I have had a little case of writers block on and off for a few days.  Everything is either too boring to read about (and therefore write about), or too interesting to get around to writing about.  The kids and I went to a 50 cent movie (Alvin and the Chipmunks) yesterday with my friend Natalie […]

One of the things I love about Colin is that he does things he hates to do for the sake of doing what he thinks is right.  For example, today our Elder’s Quorum is out of town helping with the tornado cleanup in the Clinton, AR, area.  Colin really loathes doing manual labor like this.  […]

One of the things Colin and I like to do together is shop for groceries.  We almost always do our grocery shopping together, since we both like the bright lights and colors and want to have some control over the food that comes home.  We like to spend time together, too, and it's a little bit […]

Today I had a great Primary Presidency meeting with both my counselors (yay, my first counselor is getting well!) and BOTH my kids at my home.  We had the unusual opportunity to meet in the afternoon instead of the evening because both of my counselors work at night in the healthcare field.  Of course, that […]

During all this Arkansas drama, my sister Phoebe married Jonathan Hemingway.  We drove to Arizona for the wedding and festivities and I had a great time with my family.  It was fun to meet Jon's family–they're really nice people who live in or near Salt Lake City, Utah.  I think his parents are like my […]
