A Whole New World

Jarom loves to swim. Most Wednesday morning I try to take him. It's a good way for him to burn off that excess energy he has an abundance of. Today I took my camera along; when I got to the pool I remembered it was waterproof and thought, hey wouldn't it be fun to take some underwater pics of my kookie Jarom.

After a apprehensive moment I plunged the camera under the water and here are the results.

Do we have another Architect in the making?

This morning while we were doing Jarom's "homework" he decided to put the letters into piles according to whether or not he liked them. And even though the letter O is in his name he still doesn't like it. When I asked him why he didn't like those letter, he broke into a lengthy explanation about lines and the way they really should be going. It all sort of reminded me of many conversations with Spencer.

How does that happen?

Today our RS lesson was Elder Nelson conference talk on Celestial Marriage. During the lesson one of the Sisters mentioned that her and her husband had been married for 70 years and never had an argument. 70 years no argument.

I seriously want to know how this happens. I've heard this same statement during conference addresses or in a story from one of the lesson manuals and to be quite frank I sort of thought they were made up. No one I have ever personally been in contact with could make such a statement.

Seriously, how do you go through 70 years of marriage and not argue? I want to know. I'm going to become best friends with that Sister and find out all her secrets or maybe I shouldn't because I bet bitting your tongue and self control are a major part of it.

It was the most perfect day for a Winter Wonderland themed wedding. We awoke to a snow fall that was enough to cover the ground, but not enough to cause problems.

The day was, as every wedding day should be, filled with love, happiness, a beautiful bride and a an entranced groom.

Hobo Tote

My sewing skill are very limited, add that to my inability to follow pattern directions and what follows is me calling, Tricia or Sister Gatz and them basically holding my hand as I complete my sewing project.

Which is why I am so proud that I completed this awesome Hobo bag all by myself!!! Feel free to pat me on the back, as I've been doing a bit of back patting myself!

So I've been trying to find a pattern for a cute tote bag I can take along shopping with me, in an effort to be a little more environmentally friendly. I came across this pattern at jcaroline creative, and after finding this so cute material and then spending a week, cutting, thinking, picking out and sewing, I finally finish it. I love it, and I may go shopping right now, so I can put it to good work.
