Dentist Appointment

So today I finally get to go to the dentist and get my permanent crown on my tooth...it's just been a month since they put on the temporary. They told me 3 weeks and after 4 I wondered if it was going to come in. I called the dentist and they finally got it...4 weeks later! I'm just glad that I finally get to get the permanent tooth in...it's a good thing.

Update on the accident today

I am happy to say that the insurance company of the girl that hit Michael has really stepped up to the plate and is going to pay for the repairs on Michael's car and a rental car for him while it's in the shop. Wow, they called him and are being so nice to him. I guess she was a good one to hit him if it had to happen, huh? See...blessings in all of the mess...I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father. I am just so impressed that this insurance company is being so good...I hope it is all for real, we'll know this next week. It sounds like they are so it should all be good.

Daniel is dealing with the fact that he has been in two accidents this week and learning to really appreciate big cars...they are all big and heavy cars. I guess he's supposed to really appreciate this concept...it will make him a better driver, right? We get the challenges while he gets ready to serve the Lord for two years...let's hope there aren't too many more in our immediate future, right? :)

I sure love and appreciate all of my friends that are showing such love and concern for these challenges...thank you all and know that you are so loved!!!

Another Accident

Okay...so Daniel and Michael are on their way to college this morning and Michael calls me to say he was rear ended. I am shaking right now...it was a low impact rear end but still... Daniel says that he is trying to get over his dirt road accident and now this happens. Michael said that a car stopped suddenly in front of him and then this girl hit him while someone else hit her. His trunk won't open and her hood is crunched. I had to tell Michael to call the police and he has to wait for a report even though he is anxious to get to his college class. He said that he is okay and so is Daniel but he is very upset. His trunk won't open and his and Daniel's backpacks are in there. I told him to make sure he gets pictures and trades information and hopefully this girl has insurance. So...the challenges have truly began and I don't want anymore! :) lol

The Lord loves me and my family...I am grateful for the challenges but don't really want them! :) No more for now...okay?

Update on Daniel's little accident

So...poor Daniel was so upset about what he had done with the car that he stayed home the next day from college...he was so depressed that he had messed up like that. He had his "pity party" on Tuesday and that night I told him to "get over it" and he was going to college the next day. lol He is such a great guy and I would rather he felt bad at his mistake than thinking it was all okay... :) I am so grateful for my wonderful son, he makes me so proud of him. He is so incredible and I know that these little incidents are just a small test and pass quickly and I am so thankful that things weren't worse than they were. I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father for the blessings that He gives our family. So...things keep going forward and Daniel will get through is guilt and learn from the experiences he has. He is AWESOME!!!

Challenges have begun...

So...things can always be worse but right now I'm frustrated with Daniel for going too fast on a dirt road. He had the car to drive to the college yesterday as his brother was working and I didn't want to come and pick him up. He decided to go to a friends house (didn't call to let me know) and finally came home around 10:30 last night. After he got home he let us know that he was going a little fast on a dirt road and ended up losing control and ran into a pinon pine tree. He said there wasn't much damage to the car and it wasn't that bad. He was pretty shaken up and said that the light covering was damaged just a little and shouldn't be too bad to replace. I was so upset with him as he is such a new driver and what was he thinking not going slow on a dirt road, especially with him being a new driver and all. He said he knows and is so apologetic about this. He feels so bad and I told him that I was angry and would get over it but for now I was angry. I worked so hard last night on getting over it and was lying down and realized that he is more important than any car and it could be worse, he could've rolled it or hit someone else or some such thing. So crazy!!! I was so upset and still am...especially after I saw the damage on the car...it was a bit more than he said it was...the light cover is almost all gone and the scratches on the side and the window are a lot. It could have been worse but darn...it shouldn't have happened at all. I told Daniel that I understand it was an accident and those happen with even veteran drivers, but darn it...it upset me that he did it anyway. He feels so bad and realizes that it's a good lesson learned and he will be more careful. I had to stop being upset and give him some comfort as he was having such a hard time.

I know that he will be tested as he gets ready to go to the temple and leave on his mission so I'll have to pray extra hard that we all can get through this. I'm so grateful that he is going on his mission and we get to have these experiences! :)

By the way...Daniel will be going to the temple June 6th and I am so excited that I get to be there with all of my children! What a blessing!!!

I LOVE the Temple!!!

So last night I went to the temple with Elaine, it was Ward Temple Night. Chuck couldn't go with me as his temple recommend is expired. Anyway...I have to say how much I LOVE the temple. I love the feeling I get there, it is so amazing! I am so grateful to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!!!

DANIEL GOT HIS MISSION CALL!!!

Daniel will be serving in the Chile Concepcion South Mission and reports to the Provo MTC August 26th. We are so thrilled for him. This is going to be such a great experience!!! We will miss him so much but he is going to serve the Lord for the next two years and that's the BEST!!! We LOVE you DANIEL!!!
