Tribute to President Hinkley

Molly Letcher just sent this to me (and Lauren) so I thought I'd share it with the rest of you.


Gordon B. Hinckley

Bizzie's Bday

Here are just a few pics from Bizzie's birthday scavenger hunt courtesy of Mom..

Made me giggle!

Did anyone notice that someone name anonymous assclown commented on Lauren's post? I thought it was pretty funny. Just thinking the word assclown makes me laugh. It's pretty random! :)

I chopped my do

This past weekend I cut my hair off. I've been wanting to do it for along time. When I saw how cute Katie's hair was it pushed me over the edge. I love it. It is so great. I recommend it to anyone who has been thinking about it. It's only hair, it grows back. Thanks Katie for the inspiration. I love you all and I miss you all so much.

Bizzie's Birthday Spectacular!

For those of you who have heard this is what I got Bizzie for her 21st birthday. 21 birthday cards with $1 in each. Before any of you get excited and think your getting a stack a cards for your next birthday let me remind you that, with the exception of Lauren, you are all over 21 so you missed your chance. Sorry! :)

Our fearless leader has passed

I hope by now everyone has heard that President Hinckley died sunday night. He died of old age. He was 97. It is bitter sweet that he is gone. He is now with his sweet wife, whom he loved so much. I know that he is in a much better place and I know that the church will continue to be lead by great men. I had a short cry over his death but I am happy that he is where he is.

Does anyone look at this anymore?

Books

So, let's get a conversation going . . . what books are everyone currently reading? I just finished Night by Elie Wiesel and When the Emperor Was Divine. I highly recommend both if you haven't read them already. Easy reads, Night really hits your emotions and When the Emperor Was Divine has beautiful prose. I read them both as a preview for teaching them to my students. I'm really excited, the last novel I tried with them was Things Fall Apart, which we didn't get to finish. Half of them loved it and half of them hated it, to be expected I guess. Another book I have been trying to get through (since Christmas) is Memoirs of a Geisha. I like it, I just have a hard time finding the time to read it. I guess I could spend less time on the computer, but computers take less thought!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Jamie!!! Your'e half way to fifty now!!!

I think some of you have seen this pic on my facebook but I thought I'd share it with the rest of you since it's just that cool! Like a million little meteorites..

No me gusta espanol

Sadly to say I think my days in Spanish IV are over, I'm thinking about droping next semester because I have a C- and I can't seem to raise and I'm sick of my teacher who doesn't teach just thought you would like to know.

Name?

If anyone has a more creative idea for the blog name let me know. That's the one Ben and I came up with a long time ago. I don't know if anyone even knew it had that name. . . anyway. Happy New Year (late) to everyone!

Beat the storm

Bizzie and I made it through the storm safely to Utah before the delays started striking so now we're here in time for school and as Martha would say, "that's a good thing."

Pretty pictures

I plugged my camera into my computer to get this picture:

to show you all how great my craft table looks with my fabulous Christmas presents (I know you're all jealous) and I found this great picture of Lauren at Buca di Beppos:

so I thought I'd share it with you all. :)

Good year so far!

I don't have any good resolutions. But I vote Rick posts some Christmas pictures so I can add my days in Rockton to my photo album. I'm a computer bum. Check it out.
