School Starts!

Just like so many others I've spoken to of late, school starts for me later this month. I've enrolled in a couple of online classes at Weber State University. I took only two classes, six credit hours, partially because I waited too long to take some of the other classes that I was looking to take and partially to get back into the swing of taking classes. I've heard that taking classes online is much more difficult, and I've heard that taking classes weren't too bad. I'm excited and a little nervous, starting school again in the fall.

CPAP Update

So I'm still getting used to my CPAP machine, but I realize that it's doing its job. Went camping for four days, and the tech said that I shouldn't use the machine off of an extension cord, I didn't use it at all. I felt exhausted each morning when I woke up and felt run down through the day. I realized that even though I still toss and turn a bit, I'm getting much better sleep than I had been.

Sleep Study Results

Today I met with my Doctor to get the results of of my sleep study. I had an interesting time at my sleep study, and I learned a fair amount about Sleep Apnea and how to recognize the symptoms in myself. I was told that I have a severe case of Sleep Apnea, which wasn't really a suprise to me. The Doctor told me that people have 5-7 apnea incidents a night. I was above 92% per hour. (I will admit that I don't know everything that I'm talking about, but I'm trying to give as much info as possible!) He did say, however, that once I got the mask on, my sleep became much better, and it didn't take a lot of pressure on the machine to help me. Now I have to wait until the Doctor's nurse contact's my insurance. Once that happens, the insurance will contact the provider of their choice to provide me with my sleeping machine! I'll post again once I find out how well I sleep!

10th Anniversary

Today is my 10th wedding anniversary. In one hand it seems like yesterday. On the other it feels like we have been married for a lot longer.

I am very lucky to be married to the most wonderful guy. Nick is my best friend and I love him with all my heart! He does so much for me and keeps me on the strait and narrow.

As I look back over the past 10 years, it makes me excited for the 10.

New Television Show

So Heather introduced me to a new television show called "The Big Bang Theory". The show is about a group of overely intelegent men who are socially unable to interact with 'normal' people, especially women. They are comic book fans, toy collectors, and gamers. They watch science fiction movies and television. It's sometimes embarasing to be watching, mostly because I realize that, with Heather pointing it out, that the main characters are much like me.

Employed Again!

Today I went and filled out pre employment paperwork with West Liberty Foods. I filled out an I 9 and took a brief physcial, and then I was told to report for orientation on Monday the 19th of January! After just over 2 months of unemployment I am finally working again!
Sadly it will be a swing shift again, 2-11. Heather and I have enjoyed spending so much time together and it will be difficult to be seperated again.

Primary

One thing that I forgot to mention that happened in December is Nick and I were extened a calling to be CTR8 Primary teachers. When we went to talk to the 1st councelor in the Bishopbric, I told Nick that I didn't want to go back into the primary. So when he extended the call for Nick and I to be team teachers, I told him that I would need some time. I didn't want to go back into the primary.

That night I prayed to know what I needed to do. I read a chapter in the Book of Mormon, and went to bed thinking that I would say no to the calling.

The next day I went to my mother's house to work on the quilts for Kirstin. While I was there, Tami (one of my co-workers) called me out of the blue. She said that she was out doing some shopping and that she was prompted by the spirit to call me. She thought that she needed to tell to accept a new position at work. But I knew better. I told her about what I was praying about the night before, and that is why she was calling. We talked for a few minutes, and I realized that I needed to accept the calling.

That Sunday, I talked to the councelor, and accepted the calling. I told him that I would accept the calling. Not because I needed it, but because I felt that it was either for Nick or one of the children in our class. I also said that Nick would have accepted the calling the night he first talked to us.

Last week was our first class. It is going to be really hard for me to like being in primary again. I think we have some really great kids. But I am going to have to truly trust in Heavenly Father to make it through. This is going to be my test.
