It is a winter wonderland outside today. It was snowing when we woke up and we had about 2 inches. It snowed all day until about 6:00 p.m. When we were outside shoveling tonight it was beautiful though. Several of the neighbors bushes with lights on were covered with snow and it created a beautiful effect.
Larry kept getting phone calls today about our refinance loan. It seems that it finally was okay-ed by the underwriters so they said that we should be able to finish up before we leave for San Antonio. That was good news. But Larry had to find a few things for them and then the Assessors finally called and said that they are coming tomorrow. So that was a good thing.
We went to the gym today in the morning but we only stayed an hour because we hadn't taken a book to read . We like to watch "Bones" while we walk and the TV that they had at the gym was having problems therefore TNT was not being broadcast. So we came home and watched an episode at home while we texted different people and worked on things on the computer.
I was hoping to go get Christmas presents for the rest of the grandchildren but when I subtracted the checking account we barely had enough money for the trip to San Antonio. Maren had told me that she had gone into www.mine.utah.gov and found that I had some money that I needed to claim so I went in there to see if I could claim it but when I got in there it was another Donna Christiansen from Vernal, Utah that it was going to. It was also going to Bryan Christiansen who was Emily Christiansen's son, who I think is Nathan age, so he must have married a girl named Donna. They are no relation. So I looked up Emily and she was on Linked In so I sent her a message about it. But I could not get the money.
Sara put a message on http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/nathan74 about all the problems she has been having getting Nathan a good place to be and get the rehabilitation he still needs. She is also having a lot of problems getting the retirement that he needs. I got so frustrated that I texted my brother Larry Jenkins again and asked him if he could find a lawyer in San Antonio that could help Sara with the problem. Later when I was going through my emails I noticed that there was a way to email one of our senators from Utah so I tried the same thing for Orrin Hatch and emailed him asking how I could get some help. When I told Larry he said that I should email Rob Bishop our representative because the representatives work with that kind of thing more, so I did that too. Hopefully we can find some help with this problem.
Kirsten and I texted back and forth today about the family party and BJ called to see if they could use the car when they come over at Christmas while we are gone. We got several Christmas Cards today and one was from Mom. She put $100.00 in the card so now I can go get a few more presents.
After we ate dinner we got ready to go see the Stake President about our mission papers. We had a good talk and he was excited that we were going. He told us to pray for the apostle that will choose where we are going to go and which mission we will serve in so that he can know what is good for us and the people that we serve. He said that he will finish filling out his part of the papers tonight and submit them to the missionary department tomorrow. He seemed to think that possibly it would not take as long as they say because we have an early availability.
We came home and shoveled all the snow on the walks and the driveway. It took us an hour so we figured that we did not need to go to the gym. Then we watched another episode of "Bones" while I entered my food in the Weight Watchers app. We read scriptures and said our prayers and Larry went to bed. I was just going to enter my activity link information but when I checked it I only had 3 bars and my goal is 4 so I paced while I watched the news. Then I put the information in and I had my 4 pts so hopefully I will have a new goal reached in the stats for this challenge.
Well getting too tired to think so good night!
