I'm happy to hear about your fabulous vacation, but so sad to hear you are sick. Coming back to reality after a trip is hard enough, w/o illness to boot. I wish I looked as good as you do, sick or otherwise! And if it makes you feel better, I was just in Utah last week (Jaimy had a baby), and I was depressed to come home, too. From Utah. You are depressed to return to the place that I wish I was, which shows you how much higher up on the food chain you are than me. :)
Sorry you're sick. You do have nice eyebrows. Is that any consolation?

Emily, I hate the flu. But you look a lot better with the flu than i do. When i had the flu, my appearance scared the daylights out of our neighbor. And he is a doctor. Crayton was quick to assure him that I look A LOT better with some make up.
And i concur with the others, great brows. amazing natural beauty. and really sassy glasses.

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...
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...
