Getting Crafty...

Okay, so Allisun was here the beginning of this week. On Tuesday, we had a whole day and didn't know what to do. We debated going site-seeing, but I don't think either of us were up for the heat and dealing with the kids, so we decided to "get crafty" instead. We made these 'H's for wedding gifts. While we were getting stuff for 'H's, we saw these candles, and decided to try glass etching. So, we bought 16 candles. We had this grand idea, that it would be great to have gifts on hand. Well, I just remembered I have no friends here...so...they'll last for a long time? Anyways, here are some pics...

Wednesday night I went out with Kari (Eggenberger) Bennion. Since neither of us will be at our HS reunion, we kinda had one ourselves! We went and got dessert and to a movie. Then, we talked in the parking lot of the theatre for about an hour before I got home at 1:30am. I have really missed my girls nights! I miss my friends from Oregon really badly! I am not meant to stay in the house. I have also realized I need a makeover. Too bad I have no one to get one with. I have these wierd growths on my eyeballs...I know...gross...anyways, they have their own blood vessels, so my eyes constantly are red. (The eye doctor said they won't do surgery to remove them until they cover the pupil of my eye, which will take awhile, so I'm stuck...) I am so sick of people everywhere saying: "You look so tired." (FYI, never say that to anyone. It's really not a compliment...why would you tell someone that? You might as well say, "You look like trash!" You especially shouldn't tell a pregnant person that... ) So, I have decided it's off to the mall to get a makeover...or something...I guess I'm getting old enough to have to wear make-up everyday. I wish I could go on What Not to Wear. My hair is getting so long, and it's so humid here, I never do my hair, cause it goes psycho, so I might as well cut it. I just don't know a good hair stylist here...maybe I can get Cari to cut it when I'm in Utah...

We found out this week, we are staying in Virginia until January. So, the company is now shipping our car out! WAHOO!!!!! Until it gets here, I have a rental car... EVEN BETTER! I am also flying to SLC next Sunday. Originally, if we would have been sent on assignment for over 6 months, they would have paid for 1000 lbs of our stuff to be shipped out. So now, after everything is packed and in storage (I have no idea where it's even at) they tell us we can ship stuff out. So, I get to go sort through hundreds of boxes for things to bring out. Mainly baby stuff (since the baby will be born out here), winter clothes and the remainder of my business stuff that we couldn't bring on the airplane (no use having stuff in storage when we could be selling it!). So, that is my exciting week!
