Pink

There's a new color invading these parts.

This blue and green Gap girl, mother of boys, is a little overwhelmed by it all.

Thank you, Sarah and Jami for the loveliest of showers. And thank you, dear friends--who may or may not read this blog but almost assuredly never make comments--for making me feel so loved and for your beautiful and generous and thoughtful gifts.

And also for throwing me head first into Pink.

I can't wait.

Hurrah for Pink.

With the addition of another Pink to our family the "pink and purple" loads of laundry just multiplied. :-) I used to swear I wouldn't be a lacy, frilly, pink and ruffles mom w/ my girls.

I was wrong.

I can't wait to meet the girl version of Steve! Or maybe you'll get a darling little Emily this time. How many days left? Not that you would be counting...

I love pink! All of your cute pink makes me miss my baby girls. Baby boys' clothing is handsome and fun, but not cute like pink.

Darling cjane, today I looked at, for the first time, pictures from Christmas that my husband finally took off the camera and onto the computer. Look for pregnancy photos in March. Or maybe in March I would rather post pictures of how I am not going to look pregnant anymore, 'cause that's what I'm looking forward to: skinny clothes.

Anyone else?

I just read this scripture quoted in a blog comment thread, alluding to. . .me. 2 Nephi 9:28 28 O that cunning plan of the evil one! O the vainness, and the frailties, and the foolishness of men! When they are learned they think they are wise, and they hearken not unto the counsel of God, for they set it aside, supposing they know of themselves, wherefore, their wisdom is foolishness and it profiteth them not. The context: I had suggested that Ezra Taft Benson's political views as expressed in 1968 before he was the prophet were not the official political views of the church, and shouldn't be construed as such. It is actually not the first time this month that I've been told through scriptural references that I am a wicked person {my extrapolated take-away from the conversations}. I give up.

Another taboo topic: money

I don't have a lot of real visible or artistic talents, but one talent that has served me well is an ability to manage and organize money well. A few of my sisters-in-law have asked me how I do the family budget, so this is a straight up accounting of how I do the accounting. When we get a paycheck: 10% tithing right off the top Then, with the remainder (net minus tithing), I divy it up into percentages and put money into different "funds" -- that I keep track of in the back of my paycheck because I'm old school like that. Mortgage: I figure out the percentage it will take to cover my mortgage. Usually 29-30%. I think this percentage needs to stay under 35% of take-home after tithing. Baby steps: 20% goes to meeting financial goals a la Dave Ramsey's baby steps. This means that you focus on one thing at a time, leaving the rest so that your money is not so thinly spread and you can make visible progress. This presupposes that one has abandoned using credit, and i
