Jumpin' on the Twilight Bandwagon!

I'm not one for Bandwagon's. Really, I didn't watch Dances with Wolves for about 5 years just because everyone else was doing it. I still have not seen Robbin Hood (you know the one... Everything I do I do for you) I didn't even start reading Harry Potter until well after the last book came out, and if we are going to be totally honest here Dr. Who is really popular in my house and I'm not jumping on that bandwagon either. Anyway that being said I have fallen into the world of Vampire's. ALL of my friends are reading these "Twilight" books and yesterday I jumped on the bandwagon and read the first book. Yes I read the whole book in one day! I can't wait to talk to my beehive that lent the book to me and get the second one. I guess what prompted me was the trailer for the movie on Clement Happenings! So if any of you are resisting the temptation to be like everyone else JUST READ IT, it's really good.

I didn't even know about these books and the author until I read about it in a Time (maybe Newsweek) Magazine that I found.

I finally went to the Library to see if they had them. I can't get the book until June!! So, I was going to send out an email to see who had them and would loan them to me. I guess I better start talking to those Young Women in our Ward!!

I still am resisting the ever-present pull (mostly from friends) to read them. However, they have been the topic of much debate within my ward and my extended family. Hmmm, perhaps that is the reason for my hesitance...

PS Have you read Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card? He is an LDS author and about the only sci-fi writer that I have ever liked. The Ender's series is fantastic!

Don't waste your time on the Robin Hood movie, it's really one of the worst I've ever seen (and I've seen A LOT of movies.)
I guess if you are reading the Twilight books, maybe I'm going to have to try them after all...
Good thing I'm taking a cross country trip in two weeks!

34 Reasons Why I Love You

Today is Chris Birthday! I'm awful about making plans and doing things for him so this year I have tried my best to be better. We are having a small party if you will , with some friends tonight and having his favorite apple cake with caramel topping. I also wanted to give him a little extra and thought I needed to publicly share some of the reasons why I love him. I'm not big on PDA , public displays of affection not the little handheld computer he carries around. So this is very different for me. 34 Reason Why I love You... 34. You like the same TV shows I do 33. If you don’t like the TV show you watch it anyway 32. You are a great Dad 31. You take care of me when I’m sick (even though I’d rather disappear when you are sick) 30. You are very tidy (OK I’m not) 29. You love my cooking 28. If you don’t love my cooking you are kind about it 27. You can cook 26. You support me in my calling no matter how many nights I’m gone, and it's a lot. 25. You encourage me to go t...

Today we went to our new ward.  We still have one more week in our current ward but we just wanted to check it out, get our faces known, and possibly drum up some help to unload a moving truck in a couple weeks. Can I just say it was amazing!  We've been to this ward before when Chris was on the High Council so there were a few familiar faces.  That wasn't the amazing part... For the last 2 1/2 years Chris has struggled going to church.  The first year was due to the fact that he was in the hospital and fighting for his life and was unable to physically attend.  Frankly the whole family struggled that year and we stayed home for months because it was too painful to go.  The last year and a half Chris has struggled due to anxiety and panic about church.  He still has a testimony and loves the Gospel, he helps get the kids ready for church and attends when he can but for the most part I'm a single mom when it comes to church attendance.  He cann...

Sometimes life changes and we are all trying to catch up

From day one I could tell there was something different about L...he is my 4th child and right from the start I could tell.  I didn't know I could tell.  I knew he was different from my other kids but I didn't have a clue as to why, or what our future would bring. L was my most sweet baby.  All babies are sweet you say, all babies are different.  I know all babies are sweet but I mean this baby was SWEET.  He slept through the night almost from day one, to a mom 6 hours is like an eternity so I'm calling it through the night.  He rarely cried.  When he did and all the normal boxes were checked, feeding, changing, hot/cold, he just wanted to be left alone.  He would lay for hours on the floor on a blanket and watch life happen.  Then he would just fall asleep and take a nap and it was wonderful.  Being a mom of many kiddos it was like this baby was sent to me on purpose to make it easy.  Usually I have a baby and think "I'm not eve...
