Standby Airline Tickets

Do you, your friends, family, neighbors, enemies, or anyone that you know have standby airline hookups???  If so, is there a way I can be a part of that deal?  I want to visit my family in D.C. this weekend when they visit my sister and the new baby!

Some Must Push and Some Must [Shove] – Day 2

I knew it was time to wake up when I heard the rooster cock-a-doodle-doodling. I’m not kidding.  I literally woke up to the sound of chickens!  I absolutely loved it!  It annoyed T.J. to death, but I loved the feel of being out in the country on a farm. We headed to town to watch the […]

Some Must Push and Some Must [Shove] – Day 1

As you may or may not know, I had been looking forward to this past weekend for quite a while.  We had been planning for on going to Enterprise, Utah (near St. George) for Pioneer Day-Weekend since May or so. Seeing as it is my first summer in Utah, I’ve never had what some may […]

Camp Memory

One year at camp when I was in the Young Women’s program at church, Blair and I were youth camp leaders over the first years. While laying in our cots each night, we all would make up these little rhymes having to do with camp: “I don’t know if it’s been said, but I wish […]

2 Months

I’ve been married for 2 months, today. Half of me feels like it has been 2 weeks. Half of me feels like it has been 2 years. What I’ve learned: Communication is key. A husband can’t read their wife’s mind. A wife can’t read their husband’s mind. Saving money is essential, yet nearly implausible. Without the gospel, […]
