We came down in the truck so James could put up a new beam at the end of our carport.  He got the new beam yesterday and today Laro and Reuben came over to help him put it up.

I left for my infusion appointment at AARC a little after 9am.  I was finished around 12:30 and drove to the Hobby Lobby in Ahwatukee to get some more lightbulbs to add to the 14 I already have.  I got 19 for a total of 33.  I need 13 more.  Tomorrow on the way home we will hit the Hobby Lobby's at Greenfield and Baseline, and if necessary the one at Signal Butte north of the 60.

James needed to use the truck for a few minutes when I returned.  When he returned I got us lunch at Jersey Mikes.  

This afternoon I made a trip to Sweeties to get some yellow candy to put inside my lightbulbs.  I was going to get M&M's but they were an ugly color and too expensive so I got 2lbs. of Lemonheads. I was able to fill 28 lightbulbs which means I have to go back to Sweeties tomorrow.  

Sheri brought Darrel's kids over after soccer practice.  They stayed here until Darrel arrived and then they went to see Lois with us.  Ruby came with us.  I visited with Lois and James visited with Dawn.  Darrel joined in too.  The kids went out to play in Dawn's room and we didn't see them again until it was time to leave.  It was good to see that Lois was feeling so much better.  

On the way home we stopped at McDonald's because I wanted to try their Mighty Wings.  They were OK, but I wouldn't order them again.  

In other news, Kim, Brian, and Joseph left for Portland, Oregon,  this afternoon.    Cody, Chelsea, Carter, and Cash Pace are moving there.  Cody drove a moving truck there last week.  Brian drove Cody's car today and Chelsea went in their other car with the two boys.  I hope they have a great time.  Sorry to see the Pace's leave but I know how excited they are.

I had scriptures and prayer with James this morning before he left for the valley.  He didn't want to go. I reminded him that I would be down on Thursday.  Some notes from my gospel study:

"The strength of a family comes in large measure from how completely it's members are united in 

righteousness."

"The greatest service we can provide to others in this life...is to bring them to Christ through faith and

repentance." - President Thomas S. Monson 

I found my appointment card for the arthritis center.  I thought my appointment was for March 4th but it's not until March 14th.  I gave myself my last Enbrel shot on February 9th and knew I couldn't wait that long for some kind of medication, so I got on the phone and called to see if I could change my appointment.  I talked to someone named Sasha.  She said the only appointment she had available was tomorrow at 9:15 with Dr. Caldron.  I told her I would take it.  So now instead of going down on Thursday, I am going this afternoon.  

I left Vernon around 3pm.  When I arrived in Chandler James had a Jersey Mike sandwich waiting for me.

He was happy to see me.

We left for the valley around 9:30 this morning in the truck, with James driving.  We stopped at Arby's in Payson for lunch and I had a most delicious bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich.  We arrived in Chandler around 1:30.

James had a meeting with Zaki and gave him a Book of Mormon.  Lloyd was there fixing James's powered concrete finisher. 

Stacy was very friendly and visited with us awhile.  She told us about Dallin choosing to move out because he didn't want to follow the rules.  That is so sad to me.  He is staying at his friend Mario's house and he is definitely still seeing Sarah who is not a good influence.  We will pray for him and I will try to figure out a way to reach out to him.

I went shopping this afternoon with Sheri, Max and Evan to get a Halloween costume for Evan.  He found a skeleton costume at Target and got a sword to go with it.  He has a costume party to go to tomorrow.

James and I had dinner at Jersey Mikes.  James now likes the Jersey Shore Favorite sandwich as much as I do!

James and I watched a movie with Stacy and Paul before going to bed.  It was called "Now You See Me" starring Mark Ruffalo.  We both enjoyed it.
