Boys and there Toys

Let me start off by saying that I love my husband and I love the fact that he is very handy with cars. It saves us money by not having to deal with mechanics. But that has now come back to bite me in the butt. We have a new addition to our lives. "The light bar"

So I come home to this one day! (I told him he could have $XXX to spend on whatever he wanted for the truck) And this is what i find. and this is how the conversation goes (and not just with me but with everyone that he has to show!!!)

Me: So what is it?
Him: Its a light bar!
Me: What does it do?
Him: It holds the lights on!
Me: So what are the extra lights for?
Him: Extra light when i go off roading! (With a smile i might add)
Me: Where are you going off roading?
Him: I dont know!
Me: So do you think you will use these lights even once this year?
Him: No! But they look cool!
Me: You have to be kidding?
Him: Nope!!!

So later it goes on that he just did that for fun, but on Thursday he is going to do some real work on the car while I go shopping with a friend. I come out of our apartment to find this.

Do you see his hands actually touching the truck? Nope me either!! Before i got the camera he actually had his legs crossed just like he was hanging out watching a movie under there or something.

To be honest he really did get alot of work done on the truck. He was just trying to figure things out at the moment. But i died laughing. I guess that is the best part of our marriage. We are always making each other laugh.

Friends

I love having friends and especially having friends in all different stages of life. It really keeps life interesting.

Tonight my husband had a softball game with a bunch of guys from church that play in our cities church league. I was sitting there on a park picnic table with three of the other wives (all wrapped up in one blanket) and we were just chatting away. The youngest of us all is pregnant and so sick she hasnt eaten in almost weeks. I am the oldest and wisest of course but have been married the shortest, and the other two have been married for what seems like years.

We are just all so different but we looked like peas in a pod wrapped up in a blanket. And as i came to the realization of how different our lives were it made me so thankful for our church and having the spirit in our lives. It has helped me in so many ways and brought all of my friends to me that i cheerish. I live for going to those games to spend that hour with those girls and i would not have the chance if were not for church.

I also have friends that i work with that are not mormon and they are so far from mormon. I can see the emptiness in their lives and i would love to be able to fill it with the knowledge that i have but i know they are just not in the right place right now. (they have told me i am not being a bad mormon. )

Ok well that is all for today. I just hadnt written in a while and a friend reminded me that i havent done so. So thank you, because it made me think about what to write all day and more came of it then i ever imagined and i think i needed it. I love you and you know who you are!
