Okay, so I'm trying to start up my blogging again. Everyone is doing it and it is uber trendy.. and yes, if everyone jumped off a bridge, I would do it too. I mean, the bridge must be on fire or there are zombies chasing us or maybe those mean monkeys from the new 'Planet of the Apes' are taking over The Golden Gate Bridge and it's jump or become monkey meat... or we all drank the kool-aide together, so there must be a good reason everyone is doing it, right (mom)?
So here we are... day one of consistently updating the viral world on my life. I've given up Facebook, Pinterest and PerezHilton for LENT, which starts today, so my only means of internet entertainment (I just spelled 'entertainment,' 'intertainment' because I had used an "i" for 'internet'... weird. The other day I snuck Jordan a note in church and had spelled 'future,' 'futer' I don't even know where that came from. I felt like one of those texters I h8.) ...back to the story-- go back to the words before the long parenthesis for this next end of sentence to make sense... is blogging and picniking the heck out of my pictures. So expect lots of updates and plenty of self indulgence! I think blogging is like the new scrapbooking. Only I'm afraid the great internet will one day be no more, like when the Apocalypse happens or something, and then my future children or grandchildren wont have the memories I've intended to leave behind because they will all be stuck in this dang glowing box. So you had better enjoy (the heck out of) my thoughts now while you can because you are robbing my unborn children of happiness in getting to know their parents through scrapbooks and journals left behind because instead it's all her on blogger.com, which might one day-- no longer be. Man, what would have happened to story of Anne Frank had she lived in the digital age!?
Well, lets get started shall we-- what to blog about today?
Oh I know....
So, Dragon (scroll to the bottom, click "Older Posts" to find out who "Dragon" is.) and I went to our friend Cami's house for dinner on Sunday night. We, of course, brought cupcakes for dessert.
Jordan trying to be as cute a Vana White as I am.
(Blueberry w/ Lemon Glaze)
They were not as good as they looked. I had to use Jiffy Blueberry Muffin Mix, so not really cupcakes at all.
While Cami and her husband were finishing up dinner, Dragon (okay, it's Jordan, but if I am going to do something so girly as blog about him then he insists I at least man him up and call him "Dragon") and I were playing with their 2 1/2 year old daughter. And the melt-your-heart conversation that follows is how that went...
"Addi, what did you learn in Primary today?"
"...the Holy Ghost "
"Oh, yeah? What's that?"
*whispery adorable baby voice* as she touches her flat palm to her chest,
"He's in my heart."
...melt.
So adorable, right. I about died of cuteness.
And then I said, "Man you've got some good teachers!" Four little words and a two and a half year old had entirely described what I can't seem to make sense to my nearly 30 year old friend. I suppose said friend would say she's only two; she's young and naiive, easily trusting of whatever is taught to her, hasn't yet got the smarts to ask questions, dig deeper, find the flaws-- maybe it's his smarts that are hindering his spiritual growth though. I think we've all got to have a good balance of smarts & hearts though.
At Cami's we had fajitas. Delicious!
And played some board games, Blockus is seriously addictive.
I must add that the first round
Dragon played a PERFECT GAME!
While Cami and Ephraim put Addi down to bed, I forced Dragon to take a cute pic with me. It was supposed to be only one, but well, look below-- the first one he had his 'fat face' on and Bill Cosby got into my nose, the second one; well looking at it now, there's not much bad about it, by the third he had given up on me trying to capture the moment, as the moment had long since passed.
(...man, maybe that's just my nose!?)
That's all for today. I have to get some meat and potatoes cookin' to feed that burly man of mine. He has had a long day at work and I know school is kicking his butt right now. I love him dearly and appreciate all the hard work he puts into building our future. I feel blessed everynight I get to cuddle up next to someone who loves me so much! xoxox to him.
