I am especially thankful for Doran and our marriage!! It hasn't always been peaches but how we have grown together has been fantabulous! We are best friends and love spending time together! I am also grateful that we have had the opportunity to be sealed for Time AND all ETERNITY!! Maybe by then I will have taught him how to read my mind. Ya think?

What would you bring to share?

We wanted to have dinner with Susette but they didn't get out of Dodge until 5:30. It would be midnight (ok maybe not that late) before we got anything to eat. They ended up grabbing Subway on the way and we ended up meeting Sugar and Ashley for dinner at the Firehouse. We love that place. Ashley is a cute girl.

Tomorrow is the Top of Utah Half Marathon. We....well, Doran, will be participating. I get to watch...again. However I do hope to run the last couple of miles with Susette when she comes screamin' in.

Good luck to all the runners!

If you know me, I am an avid reader mostly LDS books. Why? Because they are safe to read without reading all the potty stuff that I CHOOSE not to read. Several friends suggested I read
I had no idea what it was even about and no one would tell me because I always tell people, "Don't tell me!!!" Anyway so I decided to read. Well I flew through that one and then I JUST finished
Now I am not patiently waiting for the library to call and tell me the book has been returned and I am next. PSHA! What am I posta do in the mean time, knit!!?? I don't think so.

I am so sad. I went back to my "old blog" to get the post I wrote about this very topic. I forgot that when I "ran out of room" on the old blog and since I already printed off my first year blogging book from there I started deleting the oldest posts in hopes to make more room. Long story short....Instead of "buying" more room I started this new blog. I should have just bucked up and spent the whopping $5. I wonder if I can join the two blogs? If someone knows how I can, let me know.

Anyway....thinking back. (Careful, when the wheels turn the smoke starts and the brain hurts!)
My daughter Chelsea and I were talking and I believe that she had just started a blog. I thought that might be a good way to put my millions of pictures I take on there instead of on a CD where we don't look at them or in a box. And because I am lousy about writing in my journal, this would be a good way to remember stuff and also let our family, close and out of state, know what we were up to. I told her I would think about it and SHE said if I didn't have one started by the end of that day SHE would put one up for me and I wouldn't have any say on what went on there. So I took that challenge! Now I get to put whatever I want, whether it be pictures, jokes, stories, my testimony and misspelled words, all BY myself!

What motivates me? Uh...notice there are several gaps in this blog. Wait, on second thought, DON'T look too close. I go in spurts and wish I was the dedicated poster. I LOVE, love LOVE my blog book. I need to get the rest of the years caught up. I also inherited my grandmothers diaries. There isn't a whole lot written in there and I KNOW my mother doesn't have anything written. But I am FACINATED with journals and stories and figured...hmm....maybe MY posteriety might be interested in what Doran and I do.....so thus is OUR BLOG.

Feel free to post for me when I get behind. Hint, hint. That would be now.

If you say "gullible" very slowly, it sounds like "oranges".

I know I have such a small "audience" for this blog but I do want to pass on some information about a fundraiser for a dear friends family member.

We survived another layoff yesterday. Unfortunately one of daddy's friends didn't. The layoffs these last few years have included severance. Rumor has it that another one is in October and there may be no more severance. I think the company is getting ready to shut the doors. Who knows.

Cortney will be receiving her endowments tomorrow at the Bountiful Temple. (She wanted to go to Mesa but we needed more notice. She is invited to a friends wedding next weekend and wanted to be able to attend.) We will be completing some family names and doing a bunch of sealings too including my grandparents and my father to my grandparents. We would love to have you join us whoever wants/can go. I am short a proxy for one male ancestor.
