Update

So I have not updated the Blog for awhile. So here what has been going on. We had an anniverary dinner for Tobi and Grase on June 5th, it was Wizard of Oz themed. It went really well. We had the yearly Turner/King family reunion yesterday. Next weekend we are going to San Fransisco next week. We are leaving late Thursday night. We are meeting Tobi and Grase up there and then we are driving back with them on Sunday. The next weekend we have our District assembly. In August Karson is doing the Beer trip with my brothers and friends. We are going camping in September. So busy.
So the County has decided to do 4/10's for most of the County offices. I have been on modified duty of only 8 hour days but that ends at the end of June. I thought the County would go back to be opened 5 days but I was wrong. So now I put paperwork through to get my chronic pain as a disablility so they can accomadate me because I CAN NOT work 10 hours. It is very painful and and exhausting for me. Yah it would be a dream schedule if I did not have pain. At least I still get Fridays off.
We recently had our Circuit Assembly. It was so encouraging! I am so excited to go to the District for some more spiritual food.
I has started to get hot but not up to 100 yet. Oh it will come! Summer is the worst thing about living in Riverside County. It is hot!!!!!
Well that is about all that has been going on. We continue to be busy and when we get a rest it is nice. We are looking foward to our well needed vacation to San Fran coming up this week! Here are some pictures from the anniversary dinner we gave Tobi and Grase.

We have been so busy this month!! We have had busy weekends for like two months straight! This last weekend Tobi and Grase came to visit for a Lost marathon! They needed to catch up on season 6 so we tried to get them caught up. Of course they didn't finish but came close! Just 5 episodes to go, oh wait 6 now that one aired on Tuesday. Can't believe Lost is going to end on Sunday!!! We have a wedding on Sunday but should be home in time for the last Lost episode!!
In other news my pain seems to be getting worse and I have no idea why. It seems it is always changing. One pain goes away and another one appears! It is so exhausting. On top of that I have a new boss, my old one got a promotion, and I have to start all over with the new one. Also the county might be having everyone do a 4/10 (10 hour days M-Th) for the new fiscal year (July 2010) I can't do 10 hour days!!! I am on a modified schedule (8 hours M-Th) but it ends June 30th. If they keep the 10 hour days I don't know what I am going to do. Sure anyone else would love this schedule but i just can't do it with my chronic pain. I miss more days, come in late or leave early when I am on the 10 hour days. Since my FMLA (family medical leave act) probably will run out in a couple of months there is no way I can get away with missing so many days and hours without getting in trouble, or even losing my job. What can I do? Pray, I just have to pray they don't do the 4/10 schedule.
Karson has been working M-Friday so that is good. At least we have one of us working full time! I am so excited to be getting another niece or a nephew!! I am trying to spend as much time with Sofia and I will definitly be spending the first few days with them after the new baby comes. I did this with Sofia and I think that is why Sofia and i have a special bond. She gets so excited when she sees me, I love it!!! I want a nephew eventually but another niece will be fine for me!! I did not have sisters growing up so it would be nice for Sofia to have a little sister!
We have Tobi and Grace's anniversary dinner on June 5th and we find out the sex of the new baby on that day. I can't wait!!!!!
Well that is all for now!!!

Update

So we have just been trying to get our house set up this past month. We have so much stuff to still move in from the garage but we got the most important items in the house.
In other news I have lost a total of 12.2 lbs so far on my new diet. I had a bad week about two weeks ago but I got back on track. I also got on FMLA, Family Medical Leave Act, which protects my job due to absences. My doctor requested for me to work 8 hour days instead of 10 for a month to see if it helps my pain. I started my 8-4:30pm schedule on Monday 3/22/10. I already feel better!! It is a good thing the law protects my job because I have missed alot of work due to my chronic pain over the past two years. No doubt I would have been fired if I didn't work in the County.
Me and Karson are still off on Fridays and we are taking advantage of it by getting stuff done around the house and doing errands.
Well that is all for now. Not much going on. Our friend Stephanie is getting married in May so hopefully I will have lost 20lbs by then so I can fit into some of my nicer dresses for her wedding.
