ONE MORE TIME

I'll try to write a little more now that I've gotten the pictures in. They were driving me nuts. I couldn't imagine what was going wrong with them. Every time I tried to get them in something would happen and they just wouldn't go, so I just gave up and quit.
In addition to the four of them graduating there was Chalice's boyfriend, Blake Whitney also graduated from Taylorsville and Chalice graduated from 4 years of Seminary in which she was chosen to give a talk. He gave Chalice a promise ring for graduation, we've had some very interesting conversations about "what that means" between her sisters and myself. To me it means that you promise to go steady for a while and if things work out well between yourself and the person that gave you the ring, you will receive an engagment ring at some point.
Also of importance here is the fact I was given the red sash from the U graduates which means a great deal to me. Especially when I wasn't even able to go to any of the Convocation Ceremonies. I hope to put it in a frame with pictures and make a nice wall hanging with it.
Now, we have to get them all employed. Chalice is unhappy with the amount of money she earns and JorJa hasn't put her Resume in any place yet because she promised to work up at the U until the end of June. Jacob is doing ok though and KayCee just got a position with Jason's Deli that she will start in about a week. For now, she is working up at the U doing some project which she can fisnish up in that week until she starts her new position.
I have to go get ready to go to dinner, so bye for now.

I'll try one more time?!?!?!

OUT OF IT AGAIN!?!?!?

I keep intending to do better on my blogs, but I never do. Better I mean. Well I had better start with me. In the last month, I haven't had any more breaks in my vertebrae, thank goodness, but I did get 2 broken ribs and 2 cracked ribs all at the same time. Now if you want to wish for some pain, I can suggest some things that you can do to attain that wish. The Doctors don't do anything for you except give you some pain pills to put up with the pain from broken ribs and of course constant ex-rays. It is so darn hard to get clothes off and on during that time without screaming and they want to know if you are catching pneumonia each week. I won't tell you how I got the breaks but it has to do with the Heimlich maneuver and I won't tell you who did it on me except to say that if you are around our son (number 2) and you swallow some thing and it doesn't go all the way down, be extemeley careful about asking his help or making the decision to start digging your own grave. He feels so badly about it all, that I don't dare use his name. I keep telling him not to feel so bad because the alternative is not something that I desired.

Charlie and Sandy has had 4 graduations this year, JorJa graduated with a Masters in Civil Engineering, Jacob graduated with a Bachelor in Electrical Engineering, KayCee graduated with a degree of Bachelor of Science in Mass Communication with an emphasis in Communication Techonology all from the University of Utah and Chalice graduated from Taylorsville High School. By the way she will be going to the U of U next year but I don't have any idea what she will be majoring in, I don't think she knows yet.

I will write more tomorrow or the next day, promise?!?!?
