****Edit**** I wrote this last night while I was watching the debate but my battery died and I was too exhausted to move my body to get the cord, so I am posting this morning. None of this drivel really makes any sense, but it makes me go to the happy spot where I have beautiful hair. Please comment and tell me who you think you are voting for or what you thought of the debate. Most of you probably have much more constructive thought than I do. Did I mention that a was distracted by Sarah's... Read Full Story

This camp out was not for the faint of heart. When I was talking to our stake president he got grossed out by it. Starting mumbling about football. I don't know anything about football, unfortunately. No one in this house ever watches or plays football. Of course, since we do not have broadcast TV that would make watching football kind of tricky.... But on to the camp out. It is pretty easy to explain. The first picture shows the boys with ALL of the gear they took. Basically no gear. If you... Read Full Story
Oh my gosh! I have been wanting to post about last nights broadcast all day. I had a small problem, though. Gremlins. In my head. But they are gone. So on to important topics. First... We were served a catered meal before the broadcast. Yum. We gathered at our stake center, which luckily is only about 5 minutes from my house. We had 220 women. That is a remarkably HUGE number. Let me explain to those of you out in Utah. Our Stake covers 7 counties. Yes, 7. Some women have to drive over... Read Full Story

And he can't breathe. Or swallow. or think. It is the pits!!! I bought him these tissues. I started using them this morning because my nose is snuffly after sleeping with the windows open. They are really neat. They give you just a whiff of Vicks. It kind of lingers on your nose for a bit. I'm liking it... Read Full Story

I just read this book. I absolutely loved it. Normally I read who-dunits. I prefer historical who-dunits, so I guess this is not too far from the norm. This main character in this story is Joanna. We meet her in the New Testament. She is healed by Jesus. Her husband works for Herod. I think. I would have to go get the book and check. That is not the important part. The important part is Joanna and her relationship with her cousin Mary and Mary's son, Jesus. It is powerful and subtle and... Read Full Story
