"Look and pray for opportunities to let your light shine that others may see the way to Jesus Christ."
Things I learned on social media this morning. Candi saw a big snake in the road and wanted to know what it was. Someone said it was a bull snake. Tina Allen said she had a bull snake in her bed the other day which really freaked me out!
Not only was there this snake story on social media but the story on "Lark Rise to Candlerford" was about a snake that was loose in Lark Rise and at one point was in Emma's laundry basket. What is it about snakes today?
I found myself in Brother Goodman's dental chair this morning. He has an office set up in his storage building. He is going to fix my front chipped tooth. When Dr. Douglas fixed it last time she just put something on it to fill up the hole. I thought I would be in the chair for a total of 5 minutes. It turned out to be over an hour. Brother Goodman is very thorough and quite a perfectionist. He said I had some decay and he needed to drill but he didn't think I would feel it, which I didn't. After drillin' and fillin' I have a beautiful new tooth that is better than the original. The thing that took the most time was finding a color to match my other teeth. I said, "You mean instead of whitner for my tooth, you are making it yellow"? He said yes.
When I asked Pierce how much I owed him he said, "Is $100 too much"? Not at all. As I was writing out the check he came out and said never mind. James was going to fill in the holes he dug for his green house line in exchange. James also has four cavities that need to be filled. I said okay but if he fails to perform let me know and I will finish writing out this check. I couldn't be more happy with my new tooth.
Sister Goodman came over after my appointment and gave me some mini Premium saltine crackers. How thoughtful. So I came home from the dentists with a new tooth I have not paid for and a box of crackers.
Autumn called me this afternoon to do an interview about how we prepared for marriage. I told her the most important way we prepared was to be worthy to go to the temple. James said he read the Book of Mormon I gave him. He also had a car and I had some money saved. We determined that we would finish college and get our degrees, which we did. We discussed some other things and Autumn asked me if she could use this interview and put it on a podcast for one of her classes. I told her that would be fine.
Molly is visiting Jared and Kacey while Autumn and Scarlett are there.
James spent a few hours working at the Howard's today. He is redoing all of the woodwork around their 23 windows. It is quite a big job.
I felt very tired and unmotivated again today. It is hard to get anything done when I feel this way. Also my knee hurt and it was difficult to get my steps in, that's the reason I only got a little over ten thousand. I am enjoying listening to my book, "His Lady in Hiding."
I did work on finances a while this afternoon and James and I studied our scriptures before going to bed. We also watched "Lark Rise to Candleford" and I watched this week's episode of "Hetty Feather." Both of these series are from the BBC, the British Broadcasting Company.
James is stressed out that Armando is not going to be ready for the city inspection tomorrow and he won't cancel or change it again because he has already done that twice.

Pierce looking at James's teeth. No, James is
not on fire. I guess that is the reflection
of the light above. This picture was taken
through a window in a door.
I wonder if James could build a platform
like this with a swing in it.
Ollie looks bored.
