I can't think of a title...

I've been trying to come up with something to write about... Our weeks are starting to turn into the same things over and over again. Well okay, they are mostly there already! We work a ton, Myles goes to his internship at the boys home, I do laundry and find random things to clean so that I stay busy, we have institute a couple of days a week. I'm totally loving our class. I work some more, I watch Myles ref football games when I have the energy to sit out in the sun all day.

My attitude about Las Cruces has improved leaps and bounds over the last two or so weeks! I was having a really hard time with the weather, my lack of friends, my move, etc. The effects and realization of change were in full force and I was a bit bitter about all of it. I think I mentioned in my last blog that I had a neat experience in institute, but it really hits me every day how it is my choice to find this desert beautiful. We do not get blue skies like these in Oregon. Gorgeous! I still LOVE the rain though.

Today Myles and I were working in Deming, about 45 minutes from Cruces. I was walking the lot, taking inventory and I saw the COOLEST thing! I mean, I really thought this was cool. I made Myles come all the way across the lot to see it. He didn't think it was nearly as awesome as I did, however, that did not change my opinion of it. THIS is what I saw. A leaf bug!! I don't think I've seen one before, but it is so amazing to me! Look!! God's creations are truly amazing.

As far as other adventures I've been having, I got lost today. I kind of new where I was, but I was in no way prepared to get to where I was trying to get! I was headed for Sam's Club to buy the cheapest gas in town, and then to the post office. Myles tried to explain to me how to get there before I dropped him off. It was n't far, and yet, I managed to find myself headed out of town on HWY 70. I finally turned myself around, got oriented, and made it to Sam's. I jumped out of the car and went to fill up, only to discover that Sam's only accepts Sam's cards as payment at their gas station. Myles had forgotten to give it to me... I didn't even know I needed one! I was so frustrated after being lost, that this was just something more to add. I headed for the post office, gas tank still empty. At the post office there was a huge line and I didn't want to wait. Plus I thought that if I bought a flat rate box there, they were going to make me pay for an entire roll of tape in order to assemble it. I panicked when I didn't know which direction (East or West) I needed to go on the freeway to get home. I knew which way, just not which exit to take. I took a chance and kept going until I saw an exit I knew... Kinda? I was mostly guessing, but I finally saw a sign that said El Paso and I knew that was the direction I needed. I went to one of the many high schools to wait for the kid we pick up on Wednesdays. He made me wait a long time... We made our usual Sonic happy hour run and then I made him go to another post office with me. We had a great bonding experience standing in line there. After dropping him off I went home and tried ever so hard not to crash! Holy cow I'm exhausted! Myles and I are getting up just a little earlier in the mornings so that we can read scriptures before he goes to seminary. Oh goodness, It has been super hard. Totally worth it though!

With my exhaustion, I think I'm sick. I haven't really decided. I'm nauseated a lot of the time. My head kills me. My stomach will cramp randomly. And today my throat started to hurt. I have almost chucked several times at work. That would be fun... New cars, used cars, throw up... Yeah... I have only taken a decongestant once, yesterday when I thought maybe I was getting a migraine because of sinus congestion, causing me to have vertigo and nausea. I honestly don't remember if it worked... lol I have been downing peppermint tea and Thieves oil like crazy. I'm hoping it will pass soon. Myles was pressured by his Doctor to get a flu shot. It flared up and he wasn't feeling well on Saturday. He actually threw up though... My thought is that mine is related to that, I can only hope at least.

Over all, things are great! The count down to my birthday is in full swing! I'm more excited this year than I have been in years past. And I don't even know why! Also, I'm coming home in less than a month!! WHOO FOR HUGGING MY MOMMY!
