Posters and Tires

Ugh, so today on my way to work my steering wheel started shaking while I was merging onto the I-10 from the US-60...it freaked me out a little so I slowed down and checked out my wheels when I got to work. Everything looked okay - so in true girl fashion, I totally forgot about it. I got out of work 4 hours later and glanced at my driver's side tires and to my dismay the back tire was flat. It has been so muggy this week and today was no exception...so I go back inside and ask a guy I work with if he would help me change my tire. I know how to change a tire, but I don't want to change it! He had to work for about 10 more minutes, but feeling better about the whole situation I decided to go out and get the tire-changing started...well 10 minutes goes by and I am just tightening the lug-nuts on the spare tire. I let my coworker finish tightening my lug-nuts, but I forgot how fun changing a tire can be. Any ways, I took my car to Discount Tire and had my visiting teaching companion, Jody, come and get me. We went to Wal~Mart and got candy for our candy posters for this month's visiting teaching message (yea, cutting it a bit close...) but they turned out so cute and they were so fun to make!! After we made the posters, I went back and got my car with the help of my friend Charla.

It says: Families can bring us so much (Joy)! Sometimes we feel like (airheads) and people just (Snicker) at us, but family will always help in a (crunch). The best (way) to (raisin) your (baby) is to have a (good) foundation in love and harmony. Families are like a (symphony) - they are interesting and delicate, but very powerful forces in our lives. So cruise down life's (avenue) with your family and en-(joy) the ride!

Love, Ashley and Jody

Yes, I made up what the poster says. Well, I mean, the theme for this month from the Ensign was strengthening families, so I didn't make that up, but I did make up the poster so we could use candy to teach our theme!

I also had some fun with my Creative Memories program and made door signs for my:

Laundry Room

TV Room

Office

Bathroom

I did steal the sayings from stuff I've seen before, but I thought the signs were pretty cute. So today was very eventful and productive, even if it cost more than I was anticipating. But I have to say thanks to Becca, because had it not been for her clever budget, I may not have had all the funds necessary to get a tire unplanned like that. I love my friends!!

Kisses,

Ashley
