I LOVE the temple. I love the comfort you feel after you have gone to the temple and the peace it brings into your life. BJ and I have made a goal to go to the temple once a week. Not going to lie, sometimes it is really hard to take the time out to go and BJ is usually the one who sets the example and helps us get there. Sometimes the week is super busy and we dont have time for a session so we will just do some initiatories. Well last week we did initiatories and one of the workers smiled at me and said, "when are you due?". I don't know why but it made me sooo happy! When BJ and I were walking to the car I said to him, "BJ- they noticed. I didn't even know you could tell with the temple clothes. But someone noticed I was pregnant!" Today I went by myself because BJ had already gone with the YM for baptism's for the dead earlier in the week; and another worker said, "When is your little baby going to come?" YEP same joy! I know this is silly but I really wanted to remember this feeling and this experience. Sometimes pregnancy is hard with the emotions, having to pee all the time, the heart burn, and the lower back pain; so simple things like this just make me smile :D
OK- now for the embarassing story. I just started working as a LPN at a homehealth agency and when I was training I got stuck with a needle. I decided to call my manager and find out the protcol of what my next step was. My manager's name is Cassie. After getting the courage up to call, I dial Cassie's number. Here is how the conversation went....
Me: Hey, is this Cassie?
Cassie: Ya. How is it going Christie?
Me: I am good. I just wanted to let you know that today while I was at so and so's house I got stuck with a needle and wanted to know what the protocol was. If I needed to fill out an incident report. I have a doctor's appointment in a few days so I can just get tested then. I wasn't sure who to tell, so I thought I would call you.
Cassie: oh no. Are you ok? Who did you go see? Do you need me to do something?
Me: I am fine. I am not worried. I just wanted to make sure I completed the paperwork and followed the companies policy.
Cassie: Ok..Umm what can I do for you. Do you need a ride? Are you ok?
Me: umm...who is this?
Cassie: This is Cassie your visiting teaching partner! Are you ok?
Me: (wanting to just hang up the phone with embarassment) I am fine. I umm called the wrong Cassie.
OH Man. I know this probably doesn't sound that embarassing to you. But it was probably one of my most embarassing stories and BJ told me I needed to document it so here it is. Poor Cassie was so concerned. She was like, "why are you telling ME this". LOL! It is funny now but it definitely was not then.
