Need to Post Pics

Okay...so I know I am still long overdue in posting our pictures from Nauvoo. I promise it will be soon. I just hate uploading pics on here. It takes way too long. Anyways, I still wanted to write a little blurb anyhow.

We just wanted to let all of you close friends and family how grateful we are to have you in our lives. We our so grateful for all of the prayers and fasting that you have done to help us through this changing and trying part of our lives. We are thankful for the prayers, the fasting, the letters, and even the financial help that you have given us over the past couple months. We have been so blessed the past month to have been sealed in the temple and I feel as though that is what has really blessed us and given us the strength to move on with our endeavors. Thank you all for supporting us in our upcoming "trial" and for all the love and friendship you give us. We love you all so very much!

Furniture for Sale

So we have some furniture and other items for sale if anyone is interested. We are selling a bunch of stuff to get out from under our debt and to start an actual savings account..woohoo! If any of you are interested here are some of the links:

King Bedroom Set (4 piece) - http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/fuo/1099528870.html
Dining Room Table Set - http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/fuo/1099539831.html
Home Theatre Projector/Movie Screen/In-ceiling Speakers - http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/ele/1100166606.html

We did have some great TVs and a queen mattress for sale too but they went super quick. Goodbye to our nice big plasma televisions. We now have an mini 8" television which is the one we watch. I know...sad...but I would rather have savings than a couple of nice tvs. It's actually been really nice without them. I don't waste as much time watching television so I have the extra time to clean the house and read and whatnot. I think we were watching too much of it anyways.

For Time and All Eternity

Brick and I took out our endownments and were sealed yesterday in the Mesa Arizona Temple. It was a wonderful and exciting day for us. We had waited a long time for this occasion. It was also my birthday, so it was the best gift I could ask for. Thank you to all our friends and family that came to support us. We love you all.

Just a reminder....

Just a reminder to all you G-towners. It's election day tomorrow!!! Don't forget to vote for John Lewis for mayor....

Update!

A lot has happened in the Randall family this last month or two. Sorry I haven't posted sooner. First off, my sister Jenna had her beautiful baby Josslyn on Valentine's Day. She was quite the valentines baby weighing 7 lbs 7 oz (7+7=14) and was born at 1:58 am (1+5+8=14) on the morning of the 14th. She is sooo beautiful and looks just like both of Jenna's older kids.

Secondly, I got a part time job. I am working as an examiner for the State Board of Cosmetology. I help grade beauty school graduates on their practical exams, to see if they can get their licenses. It's just on Mondays, so it's a nice extra income without having to take too much time away from my clients. So far I enjoy it. There are a lot of nice girls that I work with, though it is a little strange to be on the opposite side of the test.

Thirdly, Brick was ordained an elder on Sunday. It was a wonderful experience and my dad gave him a wonderful blessing and ordination. We won't tell you that Brick forgot to hug his wife after the fact. :-) Now that that is taken care of, we are hoping to be sealed by the end of the month. It all depends on how fast the recommend process takes. We are really hoping to before April cause we are planning a trip to Nauvoo to visit his grandparents, and would love to be able to do a session in the Nauvoo Temple.

I also got a new calling in our new ward this last week. I was called to be the beehive advisor. I was so excited to accept this calling. I have always wanted to get back into Young Womens after they kicked me out at 18! I guess I never have wanted to grow up. It is a little nerve wrecking cause I have to teach the lesson every Sunday, but all the girls are so sweet to me it hasn't been that bad. I am especially excited to go to girls camp with them this year. I am, however, a little disappointed that we have to sleep in tents instead of staying in cabins at Camp LoMia.

So that is a little recap for the past month. It really needs to be a resolution for me to post more often!

Valentines Day Craft

So I thought I was done with my post today, but then Nikki sent me pictures from last nights craft night. We have been trying to do them every couple of months for the upcoming holiday. So here are some pictures from the valentine wreaths we made. They are simple to make, but are a little time consuming. They all turned out really cute though!

My Non-Productive but Fun Day

I have done absolutely no work today. I only have one haircut scheduled, I didn't clean the house, forgot to feed the pets, and realized when I went to Kohls today to return something...that I didn't have that something with me.

I did however get my hair cut again. It was in desperate need of one. I was starting to grow a mullet and starting to look like a boy. It was also a good day cause I was able to go to lunch with my friend Megan..who was my maid of honor...and somehow I haven't seen her in over a year and a half. I know..I am such a great friend. Well we went to Olive Garden for lunch for soup salad and breadsticks. Mmmmm my favorite. It was good to see her again and catch up.

I am also excited because next week I get to start up my voice lessons again. I was so sad when my teacher went on maternity leave, but now she is back and teaching one night a week. I was lucky to have her call me and see if I wanted one of which I am sure is a coveted slot in her schedule.

That is really all today. I know, nothing interesting, but if I don't post on a regular basis, I will have to go back to a huge post every few months. :-)I will post a picture of my new 'do soon.
