then Lorenzo got hit with bug, then Jon got hit,then Me on Sunday and now (lil) Jonathan has it... Man I don't know what else to do I have cleaned and cleaned trying to get rid of whatever is in this home. But Nope still here. When it hits one it hits another Love cold weather love to be warm in my bed with my hubby, love soup But hate the colds and the flu and whatever else is out there!!!! I hate to be so mad but I have cleaned more bedding and towels and rugs over this that I am at the point of pulling my own hair out... And the whole here's a trash can make sure you get sick in that my kids don't seem to get. And if you know me I do not do well with that it makes me sick and Jon it doesn't get to but he is at work today so here I am all alone with sickness.. And how I hope this is the last of it. And thanks to my friends that have thought about us with there calls and treats love it. That's one of the up side's to being sick!!

Great......

Great now i have a sick Husband!!!! So I made homemade chicken noodle soup whats better then that?? And Jadon isn't getting any better he started to have a fever last night and still has one today and his cough sounds worse then before but I'm giving him treatments and meds and i hate to take him to the doc when there going to tell me to do the same thing! (hate that) 20.00 dollars to hear what i already know.Anyway just a little update hope he's better tomorrow for his b-day!

Thursday the 13th and saturday the 15th

Wow here it is Thursday will be our 9Th year anniversary it feels like forever but I wouldn't give it up for anything.The only thing is , is Jon has to work but really what can we do with sick kids and being it's a week day? So this Saturday is Jon's Birthday so we will try to go out then. We will see if the boys are better by then. So we always split the year like Jon will do one year and I will do the other this year is mine and I really want to do something nice and romantic but with how the kids are feeling I don't think I should leave them with anyone and of course Bills will be coming so I just don't know what to do? Next year we said on our 10Th we will go some where so I can't wait! Man I love being with this Man he brings things out of me that no one has ever been able to do. He loves me with all my fault's and short comings and teaches me everyday. He makes me laugh when I don't want to and hugs me when I need it. he can look at me and know right away what i am thinking! I love being married and it's even better when your married to your best friend! I thank God for bringing this man into my life everyday! And I only hope I give back everything he gives me. I love how sweet he can be and on the other hand be so strong when I am so weak we have been through so much and yet we are still together and we are stronger everyday! We are ONE I love You Jonathan and thank you for being the father of our kids and the husband I always wanted.

Sick Kids( yeah don't we love that)

Okay so I thought I would blog I haven't done this in some time just haven't had much to say I guess. But My two little boys have had colds and with that comes Mommy being tired. Lorenzo was fine he showed not one sign of being sick and the other's were like running nose, cough that kind of thing and now that it's getting colder here I understood and that's why I hate for them to go to church sometimes because people will bring their sick kids and then what happens yours are sick now!!!!! (hate that) anyway so we all went to bed last night I hear some coughs and of course being a mom I know who it is and if it's getting worse it's funny Mom's hear everything, unlike Dads that either hear it and don't do anything or they really sleep that good, but anyways so I finally get to sleep and here it comes 2:04 am and what do I hear splash, splash,splash GREAT who is getting sick in my HALL? SO as many of you know I can not be around anyone that throws up! I just can't I can clean it if it's my Kids and only if it's my kids but I can't see it! So I wake up right away and I say "Jon ,Jon ,Jon finally he wake's up and says what! and I tell him someones getting sick in the hall get up and see if they are okay. Cause to Jon that doesn't bother him at all so he gets up and who is it Lorenzo nice so now I have 2 with colds and one that I think has 24 hr flu. So now where all up I'm cleaning the carpet and the walls Lorenzo is in the bathroom now on the floor and asking him if he feel;s good enough to go back to bed..the answer was (I guess)we put him back to bed and I gave him the trash can since he is on the top bunk which I think is why he didn't make it to the bathroom.. And asked if he was okay and then we went to bed, or I should say Jon went back to bed me on the other hand heared every little thing yes he got sick a couple more times through the night and this morning he said he hurt everywhere so He stayed home in bed or on the sofa and I took Jonathan to school but by this point I am dead tired so Jon goes to work and then I call him and tell him I need him back, so here he is.... I slept till 1:30pm I know but with this Lupus I have to sleep. Lorenzo just now ate some toast so that's good I hope it is just the 24hr bug!! And that none of us get it...... So I will be cleaning my house top to bottom when everyone is at school tomorrow.Don't you just love these kind of nights!!!!!
