Fort Building

Seems like a great place to read a book or play with a doll.
Okay, so alot of my friends know that Claire has chosen the floor by the door as her favorite place to sleep at night so, Jed and I have tired various ideas to trick, bribe, etc.. her to stay in bed to fall asleep. Thus, far nothing has worked. This Friday night, we tried the fort. It did not work.
O well! What else were we going to do on Friday night!!

Go Tigers Go!!

Annie is our Tiger Baby.. She was in the oven at our Graduation!
We were so excited about this game we made Claire tatoo logos on her legs! Claire spent many times at in U of M in the womb!

The Job Hunt

So, Whats new in my world you might ask??? Well, nothing really,,,, After almost two years at Jed's current job, we are looking for a new place from which to get the bacon. And man, its nerve wracking.. I mean seriously, I feel kinda bad for him. He has to go and do this song and dance for each company he interviews for and then leave it in their hands. Its amazing how hard it is for some companies to understand that Jed's a family man, through and through.. no, he's not interested in staying at work till 8 every night.. no he doesn't want to travel 50 percent of time....
And so its puts us in position of finding the perfect fit.. So, my point is Pray for us!! Don't worry we aren't in the po' house .. ( hey speaking of which didnt there used to be a resturant in Memphis calle Po' Folks??!!.. I loved that place) but the more people we have putting positive thoughts out there the better!! We love all of you who frequent our blog.. even if its just for the our awsome taste in music!!

My Wedding

We were married in the Memphis, Tennessee Temple. For those you who might not be familiar with where that is,, its in the Bartlett area. You can learn more about Temples and my faith Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints at www.lds.org.
I had a few requests from people about seeing some wedding photos. I think my mom has most of them on CD but I had a few of the negatives laying around. So here we are, We were married on May 17, 2003. Holy crap.. yes, that means I've been married almost 5 years.!

The Valentine's Fairy?

Okay, So when i was kid we used to get something called the Valentine's fairy. Apparently, this is not the case with all families so I thought I would share it with you. So basically what happened is my dad would but stuff at the front door, ring the door bell, and then run away like crazy... then we would all run to the door and there would be candy and a small gift. After a couple of years, I began to notice that my dad was always curiously missing from the first few moments of this event.. Needless to say this year we will be trying the Valentine's fairy!! Jed, get your running shoes ready!!

This happened about 4 or 5 months ago.. it is pretty much a daily event around here... it doesn't always end this well. though!

Things to be thankful for....

After the recent passing of Pres. Hinckley, I just wanted to say a few words about how grateful I am to be living on the earth today. We all have so much to be thankful for and I hope that we will take the time to think about it each day. I love my kids. I love my husband. I am lucky to have such a great support system in my life and I hope that we take the time to truly think about those things that we hold dear.
