fun and not so fun

I haven't kept up with blogging as much as I would like to. So now I have a lot of stuff to blog about.
I have been busy doing many things some of them fun and some not so fun.
Some fun things that I have been up to are girls day out. My sisters took me and my mom out for our birthdays. We went to the Garden Restaurant on the top of the Joseph Smith memorial building. The view was spectacular. They also took us to see the play Home School Musical. I liked it very much. It was my first time at the Desert Star. I liked how they made fun of Napoleon Dynamite and the High School Musical movie. Thank You to my wonderful sisters. You are some of my best friends.
I have a new calling at church I have been called to be the Secretary for the Relief Society. I feel really good about it. I feel that this is where my Heavenly Father needs me. I think that my callings in church have helped me grow as a person. For example I use to be so shy that I would not even go to my mail box across the street for fear that someone would see me or I would have to talk to them. Now I can give a talk or lesson in front of many and it isn't that hard. I can also go up to people I don't know and talk to them. I think that the Lord has blessed me so much. I have more self esteem.
Now for some not so fun news I went to the dentist because one of my fillings fell out and I thought my crown was bad. It turned out that my crown was fine I had a bad cavity right next to it. So last week I went to get them filled and the top tooth was fine. But the bottom tooth was very difficult to numb. I had 4 shots and I was only partially numb so instead of poking me again in the same place, he gave me a shot right in the tooth that was bad. Boy was it painful. But it worked and I was able to get the cavity filled. The dentist felt so bad for having me in the chair for 2 hours and so many shots that he gave me a gift certificate to a Mexican restaurant. So me and Jay went out to eat and the dentist paid the bill.
More not so fun news is that J.J. was laid off from his job as a maintenance mechanic. But he is looking into doing some temporary work. Hopefully it wont be to long before he is back to work.
Getting back to some fun news.
It has also been fun getting back to work and getting back to a routine of things. I have been doing just one thing since I started at the beginning of the year I was in charge of the fruit and dishes. But now my manager is having me do what the other ladies do. It shows that she has confidence in me and she thinks I am doing a great job!
I also want to wish my daughter in law Samantha a happy birthday! Happy Birthday to my wonderful Mom, Felicia and Savannah my nieces Charlie, Matthew my brother in laws.
