I Googled Dawn and Craig and found them and we talked for hours the other night. She has seven children now!! She topped off her family with boy/girl twins last spring. It was wonderful talking to her again. We talked about everything that has gone on in our lives for the last five years or so since we last talked and about the Morman church. I am very proud of her and all she has done with her life. I really hope to be able to see her again someday soon. I have to see all these kids!!! I feel that they are mine as I feel that she is mine. I am also very very proud of Anthony, her oldest son, who is almost sixteen now. He sounds so wonderful. I know that being in the Morman church has a lot to do with how Dawn's life has turned out and am very thankful for that. It does make me want to keep investigating the church although it doesn't make me want to rush to join. I know it is right for her. Whether or not it is right for my family and me might be a different thing.
The elders were here this evening. I told them I wanted to read the book of Acts before I went any further with them and that I would be looking at other churches, too, and they said that was fine although they, of course, are still pushing LDS very hard as they always do when you talk to them. Jeremy and I are going to take a tour of their church tomorrow evening with them. They brought a man with them tonight, I don't remember his name, I'm bad about that, and they have several times brought members with them when they visit, but this time I sensed pretty quickly that this man was different even before they told me who he was. He seemed to just kind of glow when he spoke and halfway through the visit they explained who he was. I forget the title he holds but he isn't just a missionary but holds a high position in the church here. It was impressive that someone could have the air about him that this man did is Morman. I told them that I wasn't jumping in the water but was just looking at it for now and again they said that was fine and then went on with this evening's lesson. ;-) Tonight they talked about chastity and with it about Jeremy and I getting legally married in Nebraska since Nebraska doesn't recognize the common law marriage we had in Texas. I explained that we were bothered by that, too, but that I would lose my disability benefits if we got married legally here. They said that they would consult a lawyer about it. Internesting....
Being behind on all our bills finally caught up with us and we lost our Cox phone and they will be shutting down our cable and Internet at any time now. We went and got a Cricket cell phone and have a converter box for one of the TV's so far and that will have to do for now. I have internet on the cell phone and will use the one at the library after this is shut off. It's a bit of a bummer but we've accepted it. I'm glad Jeremy doesn't seem to hold it against me that this is because of the money we spent helping Jami. We will get back on our feet again and get it all together again soon. We were planning to cut the cable and internet to give us a break to catch up and keep the phone but we were to far behind to even keep the phone with them.
OK. Bedtime. See you.
