not this cute anymore!
It's definitely not raining or snowing in Vegas.. and I am glad about that. But how is it Monday again already? I had every intention of blogging over the weekend, but there wasn't a second to spare. It just goes by too fast and somehow we're starting another week. We had a great time the past couple of days... we went to the temple, bought a new couch, started another painting project, tried a couple of new recipes, ate the yummiest apple cinnamon bread, hung curtains, took long naps, and decorated our house Turkey-style.. it was busy and I don't have a single picture to show for it.
I do, however, have another picture. I came across a photo from one of my bridal showers (taken 8.5 years ago.) And at the time, I was wondering how in the world I could keep in touch with ALL of these girls that I love so much. Guess what?? EVERY one of them has a blog.. EVERY SINGLE ONE. and those who don't keep their blogs updated (you know who you are) I so wish you would so I wouldn't have to CALL you to know what's happening in your life. Who uses the phone anymore, really?
Bloggers pictured:
Top: RaeLynn, Tristie, Heidi, Nat
Middle: Francine, Azy, Moi, Janessa, Steph
Bottom: Smelsha, My sister Debbie, Kelly, Becky, and the hostess Valerie.
I just wanted to take the opportunity to bear my blogging testimony. I love keeping in touch with so many people that I love. I am so grateful we have the technology we have to make it so easy. I am so glad we can print it out at the end of the year and have everything documented. I am so grateful for my kids... for the material they give me to blog about. And even though my husband is not an active part of my blogging world and will probably never become a member-- I am grateful that he gives me the support to do what I love. I am grateful for the people who comment because I totally feel the Spirit every time you do. I know that blogging is the ONLY way to live and that whoever invented it was inspired by God to restore it in these Latter-days. I say these things over the World Wide Web. Amen.

you are such a hilarious person. and I will tell you why. I wondered why you had linked yourself and when I clicked on "Moi" I laughed so hard. That is so you. loved this post. crazy that everyone is blogging. it's the cool thing to do these days. I guess I should get started!
oh, and this might be rude, but I have to ask. is someone's name actually Smelsha? if it is, that's cool. please don't be offended that I asked
her name is Elsha but she comments as Smelsha and I don't know if I will ever be able to go back.
Love that picture! You all have baby faces. It is awesome that you are able to keep in touch with everyone! Where was I?? On my honeymoon??
0oh and it's one of those Mondays here... rainy, cold, and I've had strep throat all weekend so yes we are just laying low.
I second your blogging testimony and add my hearty "AMEN!"
That is great! I wish I would have had a great group of friends like that from high school. Oh well.
So hey, my mom read your blog the other day (btw she loves it) and noticed your pictures from halloween in utah and the kids playing in the leaves. Anyway I guess your brother lives in her neighborhood! So crazy!
Well it is a rainy day and a Monday here in Arkasas! I'm trying not to get down, but it's hard when your baby throws a fit if you wont let him sit under a freezing cold rain gutter puddle when he is getting over being sick. Oh-well:) I haven't commented on your blog for a while, but I just wanted to tell ya I still check it and laugh at your stories whenever I have a minute. I'm glad you had a great weekend and are gearing up for the holidays!!
Hey I ♥ your blog! Thanks for sharing :)
I'm totally having a Monday. Blah. However, this picture is awesome. And I thought Becky had fallen off the planet. *Off to look at her blog*
Your blogging testimony really strengthened mine--thanks! :)
AMEN sista!
Just when I thought I was getting cuter in my old age you go and post proof that I am dilusional.
And c'mon..it's only been a week since I have posted anything. But I will try to update soon.
Ummm...how come I look so scary in all the pics you post. YIKES!
PS Janessa you are super cute and always have been.
Dang, that was a long time ago!! Fun times!! I'm trying to be more of a blogger, I know I'm one of the ones mentioned!!! Being back on the Shumway blog gives me inspiration to do it more!! There really is no better way to keep in touch!!
That cracked me up!!
You are so hilarious and so upbeat. People just can't help but want to read your blog because it makes us happy! Glad you had a good weekend.
