I saw Michael Jackson's Thriller video for the first time this weekend.  Colin made me stop when I was flipping through channels because he said everyone in the world but the two of us had seen the video and it was important that we watch it for our cultural education.  So, we watched the girl [...]

This was a big weekend.  Phoebe and Jonathan (my sister and brother-in-law) came to visit for the weekend and watched General Conference with us.  I love spending time with them!  Phoebe and I went to the farmer's market together Saturday morning, then we all watched Conference together at the stake center.  After the first two [...]
