Update and Christmas Things

Image
By
Friends, it has been too long!  We have so much to catch up on.  Christmas, cute pictures of me and Danny, the cool book I'm reading, New Year's goals, the awesome trip to the South that I just returned from.  Man oh man, do I have a lot of blog posts that need to be written.  I returned late last night from our vacation and my head has been swimming all day.  Re-entering back into the real world is rough.  Good thing there is a weekend around the corner.  Since I like things in order, let's start with Christmas things.  I hope you all had a very merry Christmas.  We sure did.  Here are a few festive things we did leading up to the day plus Christmas itself.

Family Christmas Party at Tim and Katie's

 There was graham cracker house decorating...


Delicious food consuming...

Baby holding...


Game playing...




And gift giving...


Acting out the Nativity with Mary and her kids

Danny the shepherd.
I think this picture is so sweet.  Mary was Mary, Lady Lu wanted to be the
baby Jesus and J-Man was a wise man.
I was the angel.  Most tender moment was
when my nephew told me I looked like a real
angel.  So cute.  I paid him $5 afterwards.

    Looks like fun! And PS, where did you get that amazing lace top in the Momma Hemingway photo? It's stunning! And so are you!

      Why thank you Talena. I think I got it from Down East, which I know isn't your fav store. I got it like a year ago and kind of forgot that I owned it. I do that sometimes.

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

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

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
