Today has been a good day. I woke up early and cleaned a lot of my house. I then took the green honda (it was my mom's car and then Diane's and now mine) and washed it good inside and out. I walked a little bit for exercise but every step hurts me because I have plantar fasicitas and I will probably go bike riding for exercise soon. I picked Heather up from her friends house and then came home to get ready to go to the Young Women's Confrence in Salt Lake City, Utah. We met with some good friends from Logan, Utah and ate some good mexican food and then headed over to the confrence center. I loved all of the talks and the music. I'm looking forward to General Confrence soon. After confrence, we had a snack at Cold Stone. It was a good night with my two girls, Lauren and Heather. Jeff stayed home with Trey at the house.
I have been studying for the Praxis test that I need to take the end of April to be able to teach in Utah. Jeff has put in for several jobs here in Utah and we are hoping to hear from them soon. If nothing works out for us here in Utah we will be heading back to our home in Alabama because we have land that is paid for there and a basement that is started. The children love their schools here and friends and they would love to stay here if everything works out. I also love it here because my family is so close. I have parents in Logan, Utah and brothers and sisters in Sandy, Provo and Draper Utah. I'm so thankful for the church and the strength it gives me in my life. The church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the church I belong to and I love it with all my heart and hope to be an eternal family one day. :) :) I love my parents, brothers and sisters, uncles, aunts, and cousins and the wonderful examples they have been to me. I am a Republican and also love my country and the Constitution of the United States. I hate to see what is going on right now in our government. My husband graduated from BYU in Political Science and loves politics so we keep up with everything that is going on.

The health care bill was signed into law today. I am totally against this and do not like the way our country is heading right now. The federal government is getting too powerful and too socialist! Some of our freedoms are being taken away and we will be forced to do things we don't want to do.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!!! Today has been a good day. I actually didn't have any jobs today so I went on a long walk and then went to the Orem library for a little while. It turned out to be a nice sunshinny day today. It suppose to be nice all week I believe. Jeff put in for some military jobs, so hopefully we will hear good news about that. It's kind of crazy right now since Jeff has been out of work for over a year now. Hopefully we will have some good things happen for us and our family. His work situation depends on where we will be living, so it's kind of important. I try to think positive and have faith and work hard at what I am doing and things will work out for us.

I just finished writing a long paragraph and found out it went to my daughter's blog instead of mine. This morning I looked on the Kelly website to find a job and two jobs were posted for substituting. Mountainville Academy is a charter school in Alpine, Utah (a school I worked at last year as a fourth grade teacher's aide) I went there Monday and today, so it has been a good week. The class seemed to like me and at the end of the day a cute red haired girl asked me to meet her brother that was in kindergarten so I met him and he had the same red hair as his sister. She said she liked me as a teacher, so that made me feel good. Jeff and I have been looking at some more houses in the neighborhood and also land that is for sale. We found some land that we really like that overlooks the gorgeous view of the lake; we are thinking of purchasing the land and building a house there near the same area where we live now. The wind was bitterly cold today and last night I heard it rumble on the windows of our house, it can get pretty windy here. It is suppose to snow and rain this weekend so winter is still lingering on for a while. My mom is in town with my sister Diane and her new baby Kate Donna Owen. My mom's name is Donna so Diane used the name Donna in her middle name. My dad is an amazing man and is working on a project that he has been doing for some time. My parents are great examples to me and I really feel blessed to have such wonderful parents.
