Way back in 1999 I was called to serve in the Young Womens. Because I served in that organization for 5 years I had the amazing opportunity to watch the little beehives grow and learn and gain their testimonies. One in particular I became quite close to. I felt so blessed that I could remain in YW with her and be a part of her growth, and learning. I was released from my calling the summer that she graduated high school and left YW. We have kept in contact over the last 6 years. And today I went to the temple to attend her wedding. It was a wonderful experience, and I am so glad that she wanted me there for that special occasion.

A wonderful opportunity
Today I attended a very special wedding at the Draper Temple.

It was an accident!
Earlier this week, during a routine after bath hair drying, I poked Sheridan in the eye with my pinkie finger. Apparently she was more mad than I realized. I found this note on my mirror later that night. Ahhhhhhh, gotta love my hyper-sensitive 9 year old.

What do I love about my husband?
His sunny personality! He is warm, and caring, and full of all sorts of emotions. You see, it is his birthday and look how happy and excited he is!
I did it!
I ran my first 5K this morning! Yeah, for me.
It was a perfectly overcast, chilly, drizzle-y morning for a nice little run. Bountiful had a "sweethearts" run that my brother signed me up for a few weeks ago. I have been really excited and nervous. I ran with two of my brothers and one sister-in-law. But she doesn't count because she left us at the starting line, and we never saw her again:( the jerk.
Anyhoo, I did it in 35min. I know that is nothing spectacular, but it was my first and I was just doing it for fun anyway. My brother wanted someone to run with him because he knew his wife would run too fast. So, I used it as a little "try out" of sorts. I wanted to see if I would even like that sort of thing. And guess what? I do! I loved it. And I felt amazing afterward! So, next up.........10K with my cousin in a few months:)

Happy Birthday, Madelynn!
Madelynn turned 7, on the 7th (haha). At her party we played some bean bad tossing games, doughnut eating (on a string, no hands), and did a balloon stomp. Of course I have no picutes of any of that!:( I am so lame. She got some really awesome presents from her friends, and grandparents. And from us, she got a turtle(forgot to include a picture of that one-oops). She was a happy girl. It was a good day:)

Was it worth it?
AHH.....Brian and his snuggie:) Thanks to Jamie and Scott for this awesome Christmas present. It gets much use at our house. But I want you to know, I risked my life to get this picture. So I ask you, was it worth it? The possible loss of ME, for one shot of Brian in his snuggie? I say YES!
she's at it again!
This is a common occurrence at our house. She loves to play in the dirt of my plants. I have no idea why. If given enough time unnoticed (like this particular instance) she empties the dirt onto her head and shoulders. By the handful. Why? I know not. Unfortunately she is not picky about where we are when she decides to play in the dirt. She emptied one of my grandma's plants out when we were visiting my mom last weekend:( And look at her face. She doesn't even look happy. Just her ever-present pout. So whats the point?
