ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

Last night Pride and Prejudice was on Channel 7 and I was so excited that it was on. Even though our channel 7 is fuzzy, I enjoyed every moment of it. I just found it channel surfing and it is rare that you find something worth while watching, let alone a classic. So I went from room to room hiding from the noise and I ended up in the office. Josh came to see what I was watching and quickly was sucked in to the old english dialogue, and the Bennett Sisters. I have never actually seen the whole movie in one sitting, and I was so excited to get the chance. By the time Mr. Darcey danced with Elizabeth and told her not to judge him...the kids were in bed and it was just getting good. I just kept thinking how it would be worth it to miss out on sleep and stay up until the end. Well Mr. Collins propsed to the beautiful Elizabeth (contrary to what Mrs. Bennett says...I think Elizabeth is much more beautiful than Jane) and she turns him down...then across the television flashes a notice to "stay tuned" so we "stay tuned" for another half an hour, watching lame advertisments and the movie never came back on...how long did they want me to "stay tuned" for? Till next Sunday? No thanks, i think I am going to have to go down to Hollywood to rent the movie so I can get my fix on a timeless classic. What a bummer! For all of you thinking, "why don't you just read the book, it is much better?" I have something to tell you. I tried to read it earlier this year and my brain cells are much smaller than they have ever been. I would try to muddle through that thick English dialogue on print, and it gave me a headache every time I opened the book. It is much more understandable on screen than it is in my head. Plus I have never been a literature buff...I read Of Mice and Men every year in high school so I wouldn't have to read a new book for my book reports. I always took the easy road...That is one of my dirty little secrets. However I do regret it now that I want to have more culture in my life and can't even make it through the first chapter of a Jane Austin Classic.

Happy Birthday Josh!!!

The Big 27. We're that much closer to 30. Most people don't want to be 30, but we're both excited about it...mostly for financial reasons, that we won't be in school anymore and we'll have learned from our mistakes from our 20's and hopefully be a little better off. A few months ago, my dad told me that we needed to get working on a bike for Josh for his birthday, so I figured a way to scrounge up some money, and my dad paid the other half. So when he got to work this morning, there was a brand new road bike waiting for him in his office. I couldn't sleep last night, thinking about it. When he left, it seemed like it took forever for him to get to work and call me when he saw his fancy new wheels waiting for him. I could say that this bike is nicer than the car he drives. (which he won't claim as his) He was so excited and said that he didn't see it coming at all. I love birthday's. They are so fun, even when they aren't your own. (too bad I couldn't find a picture of just josh....Looks like I need to work on that)

Wal Mart

I get a headache every time I go in that store. It is not worth it to save .08 cents on my purchase. There are people everywhere and the parking should be labeled with characters and offer a shuttle service because you have to park so far away from the actual building. I have been to two walmarts looking to complete a purchase of easels for Young Womens and I still don't have enough. I have also been looking for a Remington Flat Iron that the web says they should be in stores, but they aren't. So I had to buy that online....that is a whole other story. Luckily they are for Birthdays so I have a few months to track down the $.77 brass easles that are ugly and need to be spray painted anyway. I usually complain about WalMart...There is rarely a time I go there that it is not an ordeal. So this isn't just a bad experience. Well enough complaints, I hope you enjoyed the pics of cute little boys.

My Heart is full

With the passing of President Hinckley, and some other things going on in my life, my heart is overflowing. I am grateful for so many blessings, and a wonderful family. And how awesome to live in the days of President Hinckley. I have been picturing what it is like on the other side, and I can only see all the Angels along with Moses, Abraham, Joseph Smith, and other great prophets lining up to welcome him on bended knee. I am so grateful to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and be numbered with those that were saved for these last days. We have a great work to do. I don't have much else to blog about because I have been consumed with these things lately so I thought I'd share what is on my mind.
