Happy First Day of Autumn!

By
In commemoration of the first day of Autumn, Danny and I traveled up Little Cottonwood Canyon to enjoy the changing leaves.  While the leave colors aren't quite to their peak, it was still gorgeous!  Nothing lifts my spirits after a long week like taking some nature time up in the canyon.










In Other News...

  • Honestly, I hate politics.  What I hate even more is social media and politics, blah.  However, I took this quiz to see who I agreed with more out of the presidential candidates.  The results are... 70% agreement with Romney and 69% with Obama.  Interesting. I found the quiz rather enlightening because it made me stop and think about how I really felt about the issues that our country is facing.  
  • Also, the best article I read this whole week!  Oh man, I was dying laughing.
  • Cutest moment of the day, my 4-year-old nephew Super R called me to tell me that he has learned how to ride his bike without training wheels this weekend.  Way to go Super R!!  He then invited me to come to his house so I could watch him ride his bike.  Of course I told him that I would love to.

    Michele - Haha, yes, I shall keep that in mind.
    Dad Wood - I was just asking Danny the other day what fall was like in Louisiana. I'm sorry you don't get the vibrant colors down there. The next time you come to visit, you will have to come in the fall and we will take you up in the canyon.

    Your shots of the fall colors are gorgeous. It's going to be hard to leave the Utah autumn.

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
