Where do all my days go?

I feel like the time is just flying by and I feel like I have accomplished little. I haven't been feeling the best lately. For a while my headaches were almost gone. Now they are back with a vengeance. For the past week I have had pretty severe ones. Saturday we took Shadow home. That is always such along drive and with my headache it made the trip ten times worse. It is so hard to be in the car for ten hours with children and a headache. Monday David only had to go to PT then he had the rest of the day off. It was so nice to spend the day with him. We did some shopping and went to lunch. Yesterday I met with Christy's new counselor. I am excited for Christy to start seeing her. I really feel like she will help Christy. She has so many new and different ideas than Dr. Hall. Since we have moved into this ward neither David or I have received callings. I love being able to attend Sunday School with David. A few weeks ago David and I were supposed to meet with the first counselor before church. David went to that meeting but I was not feeling well so I didn't go. They wanted to ask David and I to be the primary teachers for the 11 year olds. But I guess since I wasn't with David and a man alone cannot be a primary teacher they asked another couple to be the teachers. To be honest I was relieved. I am not a big fan of teaching primary. Even if it would mean spending all three hours of church with David. I really enjoy Relief Society. Everytime my Visiting Teacher comes she asks me if I have a calling and I say no. Then she asks if I want to teach Primary and I say no. So for the last few days I have been thinking how fun it would be to be an achievement day leader. I was thinking that that would be a calling that I think I would enjoy even though Christy is in achievement days and the one time I went she let me know that she hated when I was with her at things like that. Anyways last night I had an interview with the Bishop to renew my Temple recommend and before I left he asked me if I would be an assistant achievement day leader. I told him that I would love too but I was not sure how Christy would feel. I let him know what she had said and he laughed. He said he really feels like it will be a good experience for me and Christy. I am excited about this calling. Tonight I meet with a member of the stake presidency to finish getting my Temple recommend and then Thursday evening is ward Temple night and we are lucky enough to have a sitter. I am looking forward to going to the Temple as I always do and the best part is that I get to be there with David. David is doing well in school. He is really good and has a lot of talent. David and I added a little extra stress to our lives by going to see a lawyer to revise some of his divorce decree. Hopefully though this stress we are having now will eliminate most of the stress we have in our relationship with regards to his ex wife and visitation. This past week i have also been thinking about family and how grateful I am for all mine and David's family both immediate and extended. We have received so much from our families. On Monday as David and I were driving thru Point Loma I was looking at the homeless people and just thinking that I know that we will never be in that position. Besides that fact that both David and I are capable and have the skills to work we also know that if something were to happen that we both have families that we know would be there to support us and help us in anyway they could. I am so grateful to know that we have Eternal families and that we have the gospel in our lives. Even if we don't have much in the way of material things and we have don't have a whole lot of money we have family. I am looking forward to the day that David and I can enter the Temple and be sealed. I know that I want to be with David forever! As Fathers Day is fast approaching I can't think of any one gift that would be able to appropriately express my love and gratitude to both my earthy father and my Father in Heaven. I posted on my face book a few days ago that I have the worlds best dad. I have the worlds best parents. I wish that I knew how to let them know how much I really do appreciate and love them and i just feel like words are not enough. I know that my life would not be anywhere as good as it is today if I didn't have the parents that I have! I am so grateful for the love that they give to all of us kids even if at the moment we don't deserve it. I can't wait until August so that as a family we can attend the Beasley Family reunion. I am greatly looking forward to that. I better stop before I start crying :)
