dumb internet

So the internet has been very very lame of late i can only get online sometimes and for a very short amount of time when i can, so don't expect too many updates from me! Meeting today was wonderful as normal, i missed gospel meeting because i wasn't feeling so well at all but i made sunday morning. I'm still not able to upload picture it just doesn't work for me i'll have to try at home and see if maybe it's just the interenet here that doesn't work right that makes it impossible. k i really have nothing to write about so i'm off!

days off are boring!!!

Ok so i decided that i don't really like days off they are pretty lonely... and when i'm lonely i shop and that is a BAD combination, but i did end up with some pretty cute stuff! :)

Ok so i guess i'll give you a Micah story we were eating dinner and he suddenly starts crying and rubbing his eye and i asked him what was wrong and he said his tacts hurt...i was very confused and went to go look and see what he was talking about and i didn't see anything in his eye so i asked him what hurt again and he said his tacts were hurting his eye. He then tried to pull his eye open using two fingers of one hand and the other hand he was trying to get the tact out! that's when i started laughing...i guess he's been watching me put my contacts in my eyes so when his eye hurt he thought that it was a contact and was trying to get it out! That pretty much made my day! lol He's adorable!

Made it to wednesday night gospel meeting the other day twas wonderful Daryl asked us to put ourself in the place of the churchs (he spoke from the study Revelations 2) and see what it is that Jesus would tell us. He said that he would start out by pointing out the good things...are faithfullness, steadfastness, the fact that we had all shown up showed that we had overcome something. It means a lot to God that we are faithfull and endure. Then he asked us what He would say we needed to work on, maybe we had let things in that we shouldn't have. We were also reminded that infulences outside the church don't always stay outside and we need to be carefull. All in all it was a wonderful meeting. My favorite verse from the study was the 26- 28 which says "and he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end,to him will i give power over the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter sheall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Fater. And i will geive him the morning star." and also the 11th "he that hath and ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death." I loved those and the promises of what God will give us if we can overcome, it makes it beyond worth the sacrifices we make.

Ok well all for today i put the kiddo down for an early bed time as the "dark side" was beginning to appear because he had no nap today!

I will survive!!!!

No that title has nothing to do with that one song that goes something like...first i was afraid i was petrified never thought i could live with out you by my side...the title also has nothing to do with boys! lol It has everything to do with the fact that i discovered that there is a Maurices just 10 minutes away from where i live!!!! :) I went shopping yesterday! can you tell? Pretty much was happier than happy when i saw in the beautiful cascade mall my store Maurices, so i went in and tried on a ton of stuff and i got a few things, i really did manage to limit myself only 2 shirts and a hat! Tomorrow is my first day off and let me tell you i will go shopping all day i have so much stuff that i need to get! Yesterday i only got to shop for a few minutes so i have to go again! Oh i also got new rainboots! Seriously that was exciting!

So now for a little cute Micah story...After i had finished giving thanks for my lunch the other day he looked up at me and said "i was quiet", the next day he closed his eyes for a few minutes and then looked at me and said "i prayed Jesus", and then yesterday he closed his eyes for a few seconds and then opened them to see if i was watching and closed them again this happened a few times and then he looked at me and smiled a smile that said how proud of himself he was and then said "i prayed for a really long time" i almost started laughing he is so stinkin cute.

Oh i'm still trying to figure out how to put pictures up i can't get it to work and i have so many i want to add! ugggh

quick update

so i really haven't been doing too much exciting stuff lately but i'll give you a rundown of my days and maybe a quick little update to say what has been going on!
This is what a day in the world of Allyson the Nanny is like...
6:30 am alarm goes off- make sure Micah is not awake yet the hit the snooze
7:00 Micah is up by now for sure and playing quietly so i stumble out of bed
7:10 feed Micah and the dogs (3 dogs, 1 cat)
7:20 yell at Jonah (the BIG puppy) for biting the other dogs or Micah or me this continues ALL day as he doesn't understand the word no
Micah normally just kinda plays by himself for a while so i have a little bit of quiet time here...today he seems to just want to play in his own word so i've had a lot of time.
9:00 dress Micah and remember i haven't eaten yet!
10:00 do dishes and clean up the house and play with Micah
1:00-2:00 answer all the questions about where his mommy is until she gets home normally around 2
2-5:30 Becky is home so i have a little bit of time to myself (i want to go shopping today) but i'm still watching Micah and taking care of him as Becky is exhausted and getting ready for the next day of work
5:30 distract Micah as he's normally pretty upset that his mom has just left then feed him dinner
7:30 put Micah to bed, read bedtime story, feed dogs and put them in their crates...then finally have some wonderful time for me to catch up on whatever i want to do!!!!!! Normally check facebook and chat with people.
9:30 my bedtime unless i sometimes stay up later to try and talk a little more but i'm normally too tired!

That is just on Becky's days of work...so far she's worked everyday that i've been here but i think next week she has 3 or 4 days off! Who knows what will happen then!

So pretty much the 2 highlights of my time here so far has been Saturday when Kyla and Mark came to Seattle and i met them there for a wonderful fun day of shopping! Kyla and i got nothing but Mark got a lot of stuff. We got a ton of exercise walking up and down the hills twas fun. My camera was dead so Kyla has all the pictures! the other really cool thing was i got to take Micah to his first meeting! He did so good just kinda sat there and looked at everyone with big eyes one time he made a little noise and he got so embarrassed i almost started laughing. after meeting everyone came to meet him it was so cute. Oh they haven't decided which field i'm going to be in yet because i'm kinda on the boarder of 2 of them so i went to Sunday meeting in the Mt. Vernon field and they told me that they voted me in and that i was to stay, it was really nice to feel so welcome! Then we packed up to go to gospel meeting but there was a rock slide and it blocked the road so we had to turn back, that was a little disappointing but next week i'll go!

Ok i'm going to try and post some pictures from the last few weeks to show some of what has happened...
