I wanted to try to start the new year better....

I really would like to put up pictures of Christmas, but I am in the process of getting a new computer. My husband has moved over everything to my new one, he is just waiting for Kenzie to finish a project on my old computer before he makes the change. Until then, he told me not to add any pictures to my computer or he will have to move them and he doesn't have time. So, I wait.

But here is a verbal update: I was reading my posts for last New Years. Apparently, Kenzie broke her wrist and Jay got in a wreck. Well, this year we are starting out about the same. Jay went to the doctor to have his blood pressure checked. He is on lots of meds for it and they monitor it. It was VERY high even on the meds so the doctor did an EKG. It came back bad, so he is having a stress test and an echo-cardiogram this week. Austin is having an echo on the 23rd of this month too. Great. Just great. I am very worried about Jay. He has lost 15 pounds, but the doctor feels his blood pressure is mainly hereditary, so the doctor made more med changes, but wants him to keep losing weight too. At this point, I am looking for anything to help. I need him.

Other than that, we are okay. Kids go back to school tomorrow. They are doing last minute bits of homework today. We also got haircuts. Austin finally got transferred. He is going to Oakland from Concord. He is Zone Leader now. That will be a great learning experience for him. He will be over all the missionaries that speak Spanish in Oakland. There are about 24. That will be good for him.

Hope you all have a great year!

Did I just hear that?

Today I was at W*lM*rt and I had the WEIRDEST experience. I can't wait to hear what you all have to say about it. I was at the self check out and the worker that handles those came over to Nini and put her hands on Nini's cheeks and literally put her nose against Nini's nose. Okay....don't know you, plus it is serious cold and flu season. I pulled the cart back quickly. The lady was talking to Nini and asking her how old she was and telling her how cute she is (she is that). Then she said to me, "where did you get her from?" That question threw me. I have been asked where she is from, what nationality she is, but never, "where did you get her from?" I said China, but was thinking, "does she think I got her from a store or something?" This was just the beginning of what was the MOST outrageous conversation I have ever been apart of. She asked me her name. I told her and she said, "Thank you! It makes me so happy to hear that name."...

Maylin's room

Here is an update on painting. The doors continue to be a nightmare. We don''t have doors on the girls bathroom and no doorknobs on any of the other doors. Hopefully next week. I love everything else. Many of you asked about the glaze in the kitchen. It is an oil based glaze that comes in black, white, brown. You roll it on with a small roller and then take it off with a rag, by blotting it. You can make it darker or lighter depending on how much you put on and how much you take off. Here are pictures of Maylin's room. I was scared to make a change with 2 colors, but I think I like it. I don't know if you can tell but on the pink paint it is a wash (first white swirly, then pink) with light white flowers like the top pink ones. I picked words to go around her room that may inspire her. The Chinese translation is underneath. Of course, we used Meng, that was her first name...Meng ni and they called her Nini. The words are in vinyl and the flowers were painted using a pa...

Happily ever after

NieNie Dialogues: April 15, 2019 Christian is the most important person in Stephanie's life. She made this post about him. She wrote about how much she loved him and he loved her. Every year she dedicates a song to him as they enter another year as husband and wife. She said, "Everyday I pray to God, thanking him for Christian. I thank God that he is my husband, my protector, and greatest defender. I thank God that Christian loves and respects me.......And I thank God that I will be with Christian forever and even to infinity and beyond." I am not married, but I related to this post because I love my dad. He is my protector and my provider. He really takes care of our family. He is so great. I can tell my mom loves him too. Even though it embarrasses me, I love to watch my parents hug and kiss. I am glad we are sealed together. After reading this post, I decided I needed to write in my journal characteristics I want in a husband. These are the things I wrote: Must l...
