My First Week

It wasn't even one week when the bishop called and asked us to speak in church. They didn't even have our records yet. I tried to get out of it, but he had a come back for everything I said and I felt bad saying no.

I woke up feeling really sick but made it through my talk. It was our first Sunday. Nice.

Our ward was so friendly and nice. Two different families invited us to dinner.
The jr. primary only had 7 kids! One boy in Sunbeams and Kade and Avary's class is combined. 5 and 7yr olds? Sr. Primary was almost all girls so, Hailey was overly happy. Some girls came and introduced them selves in Sacrament to her. I think she is going to like it.

They pulled us out of class and gave Ric a calling. 2nd counselor in the Elders Quarm. That must be a record or something we had only been in church for an hour.

The last 30 min. I got a killer headache. Came home and me and Kade started throwing up and were so sick all night. Then Kade threw up all over the carpet this morning.

Rental. Nice. Nothing like scrubbing barf out of carpet when you are trying not to lose it yourself. Oh yeah, our carpet is white.

Poor Kade had such a bad headache he was laying on the kitchen floor. He was scared because he thought he needed brain surgery. He even said a prayer and told Heavenly Father he didn't want to die. It made me so sad. I know how bad that hurts. Especially since I got one the next day. Like someone smashed in your scull and is ripping your brains out kind. The kind where you panic a little because it hurts too much. The kind of sick when you sleep in the bathtub full of super hot water because you are too sick to get out. We are still sick.

The kids still aren't in school because Hailey needs a second varicella shot. How the last 3 schools missed that? I'm not sure. I've been calling around trying to find somewhere to get it. Not one Paediatrics will see us until Feb. and they were all rude too. The only option is to pay out of pocket $120. Well what if I don't have $120? It's been ticking me off.
The Elders quarm pres, stopped by my house this morning (he probably didn't recognize me i'd been sick all night) he said he saw Az licence plates and knew it must be our house. I told him about our school problem. An hour later he called, he had stopped by a few places and got a bunch of numbers for me to call on his way to work. Umm, that was so super nice of him.

I can't say I have enjoyed my first week in Reno. And this week is starting to be pretty bad too. It can only get better right. Right?

On a happier note. Kind of.



Look at poor Kade he was trying so hard to play, but couldn't.



Hazel was happy with the snowman she made.


They made his hat out of snow. Cute.
