Busy Busy Busy (again)

So I've been slacking on the blogging I know. I have pictures from Thanksgiving (which was fabulous by the way) but I have yet to download them to my computer so I don't have them readily available. This weekend was our system upgrade at work. I worked all night on Friday and this was after I'd stayed up way too late on Thursday finishing my bridal cape (yay finally done!!) and then ran to Tremonton where I got my bridal pictures taken. I wasn't sure if I should even have them done for a while there, but I'm only planning on getting married once so I should do these things. It was a lot of fun though and hopefully they turn out nice. Once I get them back I'll scan some in (oh...have to wait til after the wedding, but yah...I'll post them)

Ok, so now for the sad part of the weekend...which is why I'm not in the mood to post my Thanksgiving pics at the moment. Jami's guinnea pig Sarah died last night. My parents tried to save her and they were giving her antibiotics, but she had blood coming from her urine and stool and just didn't make it. This is really dumb because it's just a guinnea pig, but it's hard because it was Jami's pet and she LOVED her! Albert, her other guinnea, has been crying all day for her. I actually bought Albert for her for her birthday a few years ago. We were teasing that we were going to buy her a rat so she was soooo happy when it was a guinnea pig and not a rat. Luckily, Sarah is with Jami again which is good because she hasn't gotten to hold her for almost 2 years, but it's still hard. Our neighbors brought by a poem that I'd never heard before and had to share...

My First Christmas in Heaven

I see the countless
Christmas trees
around the world below
With tiny lights, like Heaven's stars,
reflecting on the snow

The sight is so spectacular,
please wipe away the tear
For I am spending Christmas with
Jesus Christ this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs
that people hold so dear
But the sounds of music can't compare
with the Christmas choir up here.

I have no words to tell you,
the joy their voices bring,
For it is beyond description,
to hear the angels sing.

I know how much you miss me,
I see the pain inside your heart.
But I am not so far away,
We really aren't apart.

So be happy for me, dear ones,
You know I hold you dear.
And be glad I'm spending Christmas
with Jesus Christ this year.

I sent you each a special gift,
from my heavenly home above.
I sent you each a memory
of my undying love.

After all, love is a gift more precious
than pure gold.
was always most important
the stories Jesus told.

Please love and keep each other,
my Father said to do.
I can't count the blessing or love
has for each of you.

So have a Merry Christmas and
Wipe away that tear
Remember, I am spending Christmas with
Jesus Christ this year

Love you squeaky!!
