So last night I texted mother and said... " I might the chance to go on TREK" do you know how excited I am for this... it has been 23 years since I went on the first TREK! IT was such a wonderful thing in my life and a blessing.. I was so excited to go to the meeting with the youth to learn more. I am so wanting to go on this!
Memories are coming back of all the fun and all that I learned. I learned a lot and I can still hear Matthew saying "Mom he bore a testimony"... it was one of the best things I had ever done.. GOING on the trek... I wish I could tell our youth how awesome it was!
(OK I strated this post two weeks ago... I will finish it now)
So I went to the fireside so that I might be able to go on the trek.. WELL we will see because right now our stake is behind the times and well we will see.
But I did learn a few things.
1st is we are each pioneers. we are all walking a new
I am as old as a TREE

Turning 40 was Awesome...
however... it has some ups and downs...
I am having the time of my life.. and 40 is fabulous.. I love it.. someone said to me today how 40 is treating me and I replied It is awesome if I would have know this I would have been 40 a few years ago.
I have been enjoying life so far and I am just starting to climb that hill of over the hill.. I am at the bottom looking up!
who ever said 40 is over the hill wow they made a big mistake! maybe when that was said people were only living to 60 or something because I am so YOUNG!
So here is what I do know however... maybe it is just me...NOPE not just me... But everyone knows I can not stand water... I can not stand drinking plain WATER...it has no flavor and for me it is boring... I need more to it. WELL in the last week I have been drinking water and it taste kind of nice.. NO I am not giving in but.. I have found that If I dont drink my water I am getting shakie and it kind of scares me.. BECAUSE I just downed a liter of Dr Pepper and Well now I am wanting water.
and the other thing with that is... 5am is way to early for me to get out of bed to run to the bathroom...
Come on now I just went to bed 20 minutes before that!
Now it should not be any big surprise that I love my food... I have to say... one of my favorites in the past few weeks have been .... I should ask you to quess but no one would ever get it... OK you guess here....
Brussel Sprouts.... LOVE THEM!
as silly as it may seem... LOVE them.. you can do so much with them and they taste great.. Fresh is always the best but I have had to turn to frozen ones. WELL you want to know something Birdeyes taste the best!
They are so sweet with a little butter on them.. YUM!!!
So what else is going on... I have been working on slowly putting the pictures in an scrapbook.. but really not much more going on!

Tuesday
So to day was the annual blood drive at church.. SO I have a goal to make sure everytime the that the church plans the blood drive I am going..
SO I prepare myself to go give blood I tend to have a little routine I go to McDonalds and have 2 cheesebugers and a large sweet tea.. well today I was not able go today before I gave blood.. so diet coke and chocolate chip cookies had to be it. Well I did fine.. I was very cold before I went, blood plate count was great and I was ready.. I get on the table and well.... NO I did not pass out I just stopped bleeding. they got almost got 410 milliagrams out of me and I just stopped bleeding... and you have to give 530. REALLY.. I was very sad.. and there was nothing that they could do I was squeezing the ball and trying everything. SO I did not give my full pint today. VERY sad. BECAUSE I so prepared.
Oh did anyone see the moon... ITs going to be a full moon tomorrow.. Watch out. and I only have 2 days left before I hit hte BIG 40!!!!!
