Thankful Today

So many things to be thankful for: 

A home that keeps us warm and dry.

Fall leaves outside my window. 

Food baking in the kitchen.

Costco. Target. Kroger.

Family and friends. Love you!

Clothing and shoes (more than we need) for every season. 

My cramped laundry room that nevertheless gets the job done. 

Good schools.

Doctors and hospitals and medical coverage. 

Chiropractic.

Michele Wilks, Elizabeth Lohner, and Nicole Couch. Love you!

A temple close by and opportunity to go frequently.

 

Strike A Pose

Do you need family photos? MadMarie Photography is fabulous!

We had a really fun family photo shoot at the Arboretum yesterday and Madi just posted a few of our photos here on her blog. BTW, Madison will be in town until December 1st and has a few photography dates left.

I'd call her...

Mostly Cool

I couldn't sleep -- happens sometimes -- so came downstairs to catch up on some email, surf the Church website, and update my blog. Only now there's a rumbly in my tumbly and I don't feel good.

Not cool.

Best Date Night Ever

But what I really wanted to write about was the Best Date Night Ever, which was on Friday. We cruised down to Dallas to schmooze with Humanities types from BYU and hear about the Dead Sea Scrolls from Dr. Don Parry. Because he's seen them, touched them, studied them.

Cool.

The event was at the Kimballs' home. We were in the same ward way back when we lived in Dallas and I remember their oldest sons (one now on a mission) as little boys in Primary.

As we walked up to their door, I spied a familiar face through the window. It was the Dean of the College of Humanities, Dr. John Rosenburg, otherwise known as my bishop when John and I were engaged.

Blast from-the-past within a blast-from-the-past? Cool.
