Great Online Finds for the Week

Image
By
I'm not actually done with sharing about our Thanksgiving trip to St. George, I will do that in a later post.  Remember when I used to do my online finds posts?  I got to busy for ummm, 6 months  to do one.  However, I've come across some things I found interesting, so of course I'm going to share them with you.
  • Article #1: My hometown the wonderful land of C-ville declared a state of emergency after the crazy east winds yesterday.  We all felt the winds here in the Salt Lake Valley (which kept me up at night, because debris kept hitting our little home and waking me up), but Centerville got pounded with over 100 mph winds, speeds that would classify as a category 2 hurricane if we were on the coast.  There was a lot of damage.  My fam doesn't reside there anymore, but I have a lot of old friends that do.  Hoping everyone is doing well and hanging in there!  You guys are in my prayers. 
  • Article #2: I think I've slightly become an advocate for the introverted way of life.  I saw this article posted on my friend Talena's facebook wall and since I could relate to it so well, I posted it on mine.  I was surprised how many responses I got from friends who felt the same way.  It's hard being an introvert in an extroverted world.
  • So this is for fun, an interactive style video quiz I saw on my friend, Camille's blog. (You all know, I'm a sucker for online quizzes.) I got "Classic Girl".  How about you?


In other news, much Christmas crafting has ensued this week.  I will post my projects when I'm done.  Also, Bon Iver has been my choice of music this week.  Their tunes speak to my soul.

    Maybe you should think about moving to Louisiana where you could be safe from all of the high wind:)!

Oh Crafty Trees, Oh Crafty Trees...

By
I've become a finals widow, if you will, meaning Danny is crazy busy trying to finish up the semester.  This has given me extra time to use my crafty skills to get our place Christmas ready.  My first creations were these little paper/foam trees.  I've seen a few variations online of this craft. I put my own little twist on it.  They are really easy to make, just takes some time. Here is what you need: Scrap paper Hot glue gun 1" Circle punch Foam cone (at most craft stores) Toothpicks Note:  You are going to go to the craft store to buy the little foam cone and you will see styrofoam glue and you will think to yourself that would be a good thing to buy for this project.  Don't!  I got the styrofoam glue and it didn't work at all.  Just go with your trusty glue gun, it won't let you down. I think it's pretty self-explanatory by looking at the picture.  You just punch circles out from the scrap paper.  Then hot glue the circles to the foam tree in

2013 - The Year of Grace

By
I know we are well into 2014, but I'm still in the midst of recounting last year and making goals for this year. As I've looked back on and thought about 2013, I have to admit it has been a rocky year. However, during some of these hard times, I feel like Danny and I have drawn even closer in our marriage. I sure love that man of mine. I really think what makes a strong marriage is facing the tough stuff together. I have also grown closer to my Savior, though at times it didn't always feel like it, which I will discuss more below. I can honestly say, this year has whittled me down to a rather more fragile version of myself.  I think that is what being humbled is.  I have been humbled.  I’m still working on being humble. I think with this past year, I’m understanding more what grace is.  I think you have to experience a lowly place to even feel the need for grace.  I agree with the common phrase: “Do your best.” However, I don’t think we always understand what ou

This Weekend

By
This weekend was a whirlwind experience.  I realize I could split this up into like 4 or 5 different posts, but I'm just going to do one big, long post.  So get a snack, get comfortable and prepare yourselves. Friday Night:  Danny's Concert with his friends, The Atomic Thunderlips Danny performed up at the Layton amphitheater and rocked the house!  I really mean that, he did such  a fantastic job.  He opened for his friends, The Atomic Thunderlips, who also put on an awesome show. I had great fun clapping along to the music with my nephews who came and being a bit of a proud wife in the audience.  We all went out for a late night dinner at Iggy's afterwards, which showed me that I'm not in college anymore, because I got heartburn afterwards.   (Growing old, sigh.) Members of the family that came to support! Me and my nephew Dr. C before the concert. The boys clapping along. He can play with his eyes closed, he's that good. Danny the guitar man
