Family Update

Well I was going to do a new post a couple of days ago and realized that I needed to get my camera out of the van. However, our van was broken into on Thursday and they took our GPS System, camera, and the wierdest thing about 5 LDS CDs. So needless to say I was debating on what to do for this post. So I just decided to do just a post with no photos.

Ben and I decided that we needed a break from our stressful lives right now and spent 3 days in St. Louis last week. We stayed at a hotel in Chesterfield close to the temple. We spend most of Friday driving since we left late and then ran into construction. Hwy 40/61 is under construction so you can no longer take it down town. So we had to find a new way around. Thankfully we had our GPS at the time and that helped a little. We went to Union Station and drove around downtown. Drove by the Arch and took some awsome pictures (that we can't see anymore). I was sick on Sat so we didn't do to much moving around until afternoon. When we finally got out we went to the temple expecting to do a session when we got there they asked if we wanted to do sealing? Of course we said we were there for a session and they said the only thing left was the sealing. Being confused we asked what time they closed (4:00pm) and it was now 3:30 so of course we did sealings. So we didn't get to do what we wanted but aleast we did some work.

We went to Bass Pro Shop in St. Charles thinking it would be big like the one in Kansas City but it was just a little retail store. Ben got a tent so he could take the boys on their first father son campout in May. And then we went home.

When we got home the kids were still there and very crankie. My sister was going to take them to my moms for an easter egg hunt but hadn't made it yet. So she decided to take them still and we just kinda hung out till they got back.

The boys had spring break this week and they spent time with one of my brothers play games all day for a couple of days with him. He totally loved it since he only has a little girl that is not interesed in games and she is still kinda young. Then they came home for my birthday. Then later in the week the boys had a friend over and play games with their friends.

My birthday was Wednesday. They kids made me birthday cards and tried to give me cash as a gift (I couldn't keep it). Ben got me a mini-fridge to keep soda in so that I can wake up a get sugar and fluid in me without having to go down stairs. Since I am still really sick in the mornings. I love it!

Ben has been applying all over the place. Montana, Illionis, Colorado, Utah, etc. Montana is pretty much out the cost of a house there is outragous. 1600 sf house built in the 50's is $250,000. Way out of our price range. So we keep looking and applying and hope we find something soon.
