Can you believe that it is November already? I am having a hard time wrapping my head around it. This is going to be a big month at our house.
We started the month off by travelling to Canada this past weekend. James served his mission there, and we decided to return to visit the area [...]

The transition of moving from a major metropolitan city to a small southern town has been quite the culture shock. Our town is small and things are done much differently here than I have ever seen before. When I was living in San Francisco, I had to walk about a mile to City Hall several [...]
Dear Fall,

I love you! I was done hibernating from the heat, when you swept in and lifted up my spirits. I am now filled with excitement for days spent outside at the beach, and in the park, and in the garden. Honestly, whoever would have thought that I would think it was too hot to go [...]
Swimming

Don’t people usually crave swimming when it is summery and hot outside? Apparently, not me. For the past week or so I have wanted to go swimming really bad. The weather has finally started cooling off and the humidity has let up a bit and all I want to do is jump in a pool. [...]

Hank really belongs to the neighbors across the street but today he decided that he wanted to hang out with us. The weather has been pretty nice today, so I had all the windows open. James and I were sitting in our guest room, at the front of the house, using laptops and Hank decided [...]

Can you believe that this happened six months ago? The saying time flies when you are having fun is definitely true in this case. We have been having a blast. James and I often find ourselves looking at each other going, “who knew it could be this good?”
I am continuing to learn that life is [...]

Pizza Dough- I made in the breadmaker set on dough setting or you could make it by hand or buy from Trader Joe’s if you [...]
First Harvest

I plucked my first okra from the garden today! It is about as long as my pinky. The ones that I have seen sold in the stores are about double the length, but everyone tells me if you let them get that long they get really woody and don’t taste very good. I am not [...]
Time to Start Traveling

These are all of the states that I have been to. I guess we are going to have to make a few trips! A southern states tour may be in order in the near future.
A Day of Rest
Posted in Uncategorized on September 7, 2009 | 4 Comments »
Sunday, the day of rest, was actually restful. Sometimes I feel like we run around awhole lot on Sunday. Today we relaxed quite a bit before church. In Sacrament Meeting I started trying to count heads of how many Young Women I would have for my lesson only to not see any heads at all. [...]
