WEIGHT LOSS

I know it has been along time since I updated my blog. Like over a year. Things have changed around here, all of them good. The one thing that has changed that I am excited about is I have lost 11 pounds so far on my diet. I am excited and needed to share.

UGH!!!!!!!!!!!

Well it is a good thing I am leaving Utah for awhile because when I took Rachel to the bus stop this is what I saw:





This was a horrible sight. Disneyland here I come. (By the way we bought a new camera for the trip, because the one we had decided to stop working and all the pictures of gardener village didn't work right. These pictures turned out good huh?)

SCHOOL IS ALMOST OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After months of waiting and anticipating this day I am pleased to announce I am on my last packet for my school and I will be done. Hallelujah. I can't wait till I finish and my life can officially begin again. I haven't been able to watch one of our movies in a long time or really do much of anything with out the regret of needing to study lurking in the back of my mind. Hopefully I will be all done in a week. Fingers crossed.

Valentine's Day

For Valentine's Day we decided to head down to St George, we dropped the kids off at Lanita's house and off we went. We went to a matinee showing of When In Rome, it was funny, I really liked it, except for some parts. After the movie we decided it was too early to eat dinner (5:00) so we went to target and there I bought Ray his gift, I gave him Chuck Season 1. Then we decided to go to dinner. We got to Red Lobster around 5:30 and waited for an hour to get to our table, I didn't think we would wait that long because for one we were a party of two, and second there wasn't alot of people waiting at the restaurant. It wasn't until close to 5:30 when people started trickling in when I realized they had all decided to leave and come back so they didn't have to just sit and wait. Next year that's what we will do.
We got our food pretty fast and our waiter was good to considering there was a lot of people there. After dinner we went to walmart to get our kids some snacks for church and some other things we needed. Then we went to Best Buy because I wanted Chuck season 2 and no where had it except there, and then we headed home. It was a fun day, and I loved spending time with Ray.

What a week

This week has been a crazy one. Well I have decided to go back to school. I will go to school to become a medical transcriptionist. I am waiting for some more information to come my way before deciding which online school I want to enroll in.
Then Last night I had a startling thing happen.
Megan began to scream bloody murder, so I told her to come to me. I gave her a kiss on the head and I felt something wet. I look down and her head is covered in blood. I began to panic, one because she has blood all over her and two because I am home by myself. So I call Lanita to have her come and help me access the situation, I was so panicy I needed some calming. She came over and helped me clean her up so we could determine if she needed stitches or not. Luckily she didn't but man that gash bled alot.


Today she is okay just some bruising on her head and this little wound. Could my week get any more eventful? The things we go through raising our kids.

WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE?

Recent events have caused me to wonder what's going to happen in the next year. What is Obama, all of his advisors, and every member in the political office going to do to us. I watched Glenn Becks show all last week because it was a special five day program he entitled, REASONABLE QUESTIONS FOR UNREASONABLE TIMES. I was curious what that meant. During his programs he gave a list of questions we needed to ask our representatives and what they were going to do about them. I was apalled at the information Glenn was providing. Obama has surrounded himself with people who are known communist radicals. Representatives has passed bills or are going to pass bills to take away our rights to bear arms, rights that protect us from illegal search and seizures, and also our first ammendment right to free speach; to name a few. What is going to be next. Pretty soon they are going to take away our right to practice the religion we want to.

Glenn Beck opened my eyes to see what is happening to our country that was founded on the belief of Freedom, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Slowly I have seen members of the Government slowly take away our belief. I started reading Glenns new book Common Sense and found in it proof of government not following the constitution. A document they swore to uphold and to defend. I discovered that the Government we have now and have had in the past is not the kind of Government the Founding Fathers had in mind for America. Because I wanted to learn more about the government we are supposed to have. I started reading The 5,000 Year Leap, The Miracle The Miracle That Changed The World. In it I discovered some aweful news. I discovered that the Government we should have is not being taught in political science classes across the country, I found the opposite to be true. The college professors are teaching the kind of government we have now, that the constitution has no basis because it is an outdated document. This is shocking to me. How can that happen and I discovered it was the fact the people wasn't aware it was happening. The people of this country let it happen, didn't question it.
I am just starting my journey down a road I hope will help me understand what I can do to stop the Government from taking things away I hold dear. It wont be long till they start taking our families away from us for some outrageous reason or another. I want all the corruption to stop.

Having said this I am taking Glenn Becks Campaign seriously I am going to do everything in my power to help stop the corruption in our Government. I only wish I could be there when the March On Washington takes place on September 12. Sadly I cannot, funds don't allow.

Are you going to help in the fight for our freedom? if so there is a document I plan on sending to my representatives and ask if you are going to do the same? It is entitled In or Out 2010. The document lists five things every representative needs to ponder before passing anymore bills or whatever. If they aren't up to the challenge the documents urges us to vote them out in 2010. That's what in or out stands for. (I tried to upload the document but I don't know how. If you want the document its on Glenns website, wwww.glennbeck.com.)

My (Linsey's) Beliefs:
I believe in a place where my children can grow up knowing they are in a freedom based country. I believe that all Americans have rights that cannot be taken away from them. I believe in a Heavenly Father who loves us and wants the best for us which is why he has chosen this land as the promised land. I believe that Heavenly Father wanted us to have free land so he helped the Founding Fathers write a document that would change the world forever. I believe in a prophet who leads and guides us. I believe in the Book Of Mormon. I believe in Families. And finally I believe in a government who looks out for the citizens best interest and who also believes in upholding the constitution.
I am no longer burying my head in the sand and thinking things are going to get better. I am tires of elected officials going back on their word. I am no longer saying to myself let someone else do it. I don't want my children telling me later in life, "Why didn't you do something when you had the chance." THE TIME IS NOW TO GET INVOLVED BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. NO MORE.

All I ask Now is what do you believe?

The Waiting Game

Anyone who knows me know I hate to wait for things to happen or places to go.
For the past 3-4 months I have been waiting for Rays new job opportunity to happen so he could have a better job and work the hours that are ideal for our little family. I can't take it anymore. I found out we may have to wait till December to have his new job. I am going out of my mind. I have been patient long enough and it is killing me. I think I will kill myself before he gets this job (not really, but I said it for dramatic effect). All I have left to say is WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
