Baptism

One of my young women from our old ward got baptised a week and a half ago. I was glad to be there and support her. I'm so happy for you Lima! I love you!

Harry Potter The End

Across the course of 3 weeks, I have successfuly finished book 7 of Harry Potter. I have listened to it while lying in bed, cleaning the house, and while in the car. I finished last night. I was a little disappointed with the book in general. Usually, it's so interesting that I cannot put it down, but I didn't feel this way about the final book. The last couple chapters were wonderful and I loved the ending. How did you like it?

Dentist

When I was younger I chipped my front bottom tooth. I had it fixed, but lately I felt like it was loose. We had a dentist appointment Wednesday, and sure enough, they said the filling was being held on by my bottom retainer. Next week when I go back in they'll hopefully be able to fix it without having to take my retainer off. The good news is, we didn't have any cavities, thank goodness!

My celebrity look-alike!

Some people have told me that I look like Kelly Clarkson...

United Nations Day

Did you know there is a United Nations Day? Well it's today! Apparently it's been observed sinced 1947. I think we should get work off...

Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square Christmas Concert

A little over a month ago I auditioned for the annual Christmas Concert featuring the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. I heard about it in the Church News and thought, why not?! I haven't danced for over a year and thought I'd rekindle my talent. I made it and have been rehearsing weekly since. The concert will be Thursday through Saturday December 13-15. The concerts are free but tickets are required. Tickets will be distributed randomly because there has been such a demand in the past years. Registration can be done anytime between now through Sunday, November 11, 2007, at 11:59 p.m. at the following link.

The Haunted Forest

Last weekend Ryan and I got invited to go to a haunted house with some friends. I really enjoy going, but I scare very easily. Everyone in our group caught on to that fast and therefore kept trying to get the workers to scare me...it worked. Ryan and I were in the back of the group, so we got a little jipped because we knew ahead of time when something was going to happen. I felt bad for the girls in the front of the group. All in all it was worth the money and got me in the mood for Halloween. If you are looking for a good Haunted House this season, try the Haunted Forest.

Uppercase Living

My sister hosted an Uppercase Living party last weekend. For those of you who've never heard of it, here's a link. They are stickers that you put on your wall, and you can get something for every room in your house if you wanted to. It was so fun and I couldn't help buying something. I won a door prize and ordered way too much. I can't wait till they come in next week!

Happy Halloween Bloggers!

Do you like our new "Halloween Edition" blog? I found this cool site that let's me do exactly what I've been trying to do with our blog since the beginning. Yipee!

My three seconds of FAME!!!

Listen to the report and you will get the story. It's a little long to tell here. I am the one carrying the dog into the freight counter where the family was picking it up...it's not as much camera time as I was hoping...but HERO'S never get the credit they deserve! Just kidding...I was just glad to help get Rocky back home safe!

Sticky Note works of art

Check out this fun blog that I found. Funny, wierd and interesting news around the world. Some of them look pretty cool. A new form of art...

Mr. Potato Men

These are pretty funny.

Happy Columbus Day!

Is anyone else sad they don't get work off?

Hip hip hooray for Skywest!

Deathly Hallows

My long awaited Harry Potter book (the last one!!!!) has come into my arms. I reserved the book on CD because, at the time, I still had my old job where that's all i did all day. I'm a little regretful now, because:


1. I no longer work at a place where I can listen to books on CD all day long.

2. The cd player in my car doesn't work, so I have to listen to it just lying by the cd player in the living room.

3. I may get no sleep for the next night...or two.

4. I may not have time to do anything important.

Mom's 50th part 2

You've been hearing from me about my mom's birthday. Here is the last part of it:




We made dinner for my mom and the fam and had a nice visit Sunday night. My sisters and I planned a little program. I listed things throughout history that have happened on my mom's birthday. Toni listed things that are older than mom. Tara told my mom about things other people have done by the time they were 50. It was a good time, and we finished the night off with 2 games of Bonko.

Relief Society Broadcast

My mom got the opportunity to be in the choir for the General Relief Society Broadcast. They asked a handful of people from each ward in South Jordan to participate. She had a great experience, and got spoken to by the Relief Society Presidency. All the stakes in South Jordan were "supposed" to go. My parents ward didn't even broadcast it at the Stake Center this year. My mom got tickets for us to go. It was so wonderful! I hope you had a chance to watch.

Mom's 50th Birthday

A few weeks ago my sisters and I planned something special for my mom's 50th birthday. This was just one part of it:

 

We had a lot of fun decorating the yard/house/car. My mom was really embarrassed, especially when the neighbor called to wish her a happy birthday. Overall, I think she enjoyed it.
