Almost Famous.

See for yourself.


I thought everyone did this? Apparently, it is specific only to small towns..I guess...or so according to my colleagues. Regardless, I was excited! It took us a lifetime just to fill out the online application and get it to go through.

Wedding updates...it is SO CLOSE! Oh my goodness!! I'm very excited. My dress , for all of you in the loop, was turning into a nightmare. My lovely, wonderful, blessed seamstress from Peanut Festival has agreed to take on the task. The fabric is finally here!...all the way from Italy, so let the alterations begin!

Brent found a great deal on tuxedos...he is so handsome :). He leaves Thurs.(3/26) to go to CO. for a 'boy snowboarding' trip. I'll be in Austin with the girls!! wah wah! Very excited.

We booked the HONEYMOON!! We fly into Honolulu on April 19th!! I am so ready for some relaxation in the sun.

We started moving some of my things to the house. I don't know what's worse--the closet or the kitchen. I think I'm making progress in the kitchen; slowly removing all random, inappropriate items. The closet: this is how it's gonna play out...for a while...all our 'daily' work/play clothes are in the master closet and all church and seasonal clothes are in the other closets (each have our own separate closet). I still have NO idea how to organize the shoes. The only thing I can think of is that we are going to have to be very selective; all those that aren't worn regularly will be placed in Closet B. Option 2: Brent conceeds his rights to closet space and allows me full rights. :)

Mothers and Daughters

Just a warning, I am standing on my 'soapbox', so turn back now if you don't want to hear my rant of the day. I have strong opinions, so read at your own risk. :) I just watched this video, Mothers and Daughters , and had to share it. I watched a very disturbing episode of Oprah yesterday (the DVR recorded another episode for some reason). I won't go in to details, but despite all of the discussion I was very upset and surprised by the actions of the mother. She was basically the opposite of what a mother should reflect. She offered no love, support, encouragement and in this particular situation protection for any of her children. I particularly like how Elder Ballard mentions what expectations we as women are presented with today. Pointing out how, women are often made to look silly, and objectified. Our roles, that we are divinely given, are continually undermined . Women seek guidance on how we should look, what we should wear etc. from people that really do

What's Fabric?

David's Bridal Highly Educated & Well Informed Employee: Thank you for calling DB. How can I help you? Me: Hi, yes I'm trying to order several yards of fabric. DBHE&WIE: I'm sorry, what? I don't understand you? Me: I'm trying to order some fabric. DBHE&WIF: order what? Me: Fabric. F-A-B-R-I-C (yes, I spelled it out for her just mistakenly thinking this would in some way make the communicating proces easier). DBHE&WIE: I don't know what that is. Me: (stunned, but I'm used to working with stupid people on the phone...here's my attempt to 'dumb it down') the stuff the clothes are made of--cotton, taffeta..? DBHE&WIE: Oh! Oh, I don't know...let me transfer you to alterations. Long story short: alterations first language was NOT English. She transferred me back... Hung up--called another location. They're going to call me back tomorrow to let me know. ps Tanlee-you owe me.

Be Thankful

It's that time of year again!  Time to spend hours cooking/preparing, minutes eating (WAY too much food), all surrounded in the loud, wonderful chaos of family. The food, shopping and preparations can quickly and easily take over and  result in overlooking the real meaning of the holiday. Thanksgiving invites us all to reflect on our many blessings and remember to be grateful.  As you might expect, the things I am most grateful for are those that you can't buy.  This year we welcomed Brynlynn into our home and are SO GRATEFUL for her; that she is here, that she is healthy, that our family is forever.   I'm incredibly grateful for my knowledge of the gospel of Jesus Christ.  I'm grateful for the countless blessing He has bestowed upon me and my family.  I am grateful for Brent; for the man and husband that he is and more importantly the father that he is.  I'm so grateful for all of my immediate and extended family...I'm not under any false impression that it'
