Tag... I'm it !!

Andrea tagged me... so here goes. The tag is, that you go to the 4th picture file, 4th picture and post it. The 4th file is of the "Ault Cruise" and the 4th picture was of my sister Annalee. She looks fabulous as always. I believe we were in Belize on a really cool Book Of Mormon tour. It was a very fun vacation and it brings back great memories :)

Done with the Diet !!

So I have been on a horrible no Iodine diet for the past few weeks (not of my own free will, it was Doctor ordered). I could eat anything I wanted... as long as there is no Salt, Dairy, Eggs, or Red Dye #3. What can I eat you ask?? Friut, Veggies, 5 oz of meat (with nothing on it) and anything home made that doesn't contain any of the ingredients listed above. It has been really hard. But I didn't cheat once. I took the Radiation pill on Friday then went to Vegas with the Ault Family to see Donny & Marie. The concert was awesome, but I still say that Marie is a much better performer than Donny. She was amazing !! I hope I look that good when I'm her age with 8 kids......lol I better get working if I'm going to have 8 kids ;) Anyways we went to eat at Cheesecake Factory and the awesome waiter brought me the best meal I had in weeks. Steak, and Green Beans with nothing on them. It was fabulous ! Then to top the night off, I stood next to the waiter and he made me feel tall !! What a great night !



Then when I got home I did the thyroid scan on Monday and on Tuesday my (hot and single) Doctor called me and told me that scan was normal. (wow that's a first for me...... being called normal) So my first meal was a salad from Bajio and ice cream from Cold Stone. So my Thyroid is Cancer Free !! Here is a picture of the salad I ate !! It was soooo good, but it gave me bad heartburn because I haven't eaten anything like that for a while.


Things I missed......... Cheese, Milk, Olives, and Ice Cream !!! But I really did appreciate the diet because I found a lot of foods that are very healthy that I really like. So I am going to start eating healthy. Yeah For Me !! Oh yes, I also got a fresh peach shake from Taco Amigo today. It was the last day, so it was perfect timing ! Thanks Andrea for the last day heads up ;)

Elder Ault (the 4th)

My youngest brother Ethan is now in the MTC.....( well he has been there for a few weeks now) he will be an AMAZING missionary. He loves the Gospel more than life and he is so passionate about it. He will be leaving the USA and going to Switzerland on November 11th. Here are a few pictures of the day he left. (along with an awesome picture taken by Nicole )



The Newbie and the Oldies :)


Ethan with the girls at IHOP before the MTC



This was not posed at all...... it was so funny how it turned out. He just wasn't paying attention to Tyler taking the picture.

I got a letter from him last week that started out "My Beloved Sister" Mom nearly wet her pants laughing......... I don't know why that's so funny, I mean...what's not to love right ?

Ok later in the letter he said "When people here talk about their families & tell me how awesome they are, I just smile because they really don't know what awesome is :) I know that I have the best family in the whole world !" Then he told me that I am his favorite sister...lol Just kidding, just seeing if anyone really reads my posts.

So Shelby decided to write him a letter that starts out... " Dear Ethan From Shelby. I know how it is. I go with my dad all the time. and I leve home. I'm just like you I'm glad that you teach the scripchrs.......... enyway and the most inporint thing is I had fun and happy not sad happy. and you have to be happy to not just ne you to. I miss you. Do you like teaching the scriphrs? Do people like you? I love you 1000% and that is really truw. Have you had fun? Has enybody nown the scripchrs? Are you been happy eny of the time? I'll talk to you later. Love Shelby

Isn't that the cutest thing ?? Ethan responded and said he really really enjoyed reading Shelby's letter and it almost brought a tear to his eye. Wow, maybe he'll cry at least once on his mission.

We love you Ethan and pray for you all the time.
