Temple Lights

So I explained in my last post that Clayton and I spent the whole day together.

Monday night we went to see the temple lights. There was a light sprinkle on the way there but we stayed dry as we walked around the temple grounds.

A day of...

Monday I didn't go into work so that I could go buy tires. Clayton went with me. We ended up spending the entire day together. It turned out to be a good day - even after the $600 I spent on new tires!

Clayton and I left the house at about 9:00 and drove over to Discount Tires. We were the second customers there. The employee was at my car before I even had a chance to get out. That turned out to be a good thing cuz we only had to wait 30 minutes.

HUMMMM - What to do with our time? Breakfast???

Of Course - Sonic is right across the street!

We ate quickly (I was cold)

20 minutes left - Dollar store or Kmart?

Kmart (we can see discount from there and will know when my car is done)

CAPS FOR SALE!!!!! (in case you were wondering - that is a very cute childrens book - check it out)

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!! the car is done - off to do Christmas Shopping. That turned out to be dangerous. I ended up buying more for myself and only got presents for mom and dad.

We did make a stop at Arizona Mills.

My kindergarteners didn't believe Christmas trees could be that big so I had to take a picture so they could see it for themselves!

I will do a real post in a moment...

I Can Only Be Grateful

I got a flat tire today after church.

Choir practice ran over 30 minutes. I left and was just down the road when I realized I had a flat. I called the house and no one answered. I knew my mom was taking the girls back to Erna but I didn't have her new cell number. I called Erna and she was meeting mom in the Fajitas parking lot. I got mom's number from her and called mom. She came to my rescue.

So Why am I Grateful?

- I didn't have a blow out on the freeway

- I was able to quickly pull over and call for help

- Mom was only about 15 minutes away - as opposed to the 35 minutes it would have been.

- I get tomorrow off
On the way home I decided that if Margaret could sub for me tomorrow morning I would take it off and go buy new tires. I called Margaret and she said she could. I planned to go in at lunch time but Margaret said she would prefer to sub the whole day. WHOO HOO!!! I get the day off!

So even though I ended the day with a flat tire I had a GREAT day. Church was great - although it did leave me wondering about a certain someone...

One Step At A Time

Twice in one day I have heard the song, "One Step At A Time" by Jordan Sparks. It is a very pretty song with a great message for me!

This time of year is always tough for a single girl like me. I thought this was the perfect song. Here are the lyrics to the chorus:

It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen when it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time
