A few years ago on one of those dating reality shows throughout the season they kept hinting about the girls' deep dark secret from her past. On the bachelor those secrets are always divorce or kids. On this show, it was that the girl had dated Fabio. The guy on the show dumped her for it. Too funny.

I went to see Penny Bird today. She asked about you and the kids, so I logged her onto your blog. There was Fabio and his peck, smiling at us.
HELLO CRAIGS! This is Andrew Dixon. Found your blog through a link on John and Jessica Skiba's blog (John is a very good friend of mine). Keep in touch. Our blog is thedixonfamilynews.blogspot.com. Keep in touch! I hope you're doing well in Utah.
Emily and Sara----I can clear this up--- I was reading the Skiba family blog Tuesday night and saw the links they had to some friends' blogs. Right above the link to our blog I saw one that said "I Didn't Say Banana" (thought it was an interesting blog title) and clicked on it. I kinda skimmed thru the blog and stopped dead when I saw a post with pictures of Emily and Steve Craig!!! So Emily I guess your sister Sara lives close by the Skibas in Queen Creek and knows them.
Further explanation of the connections here: John Skiba went to law school in Vegas with my husband Andrew. They are now very close friends. Steve and my husband were missionary companions in Chile. AND, Emily and I are related...we're like cousins. My maternal grandma is a Godfrey from Clarkston..I think we've talked about it before.
Sorry this is a long comment, but I hope it clears things up--so glad we found you and we'll keep in touch thru the blog world!
Last night while reading in bed, I developed a hankering for sweets: specifically, cookies or cake. Almost enough to get out of bed and make something. So I said, "Steve, I really want some cake. Or a cookie. Almost enough to get out of bed and make something." Then I added, "Why don't you call the Fattalehs and ask them if they have any cookies at their house." In very uncharacteristic fashion, my husband picked up his phone and asked, "What's the number?" I told him and he dialed something else and got the wrong number, and then I told him again and he dialed right the second time. He then got David on the phone and asked if they had anything sweet that we could come get because I felt like eating something sweet. Jami the hero always has delicious offerings at her house that she has made and that she is willing to magnanimously share with others, so David the hero said, "We do! We have brownies and oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. We'll ...
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...

Don't worry-- I'm sure that you'll see him again. You two were just meant for each other. . .
