Yes this quiz is from a pictures taken over a  year ago. On December 19th, 2008 at almost two in the morning we heard a noise.  It sounded like something had fallen on the house.  We put our coats on, and went outside to see the above. We were worried that the branch may have [...]

Is responsible for a number of my obsessions.  Red Hair.  Curly hair.  Twirly dresses.  Calling dogs “dumb.”  Bald heads*. Tonight as I was trying to feel better**, I curled up on the couch to watch “comfort movies.”  One of which was Annie.  It reminded me how much I loved the music, still do.  And it [...]

Even though it is freezing cold outside, I can be content to know that spring is coming. How do I know this?  We are past the shortest day of winter, and that means the days will be longer.  Which means that the sun will be out more.  Which means one day I can be warm [...]

Here is the answer you all have been waiting for… On October 12th we had dinner at Jacob’s parents’ house with the missionaries, Elder Pickett and Elder Drake.  Elder Pickett is from Canada and that happens to be Canadian Thanksgiving.  So using our super internet abilities, we found his family.  Jacob called his parents and [...]

Problem:  I am cold.  All of the time.  I can not warm up.  I sit in a room that is 88 degrees, and I need to put on a sweater.  And a stocking cap.  And gloves.  And wool socks.  And house slippers. Maybe it wil result in comfort.  Not always, especially if all those things [...]

Here is to hoping that 2010 will be much more better than 2009. *I am not saying that 2009 was bad, I just want a better 2010.
