We have a bit of a doctor dilemma. The pain management specialist has James's MRI and referral but when I went to schedule an appointment the first question was if he was on blood thinners. James has been on blood thinners since his stint was put in. We have to get permission from Dr. Memon for him to be off the blood thinners for at least 10 days. The problem is that Dr. Memon is very difficult to get a hold of. Finally Pam his assistant told me he would be in the office next Tuesday and would give us an answer then. Vickie thinks he should go to a chiropractor and I agree, but James refuses. Denise says they may not let him go off the blood thinners until it has been at least six months since his stint was put in. In the meantime he is almost out of pain killers. The waiting is so difficult when he is in so much pain.
Today we went in to town. We had lunch at El Rancho. It was packed and I wondered why in the middle of the week, and then I saw the sign for 99cent tacos on Wednesday's. We were probably the only ones in the restaurant who didn't order 99cent tacos. We also went to Walmart, Walgreen's to pick up 3 of my prescriptions, Splash & Dash to wash my car, Chase, and the post office in Vernon. These trips to town usually wear James out and he comes home and takes a nap.
How's that for a rain storm!
Tonite was a combined activity for Mutual with the Young Men in charge. We are going target practicing with guns. We all met at the church at 6pm. Again, I was the only Young Women's leader in attendance. We had 8 girls who came: Jordyn, Shelly, Kilee, Leann, McKenzie, Trenda, Mary, and our visitor from Georgia, Journey. There were 9 boys and 5 adults to round out the group. I tried to take some pictures but of course I was behind the kids when they were shooting.
That's Kilee with the gun. She's one of my Beehives who spent the night at my house. She likes my car and our house, and loves to do hair and nails. She and her cousins, Leann and McKenzie help their dads pour cand finish concrete. I hope that guns not loaded or she shouldn't be off the firing line.
Brother Applegate and his daughter Jordyn on by the back of the truck. Jordyn just turned 16 and became a Laurel. She is quiet and sweet and loves to draw. She wants to work in an animation studio. Glenso Swift is the boy shooting in the blue shirt and that's Kilee's father, Sean Hunsaker in the blue hat.
The young man in the white shirt is Daniel. I have never seen him before. That's Trey Campagna in the blue. He's nice looking but the Hunsaker girls don't like him very well.. Shelly Applegate is shooting her BB gun. Shelly is full of life. She was the only one of the girls who accepted my 5 day service challenge so I am very proud of her. She is also gung ho about Personal Progress. I tease her because she didn't know who Mitt Romney was.
McKenzie Hunsaker is the girl shooting her Dad's 45 pistol. It was loud. She is such a cute girl and wants to be a firefighter. That's her boyfriend in the camo sleeveless shirt, Cory McNeil, who is just recently reactivated. He comes to McKenzie's on Sundays and she reads to him from the Ensign. We have such awesome young women in this ward!
I think the other boy in the stripped shirt is Aaron Windsor.
I will name the people in this picture that I know: Brother Steve Allen, the young men's president is holding the gun on the left. He let me shoot his shotgun 3x and swears that I hit the first clay pigeon he threw. I think Trey, who was shooting the same time I was actually hit it. Trenda Wilhelm is the girl in the white shirt with the ponytail. Trenda is a beautiful girl with lots of spirituality but is also very fun loving. She is an all around great person. She wants to marry the country singer Hunter Hayes. I can see why. He is so cute and he can sing. The girl in the orange with the flower on her hat is my cute Leann Hunsaker. She is the Beehive class president. Leann is artistic and such a sweetie. I think she would be a nice match for Ben.
That's Mary Swift sitting on the truck. She is native American and the only girl who wouldn't shoot a gun. Mary is our Laurel class president and a senior at Show Low high school. She loves to play basketball! Mary has the greatest laugh!
Brother Wes Smith is on; the left loading Brother Allen's gun for Journey who is waiting there beside him.
Journey has never shot a gun before but she loved Brother Allen's shotgun. It's the same gun I shot.
Journey loves animals and was excited that she got to help the Miller's brand cattle while she was here. She has the cutest southern accent and the girls loved getting to know her.
There is Trenda shooting Brother Allen's gun. She said she once shot an elk at 450 yards.
This girl can do anything but she is not conceited. She is a sweetheart.
