Yesterday Bruce and I celebrated 2 years of marriage! I cannot believe it and then again I can. It has been a great rollercoaster, to quote my buddy Blakelee. We have lived and learned and hope to be together for a long time in our learning adventure.
I do have to give props to the hubby. He bought me this beautiful necklace because he knows how much I LOVE turquoise jewelry. I love him very much.
April is upon us once again and the weather in Utah cannot decide what it wants to do. I am longing for spring. Every morning as the bus I ride to work drives past Temple Square I stare out at the flowers that are starting to bloom and I hope that they don't get frozen. The other day I was over at my Mom's house. I peeked out the back door to see if the apricot tree was blooming and there were cute little blossoms on it. My niece, Emma, was out on the deck with me and I jokingly put my hands over her eyes like glasses and asked her if she had sung "Popcorn Popping on the Apricot Tree." Emma is 10 and she realized as we were out there that the blossoms truly do look like popcorn in a way.
Tomorrow is Davey's birthday, my brother. He is the old man of the clan and continues to lead out in strength and truth. Currently he is working for Kennecott. I am so glad to have him and his family near by. They keep me sane and I love to have the kids around for play dates.
Bruce continues to plug away at work and then come home to do his Aerating and Lawn Care business on the side. I am still working at the U. Other than that nothing else spectacular is going on. I have been slacking lately because we haven't had a reliable computer, thus no posts and no pictures. But I do want to share a couple pictures of quilts that I finished in the last little while.
There have been ever so many things that have happened over the last year. The biggest thing has been that I haven't had a computer to post on my blog. I am currently using a laptop that my sister gave me but I dream about the day I can afford, or save enough money, so that I can have a fancy new PC/Laptop.
I have been rather crafty over the past year and trying to keep up with the demands of all these wonderful people I know having babies. So here are a few samples of things I have made.
So, I have been devoting my time to other things besides blogging, i.e. crafting/Christmas craziness.
In the last month I made:
- 5 patchwork activity bags for my nieces and nephews
- 1 embroidered pillowcase for Aunt Catherine.
- 2 blankets for Anna @ work.
- 1 Baby quilt
- and many many messes!!!
Of all these projects I didn't take a single picture. Great job Catherine. Anna, however, sent me a photo of one of the blankets I made for her sons, see below. I will work on getting more pictures for the future. I do enjoy documenting my adventures and attempts at craftiness.
Sunday was a rather random day for me. I went to church, we had the Primary Program, I taught Primary, and then came home. The great fun for the day however came much later as our artistic talents were displayed in a little family pumpkin carving.
Emma carved a Spider
Eli carved a ghost, Pac Man, Pac Man Ghost, and more Ghosts
Amy carved the traditional Jack-o-Lantern.
