Stand for Who You Are!

This blog really has nothing to do with me but I just loved this video that I wanted to share it with everyone! I've been teaching as a substitute Seminary teacher this week. I love the time spent with the youth of the Church and paticularily listening and learning from their testimonies and I'm always so amazed with their strength and knowledge. I was sent this video clip and sat in awe with this young woman who obviously was in a forum setting and I'm sure in front of many people which would have been extremely intimidating! I hope you enjoy it as well!

THE SILENT ASSASIN

Dad was so quiet about doing "The Biggest Loser" contest and really wasn't too enthusiastic about participating. I remember sitting at dinner and listening to the conversations about who to worry about winning the contest. Well, you better start worrying because...Dad weighed in this morning and can you say

15 lbs

You read it right....Dad has lost 15 pounds and is now ready for the challenge!!!

A Christmas to Remember

EVEN TOBY IS STANDING AT THE WINDOW WAITING FOR EVERYONE TO ARRIVE! WE CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU BUT YOU BETTER HURRY OR ALL THE TRASH WILL BE EATEN! WE HOPE THE WEATHER HOLDS OUT FOR SAFE AND FAST FLYING!!!!

I have to admit, when I was posting the blog pics last night I was nodding asleep but I promised myself if these cute Moms with their busy busy schedules had time to post a blog I could at least post something once every 3 months. So, does this count for the next 3 months as well since I posted twice in 1 week......just thought I would ask! Ok so here are the last pics I'm going to post and the rest you will have to see in person.

Ok, so don't have a heartattack! I won't make this blog long although you all know I could blog FOREVER right now trying to catch up। It's not that spending 3 absolutely fun and memorable days at State with my family or attending Brit's Graduation or decorating for ProGrad, or Lindsey's proposal, or house hunting, or Wedding planning, or our trip to Europe, or Jake and Lindsey's Wedding, or the MOVE, or Hurricane Ike, or the remodeling crisis, are any less important but I've decided to unveil a couple of rooms which are close to being finished. After you get over the shock of an updated blog let me know what you think!
