“Mothers, cherish that role that is so uniquely yours and for which heaven itself sends angels to watch over you and your little ones. Yours is the work of salvation, and therefore you will be magnified, compensated, made more than you are, better than you are, better than you’ve ever been.

He is blessing you & He will bless you. Rely on Him, rely on Him heavily. Rely on Him forever. And press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope.”

-Elder Jeffrey R. Holland

Bye Bye Socks!

I laughed so hard at your comment Rhonda I thought it was worthy to put on the front page of the blog. This is referring to the picture on the previous post...

The Shanes:
does he ever change out of those scrubs? and is that tape on the bottom of his socks... hiding the holes? ashley, i thought we talked about his sock situation. he's really distracted right now, i bet he wouldn't even notice if you put new socks on his stressed out feet!

Me: Unfortunately he lives in his scrub 24/7 that’s why he refused to buy any new clothes before dental school started (his clothes are a whole other issue - you have only grazed the surface with his socks). As for the socks, believe it or not that’s not tape on the bottom of them, it's the 3 strips from the Adidas logo. I finally threw out all of his old socks and opened up the new packs that were shoved in the back of his drawer! When I asked him how he liked his new socks he looked down at his feet wiggled his toes and said I quote “their squishy but there was nothing wrong with my other socks” Oh if only a had taken a picture before I tossed them out. Just imagine see-through bottoms and holes galore all in one sock! An there we have it - the cheap and stubborn Andy we all know and love!

Hey, there is nothing wrong with wearing scrubs 24/7. They are very professional that is why doctors wear them. Andy quit being so cheap!!! Hopefully he will change a bit once he is out of dental school. I know, that is never going to happened.

I feel you pain, I have to work pretty hard to convince my husband when he needs new clothes!

Oh my gosh that is so hilarious. Did you know that Sister Kirkham really did put patches on their socks when they got holes......not even kidding, she was doing it while we were there one time!! Del's the same way about clothes, he always says "scrubs save me so much money b/c I don't have to buy clothes" HAHA. he's still nothing compared to Andy though!

Hi , I am Rhonda's brother Richard
Dont let them tease you too bad about scrubs and socks. Better to spend money on wife.
