It's all about the 17th of March and being green!

Nineteen years ago on the 17th of March (1990), my to-be husband and I entered the Salt Lake Temple, (small picture above) and we were sealed for time and eternity. We celebrated by escaping to Avila Beach last weekend and celebrated some more on Tues.. On tues. we had lunch together and then ate dinner with the kids by eating and devouring everything green I could think of, including Leprechaun soup, green jello, green kool-aid and I even tried to dye the homeade rolls green. It was fun, I'm glad they invented such things as St. Patrick's day so we could have a little bit more exciting dinner than Top Ramen and grilled cheese sandwiches. The Leprechaun soup turned out delicious!

Anniversary getaway!

My husband told me to be ready at 4pm on Friday, and ready I was. All I had to do was arrange for babysitting and he took care of the rest! We will be celebrating our nineteenth wedding anniversary on Tuesday. We dropped the kids off and away we went to Avila Beach for the night and spent all day together on Sat.. It was awesome! I didn't want it to end, but life must go on!

She loves posing

Ok, thanks for indulging me, but isn't my daughter beautiful? She's my only girl so I can say that.

I just can't get enough

I just can't get enough of these pictures. I went a little (a lot) crazy with my camera and Abby and her hat.

Abigail and her hat!

I had sooo much fun taking pictures of my beautiful daughter and her lovely new hat.

Pay it Forward

Pay it Forward
I've seen this a couple of places and decided it would be something fun to do. So, here's how it works-the first 3 people to leave a comment on this post will receive, at some point during the year, a handmade gift from me. What it will be and when it will arrive is a total surprise! The catch is that you must participate as well. Before you leave your comment, write up a pay it forward post on your blog to keep the fun going (or be lazy and copy and past like I did). Then come back, let me know you're going to play and sit back and anticipate the arrival or your gift! Please submit in an e-mail or on the comment, your address, if I don't have it already. Remember that only the first 3 comments will receive a gift from me, so be quick!

Just finished reading.....Molokai

This was our month's selection for Book Club. This was a fascinating novel. The novel starts out when Rachel, the main character is seven years old. She contracts leprosy and is quarantined to the island of Molokai. The rest of the book is her life story and the trials and presecutions she faces as a victim of leprosy. I look forward to discusing this on Wed. with my friends at book club.
