A Day at the Temple

Kari & Matt were sealed Saturday at 8am. Since the sealing was so early we decided to get a hotel for Friday night. We invited my mom to go to be Claire's Nanny while we were in the temple. It was great to spend that time with her. I don't spend enough time with my family. Friday we got to the hotel at about 4pm. At 7pm we went to dinner with with the McCallon's and Frugé's at Fuddruckers. Claire had a blast playing with the games.

Claire was super excited about seeing the temple. We show her pictures all the time. That whole week we were telling her that on Saturday she would get to see the temple. She talked about it constantly. Saturday was really good. The sealing was great. It was really cold though. Add that with my having a head cold, and it wasn't good. I tried to keep a smile on my face. The good thing about having the sealing so early was that I think we stopped at only 4 lights on all of FM 1960. We have never done that good!

The sealing and reception was awesome. Kari looked gorgeous, and Matt was very handsome. I hope it was a perfect day for them.

3 Years Down... an Eternity to Go

On November 19 Kevin and I were married for 3 years. It's been great! It hasn't been perfect, but I wouldn't change anything.

Signs of the Last Days

At Ladies' Night this month my friends were telling me about these pictures. It is hard to believe since I'm not in the middle of it that this is going on in the world. It was so sad to see these pictures. The picture of the family walking into church breaks my heart. It stinks that these people have to go through this. I'm so thankful that I have a strong testimony of the gospel, and that seeing all this doesn't waver that at all. I pray for the members there for the strength to get through this time.

Kevin and I had the wonderful opportunity to go to the temple on Saturday. Kevin's little sister Kari went to get her work done because she will be getting married on November 22. It was wonderful. I am ashamed/saddened to say that I do not go as often as I should or want. It was a great bonding experience for the Frugé family to almost all be able to be together on such a special occasion for Kari.

We were able to ride to Houston with Grammer and Grumps (Kev's grandparents). We stopped at the book store before we went to the temple and picked up some books for Claire for Christmas. Grammer also got her some books.

After the temple Grammer, Grumps, Kevin, and myself went to eat. Then we made the 2 hour drive home. We had a great time with no real bumps in the road. We need to go more often.

Sick & Tired...again!

After Claire got sick Monday and Tuesday I got sick. Thursday night I felt weird. I wasn't nauseous I just knew that I was going to get sick. Well sure enough the next morning about 9am the diarrhea and nausea started. I was so mad because it was Halloween, and Kev and I were going to take Claire trick or treating for the first time. Also, my in-laws always make chili dogs and frito pie on Halloween, and I was looking forward to that! I pushed through the fatigue and got Claire dressed in her Princess Aurora costume, fixed her hair, and put on her crown. I had to rest after that so Kev put her shoes on her.

We drove to Mid-County and stopped by Phil Bill's house, a friend of Kevin's at work. Before we left the house we practiced with Claire for about 5-10 minutes about how to open her bag and say trick or treat. She did so good at home and in the car, but when we got to Phil's house she got shy and told me to say it. After that we hit a couple more people's houses and went to Nick and Danita's place to visit. By that time I was feeling better so I made the mistake of eating some frito pie and a hot dog. About 10 minutes later I was in the bathroom! :( So I think Claire was a little too young to trick or treat this year, but next year she should do good.

You know when somebody in the family gets sick all of the family has to have a turn, right? I think that takes sharing a little too far. Anyway, so Monday Kev stayed home from work because he had a horrible headache and blurry vision. Then Monday night at about 11pm he started throwing up and having diarrhea. He was more sick than Claire or me. He was sick nonstop for 12 hours. We called Kev's uncle and grandpa to come at about 1am to give him a blessing. We then called Danita to come just in case I had to take Kevin to the ER. We didn't want to have to wake Claire up. Finally at 10:30 I was able to give Kevin some Fenergan that his doctor called in for him. After that he was able to sleep. It knocked him out pretty good. He's doing a lot better now. He's just really tired and sore from laying in bed for so long. He also bit his tongue at some point and it's pretty swollen in one spot. When Danita left yesterday she took Claire for the day and later decided that Claire was going to spend the night over there. She came home today saying that she had fun with D, Aunt Squirt, and Aunt Kim. I'm glad she was able to spend some time over there and that she had fun.

I spent today DEEP cleaning my house. I washed walls, fans, and even vacuumed the ceiling in the living room. I don't want any of us to get sick again. I also don't want Gianna to get sick when I watch her tomorrow.
