When I started graduate school in August, I was told that I would be sacrificing things over the next three years in order to juggle my new responsibilities. I've discovered that my blog is on the altar. Why not Farmville or Bejeweled Blitz, you ask? Because those games don't take mental energy. I don't have to think...I just get to milk virtual cows and make three pretty gemstones line up and explode. Blogging is different. Blogging uses brain cells. And using brain cells takes energy which I seem to be lacking. But here I sit in class, with a video of an example of Constructivist therapy playing on the screen in front of me...and I've decided to blog. Aren't you lucky? You must be living right!
First I want to share two funny quotes I've heard recently. One of them is from a T-shirt that I've ordered... it says, "And then Buffy staked Edward. The end." Hee Hee. Hilarious.
The other quote is "Blogging, Never before have so many had so much to say to so few." Too true.
Now I'm going to attach some pictures from the last three months. Have a great day!
Jared found this tame cockateil near a creek in town. She went right to him and has become a fun part of the family. Michael calls her Boyd. Jared calls her Polly Wolly and I call her the pooping master cage disaster.
This is my best attempt to be Martha Stewart and make a homemade cake for Jared's birthday. I know...I'm incredible. Hold the applause please.
This is my mother in law with curlers in her hair playing the Nintendo Wii. I thought it was great. And there sits
Michael on the couch. With a bun in the oven. When we were dating he said he wanted more children. I didn't know that he was going to have them himself. (Just kidding honey...you know I love ya!)
Here's Jared with his friend Dallas who is a Taylor Lautner look-a-like. He actually had some girls and ladies ask to take their picture with him at the New Moon premiere last night. So funny...and so odd...
This was the wedding party that followed my niece's wedding at the Bountiful Temple in October. I don't know this lady...but this just seems wrong to me. She's the photographer and apparently she had to stand in the fountain to get the best angle. I know I'm going to hell for wishing she would have biffed it...I was standing by with my camera to catch the whole thing...but alas...she had a stunning sense of balance. (and great calves.)
A shot of Jared and his excitement of having a little sister.
(I had the same look on my face when she showed up with her new do-it-yourself bangs trim.) (And where in the world, did they ever get the name bangs? Seriously, why?)
This is my cute niece Kailee and her new husband Dallin. AND A GIANT HAND! Wow...that is some seriously great photography skill, isn't it? (at least I know better than to stand in the temple fountains.)
Some fun birthday gifts from my friends. I love the T-shirt...and it speaks a very important truth. (And this is the new way I've decided to be photographed because it hides my multiple chins.)
