I couldn't sleep (again) so I decided that I would post something since it has been almost a month since I have. Things have been really busy for me lately. I have been subbing at the school alot, Relief Society meetings, trips to SLC, sewing for humanitarian project, cleaning house(this seems to be pretty low on the list:)).

John's eye is healing but kind of slow. The surface of his eye is about 70% healed. His vision is pretty bad, testing at 20/200. He can see some but says it is like looking out of a plane window while going through clouds. The doctor said that at this point it is likely that his vision will stay where it is, possibly could get as good as 20/50 because at one point about 4 weeks ago that is where it tested. We only have to go down to the doctor once a week now instead of 2 or 3 times. He is really sick of being around the house all the time so he tapes the patch on as tight as he can and also has to wear another harder patch to protect his eye and has been going with my dad to feed. It is amazing how much an injury like this can take out of a person. He has been helping teach a hunter saftey class every night this week and has really enjoyed that.

Ashley is in Cody WY this week with Tom. She went up to meet his parents while he is on spring break. She has been working at Sills restraunt in Mountain View and then will start her job with the town again the first of April. She is excited for that. They have set the wedding date for June 27th in the Manti Temple and the reception will be on the 28th in Lyman. An open house up in Cody on July 1st (I think??) She is really happy and things seem to be going really well for her.

Josh started track this week. It is the first time he has done a school sport. The first day he practised when I picked him up, he came slowly out to the car and got in and said, "I don't think I can move my legs again". He will get better at it I' m sure. He is going to do sprints I guess.

It was snowing today when I got home from school and for some reason we had water dripping down the outside of our chimney pipe onto the stove. NOT FUN!!! John and Josh had to climb up on the roof and fix the leak around the pipe. I was really very nervous about it because John's depth perception is really bad now with one eye and there was ice on the roof. I could just see them falling off. (That would be just what we need huh!) They got it fixed and all was well.

Well I guess I had better at least try to get some sleep since I have to teach again tomarrow. I'm going to have to figure out how to sleep all night. Any ideas? My dad would say to "just close your eyes." I can't get that song out of my head ... "Good Night Sweetheart its time to go..." (thats all I can remember of it :) over and over, maybe thats what is keeping me awake??? :)

Good Night Everyone!
