6 month check up

I had my 6 month check up today.  They are lowering the meds from 3 to 2 pills.  My blood work all looks great.  My blood pressure is still low - 122/76 - last year at this time it was borderline high, I had been doing a spin class for about 7 months when I went in last Aug and was told I had lowered my blood pressure.  Someone said that it must be the exercise.  I was thinking it must be the fact that I no longer work with stressful, nasty people.  Well, today I had it confirmed, I have not been able to get in to my spin class in over 6 months and yet my blood pressure is still low.  It is funny how the Lord works and makes sure you get what you need - even if that means having you live in, what seems like at the time, horrible circumstances.  Then you are given that tiny thought that it is time to try something new and when that new thing comes along, how much better life seems - the tender mercies given at the right time to lift and support when we most need it.  It is all part of the growth we need to endure to the end!

Question for the week/month

What is the last book you read and what are your thoughts on the book??? Mine is the Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins.  Once I got into the book, I could not stop reading.  We first only bought the first book but then by the time I was done with that one, I ran to Costco to get the second one that just came out.  I am now waiting for the third book (no idea when it will be released but I am hoping soon but it looks like 2011!)  And I just learned they are making a movie from the series.  For those of you that have not read the books, I don't want to say too much about them so you have the same experience reading them that I did.

Split Again

Our huge ward (over 875) finally split today!  This will have been our 5th ward split in 8 years in 2 different cities.  We are land locked now so hopefully we will not go through another split for awhile.  We are in the new ward so that means that we are no longer ward missionaries.  They only called the Bishop this morning so he does not even have counselors at this point.  Who knows what our new assignments will be - the possibilities are endless.    It is always fun to be in the new ward, starting fresh, never knowing where we will end up nor who we will be able to work with and get to know.  I am excited to see where this adventure takes us.

I am getting old!

I went to the eye doctor two weeks ago and was told that it is surprising that I have never had glasses.  So I was given a prescription for glasses - my one eye is like 160 and the other is like 40 or something.  So today the glasses came in.  My eyes are not liking the adjusting - 33 years of trying to focus on their own and now they are being forced to focus on the correct things. This is the first year that we are not having Santa play a big role in our Christmas presents.  It seems to be working out much better this way.  Small Bugz has even asked how we do stockings.  If we get up really early and do them.  He will get to help with that this year too. We are planning to go see Invictus and Sherlock Holmes this week. Anyone have any opinions on the government health care plan???
