I am so happy, I have figured out how to make the movies.  I have pretty much all of our California trip done in 6 movies (each moving being about 5 minutes long)  Each movie is the highlights of about 2 days of the trip.  I am going to go through my pics one more time and see if there are any I want to add or skip.  But mostly I'm pretty happy with the pics and music I've picked out.  However I forgot how long they take to load onto youtube, so it is going to be awhile before I get them on there.  

EO is at an auction that is just south of Minong.  They had a thousand bales of hay they are selling.  EO just called and said 75% of it is junk, but he is going to see about getting 100 bales of the decent stuff.  I don't know if he will get any at all if everyone who wants some is thinking the same thing.  If they gave them away, how fun would that be to set up a maze in all that hay.  But I know EO would never go for having to haul it and set it up, and then we would be stuck with all that old hay once we were sick of the maze, so i guess it would be better to not have it.... but it would be fun too. heehee

So this morning I studied my WT... it is such an exciting lesson and great refresher.  I love how clear and easy it is to understand.  It is "to the point" which with my attention span, I appreciate!  We are sure living in exciting times and Jehovah is just helping us with all our baby steps.  It is so hard to not make a wrong turn or get distracted.  We all desire to do better than where we are each day.  I guess that is all Jehovah really asks, that we try to always improve ourselves is whatever we are doing.  He remembers we are dust and that He is always here to help us with our baby steps.  I wonder if we will ever really deserve Him.  Most likely not.  

I can't remember if I posted that I showed EO the pics I found for our new system house.  We talk about it all the time and he saw the plans I drew up years ago and he like it.  At that point it was still hard for him because he said although he really looked forward to the new system he couldn't really picture himself doing things in the new system.  Then it was shortly after that, we started having one talk after another saying, if you can't picture yourself doing things in the new system, you won't push to get there as hard.  For me, it is so soothing for me to make plans of what I want to do in the new system, and it keeps it resolved in me that I won't forever feel like I have the flu.  All these fevers I run every other day and all the lymph node flare ups and horrible pain I have in my body every moment of every day will soon be gone forever.  Plus all the things I missed out of doing for the past 13 years, the meetings, cong gatherings, parties, horse back riding,  ice skating, swimming, skiing... things I wanted to do with my family that I didn't get to do, one day I will be able to do them again. I feel like my life just slipped by and I wasn't even a part of it.  So I hang on to "what will be" as tight as I can.
