So fun to read. I laughed about the packing and unpacking. I also can't seem to make it to bed on time with Ryan away.
We'll probably keep in touch more through blogging then we did when we only lived 15 minutes away from eachother. I love checking your post.
interesting reading more about you. i'm with you on the flourless dark chocolate cake!!!!
Do you remember we visited you there in Chicago? That was so fun!
Now this list I have a few questions but here's the first how can you have a flourless cake? Also do you make paellla? do you have the recipes?
Will you get made at me if I don't follow this tag?
Now I know why we are such good friends - you are not at all boring!
Fun to read your 7's--may I add 7 more can do's? 1. Discipline and train children 2. Cook yummy food 3. Accompany the choir 3. Design quilts and clothing 4. Turn a house into a home 5. Follow through on a promise 6. Live the gospel 7. Be a friend to your mother-in-law...I could go on.
Alison,
Of course I remember! We ate the ribs with your guys.
I also remember we kept wanting to go back to the fabric. Do you remember the zoo experience? The kids fought the whole time, and Paul finally said, "Man, I don't know how the polygamists did it."
Don't worry if you don't want to do the tag. That is why I added the (only if you want to) part.
Mom,
You made my day!
I loved reading all these things about you. Jeff is gone for this week and I can't get enough sleep for some reason either. I wonder why that is.
how fun! It was nice to learn a few new things about you! I can't do blood either!
