Update on the Parkins

Hey, how is everybody? We're finishing our basement. Kyle and Shawn have shared a room for a couple of years and recently they have not been getting along. They also talk when it's bed time and wake each other up in the morning. It's making for a not very happy family life. So when the basement is done we'll move Shawn down there and hopfully that will cure our problem. We're starting to drywall on Weds. so it's come along fast.

Shawn is getting baptized a week from Saturday. Ah he's so big and I'm so old. I am so thankful that Ty is able to perform it. It's awesome.

Our sealing date is in about a month. We're excited/anxious/scared/ready/happy...all kinds of emotions. Right now I have the emotion of stress. I have always dreamed about that day and I want it to be perfect. I'm stressed that the boys are going to be loud, fighting, crying etc at the Temple. I'm stressed out about finding a pretty dress to wear for pictures. I want a lot of pictures to remember this day. I'm stressed about who do we invite to the Temple or the Open House. Argh! I guess I just need to focus more on what we're actually doing.

I was at the store the other day at the produce section. My 3 year old wanted some grapes to eat right then and I said no. A few mins later I see 3 senior citizens over at the grapes just eating them. They all were looking down like they were trying to hide it. Then they walked off but eventually came back to the grapes. Ate some more and as I passed them one of them finally picked up a bunch and put it in their cart. I just thought it was funny to see old people doing that. Old people are funny.

We survived Spring Break. I had atleast 3 meltdowns/anxiety attacks daily. I'm not even kidding. Ty went to Moab for a few days for Jeep Safari. We're having fun playing Mario Bros on the Wii. That's about it for this Update. Thanks for reading!
