Cold weather...

is hard for jon--now that its cold..he's gone from BURNING..to almost STINGING..when its cold, his body reacts to it..he says he feels like he's smothered in snow and its a stinging burning pain...
i cannot imagine being in such CONSTANT pain all day every day for the rest of your life..he takes medication for it--but like he says..he doesnt want to take heavy narcotics to be at a 0 level all the time, but he FOR SURE doesnt want to be at a level 10 where he cant even function or get out of bed..so he's compromising by trying to stay at a level 4 or 5--
he was asked to be IN CHARGE of the ward roadshow-can we say STRESSFULL!!!!!! he was given 5 days to come up with a 15 minute script..due tomorrow..together we've worked something out-so hopefully its approved and we can get busy with the youth--i will have to find someone to help me care for the girls on wed nights while jon and i are at the church for the next 6 weeks--i'll have to get working on that--
everything else seems to be going well--kids are still doing great in school, jon continues to work hard at PW, we've just been SOOOOOO blessed to have wonderful family--both sets of parents have bent over backwards to help us right now and we will forever be indebted to them...sometimes we sit back and think what just happened?!?! how blessed and grateful we are to have such tremendous support from our parents, siblings, friends and church members--continued thanks for everything everyone does to help our family---it never goes unnoticed!

The roadshow will be great...you'll have a lot of fun doing it. The hard part is getting the kids taken care of :(

In NY our roadshow was two days total. Friday night to write scripts, make plans, and then Saturday to practice and pull it all off that night. Crazy, but fast!
