Amazing Guy

A great friend of mine passed away April 14th in a motorcycle accident. He was married and his wife is pregnant with their first baby. I am sure he is teaching the gospel to those on the other side.

He was one of my first home teachers when I moved here and he was always so genuine, thoughtful and kind. One morning I called him to see if he could come help me change my flat tire. He was just about to head to school, but instead he skipped class and came right over to help me. We took the flat tire into a shop and while we waited he took me out for breakfast. He also opened my door getting in and out of the car. Never failed. He was just that nice.

Janey turns 1 years old!!

Three weeks after Olivia passed away Janey turned 1 years old. Were not exactly sure the day they were born, but we do know it was this month so April 1st we celebrated Janey making it a year (when a cat has feline leukemia you don't know how long they'll live so a year is a big deal).

 

Janey got to have real human tuna on the birthday plate. I think she might have gotten a new toy, but not sure. She is so spoiled! She is such a sweet kitty. It quite odd, but a new thing she likes doing is playing chase. She likes me chasing her. Pretty funny!

Miss Olivia

Precious Olivia passed away March 3rd. We took her to the vet two days before because she was breathing sporadically and they ended up finding a huge mass around her heart. We didn't want her to suffer so two days later we took her back to the vet and put her down. It was SO sad. She was such a sweet kitty. It was sad to see Janey walk around the house looking for her sister. That killed me. So now let's just say Janey gets lots of attention. She was spoiled before, but now even more so.

 

Here's the two of them the last few minutes together at the vet.

I have a few things I want to blog about so I'm thinking if I write them down I'll stop procrastinating and just get them done.

Isn't she a beauty?

For the longest time (past two Christmas') I've been saying I'm gonna get a bike. Well, it finally happened. I think the weather had something to do with it too. I got this beauty at Wal-Mart on Thursday and have ridden it everyday except Saturday when it was cold and rainy. It has 7 gears. I've already been able to get up to gear 6... not for very long, but still. The name on it is called Clairmont and that's the street I lived on in Texas so that's cool. There's also a few feathers on the frame that give it a little kick. The colors are pretty and fun!

Silly Me

So last night I was leaving the church building after FHE and I saw a piano in one of the rooms so I went in and started playing the hymns I know by heart and then just messed around. The whole time I kept thinking I wish I had hymn book. I even looked in the bench I was sitting on, but to no avail. So after about a half an hour I came home and told my roommate what I did. I asked her if she had a hymn book so I could take it next week and actually play a few hymns. She looked at me and said, you realize the church has a lot of hymn books there. I started dying laughing. I couldn't believe how dumb I had been. And to think I kept thinking, man I really wish I had a book. Something so obvious hadn't even occurred to me. Anyways, that's my story. Now I know that there are lots and lots of hymn books at the church. Good to know for next time. :)

This blog

So I'm kind of annoyed with this blog layout I have. I tried changing the blog background, but with the new "design" template's blogger has, I can't figure out how to change it. I have been doing a template from a website, but I can't figure out how to even get a new one on. So now that I've erased it, my blog is just plain. Anybody know how to put a cute background or new template on a blog? Any tips would be helpful. Thanks.
