It's been a good week, except I have a cold.  I'll get over it sooner or later.  I have had the baby alot since Megan is back to work.  She is such a good baby.  Hardly ever cries.  She has started smiling and laughing.  There is no sweeter sound than a baby laughing.  LOL.  Well, I have my referral for my surgery from my doctor.  Now I just have to have what they call a bod pod test.  Body Mass Indicator test.  Then I have to take some classes.  I'm not entirely sure what all the classes entail, but I know part of it is explanation of the surgery, recovery, and how your life will change afterwards.  Get this....I have to have a psyc. evaluation befoe surgery as well.  Dr. said they want to make sure your not crazy.  We were laughing about it and I told him I hoped they wouldn't ask my husband, cause he would probably say that I was.  Doc thought that was pretty funny.  But, he said that Carls...

Busy busy weekend.  Moved cousins all day yesterday and then had early easter dinner at my moms.  MMMMMM she is a good cook.  Today was awesome.  Went to church this morning.  First time Ive sang in the choir in front of the congregation.  What a rush!!!  Then afterwards we went to South Pekin.  Our church just took over one of the churches there.  It was our first service there.  We had lots of food from the congregation.  All of us chipped in and brought the food.  They had a service and then all the little kids got to have an easter egg hunt outside.  The weather was beautiful.  We it actually ended up being and easter pick up because we had so many plastic eggs w/ candy that you couldnt step where there wasnt one.  We ended up with 3000, yes 3000 plastic eggs and about 20 or 30 kids.  You talk about fun.  Those kids were in seventh heaven.  I guess when they asked for donations of...
