1, 2, 3 Babies!

The following was supposed to be posted last Monday, so the news is a 2 weeks old-Sorry!

Grandpa Bill is now officially a Grandpa! His son and daughter in law had a baby girl last Monday. Bill got back from Huston and we went and out to Sicily's to celebrate.

Apparently my family also had an eventful week. I found out that Mom was in a car wreck. She's fine, but they say the car is totaled. It was snowing and she got sideswiped by another car. As for good news, M got a job! He's a maintenance worker at the new Marriott Hotel in Logan. Yeah!

Wednesday, Candice invited me to lunch and we went to Duffy's Diner. It's a fun old 50s diner with jukeboxes and all the waitresses wear poodle skirts. They have deep fried corn on the cob and fried okra, along with other yummy things. I had the daily special, which was a poboy and fries. It was my first experience with spicy ketchup (made by Tabasco, of course) and I liked it…Ketchup with a kick!

For some reason, I woke up late on Thursday and had to fight to stay awake all day. I got home just as Linda, my V.T. partner, came to pick me up and we went to visit some ladies. I didn't get back until after 8 pm…It was a long day.

Friday, I finished the last book in the Underland Chronicles. They're written by Suzanne Collins, the same author who wrote The Hunger Games…I love all of her books-they're amazing!

Today's Post (3/23/2009):
Last week was another crazy week. My director, Kathy had her baby on Monday!

Tuesday night was our Relief Society Birthday Party. The theme was Becoming an 8 Cow Woman. We went around to different stations such as Cash Cow (learning about finances) and Holy Cow (ways to do family scripture study), etc. It was so fun!

Friday, I stayed up and met Candice at Wal-Mart for the Twilight Release Party at Midnight. I got home, slept for 3 hours, and then got back up to get ready to go to Baton Rouge. Stephanie and I drove over together. We had a Training Meeting at the Stake Center, and afterwards, we went to Cold Stone for ice cream. It was the first time I've been to Cold Stone and I had the Cookie Doughn't You Want Some:-) It was good. Our friend Denise called and said she was in labor, so Stephanie went to see her at the hospital in Lafayette and I got Rosie and watched her for the rest of the day.

Three baby girls in three weeks!

Gotta Run...Love You All!

Spring Forward

Highlights from last week:

Sunday, I received a pot of gold from my Secret Sister :-)

Wednesday, I started the computer classes at the Loreauville Branch. It's a cute little library with pink walls!

Friday morning, I picked up my new glasses before work. I like them…
Friday night, I went to Stephanie's to do my laundry. I stayed for dinner and Josh and his daughter, Abby, joined us, as well as the Cotton's. (Josh is our Sunbeam Teacher in Primary). The house was crawling with people after the missionaries stopped by!

Finally, Saturday I was up at 4 am to go to Baton Rouge for a Genealogical Seminar. I went with Linda, our Parkview Branch Manager, to the Louisiana State Archives. It was so amazing!

Enjoy the rest of the week!
