Today would be a nice day to be at Disneyland







Also: Steve and I are going to Hawaii on Christmas Day. I would love suggestions on what to do, where to eat and stay, exciting travel tips from anyone who has ever been to Oahu. I have been negligent about planning this trip and need to get on it. Thanks!

frick, I'm jealous.

Oahu was way fun, my suggestion is to head up to the north shore. You got beeeyuutiful beaches, the PCC, and the Dole Pineapple plant. Delish.

Can't help you with Oahu, but I LOVE the Disneyland pictures. It reminded me that we need to go again... ;-)

Are we actually going to meet now that you have moved to OOOTah? We need to plan another blogger lunch...

Nate and Kristine, I never got back to you. No, I looked on the program and we didn't go on a night he was in it. Too bad! I'm sure he was fantastic, and I wish you could have come up for it.

Only been to Hawaii once and we passed mucho tiempo on Kauai and it was lovely. The Napali Coast is breathtaking.

EMILY!!!! You did it again - you went to Disneyland without telling me you guys were in town. Guess what? I was at Disneyland on FRIDAY with all my kids (yes, me and 3 kids - you just take it slow). I'm really sad we didn't get to see you guys. Please let us know if you're ever down there again!!

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...

Two things

First and foremost, happy birthday to my wonderful mom! I honestly don't know anyone more generous, giving or good with people. I like to think of myself as being generous, giving and good with people, but I've got nothing on her . She schools me, bigtime. Some of the unique things that make my mom my mom: She loves my children absolutely, which is a joy and a comfort to me. When she is around, they prefer her to me. She would rather be with her grandchildren than out with the adults, but does not relax when they are around. It's constant counting heads, making snowcones, taking off too-warm clothing, changing diapers, getting drinks. It's exhausting, and she's good at it. And she loves it. (I'm pretty sure.) She hates flying, but flies all over the place, because travel and culture and enriching experiences and seeing family trump her fears every time. She also hates bridges. And swimming. And confrontation. And cooking. And bad grammar. And dopey people. And a...
