Oquirrh Mountain Temple and long over due updates

We were so blessed to be able to go to the Temple dedication yesterday. We got to sit in the baptistery. Hannah and Emma are old enough to go and what a neat experience it was. It was neat to be able to tell the girls a little bit more about the temple, and have them excited for the future when they will get to come back. The talks were so good and the Spirit was so strong.

I haven't up dated my blog in so long, there is some things I guess I should up date.

Dusty has been at his new job for about 2 months. It's not working out. He is so unhappy with the company. (There is a lot more to it than that.) I guess it's good we didn't move before he figured this out. Now he has been looking and looking for a job at home, but nothing so far. He has had some good interviews just it's not what they are looking for I guess. It is really frustrating for me because I can't do anything to help. It is really hard for Dusty to leave us every Sunday night, to go back to a job he really hates. All I can do is pray and pray, that something will work out and He can come back home.

A side effect of the stress I have been feeling has been the MS flaring up. The beginning of July, my legs got weak and I was really shaky. My doctor gave me some steroid treatments and I got a lot better. The symptoms started to come back and when I saw my doctor they thought another treatment would help. When I was waiting at the office, I read an article about stress and women with MS. In a study done, women with short term stress seemed to have no complications with the MS. However, women with prolonged stressful situations, had something like a 75% chance of having a flare up of the disease. I had been feeling that's why my health had been bad, but it was kind of sad to confirm it.

I can't take stress away. And I can't brush off the things in my life that are stressful. I just wish Dusty could find something to bring him home.
