We went to Disneyland with Chris and Connie on December 14th. We had so much fun. Suprisingly my hip did pretty well. It only seems to really bug me when I sit for long periods of time or if I stand in one place. We had fun and can't wait until we get to go again!! Chris and Karson got new beanie/hats since it was so cold. I bought some mickey gloves that go nicely with my mickey scarf. We also had a scavenger hunt me and Karson were doing for the muppets. The whole thing started when Marcel and Roni told us about the Muppet experience online. We went online and signed up. A few days later they emailed us with a link. When we went to the link it told us all about a time machine and time traveling that the muppets were doing. Well it turns out the muppets were lost in time and we had to help get them back. The first part was done online-it was really hard! After we were done with that they sent us what we needed to do at d-land. The reward? Knowing we got the muppets back into our time....and a cool map of what California Adventure is going to look like with all the changes they are planning. They are adding a light show where the lagoon is, building The Little Mermaid ride, making a new CARS land and redoing the whole entrance to the park. Everything is to be completed by 2012. I can't wait to ride the little mermaid ride with sofia and Grase!!!!
It has been awhile since i have written any posts. We have been really busy. We have gone to two baby showers for Grase. We helped alot for the first one. The second one was the family shower. Unfortunately we couldn't help as much because I was exhausted from moving.We have settled in our new house. One complication is the tile floors really make my pain worse. I did not expect that! We still have quite a few boxes to unpack but all the important stuff in unpacked. My hip has been killing me since we moved into our new house. I went to the Doctor again for my hips and they told me that the other Doctor had diagnosed me with Hip Bursitis. Most of my pain is in the pelvic area. Basically I am to avoid too much activity but try to do water arobics to get rid of it. I just got a stronger pill than vicatin and I guess whats next is steroids or needling and releasing the liquid. So I have been mostly in pain for a week or so now. At work there are stairs, no elevator, so this only makes my problem worse. Also I sit most of the day at work. The Doctor I saw said I would probably need hip replacement when I am 55 if I am starting with these problems at 29. Lovely. I finally got approval for an MRI which should give them a better picture of what is going on. My theory is adhesions (scar tissue) is the cause of ALL my pain. We will see what the results are. I am a little scared of the MRI because I heard you have to stay still for 45 minutes in a tunnel like machine. This weekend we have yet another gathering to attend. Then Chris and Connie are visiting and we are suppose to go to D-land on Sunday. I might end up in a wheel chair though!!! Hopefully I can get some pictures when we go to D-land. I am on so many meds right now it is not even funny. Karson fixed up our hot tub so we went in it for the first time and it was sooooo GREAT! It is like bieng pain free in the water. Well until next time......Dez
Well, it did not start off busy. We slept in due to me getting home at 2:30 am from Rosemead. Then I got up and started reading a book, and Desirae started going thru boxes. We broke down the boxes and put them outside and Desirae started Swiffering the house. (That brand has created a new word) We really wanted to go see a movie because we have not gone out together to see one in a long time, but we had stuff to do. I had somewhere to be at 3:00 pm and daylight was burning unusually fast. We were running out of clean cloths and needed to pick up the washer and dryer that our friends the Cruz's gave us. The appliances were in Redlands. So I borrowed Jimmy's truck, picked up my dad and drove out there. Got back, dropped them off, gave Jimmy his truck back, and dropped off my dad. I think it was about 5:30-6:00 pm by this time. I went to go take care of that "other appointment" I had at 3:00 pm and then had to go to Home depot to get a dryer vent. I barely made it, they were closing as I got there. They close at 7:00 pm on Sundays. I went home, and by this time Desirae already did two loads of wash and was waiting to dry them. So I installed the dryer vent. Then just when I think I am done, I find that the plug on the dryer does not match the one on the wall. :( At this point it is 7:23 pm and Home depot just closed at 7:00 pm. I went online to find that Lowe's is open till 8:00 pm, so I rushed down there. I got ditched by one employee that did not know anything about electrical and then another got me to finally purchased a new outlet for the wall. By the time I was done installing it and turned the power back on it was 9:30 pm. We ate Panda express and watched Stargate: Atlantis. Then we went to bed. Thank you for reading this boring blog ;)END OF LINE_

We went to see WICKED this past Friday at the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood. We got out there early so we went to have an early dinner at Canter's. The tour was before the show so we got to learn some cool stuff about the production. The show started at 8pm and our seats were perfect. The show was great!! It was even greater because we knew some of the secrets of the show because of the tour we had. I thought it was great and very funny too! I wish I could sing as well as they do!! On Saturday we had our dedication for our new Kingdom Hall. The first hour they gave a history of Moreno Valley with some interviews, history on the planning and finaly a video of the build. The second hour a brother from Bethel gave the dedication talk. It was very good and very encouraging. He mentioned some things I have never heard before. The whole thing was so encouraging. It made me sad I was not part of the building of the hall but we did do security so I did help a little. I think it was awesome because I learned more about the history of Moreno Valley and I heard a very good dedication talk. There are not many who can say they had a part in building a whole new KH!! Karson was born in Sunnymead, which is what it was called before it became Moreno Valley. The interesting thing is since there were no hospitals in town yet there probably is only a handful of people who were born in Sunnymead. Karson is special...he was born at home. I think it is neat to be part of a city that has seen so much growth. There has been 4 KH builds in Moreno Valley. Karson has lived through 3 of them. That is so neat to me. It might be the norm out here but in L.A. KH builds are scarse...there are mostly just remodeling going on. Sunday we went to meeting and had a suprise-Brother Frias gave the talk and he brought his family. I went to pioneer school with Brother Frias and my brother was close to that family. It was nice to see them! The rest of the day we just did nothing. We packed a few boxes...but we really are putting it off because we dread it. I hate moving. At least this time we are getting a year lease.FYI-our congergation is having a talent show/gathering on Dec. 20th. I am brainstorming what to do because I have so many talents to display...ha ha!Next Saturday is Grase's shower!!!!! There is only 2 months left before the arrival of the new Caringella girl-SOFIA.Dez
We recieved bad news on Friday. We were given notice that we have to move out of our house by Dec. 1st. Our landlord has to move back into her house so we have to leave. One month is not much time to find a house or pack. We are trying to house hunt and I dread the packing. Thanksgiving falls at the end of the month so at least we will have four days to get our move done. We were suppose to go to San Diego that weekend but we just moved our visit later in the year. It started off the weekend bad but we had a great weekend. On Saturday we hosted an Anniversary dinner for my parents and the whole family came, as well as Jim, Cheri, Keri, Jimmy and Kelly. We had a nice turkey dinner. Cheri made her awesome mashed potatoes and Kelly made homemade stuffing. All the food was great. My parents really enjoyed it. They loved the gift we gave them. We had done a photo shoot with all the family (besides my mom and dad) at one of our childhood parks. We made my mom cry so we were really happy. The pictures came out great and I will post some later. Sunday we just relaxed and looked online for houses. We are not looking forward to the moving part because it seems like we move every 6 months!!! We wanted to stay at this house but we don't have a choice now. This coming weekend we have our one day assembly and I am looking forward to that. Thats all for now.Dez
