Subject: Snow

Yep...you read that subject line correct. We got snow today. :/ I will send a picture in messenger when I am done writing.

How are you? How was your week? How are things going with you and your companion and other Elders in the apartment? How are your ami's? Were you able to find new ami's this week?

Things here are good. I had a cleaning lady come Monday and she was fine and I asked her to come back but as I moved through the house Monday night and Tuesday morning I realized just how much she didn't do so I fired her. I just need to be okay with maintaining and cleaning the house and whatever. So frustrating. The pool got officially closed on Tuesday, Teeter got a haircut on Wednesday, Kaitlyn and a friend came up for dinner on Wednesday, I had a massage on Thursday and Brooklyn was done with school for the week because the 1st Term is officially over.

Friday Tyler got up and headed out to go hunting so B and I started getting her room ready for a new paint job. Time to get rid of 2nd grade stripes and gray. I forget how much work it is and by the end of the day I was beat. From taking down all the stuff off the walls, filling in holes, and taping...yeah. I knew today was going to be awesome :/ B wasn't' feeling well so she took some NyQuil and went to bed. I followed shortly behind her and it was nice to call it a week.

Today we both slept in. I slept in until 7 and she was in bed until almost noon. Her body is definitely fighting something. I feel bad. She has been so stuffed up and congested. I finally went to get her some Sudafed earlier and I think that seems to be helping. We got one coat on 3 of her walls and a final on 1.5 of the walls. Having a dog that is curious and young is tricky so she took care of Teeter while I tried to get what I could done. Her wall with the dresser on it will be my last one since I will have to move that but it is okay. I am hopeful that by Wednesday we are putting it all back together and it is done for the final time.

It rained a lot today and by the end of the day it was snow. The mountains are looking at getting 8-18" depending on where they are. That is a lot. And it reminds me that Winter is coming even if I don't want it to. Ugh...I despise cold. ;)

Anyways, I love you and I hope you are good. I am sorry this is a quick email. I need to get dinner and a house cleaned up some. Tyler is actually on his way home for 2 nights since it is snowing so much where he is hunting. He will be back up on Monday morning but since I have been busy upstairs, the rest of the house is a HOT MESS. I love you oodles and I hope your Sunday is full of ami's and happiness. Enjoy your warm weather for me too.

Talk to you soon,

Mom
