....since we made it official.  I think we have experienced each one of these faces and many more organically in these years.  Good thing we are so awesome at making them. *Note: the said anniversary was months ago, but i'm just now getting around to posting pics from the delightful day*

Last Summer, there came to being what we call "The Great Debate"  The subject was one so controversial it divided the family and made friends pick sides.  What was is all about you wonder?  Pandas...(dun, dun, dunn) It all started one day when the person i most often (except in reference to this debate) claim as my brother leaned over to his wife, and said, "Do you know what the stupidest bear

I would just like to publicly thank the Mister we call Superbowl.  (I wonder if he has a Mrs and if he does what does she celebrate? Oh maybe she is the Puppybowl?  Or is that his daughter and the Halftime Show is his wife and her Mother?  If that is so, then this Mrs. is greatly disappointed with his Mrs. because come on it could have been so much better, but i must give props to the neon clade

Not to long ago the Mister got a new phone (thank you two year contract for expiring).  It's an android something or other, that part is not important to this story.  The important part is that you can download apps for it. He was on cloud nine, exploring the wonderful world that comes with a new handheld device.  You know how that feels... like you can do anything, its all new and the

One year ago yesterday my Dad left this life.   I miss him and think about him every day.   I can't wait until i see him again. Here is one of my favorite pictures of him as a missionary in England.(that is him on the left)

So long. Farewell. Auf Wiedersehen. Good Bye. I would say its been nice knowing you but we both know that i would be lying.   So instead i'll just say, in the words of Dolly Levi...  So long Dearie. We should have said so long, so long ago!

Mister here, all it took for me to show up and post was a couple of weeks in the hospital and a diagnosis of a lifelong illness! I want to start off by thanking everyone for all the prayers and support. 4 CT scans, multiple X-Rays, 2 camera pill study's (swallowing a pill with a camera in it to take pictures as it makes its way through the GI), a colonoscopy, 2 EGD'S (scope down the throat and

Last night My Mister made me some soup. I'm sure i've bragged about his talent in the kitchen but seriously he has major cooking skills! In fact it turned out so good that we are having it again tonight for dinner. Now i know what your thinking... well then give me the recipe.

Life has its way of never stopping, even when you want it to most. Sometimes that is a good thing. Most days are good, but like everyone we have our moments. I can't imagine how hard life would be if we did not have the knowledge and testimony of the gospel and our Heavenly Father's plan for us. Since my Dad's passing there has been so much love and expressions of sympathy sent our way and

This week is one of those.I really hesitate posting this but i felt like for whatever reason it needed to be noted here. This week will be one of the happiest and saddest of my life.

It is so strange to think that we have already embarked on a new year. Last new years feels just like yesterday, yet on the other hand it feels like forever ago. I want to say that nothing much happened in the year 2009, but as i think about it there were things of note. Some wonderful, others scary, some funny and others sad. But isn't that what life is all about?The beginning of a new year

Ate the left overs of lunch still nothing. Then i tried to think of you and christmas songs. That helped. But I wish you were home already. I'm going to take a nap while i wait for your return.

This is a fabulous picture from our senior trip to Moab and Arches.  Oh how I wish I still looked like that with my shirt off!  I wasn't the most ripped of my friends but I was not too shabby!  Maybe I will be able to work off my belly and get back to the high school days!

Why is it that i had to wake up from the weekend with a headache?This give me more sympathy for people, especially my mister.Why do people call and not leave a message?I vow to try and always leave a message, even though i hate talking to them.Why did Wake Forest have to loose in the first round & KILL my bracket for the office pool?At least husband is ahead in his bracket pool.Why did it have to

In honor of the first day of spring i will show you my ideal Easter dress this year.Looking at the price tag you won't be seeing me smelling the newly sprung flowers in this ensemble. However, i think i may just have to pair those shoes with something else, seeing as they are only 22.99. Go check them out, they also have some really cute sisters for sale as well.{Dress from here, Shoes from

After being told multiple times not to let my cold feet touch him in bed, i persisted anyway, and our bickering ended like this:Mr.~ stop itMrs.~ but here, you have socks on (rubbing his feet to get warm)Mr.~ umm... that is my knee{after much laughter he says} ~ are they really that hairy?*For the record 1) No, they are not that hairy, 2) he was wearing sock, 3) i was desperate to warm up those

Sorry no posts lately.It seems like i've dealt with more unhappy customers lately than in a while. Or maybe its just that i'm letting their unhappiness pass on to me. Anyway the point is i haven't felt much like posting lately. I'll work on a new post to come very soon, and hopefully i'll get some film developed from our zion's trip. Until then here are some pretty pictures that make me happy.

I think that i might like to adopt a house plant. I've never been much of a plant person, with the exception of flowers. But ferns, ivy, nor indoor trees have ever caught my fancy. Granted when i was a lot younger i did get a little cactus as a gift from my dad's business trip. The poor thing flowered once maybe twice but die from lack of water. That's saying something, don't you think?

I'm all caught up on my work and just thought i'd drop you a note to see how you are today. I love you. I miss you. Days like today really make me want to just stay in bed with you, drink hot coco and watch movies. Oh, well. I guess someday we will get to do that. Oh wait that will be this weekend. Oh how i can't wait.Love you always,Jen{Beautiful photo from Amber}

Read Teddy Roosevelt's diary, the day his wife died.  So sad.  And notice the irony of the date.  Alice was 22, Teddy was 25.  Some times i forget that our presidents and the great figures of the past are just normal people. Its bitter sweet to be reminded of this.found via Oh Happy Day

This weekend we took down the final christmas decor. Not counting the lights on the bushes buried under the numerous inches of snow.  Judging by the track record of weather it could be June by the time we are able to defrost them from the branches.  It is always sad when christmas is boxed up.  It means the magic of the season is through and its back to the mundane.  Gone are the happy carols

Dear Jon & Jen,In only a few hours, we will have our last few precious seconds together. Actually we get an extra second together thanks to the pull of the moon & the sun. But, that is beside the point.  I must say i am sorry to leave you.  I like to think that i may have been one of the best years to grace your life time.  Yes, i brought sad times but i did bring so many happy ones as well.

because today i finally did something i've been meaning to for a while now.  The story beings a while ago {honestly i can't remember how long ago but it was a while}.  I had every intention of going through my things {clothing & "stuff"} selling some of the clothes to a consignment store, having a yard sale, and what was left going to DI.  My plan was perfect.  I would get rid of things i don't

American Eagle launched a new line for kids called 77kids.  They've got lots of cute things.  But there was one thing that really caught my eye.  This skirtIts called something like the sparkley tu tu skirt.   I first thought lucky for me i can sometimes fit into the largest kids size {14 or 16}. Though i'm sure it wouldn't look as cute on me as this little girl. But then when i checked back...

To conclude our date night on friday, we worked on our relationship by dying hair.  {the pictures really don't do jon's hair justice} To continue the bonding {and to use up the left over dye} we did my hair as well.  Now we really feel closer than ever with our matching locks & outfits & look on our faces.While passing the time waiting for the magic to happen we made a discovery.....a squirrel on
