Baking!

I love baking!  I just had to get that out there.  I've been baking all week and will continue to bake until Sunday getting ready for Conner's farewell.  So far I've made danishes as a trial run on Sunday to see if they turned out alright because I made them from scratch.  They turned out great so I'll be making them again on Friday and Saturday. ( they take 2 days to make).  Then I made lemon poppy-seed muffins, banana bread muffins, and I just finished making chocolate chocolate chip.  I'm out of eggs now though so there is a break until I get more.

Tubes in the Ears!

Today we took our little girl to get tubes in her ears.  After like 6 ear infections in the last year the Ear Nose and Throat doctor thought it was best to get the tubes to hopefully stop the ear infections.  We hope it works.  We hate having a sick little girl.  We got to the surgical center bright and early in the morning.  Got her all checked in.  Waited till it was our turn.  Then went back and got her all dressed for surgery.  She got a yellow hospital gown with Coyote and Roadrunner on it, little white socks, and a blue hat for her hair.  There was a little play area for her to play in till she went in to surgery.  So we hung out there and talked to the doctors and the nurse.  Then they took Cicily away for the surgery and we went back out to the waiting room.  The surgery went really fast it only took 7 minutes.  She was really upset when she woke up though.  The nurses said it was because she felt drunk and didn't really understand what she was feeling and it was really uncomfortable.  She's done really well today considering the only thing she doesn't like is getting her ear drops.

My Husband!

My husband is the greatest in the world.  He's sweet, kind, and always thinking of others.  He worries about me and our daughter.  Trying hard to always balance work, school, and our family.  He always wishes he had more time to spend with us.  He holds me when I need to be held and knows how to get me to talk when I don't want to, but need to.  He knows the right things to say when I'm upset.  He listens to me and always tries to help me be the best I can.  He remembers every holiday, birthday, and anniversary, and is usually first to say happy valentines, anniversary, or other.  He loves to dance and make people happy.  If someone asks for help he's almost always there. And what does it say about him that when I was 12 I realized I wanted to marry him and compared every other guy I dated to him and no one was ever better then him. 

Nightmares

I was talking to my mom about my nightmares yesterday and she told me I should write them down and since this is kinda like my journal this is where I'll do it.

A couple of nights ago I woke up and this is the nightmare that woke me.  

"Nick had died while I was with him.  I don't know how or where, but we were in a white place and I was talking with heavenly father and asking him if I could go too.  He told me I had to stay on earth and that I couldn't come with Nick.  I was begging heavenly father to let me go too or make Nick stay and he said that Nick had work to do in heaven so he had to come to heaven and I had to take care of Cicily so I had to stay on earth."

Needless to say I woke up crying and didn't go back to bed.
Nick gave me a blessing the next night before I went to sleep because I was so distraught all day, and this is what I dreamed that night.

"I was walking down the stairs at the conference center in Salt Lake to the parking garage and at the bottom of the stairs was President Eyring and President Uchtdorf and as I came down the stairs they were going up and President  Eyring turned to me and said You know that dream you had last night it was a warning."

So of coarse I was crying again and didn't go back to bed.  I talked to Nick about it and after he left I went upstairs and prayed fervently to heavenly father to protect him and help him listen to the spirit so that he would stay alive and this is what came to me. 

"Be still and know that I am God.  I love you , and I will protect you and help you.  I will protect your husband if he will listen to the promptings of the spirit."

I felt so much better and a sense of peace. So I called Nick and told him he better listen to any promptings no matter how small.
