Josh Preference

 Josh Preference...

Emilee

Saturday 17: Dad, Jenna, and I went to Emilee France's funeral at the high school. We have been thinking about and praying for their family constantly! 

Josh, Wisdom Teeth (add videos later)

Thursday 15: Today Josh got his wisdom teeth out! I went with him. He was pretty out of it when he came out and slept most of the way home. When we got home I tried to get him to get out of the car and he started to fall over. I was trying to hold him up -- he was halfway in and halfway out and then proceeded to throw up on the garage floor. (At least it wasn't in my car!) But I wasn't sure when to do, because he couldn't stand up and I didn't want him to fall over. I thought dad was on his way home and so I tried to call him to come help me, but he didn't answer. Finally he was able to stand up and walk with support and I helped him get inside to the couch. We got some pretty funny videos! A little later he called Bridget and talked for a while. When dad got home he sort of interviewed him and got some funny footage. Later Bridget came over and brought him a smoothie. I sure hope he recovers quickly! 

Happy Valentines Day!!

Last week was Parent Teacher Conferences at the middle school. I hadn't been in a few years and decided to go. It was fun to meet Jenna's teachers. They all RAVED about how wonderful she was. So it was fun to be able to come home and tell her all of the compliments that I received from her teachers!

Monday 12: Today I worked from 10-3. Then I turned in a new W-4 form. Rick started doing our taxes... the good news is that we made way more money than last year! The bad news is that now we owe $9000.00 in taxes!! (It ended up being quite a bit less than that, thank goodness, but I can't remember how much). That was really depressing news! So we had to update our W-4 forms for our jobs so that they take out more money next year so that we won't be hit with such a big unpleasant surprise! 

Tuesday 13: This morning I went to the temple for an endowment session. Afterwards I went home and ate lunch and then went to UT to interpret for an afternoon class. Tuesday night Jenna had hip hop. Sami wasn't feeling well and stayed home, and so I had Jenna drive both ways for driving practice. She did well! 

Wednesday 14: Today was Valentine's Day. Jenna went to the temple with the young women at 5:15 in the morning. Rick still wrote love notes for everyone and left them on the table, and I had purchased some candy to add with the notes. 

Josh participated with singing valentines with the Madrigals. But they hadn't advertised at all and so they did hardly any. He said that they weren't allowed to drive around different places anymore after the experience Janelle had in 2019 (a little fender bender). I don't know if that is true or not. I am sure they would have a lot more if they had actually advertised. When I went to Jenna's PTC last week they were selling candy-grams which they delivered today. I had bought one for Jenna, and so that was a nice little surprise for her. 

Rick and I both worked today and then we had a nice dinner. Instead of the traditional Valentines Day breakfast (since both kids were gone in the morning), Rick made a nice steak dinner instead. He had given me a coupon for a full-body massage that night, given by him. So that is what we did! It was really nice! That was something I didn't realize how much I needed until I received it! Then I stayed up and watched a romcom (The Wedding Planner) with Jenna. Nice day!
