Today's trials are tomorrows testimony's

Today's trials are tomorrows testimony's

So this year has been a very rough start to the year so far. A lot has gone wrong!!!! It all started really on December 28th. However, it just keeps coming. However I heard something a few weeks ago at church and it was the title of this blog. I am trying to be positive, even though I am tired and getting worn down. So here is me trying to be positive and not keep sliding down hill
I am grateful for:
1. my husband, who treats me to well
2. my calling to teach relief society- best calling in the world
3. the fact I even have a job
4. The opportunity to manage, even though it is ridiculously trying most days.
5. My recent 6 cortisone injections that have diminished my neck and shoulder pain by about 1/2
6. My family. nieces and nephews are the best things ever.
7. Grateful for the medication that takes discomfort, pressure and pain away and the one that lets me sleep at night.
8. Case lot sales and coupons that save me money

I a sure there are more, but everything I come up with has a negative to it, so I am just keep thinking of the good things so I can get through my days and today's trials become my testimony tomorrow. I tell that myself a lot these days.

My craziness

My craziness

So I seem to be little OCD, or something like that, about a few things. A clean and organized apartment is one of them. Mike and I live in 550 sq ft apartment and to say the least I am terrified for the day we move out. I have stuck things so tightly in places, that you can imagine how I could be nervous. I have basically spent the day reorganizing my apartment, yet again. I seem to do it every few weeks or months. It started with just my closet and then turned into two other cabinets, our tool boxes,miscellaneous boxes, TV cabinet and I don't know what else. So really its been about a week now since I started with putting all my old journals into one big binder and a few other things and before I knew it, I have basically redone my entire apartment, yet again. Here is what I pulled out of my closet today, which doesn't included our shoes and clothes. This is usually has something to do with the mood I am in and if the apartment is a mess, and I start putting things away, I end up redoing a few things. I do this a lot when I have a lot on my mind and need to focus on something other then what I have been thinking about. I am a little nervous for what happens when we finally have a house, we'll have double the space and stuff. Yikes :) Oh how I can't wait to have a house of my own though!!!! Thanks to mike's Dad and my sister we have a few things at there place, (bed frame, sheets and stuff from our full bed and a cooler). Or else I would be even more cramped then we already are. I am finding room though in some places and you should see the table I built around my couches and lamp. Yeah its kind of awesome and I love it, it makes me happy and feel more organized. What is my deal. Lucky I have a husband that loves me and just smiles and lets me do it and thinks its cute and helpful. All he asks is that I let him know where I moved things. Plus he's getting good a letting me throw things away (he's more of a keeper than I am, I kind of like to throw things away.), Like empty boxes, just so we can have them when we move.
