Do you know your Crayons?

2008-03-21T23:34:00.003-07:00

Red Is my True Color

2008-03-18T23:20:00.001-07:00

What's Your True Color?

My Result: Red

Your color is red, the color of racy sportscars, blushing cheeks, and luscious roses. Red symbolizes passion, romance, and love. So, since you're ruled by red, you probably trust your feelings more than your brain and tend to act spontaneously. If you see something you want, you go for it without thinking twice — impulsive is your middle name. You don't wait around for people to make decisions, either; you dive right in. Quite the romantic, you pay close attention to your emotions. In fact, if your heart isn't in what you're doing, you won't be satisfied. Of course, even when you do pour all your energy into the projects you tackle, your impetuous nature means your passions can shift as frequently as the wind. That's why some reds have trouble with commitment. Our advice? Next time you're feeling fickle, think before you act, if possible. You might be surprised at the results. Overall, though, it's great to be red. No one lives life more completely than you do.

What are you?

Laundry Helper!

2008-03-18T09:17:00.001-07:00

Allie has always loved to help me to laundry. She is really good at sorting it. She knows that the whites all go together and the colored and the black goes all in one pile. She still hasn't figured out that reds go in there own pile but I have a feeling she will soon enough. I cant complain because I come home and the clothes are all in there right piles. She loves to help me get the clothes out of the dryer too. She loves that there warm. She is not a big fan of folding anymore it takes to much time in her opinion but when that basket is empty its play time she loves to be in the laundry basket. She thinks she is so funny when she gets inside

Happy Birthday Grandma!

2008-02-13T20:49:00.001-08:00

Happy 80th Birthday
Grandma English!
This picture is of my grandma when she was 18. She is one of the most beautiful woman I know. There is a picture (not this one) that hung above my parents bed growing up and now I am pretty sure it is still in my fathers bedroom. But everytime I looked at the picture. I felt safe and dreamed that I could do my hair the same way. I never met my grandma but I love her just as much as my other grandmas. Every story my father told me about her was amazing. If I am half as wonderful as her I will be a lucky woman. I remember when I was little I would go and look at my grandparents wedding picture and I would talk to them and ask them questions. I also remember laying on my parents bed and looking at there pictures for hours and wishing I could hug them. I love her hand writing. I got to see some letters or cards she wrote to my dad. I wish I could watch her write. I feel so lucky that I am her granddaughter and proud that I share some of her geans. Someday we will meet agian and it will be a great reunion. I love knowing that she is watching over me.
I love you Grandma!

Gordon B. Hinckley 1910~2008

2008-01-27T21:45:00.000-08:00

“Our lives are the only meaningful expression of what we believe and in Whom we believe. And the only real wealth, for any of us, lies in our faith.”~Gordon B. Hinckley

"The time has come for us to stand a little taller, to lift our eyes and stretch our minds to a greater comprehension and understanding of the grand millennial mission of this The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This is a season to be strong. It is a time to move forward without hesitation, knowing well the meaning, the breadth, and the importance of our mission. It is a time to do what is right regardless of the consequences that might follow. It is a time to be found keeping the commandments. It is a season to reach out with kindness and love to those in distress and to those who are wandering in darkness and pain. It is a time to be considerate and good, decent and courteous toward one another in all of our relationships. In other words, to become more Christlike."

So All we have at our house is is a tree with lights. Allie loves the tree I just wish it had the angel on top and the ornaments on it.

Oh and I really want Gingy on my Door

PLEASE Mr. Grinch give us our Christmas box back!!

Baby its cold outside!!

2007-12-01T08:48:00.000-08:00

Allie was so excited watching the snow out our window the other day. She was laughing and singing but when we finally went out side all bundled up and Allie hated it. We had her touch the snow and she freaked so now she will smile from the window but when we go outside she yells at the snow. The other cute thing Allie has started to do is sing the car with me. The latest song she loves to chime in on is "Baby its cold out side"

One foot in front of the Other!

2007-11-25T22:00:00.000-08:00

Real Simple Interview November

2007-11-13T21:56:00.000-08:00

What are you really good at? I use to be really good at singing and Violin but that was awhile ago. In my house I am really good at Laundry, At school I am good at Updo's..they are a lot harder then you think. As a mother I am really good at teaching Allie funny things Like " Oh NO!"

What is your favorite Thanksgiving Food? STUFFING!!!! I love stuffing I always loved helping my mom break the bread and chop the stuff that goes in it. Ahh turkey stuffing

If you could change places with anyone, living or dead, for one day, who would it be? My Dad, So maybe I could understand where he is coming from

Would you rather be a little smarter or a little sexier? Smarter.......being blond for so long can ruin you

The best decision I ever made was . . . Going back to Church.....it was the hardest thing to admit what I had done. I am glad I did it and I would do it again. If I hadn't I wouldn't have Jason or Allie

What are you most proud of?
That I have an Active Temple Recommend

Something on my mind lately is . . .
My Dad...... I miss him

Oh and bills of course

Before I die, I'd like to . . .
See my Family Happy again
Travel Europe
Have a clean house

The Perfect Pants!!!

2007-11-11T22:42:00.000-08:00

When I was Pregnant Lou and I went to a baby clothes store and I saw these Pants Allie is wearing in the Picture. I fell in love with these pants instantly. I had to have them for my little girl. So Lou bought them for me. The only sad thing about these perfect pants is Allie is a chubby baby. Levi's and skinny pants are not her friend. So she only wore them for the Picture then I changed her Pants but I had to have a picture of Allie in the Perfect Pants

Thanks Lou I Love them!
I can't wait to see Shaak-Ti in the Perfect Pants!!

Happy Birthday Hottie!!

2007-11-08T22:28:00.000-08:00

Today is my Hotties birthday he is a whole Quarter
For Jasons birthday I went every where looking for the perfect present to give him of course when I figured out what that would be I could not find it anywhere so that present changed to his Christmas present. But Alas I got him Spiderman 3 2-disc version. It has some really cool extras on it.
So after my hours and craziness of look for the perfect present Jake (Jasons little brother) found it. I have to say it was so funny to watch Jason open this Jake so excited about it he kept telling Jason how much money he spent on him. He was saying Jason when I went to the store I had 17 whole dollars but now I only have 15.....It is the perfect present Plate and Mug

Why didn't I think of that!!

Happy Birthday Hottie!
your birthday was perfect I hope I had a lot of fun!!

Childhood Toys!!

2007-10-28T22:46:00.000-07:00

This is Lady Lovely Locks in case you didn't know. I use to watch her all the time I remember the Christmas I got the doll. My parents come home from a date AKA Christmas shopping and Dad came through the bedroom door so I played the baby card and got Mom to let me follow her I talked with her as she got ready for bed then pretended to fall asleep on her bed. She left to do Laundry and Yes I looked in all the bags. She was there Lady Lovely Locks. I was so excited!
I still love popples I have a few of the shows on tape. I also still have two of my stuffed animal Popples. I just cant let them go yet they were my best friend Until piglet came along and you don't let go of a good thing. My favorite episode is the one where they try to make breakfast for the kids its a funny one.
Barbies are my all time Love. I will play barbies til the day I die. I LOVE LOVE LOVE barbies. That is if you play the right way. I think at least 50% or more of my childhood was playing playing barbies will Angie and Katie. We would always talk about what would happen before we started to play so that there wasnt a fight everytime. I still remember the story and I bet if Angie, Katie and I got together we could figure out where we left off.

I can't wait until Allie is old enough to play Barbies

My Beautiful, My Gorgeous!

2007-10-24T18:31:00.001-07:00

I have noticed lately that I tell Allie that she is Beautiful and Gorgeous A LOT. and when I say a lot I mean a lot. Now when I say it she smiles and sometimes she gives me kisses and snuggles. So today I asked her Who's my beautiful? she got so excited she raised her arms in the air and started talking. I am so happy that she thinks she is beautiful and knows that it is her when I say those words. My absolute favorite thing she does though is right after her bath or anytime we look in a mirror. I always say Look at the Beautiful girl and now she tries to say Beautiful or Gorgeous.

2007-10-23T19:27:00.000-07:00

I want to call someone but I don't want to make them worry. I want to tell someone how I feel but they are all just as stressed as me. I need a friend, a sister, or a mother to talk to but they are all busy. I miss them but again I don't want them to worry. I am scared, tired and sick of fighting. I can't stand the silence I need his lips to move. I need a way to the right path......

I failed

hopefully I can fix it.

It's all about the "B"

2007-10-11T21:21:00.001-07:00

There is something about the letter "B" that just makes Allies heart sing. I don't know if its because her middle names starts with B and we call her Allie B sometimes or if its just a really cool sounds. Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba is what I hear all day long but now it is turning into Bubble, Book, Bee, and Bink. She loves it when you say things with "B" Like after her bath I always show her herself in the mirror after she has a bath and tell her how beautiful she is and she just loves it that I tell her that so she looks at herself and tries to say Beautiful herself. So I hope your lives are as "B" filled as mine

London Baby!

You Belong in London

A little old fashioned, and a little modern.
A little traditional, and a little bit punk rock.
A unique soul like you needs a city that offers everything.
No wonder you and London will get along so well.

What City Do You Belong In?

Happy Birthday Allie!

2007-10-01T15:42:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday Allie!
Allie was so much fun on her birthday. she didn't know if it was ok to eat the cake or if she would get in big trouble. I feel very lucky to get such a cute picture of her eating her cake

Allie was so excited when she got her light saber from Noah. She loves all the toys she got for her birthday but her light saber is something she doesnt like to share.

Pin Curls and Finger Waves

2007-09-27T17:11:00.000-07:00

I must learn to master these. This is my quest! there has to be an easier way to do them then the way I have been taught or else the woman in the 1940 are completely amazing research I must research

Scary!!!!

2007-09-12T22:17:00.001-07:00

I found this picture today and realized this was me a year ago. Huge and ready to pop. With all this pregnancy talk I was thinking about mine with Allie and thought i should write about it or it will get forgotten.

I found out I was pregnant with Allie on Jan. 28th I was so excited when I found out.

I realized very early in my pregnancy that if I woke up before 9:30 and got out of bed I was sick the rest of the day. I learned to love this time in the morning. I would talk to Lou or My Mom but the best part was when I could start feeling Allie move. I would enjoy feeling her stretching to wake up too.

When I was first pregnant I couldn't wait to have a pregnant belly so people could tell I was pregnant and not just fat. For a long time I just looked fat and I kept praying to heavenly father that my belly would be showing by the time my brother got married. Well I got my wish I had a belly by the time Nik got married.

My cravings were very funny but I loved them all the same. Restaurant Ranch was my ultimate craving with Allie it was all I wanted Salad, Veggies or Anything with it. I finally bought a bottle of it at the Pie so I would have some at home. Mango's was the next new fab thing and it ended with Sticky Chicken which consists of Buffalo chicken, Chinese Chicken or BBQ chicken. The most powerful and wonderful craving I had and still have is SLUSHIES. They made and do make me so happy they are so refreshing and keep me cool. Lime are the best but when I was pregnant I would take any slushie I could get.

The one thing I will never and I mean never forget about my pregnancy with Allie was how swollen my feet were. They were huge. I was so scared that they would never be the same size again. They hurt so bad to walk or even move. I cried many times because of my feet.

My dreams when I was pregnant were very strange and silly the one I remember the most is what I call the Belly- vision dream. I had a dream that I was driving to go get my belly-vision and it took forever to get there when I got there they dressed me in a white robe looking dress and and walked to room where they rubbed my belly and put this plastic stuff on it then the woman put me in my car to send me on my way. I started to drive to my in-laws house for the unavailing party when I got there everyone was so excited and couldn't wait to see what the baby was so I sat in this special chair and then lifted the flap over my belly and yes I was a teletubbie. You could see what my baby was doing and what the gender was everyone loved to watch the baby and just when they were about to say what it was a boy or a girl I woke up....I had that dream two nights before my ultrasound.

...maybe I am dumb

2007-09-10T22:00:00.000-07:00

.... I am not ready for these kind of decisions I'm scared I will make a really stupid mistake.

My Little Einstein

2007-08-26T20:58:00.000-07:00

Allie amazes me everyday what she learns. Jason has been teaching her to clap and she did it today for me. I was so excited I started clapping with her but apparently only Allie should be clapping. She knows how to do things that I have never seen a child her age do. She babbles a mile a minute and if you copy what she is saying she will say it back. She can clap the same rythem I do on the floor. She is starting to sing also its the cutest thing. She loves to sing to me in the moring while we are snuggling in my bed. She plays with toys differently too and discovers the world in a way that I just have to watch her to see her reaction. Tonight Allie also showed Mom and Dad that she can turn on her Care Bears herself so they will talk and sing to her. I guess she has seen us do it enough times that she knows the drill.......the only thing she is not really ever been fast in is moving. She loves to crawl but will see when she wants to try to walk. She just loves to play with her toys and discover.

Sweet Obsession.......Baby Einstein!

2007-08-25T21:10:00.000-07:00

If you had to choose one toy Allie would want to play with I would have to say it is her Baby Newton Teething Lion. She gets so excited every time she see him because it is from her favorite time in the morning when I shower I have Allie watch Baby Einstein. Yes Folks my baby is already a TV junky. No matter what is happening or how upset or angry Allie is Baby Einstein can always calm her down. Her Favorites are Baby Shakespeare, Baby Newton,Baby MacDonald, Baby on the go, Baby Monet and Baby Noah......Baby Noah always gets her excited because she thinks I am talking about Noah (her cousin) She loves Noah. The best is when she hears the starting music that plays when the logo comes up she knows that fun is about to begin.
So I don't know if I have done a good thing or a bad but all I know is when that music starts to play. Allies feet get going and her smile is priceless and I love how happy it makes her and its worth every giggle she makes. So if you want to see Allie have a good time come over and watch some Baby Einstein!

Farewell to Grandma T

2007-08-24T20:42:00.001-07:00

Farewell To an Amazing woman Jason's Great Grandma passed away this evening. It was a very peaceful goodbye. She will be missed greatly and the only thing we are really sad about is that she didn't make it to her 100th birthday. She was 99 and turned 100 in February. She almost made it but it must have been her time. She was one of the dearest woman I have ever met and she will always be the one person in my life that has asked me the same question 50 times and I didn't mind. She always made you laugh and feel great about your self. The first thing she ever said to me that I remember is that I should be a foot model. I feel so blessed that I got to meet and be related to such and amazing woman.

Allie was youngest great great grandchild that got to meet her. I am so glad I took this picture or I would have missed my chance. This pic was taken last Christmas.

We Love you Grandma Thomson

10 Weird Things about Mimi!

2007-07-10T23:16:00.000-07:00

Lena tagged me to do 10 weird Facts about myself and well I had to think really hard about this one because I feel that most people know almost everything about me.

1~ I can do raspberries with my lips, click my tong, hum, rub my belly in circles and pat my head all at the same time

2~ I am the only person in my family to have natural red hair when I was little

3~ One of my biggest dreams is to be on a game show. I would love to be on the new show don’t forget the lyrics or Deal or No Deal

4~ Ok I know this one is weird but very true…The first 4 boys I had a crush on in Jr. High all came out of the closet and now are Gay. Two of them are some of my closest friends.

5~ I remember my dreams almost every night

6~ I have all 10 seasons of Friends…My next TV show I must own is Gilmore Girls

7~ I am a secret Ham lover ever since I had Allie. While I was pregnant I would crave it and now I like it sometimes but I have to be in the mood it’s not something I can eat all the time but I do like it on occasion now. I still can’t eat Pork though it makes me really sick.

8~ I am the worst speller and to be honest I really don’t care.

9~ I hate using big spoons when I eat yogurt I like to use a baby spoon and I have for years. When I moved out I bought some just for my yogurt.

10~ I hate doing my Hair but I Love doing other peoples hair. I know that seems weird going to beauty school but it is true. I have to be in the mood to do my hair and I notice I want to do it when I feel beautiful. That is why I hardly did it while I was pregnant

Happy Wedding James and Jenny!!

2007-07-07T22:27:00.000-07:00

Today James and Jenny got Married... James is Jason's brother. It was a beautiful day and very hot in my opinion. I just couldn't resist putting these pics of Allie on my Blog she is so beautiful in this Dress I found at Costco that matched the wedding colors. I love the frills and how girly she looks. The only sad thing was at the end of the night Allie gaged herself with her spoon and threw up all over her beautiful Dress but knowing her it was her plan so she could be Naked. She must have known the PJ's we grabbed her were to small for her.

Attack of the Allie Cat!!!

2007-07-06T08:56:00.000-07:00

Allie loves her Dad! She laughs harder with him then with anyone else. Daddy can say Boo and Allie with Laugh. He can make a funny face or play a game but when he does Allie is Belly Laughing. She has a bond with her Dad that she had before she came to this earth. I am so glad that Allie needs her Dad.

Just Keep Swimming

2007-05-28T22:12:00.000-07:00

We took Allie Swimming in our Pool for the First time Today she was so funny she just kicked and kicked and talked and laughed she loved hanging out in her boat

She was so cute and I was suprised how long she lasted in the pool she was in there for about and hour and 15 minutes and when Jason and I tried to get her out of her boat she was stuck. Her legs are so chubbie that she got stuck in the boat and we had to pull it off of her.

She had so much fun I cant wait to take her again

Happy Birthday Jake!

2007-04-10T00:00:00.000-07:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAKE!!
Jake turned 8 today. Eight is a very exciteing year for kid. Jake has been talking about his birthday since Christmas he kept calling everyone in the family to tell them what he wanted. Jake is a very fun little brother in law to have. If you are in the mood to play Trains Jake is your man. I love it that when Jake plays he has to pull something with a train or a Truck or if all else fails its time to make a slide. Jake is a very funny Kid he likes to do something then tell you what he did. Like say he touches your foot he will say " Amy I touched your foot" its such a funny habit and he does it just to see what people will do. All in all Jake is a Train man though he figures out how to make trains, play with trains, watch trains, ride on trains and even as you see in the picture eat trains.

Mmmm Cereal !

2007-04-01T21:43:00.000-07:00

Today Allie had her first bowl of Rice Cereal and no this is not an April Fools joke. She was so cute she just kept looking at me like Mom what is this. Then she decided that she was big enough to feed herself so she stole the spoon from me. Later that night we were having family snuggle time and Jason and I were tickling Allie she was laughing so hard but the funny thing was we taught her how to do blow Farts on my arm she thought that was the greatest.We got it all on tape. Its a must see. Hey I say teach them young they will learn it someday anyway might as well be when they are really little and cute.

Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.

Finding a Piece of my Past...

2007-02-07T17:48:00.000-08:00

Today I was at my mom house and she found a paper I wrote in November of 2003 for my psychology class at SLCC. First of all I loved this class I learned more and remember more in Mr. Christiansons class then any other class I have taken. Now Ten would tease me about this class because when I was taking it I would talk about all the time , So I am apoligizing now Ten that I have brought it up again.

Ok so about this paper, it was on the Positive Psycology Strategies there are like 50 or so of them but I had to pick 7 that I wanted to apply to my life. As I was reading this paper it made me remember where I was in life I had just moved away from home for the first time and was trying to change who I was. I deciced to get new friends because the ones I was hanging out with alot at the time were not the kind of people I wanted to become. So me reading it now 2 or so years later I have applied them somewhat to my life but I really could use them again the ones I chose were

1. Self- Control ~ This has always been a very hard area in my life for me. I have a really hard time motivating myself to do things that are everyday things of life that you have to do but don't nessesarly want to do.

2.Hope ~ I use to have no hope at all for years I lost all of it when I started High School but when I started college and met Jason I found Hope again. I have very little hope of what I have but it is alot better then none but I am learning to embrace the future and not be scared of it, but sometimes its just really hard not to be scared

3.Zest ~ I have gotten some of my Zest back but I still have a really hard time trying new things that I know I would love to do. I also sometimes have a hard time getting excited about the things I love to do and the new things I know I will encounter

4.Bravery ~ This is something I know I will always have to work hard for. Its something I ache for everyday. I am very afriad to stand up for myself sometimes and I am really afraid of people I have to talk to about money. Money scares me to death.

5. Forgiveness ~ This is the one I know I have done the best on. Some people would say its not but they are not inside me so they dont know. I know I still struggle at times and with certain people but I am working on it because I know that when I forgive my life is happier.

6.Prudence ~ This is another thing I am trying to apply more now to my life. You are always a better person when you think before you act and I have always struggled with this. I need to stop making decisions I know I will regret in the long run

7. Spirituality ~ This is where I truely change in the last 2 years or so. I have found my testimony again and my love for heavenly father and the Savior. I am truely greatful and have never feel so close to the lord in my life then I have in the past year. It is something I never want to lose again and something I will always fight to keep.

Will it ever end?

This is my Beautiful Allie on her Blessing Day. That was my blessing dress except for the shoes I bought those for her.....they are Pink!

This is Allie with Perky her cuddly Pig just like her mom!

Allie is obsessed with this hat the first time I put it on her she didn't want me to take it off. She's not dumb its to freezing to take your hat off
This dress was given to Allie for Christmas from her cousin Chad.....He has good taste don't you think
This is Allie only a couple of minutes old isn't she a doll.

I love Allie in Bows she is so girly and cute
OH so hungry but Daddy is so snuggly
I loved this Watermelon outfit on Allie but for some reason every time she wore it she ALWAYS got poop on it........Oh her cute Aunt Lena gave her this

Giggles and Grins!

2007-01-26T16:07:00.000-08:00

Today is a good day to be a Mom. Allie has been so sweet. I didnt feel very good this morning so I told Allie to snuggle with mom on the bed because Mom wasnt feel very well and Allie just grabed my face and sang the way she knows how to sing because thats what I do when Allie isnt feeling very well. I love it that Allie copies me and tries to do the things I do. Yesturday I waved good bye to her Uncle James and she tried to do it to. My absoult favorite thing that Allie does though is while she is eating she pets me or holds on to my shirt and after awhile when her belly is full she will pull off and smile at me.

Allie means Smiling and she lives up to her name !

Do you ever wish that there were multiples of you? I wish that I could have the Amy that is Jason’s Wife, Allies Mom, the perfect Daughter, the sister that can do everything, the friend that is always there, the perfect daughter-in-law, the wonderful granddaughter, The favorite Aunt, the cute niece. the cool cousin, the maid, the chef, the amazing visiting teacher, the greatest primary chorister, the workaholic, the crafty wiz, the talented musician, the organized freak, the nice neighbor, the one that is always there for you, and the Amy that can be crazy and fun. The crazy and fun Amy is the one and most people fell in love with. I am sorry to say that usually you get the Amy in pure chaos. The Amy that has no clue what she is doing with herself. She knows she has the potential of doing many great things but can’t seem to get out of her funk. I am sorry for this. I hate that I am needy right now. I know I am not a very uplifting person to be around right now but until I can figure out how to be all of those Amy’s at the same time or at least know how to juggle them around. I will be the Amy that has no clue what she is doing with herself.

Allie Blanche

2006-11-29T14:00:00.000-08:00

My little guiding light has come to my home. My sweet Allie was born on October 1 ,2006. She was wide awake when she came out of my belly. We call her bright eyes because she has to see everything and know whats going on. It surpised everyone who came to the hospital to see a newborn baby with her eyes so open. All the nurses in the nursery would come by my room and beg me to send her down there so they could play with her because she was so awake.

I Loved delivering at LDS hospital I would highly recommend it to anyone. I loved my nurses and the doctors who had to perform the C-section. They were all very wonderful to me and I felt very taken care of.

Doctor Peterson is such a wonderful doctor he makes me feel so safe and I loved that he thinks out loud it helped me to know what was going on in the OR. When they told me that my baby was brich and I was going to have to have a c-section they said that Dr. Peterson wasnt going to be coming because he couldnt perform the operation. I have to be honest I was really scared but then after they checked me and the baby and preped me for surgery there walks in Dr. Peterson and says " you werent going to do this without me were you" Right then I knew I was in good hands. The only thing that kept me calm during the sugery was Jason's hand and the inch of Dr. Peterson's garments showing through. Just knowing that there were two presthood holders there made me so much calmer.

Allie is now almost 2 months old she will be 2 months on Friday. She is my little cubby baby. I feel so blessed that she is a good eater because I know that is a struggle with many mothers. Allie is the biggest joy in life and I love watching her figure things out like how to use her hands and kick her blanket off she thinks she is so funny when she dose that. She loves to try and talk to people now and she smiles when she hears her name or someone says how beautiful she is. She knows she is gorgous! Somtimes when Allie is upset and nothing seems to calm her down all you have to do is take off her clothes and let her hang out in her diaper. She loves to be naked. She loves when I read to her. She likes to comment on every page.

I cant wait until the new little things she learns start happening. I love every moment with Allie . I feel so blessed to be her mom and to think how lucky I am that when she learns how to talk that I will be the one she calls Mom!

The Power of Handwriting

2006-09-20T10:55:00.000-07:00

Handwriting is so powerful. The other day I went to get my mail and as I am going through all the bills and junk mail there it was my best friends handwriting. I started to cry because I was so excited to read her thoughts and just feel close to her. The feeling is so amazing it changed the feeling of the whole day knowing that Angie is an amazing missionary. The more I thought about her handwriting through the day it made me a little sad to think of all the e-mails that we dont save or print and keep to read later or to document our lives. There is something about a letter that is just harder to throw away because it is so personal.

Could I be any bigger!

2006-09-13T13:11:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I went to the doctor and found out the I am a Half a centimeter dilated. Now this was happy but sad at the same time, one thought was at least I am not dilated at all the other thought was only a half. I am on my way to having my Daughter and I know when she is ready she will come and bless my home and I cant wait for that.
