I'm gonna be a Grandma...actually a Nana.....

Ok so I never really know what I am going to write about when I decide to post so i grab a few pictures and go from there....First and most importand "I'M GONNA BE A GRANDMA" hope this is with the right picture of course, but yeah, we celebrated Jodi and Aaron's 1 year anniversary Sunday..Had left over cake and a new cake,,,and we also had left over gumbo from their wedding...I was smart enough to can some of the leftovers and there was just enough for all to enjoy...Thanks to David Caillier...mmmm mmmm Good....David didn't get home until about 6:30pm from work and as we all set around the table Kyle comes running in with a home pregnance test...my first thought was where in the world did he get this...then on to where is my glasses so that I can see what it said...I know, it finally clicked that Jodi and Aaron were the only two to get pregnant at my house that night and that she wouldnt have had Kyler bring it to us if it wasn't positive...so needless to say I still don't know where my glasses are...Thought it was kinda funny, we were all around Jodi getting hugs and such, cause that's how we roll, but Aaron says "Hey, I had something to do with this" I almost hugged you for that Aaron...but did a high five instead...just so you know it was worth a hug...i did notice that grandma Mary got one from you...haha...anyway, what more can i say,,,just imagine a little Jodi are a little Aaron next Christmas....makes me smile...
on to the other two pictures in my post...what a great Christmas we all had...It was sooooo good having everyone here for Christmas...With Dale and Chrissy so far away and Jodi and Aaron having 2 families now I think it all worked out great....We did eventually have to wind the Holidays down and Dale and Chrissy headed back to the books and looking for a job...David loves to travel in the winter so he invites me to a get away in Arkansas....we had 4 whole days to ourselves....we watched movies, read..snuggled by the fireplace and tried to stay warm...it was -2 degrees the morning that we actually headed home...David did some hiking..not for me when it is that cold..are for the most part at all...There was lots of beautiful sunsets and sunrises,,snow and ice to be seen...I had my moments when i was not a happy camper so think I will share one of those moments....to start I don't like traveling in the winter,,,hate it as a matter of fact...but went along for the fun..so we travel 9 hours to get to our cabin at the top of a mountain and it was great but as we hit the last two hills my truck is having much trouble getting up there...at one point we are at a standstill with David reving the engine, a sign to my left that says 7 people have died here and my fingernails in the door handle...we did make it to the top, i wondered for a bit why am i here, then enjoy the rest of the week ...until thurs. night got there and I started wondering how was i going to get back down those hills....I fussed a little to David..ok..maybe more than I should have...ended up very Sick in my stomach...crying, sick, can't stop shaking...i know having a breakdown is how i should put it..and David ask "Don't you trust me?" I said 'NO"...cried some more..not funny...then once again David looks me in the eyes and says "Don't you trust me?"I had to stop... how crazy am I? Here I am with a Man that has always taken care of me...more importantly holds the Priesthood, me praying saying help the ice to melt before we leave, and I realize that I needed to really excersice my Faith much more than I was...I was not doing a good Job at it at all..I realized that it is easy to say we have Faith in our Lord but sometimes much harder to actually lean on it...So I said yes...I do trust you, and I then I prayed for peace in my mind...David said he thought that I was snoring before I even hit the pillow, and I think that I was because I slept so good that night...not a worry in the world...I woke up with such peace and gratitude for my Heavenly Father and the Priesthood that my husband holds so that he will know what he should do...Needless to say, we made it down those hills and curves without a single problem...What a great week it was and such a learning experience and reminder of Having faith and really letting go and using that faith...so for now this is the end of my blog except to say Thanks Jodi for getting rid of the fall foliage and making me a pretty blog page...Love you all....mom
