Letting Go

Well sports fans it’s that time again. Yep, Jacob turns 17 today and I have to say this is one of the most difficult things I’ve ever done. Almost up there with actually, physically letting him go. Jacob, Happy birthday! I can hardly believe you’re 17. I’m so glad they don’t let people have babies...

    happy birthday to Jacob. He’s got the best present any kid could ask for: a mother who loves him and is willing to admit that we all need to grow and mature.
    ..That, and a truck. Truck’s are cool.

    Man. I realized today that I am still telling my 11-year-old what to wear and cutting his meat for him.

    I think I am going to have issues with this one…

    Dude! You rip my heart out with these letters you write to your kids. You’re amazing.

I Have a Little Teapot, An Airplane Teapot

For those of you who don’t know, I collect teapots, and I sew. Just a couple of things you probably don’t know about me. I only tell you this now, because I got this new little crowning jewel in my collection yesterday. I can’t remember being this excited about a new teapot. I do, of...

    Do I really know you at all? How did I not know that you collect teapots? It’s like you have two or three or four personalities or something. Sybil? Is that you? It’s a totally adorable teapot. Have fun fondling it.

    What was wrong with the camel?! Ahhh yes. I wouldn’t want a camel toe either.Yeah- the airplane was definitely the way to go. Good pick. I defintiely have mile high teapot envy!

    That is the MOST adorable teapot ever–and even more adorable ‘cuz you got a lower price than everyone else is gonna get. 🙂

    OMGOSH. That is seriously the cutest little tea pot ever!

  • AnnFebruary 1, 2008 - 9:08 am

    That has to be one of the best teapots ever. Rock on!

    I think you were so lucky to get this teapot. I looked on their website and of course could not find one, so you must have been there at the right moment. I collect airplane memorabilia and this fantastic teapot would be a most treasured treasure along with the wonderful small collection of airplane ashtrays I keep hoping to find. Personally I am so jealous of you right now and to brag so ostentaciously about it really gets me going. Wish I had your luck!!

Gordon B. Hinckley

I am sad. I have been sad all day. The president of the LDS church died yesterday. Being a convert to the church, he is the third president since I have been a member, but the first I have really developed a connection with, a true testimony of. He is certainly the first I was...

    He was the Grandpa you wish you had. He was the sweetest, dearest man I have ever seen. He was my first prophet (since I converted in 2001) and he will hold a special place in my heart. Thanks for your tribute.

  • RachelJanuary 28, 2008 - 2:18 pm

    We will all miss him. It’s hard to describe the feeling that has come over Utah since last night. He was a wonderful man and we were blessed to have been led by him.

  • loraleeJanuary 28, 2008 - 11:44 pm

    He was awesome. I loved him. I called him the “PR Prophet” because he completely changed things regarding growth, leadership and reaching out to non-mormons during his leadership.

    Plus? He was just a kind man.

    You could tell.

    I am glad he gets to be with his wife, though. I think he really missed her.

My Beautiful Ballerina

I love this girl.
