Prayers Please!
Yesterday was a SCARY day! Ruby has been getting really bad headaches for a while. This week she has thrown up in the morning 3 different days. Thursday and Friday she was not herself and complaining of more headaches so I took her into the doctor. The Dr. did a ton of neuroligical tests and said they all looked good but she still wants us to go have an MRI. I totally started crying. I was sitting there thinking they are testing my perfectly healthy, beautiful girl for a brain tumor! We will go in Monday at 7:15am for the MRI and should have results that day. Please keep my Rube Dawg in your prayers!

Rollercoaster!!
It is that time of the month again, time to blog!! I don't think our life has ever been this crazy! Okay the high speed chase was a car jacking from west valley. A lady was driving and the SUV was full of drugs and a gun!
Our house sale has been a nightmare!! One day good news the next bad. Today was good, we will see what happens tomorrow!! Hopefully we will close on Monday the 19, that means we will move out this weekend. My house went from imaculate to complete chaos with packing, living and Power Rangers! If all goes well we will be moving into Matt's parents until we leave sometime in July for Indiana. If it falls through we will stay here until the very last minute and leave in August.
I have had a headache for 6 weeks!!! I am so stressed out. The great news is that I haven't had a headache for 2 days, Yippee!!! I have also lost 5 more pounds, which I am sure is stress related.
We had a Rich family vacation down to Capital Reef to spend our last time together before Matt's parents leave for their mission. I have had a cold/sinus thing going for 3 weeks so I was pretty misarable. My kids had a great time with their cousins. I will really miss having cousins for my kids to play with.
The next weekend I went to womens confrence at BYU with one of my best friends from kindergarten. We had a great time. What a great way to get your mommy batteries recharged.
Then I went on a girls weekend with my Gamma Xi Gals. Even though I was completely drugged up on cold medicine we had a great time. I feel so stinkin blessed to have the greatest friends and family in the world. Seriously, I thank my lucky stars for all of you.
Last weekend we had a yard sale to get ready to move. We made $900!!! I sold some stuff on craigslist and made $500. We put it all towards our last credit card. WE are officially out of credit card debt!!! I am so proud of us, it hasn't been easy. Yippee!!!
Ruby has lost 2 teeth in 2 days and a third one is a complet snaggle tooth! She can rotate it 359 degrees. I hope she doesn't swallow it in her sleep! For Mothers Day Ruby set the table for a special breakfast. She got the dishes out of the dishwasher, the only problem was they were dirty! It was awesome, a breakfast I will always remember.
Matt has been super busy with work. We only see him on the weekends. We have had some funny movie star experiences. We hung our with Jennifer Coolage, she kissed matt on the cheek. We were sitting at a table with Jared Hess, Ruby choked and threw up in front of him. We have seen them film several of the scenes for Gentlemen Broncos. It should be pretty funny.
Good grief I may not have to update this for 2 months now! I promise to add pictures next time.

High Speed Chase!!
I was just sitting here trying to think of something to say when all of the sudden all these bright lights and sirens go haulin past my window!! There was a huge high speed chase in my neighborhood. I am totally freaked out! Can't wait to see what it was on tomorrows news.
I am on the wrong computer to post pictures, sorry I hate it when people just write text on their blogs. Not much is going on other than lots of packing! I can't believe how much stuff we have!

Whirlwind weekend
Where do I begin? In a month only1 person had come to see our house. I have been praying that we would do the right thing and if the right thing was to sell that we would need a huge miracle. Someone called after a month of nothing and came to see it last wednesday. She loved it and said she would get back to us ASAP. We didn't hear anything from her thursday or friday so I decided to forget about it.
Matt and I went to the Indiana University Experience weekend on Friday. It was so much fun. I know that i am going to love Bloomington. It is beautiful. There is a club for all the partners of students that I hung out with. We had so much fun! There are a ton of people in our same situation. They helped us look for housing. Great houses for 1/2 of what you would pay here. It was frustrating because we have no idea what will happen with our house. I met some darling people that I can't wait to hang out with. They totally wined and dined us. We even found a street called Ruby Lane! On the flight home Elder Bednar was sitting about 12 rows ahead of us! I was dreading the next day. Our flight came in at 11:30 pm, it was Ruby's birthday the next day and I was subbing for her class until 3:20, with a party starting at 3:30!
We got home around 12:30, Ruby woke up feeling sick was up until 2am, I woke up early to make her a special breakfast and get us all off to school. I checked my messages that morning and discovered that the lady made an offer on our home!!!!! She made the offer Thursday before we even left! Luckily she called us because our agent never returned any of her 6 calls! I was ticked! I was terrified that she had moved on! I called her lickity split and luckily she was still interested even though her offer deadline was Saturday at 11! She made us an offer, we countered, and we met in the middle. We are now under contract!! Who knows what will happen, but there is a chance we just sold our house!!!!!!! YIPPEEEEE. She wants to close on May 12. For those of you with out a calander that is in 3 weeks!! Yikes
Who knows what will happen but I just want to say I know that God hears and answers prayer. I prayed for a miracle and it looks like I just might be getting one! I gotta get packing! More details to come on the party.

General Conference
Wow, what an awesome experience it was to be able to sustain a new prophet! I loved hearing President Monson and totally knowing that he is a prophet of God. I loved his cute story about his wife after her coma.
I also loved the last talk on mothers. In the middle of it, Cooper came in and wanted to read a story. I told him no and realized I was missing the point of the whole talk! So I missed the rest of the talk while we read about a lizard that can squirt blood out of its eyes.
I love being a mom. It is scaring me how quickly my dudes are growing up. I hope I can be half the mom my mom was.
We have a conference tradition of making cinamon rolls. They are so very yummy! My cute non member neighbors keep track of when confrence is coming because of my rolls. Matt asked me if they were missionary rolls.
My house is still very clean and only one person has looked at it. Renting it might not be so bad. I just finished painting the window sills, they look awesome!
And for the record, I AM SO DONE WITH SNOW!!! When will it be spring?
