And then...AND THEN

Sorry about all of these pictures. I wish they would have turned out a little bit clearer but I still haven't found the battery charger for my camera so I am forced to use my phone.


This is the Honduran frame that Whitney gave me. It symbolizes Whitney looking at all of us from far away. She is the girl on the left ;)




This is the new and improved living room. I think Sara's quilt looks perfect!





All of the Nativity sets and the "JOY" blocks.

I love the Honduran frame. Put a picture in it and display it. We enjoyed the weekend with you and Brooks and the rest of the family. It looks like you are already enjoying your shower gifts. I hope we will get our tree up tomorrow.

Boy, you and Brooks are fast! I think there are still pictures to put up at my house from the last move.

I'm glad to see you already using the stuff. I am glad to see Brooks using the pink tools, but remind him not to get too fond of using them. :) We may start wondering.... The Joy looks cute too. I made one for me too and it's our only decoration we have up right now. We have the tree but I have to rearrange some things and get the rest of the holiday decor out of storage. That may not happen until later this week. We'll see. I did go over to Sara's and we totally decked out her house with the holiday spirit. I hope she takes some pictures and posts them because she pulled a Lizzy and has a very loaded Christmas tree. isn't it fun to have a place of your own and to decorate it with cute things. Now cherish the opportunity to have a clean house before it's a constant mess with a little one tearing things apart left and right. It's worth it though. Well now that I've written a whole email I'll let you get back to enjoying the Holidays! Love you! OH yeah..... Brooks too :)

So good to see you putting all your shower gifts to use right away. Glad that the tools came in handy. Is that one of Shelley's aprons that you are wearing? I'm sorry to hear that our shower gift didn't arrive in time. Your Mom says that she will give them to you this weekend. I hope that you will have a good time in the temple. It is such a beautiful place to be. You are ready for this. You have prepared and it is time for you to take these next few giant steps. Try to be calm and take some deep breaths.

I loved seeing you using all your new things. They all look so cute in your new little home. I wish I could have been there for the ceremonial baking of the cookies. My house is all decorated and I love the feeling in the air. It is quite warm up here though. We need some snow. See you in a few days. I am so happy that I get to be in the temple with you for the first time. It will be a very special day.

You'd better bring Jumper up for me to watch this weekend. And then we'll have some food, and then we'll go to the temple, and then maybe we can play a game like the story telling one that I'm so good at!! lol :D

I sure hope you get this, if not I guess I'll call you if you don't repsond. Anyways I found something that might be good to use on your hair for the wedding, it is Garnier Sculpting Creme. See if you can find some and then try it out to see if it works. I think you put it in your hair before you dry it or maybe right before you curl it. Anyways try it out and curl your hair and see how long they last. Also if you could make sure to bring some clips to just hold your hair out of the way while I curl it. I'm so excited, I did LEslie's hair after you guys left. It was funny at first it looked a little to CMTish but then I fixed a few of the curls and it turned out really really beautiful. I don't think Leslie is used to that hair style but she looked great, as will you when I"m done with ya!!!! :)

Wow Miranda SWEET hook up! Your home looks so beautiful, and I love your couches Brooks gave you for your birthday - very nice! I'm so excited for you. It's so fun to have a place of your own and settle in the way you want. Hope all is going well for you! Congratulations!
