Frog and Toad

do you remember those books?! we would read them in 1-3rd grade. i LOVED them. and then we'd watch a few of the poorly made movies that were made to go along with them!

anyway, TOTALLY not the point of tonights post. so Riley is still away. he should be getting home sometime LATE tomorrow. so pretty much like 3 in the morning is my bet. so it's just me and Deezul holding down the fort still. he really is the BEST idea we've ever had. he makes me feel needed. so i stay plenty busy taking care of him. and then when i turn off all the lights... he gets as close to me as possible and falls right asleep :) he's lightly snoring as i type.

so being all alone, little things make me jump. i'm not scared to be on my own... BUT here is an example... last night i was letting Deezul out one more time before bed. so it was like 9, and he had just peed so i was walking over to make sure he was done and grab him to take him inside. on my way over to him... i was avoiding his little "land mines" and rocks... and ONE OF THEM JUMPED! i screamed... and i'm really not a screamer, but it came out! i look closer and it's that dang toad from the other night!!! and there were like 3 of them.. ugh! i'm totally shuddering as i relive that horrible moment! ewwwwwwwwwww but at the same time i'm kind of excited they are still around. cause when we were in Utah Riley would want to go frog hunting when we would walk Ozzy with his parents. he'd try and catch the biggest frog down at the park. and they were pretty big... like the size of 2 mcdonalds nuggets... but this one is like BIGGER than a big mac.. and i'm not even exaggerating! so i think he'll be pretty excited to walk out back and find a huge one.

so ya. thats my update! i went and had dinner with a few other wives tonight which was way fun! we sat around and talked for hours... i'm glad i'm finally meeting other people! and they are all pretty cool too. it's funny being on this Island has made me pretty good at explaining what a Mormon REALLY is.... and being about to give the basics about what we believe. and how to shoot down rumors.. i've been to my real ward twice now. and each time i've brought a different visitor. i'm learning people don't really HATE us Mormons... they just DON'T understand us at all. i'm so happy i'm Mormon. it adds sooo much to my life. after church on sunday i went to the gym monday morning and a few of the girls from relief society were there, i recognized them, and i think they MAY have recognized me. i think they thought they knew me but couldn't figure out from where. they'll place it on sunday.

anyway... now i'm just rambling... sooo umm GOOD NIGHT!

ooh ooh i read "the Hunger Games" AWESOME! i can't wait to read the 2nd one!!! that was a REALLY good recommend to all the people that suggested that one! oh and if you haven't read it yet "My Name Is Memory" is AMAZING. it came out the beginning of June and it is soo good! i found that one all on my own and almost noone has read it cause it's new... but i think it is a MUST read!  oh and "13 Reasons Why" is probably the best book i've ever read. soooo READ those 3 and you won't regret any of them!!!
